...seems pretty ideal for your situation although I prefer TM more than my original bowle, I use it with right angle hook from Oregonglassblower and simple plain glass WPA with steel mesh basket screen or GVB stems like my favorite being the U-turn stem... I like having the full temp range...
Lake Green pyro high tech vigreux cooling stem in oregonglassblower 18-14 45° angle adapter seems like a nice mouthpiece for more airflow... Going so well with rick bird barry royal jelly double ghost dropdown too!
You in the states? I’d email OregonGlassBlower. He’s done a couple of custom adapters for me at a reasonable price.
So my thing lately is 3/4 bowl, one heat cycle. I give it a light tamp so the abv doesn’t move around & working good. Even let it rest upside down while still in there. Ronx...
I really appreciate all the excellent info you shared and the time you took!! I've copied your text and will research the j-hooks from sources you suggested. I have two longer straight stems but they do not fit well. Ryan's original short stems fit perfectly. The others work but have a slight...
...J hook or other dry glass, I think a hook would be really nice with this, WPA gives you two pieces to clear nicely... A hook from Oregonglassblower, with the triple right angles, provides great cooling and visual while still be able to hold with one hand, there are a lot of other options...
Yes I had a couple made a while ago, they are not able to make more, but I had Dan get them the specs so they could make it... I've been meaning to get one that is a U-turn stem custom from Oregonglassblower...
Yes, I've got the WPA attached to the hook I just don't use it for water! I have a cheap hook but I'll look into OregonGlassBlower. I've had my eye on the GVB stems but never pulled the trigger - maybe it's about time.... Thanks!
...stems backwards since I have so many but Rogue sells them too) through an awesome hook like the triple right angle sidecar from OregonGlassBlower gives some of the best vapor quality... But I also really like my U-turn stem from Good Vibes Boro and my other stems from him including WPA... I...
Good to know.. always appreciate your insight SS! I think I’m gonna give it a few days to see if Alan has any bamboo HI’s in stock. Awaiting email response. I’m prepping my TM order in the meantime though! Thank you sir!
...from Good Vibes and Pyro Tech and Rogue Wax Works, there are a lot of options but I find right angle bends do a lot of cooling so Oregonglassblower has really nice high quality option for a hook, good vibes can make something similar that is direct stem, but there is also a Chinese hook...
...aftermarket stems usually from Good Vibes, the purer pathway helps and it doesn't steal as much as the stock CU so even better performance at lowest temp settings (best would be using a plain WPA through simple cooling hook like what I have from Oregonglassblower) but I have many glass options
...tempting!! As is don't use mine enough
What I really want is to get another custom glass piece, to only use mine upside down like this, I want a double right angle U-turn hook glass stem for it (like I have from good vibes boro for my TM2 or my triple right angle fem hook from oregonglass...
Very excited by the idea of all the ti stems being like this, means I can get to using it this weekend (with glass stem) and not go through the rigmarole of exchanging it.
It’s not a dealbreaker for me, just expensive so I’d prefer not to have a defect.
If you like the idea of cooling balls...
...they are much longer if not cut down... Good Vibes didn't seem to do any TM WPA in this batch but might in the future and can do custom although it requires much patience? Could also try Oregonglassblower for a pricier high quality option though not sure how quick that would be made to...
I have a similar reducer from OregonGlassBlower. The stock screens work well in it and the ZX appears to mate perfectly to it.
I do feel I get slightly better performance with the stock adapter compared to the OGB reducer. The stock adapter feels slightly more restrictive on the intake...
