The ball retaining screen? I put off change the balls for a while. Was pretty easy, I did it first try. I just did a quick sharp twist anti clockwise. When you put the screen back in, make sure it clicks when you twist it so you know it's in the right placefinally received my t2 today. With free zirconia balls to go with the zirc balls it comes withDoes anyone know how to remove the screen on the t2? Came with a bunch of screens and I cant even get the one thats installed out to try and clean it lol

Okay thanks, I was afraid I was doing it incorrectly but gave it a good twist and it came out fine. Also, whats the steel C shape thing? Is there any point to that adapter? I canāt seem to see why you would use it over the glass

Thanks for posting, looks like I will be buying a wood seconds and sanding down.
Actually no, I did break the screen. I guess thats why they needed to send so many spare screens
Could you show a picture of it? Can it not be bent back into shape? It was probably the balls getting in the way, I probably should've said to make sure you tap the head to get the balls slightly out of the way to give you a smidge more space
Oh and the c shape thing is to set the bowl screen size. There's a couple of pictures and stuff further back in the post explaining it. Essentially the groves on the stem near the threading corresponds to the screen size. You place the c shape tool in the grove yoh want then put the bowl over the tube until you hit the c shape tool. I'm terrible at explaining
Haha nah youāre alright bro, Iām a 6ā4 SÄmoan/MÄori with fat fingers and overly excited to use it and mangled the screen and sent the balls flying around the kitchen haha. I tried to flatn it back down and bent a piece even worse, so I just swapped it out, lucky I got spares.
I scrolled back and saw a bunch of info, I got the bowl set right now too thanks for that and I get what the adapter is for now.
Time for to hit this thing

if you got the same extra zirc balls as me. then the extra ones should be 2,5mm. your head has 3mm pre-installed.finally received my t2 today. With free zirconia balls to go with the zirc balls it comes with
Yes, I noticed that when I took them out to swap them with the Zic carbide balls from my T1, threw them in the same bag as the āextrasā only to see that theyāre different sizes

Would that gasket not get too hot there? They all look amazing. Did you make them?

Your stems are sleek and they make the V2 look sleeker! Congrats!

I like the titanium but that Pequia would probably convince me to change.

Mine arrived today. Seven days from shipping to delivered here in NY. Amazingly quick for an overseas order. Wonāt get to try it out until tomorrow, but itās gorgeous. Even more so than the pictures, and I really like the weight. Feels much beefier than the V1, which is a plus for me and my big hands.
Thanks a ton, @Brenyo!

@Logo thanks! it is a thick high temp oĀ“ring (from he Alivi8, which make it suffer more than this 
). But another oĀ“ring, like theofficial one for the shield, would work great.
A woodworker did the inner diameters and the basic tube form factor. I did the final shape (not too complex) and corrections, since the woodworker did it as a secondaryfast work.
@sternit thank you! I could make carbhole for some of them, depending on how tight they are (since they are not perfect andit must have a proper closed position). I could make a couple of holes on the fins zone in some of them, to improve the disipation.
@Zagala thank you!
@HaggisHunter thanks! The Beech wood has a nice beige/cream color!
@phenomflowers Do you mean the top oĀ“ring? I should take a look at the size of the stem walls, iĀ“ll tell you. At first, when they were straight, the OD was 15-16mm, but i donĀ“t know the actual OD
@tashian The pequia one is my favorite! It is like golden ebony
(it has a density of 1060 kg/mĀ³)
If anyone can tell me what kinf of wood is the ???? i would be grateful! It is hard but soft to touch and the visual texture has that kind of wood gloss that changes when youy move it.
And adding something: the palo santo smell is great! For anyone who didnĀ“t know that wood, it is used to be burned in churches and meditation purposes cause its smell.

These are all so nice! Are you still just doing these with a drill? I wish I could help with the mystery wood type.

I got super lucky and was able to snag a V2 off the entexchange. Sorry @Vermin Surpreme 
Wow, this thing is a beast. I've been pretty obsessed since it arrived. Been working from home the last couple of days blasting bowl after bowl of CBD changing set ups and dialing in what works for me. I've also ordered a couple of the wood sleeves already. I missed the standard ones so I got factory seconds, hopefully they aren't too bad. (Well shit, just looked on the site and the normal wood sleeves are back in stock...grr)
So far my favorite set up is zirc balls, cap airports at about 50% and stem airport set to the small slot, wand at 525 with the V2 adapter. I love the performance I get with the full size bowl. (I haven't tried the full bowl with THC yet, I have a small tolerance) I can take the full bowl with no throat irritation. Dark brown ABV.
I'm going to play around with some low temp hits to get some more flavor.
This thing has already earned a permanent spot in my collection. The design itself is pretty much a marvel. The fact that it performs so well and gives so many options for use is practically unbelievable. At some point, I'm going to try to snag a V1.

Yes, it could be delayed even further, unfortunately. Iām waiting for the reloads and the tool case.
