Nice! Are there any changes to the threads? I absolutely love the Reload--it's a crucial part of my daily kit--but my only criticism would be fussy threading. I thread things together all day long--it's pretty much part of my job description--and still I have to be careful not to cross-thread my...

I'll bet the cannabis industry is much like alcohol, in that the heaviest 10% of users consume something like 90% of the product. However, I'll bet that heavy cannabis users are much more likely to produce our own than alcohol users are. The legal market has little appeal for me because...

Thank you! That sounds like a perfect solution. Unfortunately, you also set off my VAS, so the Hyper 9 might end up in brass.

Is the storage chamber on the V2 Flask full-length? I'm picturing some difficulty getting the last bit of weed out of the bottom using the tamping method, like an old Dugout. I see there are still some V1s available, which I might find preferable for the partitioned chamber.

Has anyone tried a Silo with a Simrell? Is damage a real issue, or more of a theoretical possibility? I just ordered one, and I'd love to use it for my Hyper 9. If it is a problem, I may try to install a thin, narrow layer of heat-shrink tubing at the widest point of the stem. Otherwise my M+...

And I'm not sure I have much to offer in terms of making a sale. It is still an M, after all, so for anyone deep in the Dynaverse with a collection of stems and tips, it's probably not going to be your new favorite. But it does speak to the things I like in a DV, mainly airflow. It is...

Yeah, more testing is required, but so far I'm not very impressed by the one-hit function. You have to heat so aggressively on the dimples that the lower edge of the cap glows red and, as you note, the stem gets very hot. And the first pull reminds me of hitting a Grasshopper--it can just about...

Oh, yeah, if you don't have sticky rubber, you're not getting the flat pedal experience. When people tell me they tried flats but didn't like them, I always ask when shoes they were wearing. Usually, they're mountain biking in their New Balances, which just won't give you the locked-in traction...

"Can be used"? Sure, it can be. There are many condenser-free stems out there--I love the Strong Arm, a straight glass tube with a 14mm joint, through a water piece. However, that stem is definitely designed to use with a Stinger. Without it, native hits would be a little too direct, and the...

I slept on the $175 Simrell Hyper 9 early drop, but I was really tempted, and then Troy and Jerry woke my dormant VAS. So I came here to see what people think, as FC has been the most dependable resource for years, IMO. Amazingly, I can find nothing about a big drop from a well-known...

And will it be 12mm+ to accommodate an armored cap?

I hope the mods will forgive me for replying to my own post, but I wanted to check in on this thread in a year, and here we are. And no, I'm not hyper-organized; an email notice about activity on this topic coincided with the anniversary of my first post. Anyway, my list is two-thirds...

What? There's a Reload upgrade? The Revolve hasn't taken the top spot in my reach test (sorry for the lack of a review, Brenyo--but the problem is me, not the device. It does everything as advertised, and it's beautifully executed. I just don't find a need for so much adjustability, especially...

Okay, I didn't try very hard. But the Zombie Apocalypse is Halloween adjacent, right? And that Strongarm in my stem caddy sure is spooky.

I keep the temp at the lowest setting in case I accidentally leave it in past the click. But, as @Texus noted, the temp setting is really just a timer calibrated to the banger. Even at its lowest setting, it goes long enough to combust a DV three times over. I do find that I need to use a...

I'll bet Oregon Glassblower could make you one: https://oregonglassblower.com/main.sc

Yeah, some of them are pretty weak from the factory--I think their spec range is pretty broad, and mine escaped QC at the low end of the range. I realized they could be stronger when I watched Sneaky Pete's Anvil introduction vid, and he used one to good effect. I found some instructions on...

I have a couple of friends who were already vaping when we met, but otherwise, no, I never run into vapers. However, to be fair, I don't encounter people using cannabis often in any form. It's legal here, but not in public. That's always a huge bummer to me. When I used to drink, I loved sitting...

I don't use one. I may be missing something, but it's never seemed necessary. With vaporizers a water piece stays remarkably clean. I wash mine out with hot water in just a few minutes.

I got a mega-globe Mk II a while back, and my initial impressions were really good. I hadn't used a whip on anything aside from my SSV. It had been quite a few years since I used the SSV, and I never missed the whip. So I started out skeptical, but I loved it almost immediately. The hookah...
