Thanks. I've had a few people ask. Thing is they'd be expensive enough in bits and time that people would probably expect a less "made in my shed" finish 😂😂

Made a few more of those external cooling collars.... The one on the left is my daily driver, I've made a grip for the battery screwtop plus sealed around the base as I take this out with me and don't want crap or moisture getting in. The middle one I've experimented by bonding a magnetic...

Finished off the stem. Think I'll go with a friction fit wooden cap rather than my original plan for a magnet. I've topped the steel collar with an agate ring. Machined it down a bit. Feels sooooo much nicer on the lips and the vapour is the coolest of all the stems I've tried (splinter, j hook...

Ive tried various stems but happiest with my current effort. It's the standard, with the standard CU but with a thick section of stainless pipe cut to fit. It's 16mm ID, 22mm OD. Needs a lot of filing and polishing internally then heating in boiling water before fitting. It is a friction fit...

It is a fiddly process, yes. The screw takes quite some tension and you have to tighten and prevent the heater twisting/misaligning in the chamber. The post has to project through a fairly small hole. The sleeves and o ring can be a source of mischief too. If you don't need to do it, don't...

Stripped it down pretty fully. The heater unit is enclosed in wood save a hole for the post to screw to a gold contact on the board. It's then separated from the wood by another quartz glass sleeve. This appears the same size as the sleeve above it that sits between the wood and the ali sleeve...

Oh yeah, read back a bit. Can't see how that would make any difference to the flavour whatsoever really. Seems like having something unnecessarily breaky just for the sake of it tbh

I'm not really sure what people are referring to here. There is a quartz glass sleeve then an aluminium one, then the stem. Are some different?

FWIW.... I dropped my tinymight from a 4ft bench to a concrete workshop floor today. It landed stem first (stock stem), assumed the worst but I have a 1mm chip in the top of the stem. No other damage. Probably part luck, but you've really got to work to break this thing I'd say.

Put an oring and a tungsten carbide band on my shortened rbt stem. Just to give a bit of protection!!

I'm sure it's already been mentioned but there are 2 types of RBT stem. One has a flat cut end and accommodates the CU the other does not as it has a pinched/tapered end I guess due to being individually formed. I cut this end with a pipe cutter (very carefully) sanded smooth and it's ideal as a...

I think the heater is quite prone to debris. I've not had it happen but I can see how with a loose fine grind bits could find their way inbetween the coil spiral. That'd definitely combust I'd say. Maybe gradual build up under the heater and turning it upside down a load dropped onto the...

I particularly like the weird zx spectrum loading noise you get from the heating coil :lol::lol: I wonder about the longevity too, be good if replacement components like the coil were modular. Has anyone been brave enough to do a teardown yet? That big hex screw is tempting :lol:

I've noticed no smell, and certainly no dodgy taste after oiling it. It does get quite warm if you've been hitting it hard but definitely not hot.

I've rubbed a bit of cci gunstock oil (linseed, Danish oil and beeswax mix I think) into it but that's all. It is very open grain oak so will always feel textured (which I like) unless you fill it and polish. It has darkened since I got it, just through handling after gardening.. That's the...

I have mine. Arrived last week after about a weeks wait from a vendor in France. I have to say its is genuinely the best portable I've ever used. Better by a long stretch (IMO) than the others I've owned (mighty, cfx, pax3, dynavap, splinter v2, firefly, p80 and others). I am not easy to please...

Another top tip, if you have the xlr8 stem, you can drop the skinny dab tool/poker they give you inside it, spoon first. This stays put, even upside down. You can get it out with a little wiggle/tap. Great for keeping it to hand for digging out the screen. I'm yet to inhale it :lol:

Tcr 125, Watts capped at 45, resistance locked and a 2 sec preheat. I use auto fire too. Tend to stick with either 200 or 210.

Loving my V2 now I've got it running TCR. Using Arctic Fox on an RX2, watttage mode was just inconsistent for me - with hotspot clearly visible on the herb on all but the very lowest settings (which produced no vapour, although lovely flavour). Now its setup nicely its absolutely smashing it...

I bought one. Positives: nice flavour, easy to use, precise control and both target and actual display temp., compact and light enough for any rig. Negatives: bowl hard to clean fully when really dirty, bowl not easily removeable, bowl seems to be a cut and bonded construction not single...
