Thanks @Shit Snacks. I'm back and forth on this jhook versus a GVB bead stem.
I'm not sure what I want more, better cooling or a more compact design for ease of use. Maybe the GVB stem offers both?
I already have a 18mm wpa to pair with a few bubblers. I guess I really need a more mobile...
I was looking at the jhooks that OGB makes and has a question about the side car bend models

Does that right angle bend really offer more cooling than the regular design? I don't see an...
True, better in the jhook thread. I figured $42 was somewhat cheap.
I had a question about the triple right angle but I'll ask it in the other thread. I did read your comment about spikes not making a big difference.
Friday nights at 9pm est, Troy and Jerry stream their show on Twitch. I jumped in the chat that runs during the show a few times. It's pretty fun for guys like me who consider a great Friday night to be a dab, a beer, a laptop, and a couch.
Curious about making your own bead stem for the TM2. Those Grav octotaster tubes have a glass screen on one end. If you filled one with boro beads, is it difficult to torch the other end and form a flat mouthpiece to hold the beads in place? Is there a need to anneal the piece once heated? I...
Thanks. I'm not opposed to trying a glass screen. I have a glass screen in my enano ice stem and I kinda like it, but I couldn't tell you why. :) Maybe it's the simplicity of the setup. I am eyeing a GVB bead stem, if I can ever get lucky when a drop comes along, and I've only seen pinched...
Thanks @Zipford. I will give them a try.
I was hitting the TM2 hard today and backed the heater down from 6 to 5. For my unit, that seems to be a good place for flavor with less roast early on. The one step down is also easier on my throat. Still in the infancy stage on experimentation...
Dude, you posted this at exactly 4:20. :wave:
So my TM2 came yesterday from Vgoodiez. I cleaned and checked and tested it out. The unit looks perfect and functions just as advertised. The only thing that had a little grime was the inside of the Ti stem. I wish I was a pic poster as it has...
I ordered from Vgoodiez and, according to usps tracking, my TM has spent the last four days bebopping around the state of Georgia. Not V's fault, but I wish the government would get my TM across state lines. :bang:
I missed out on the GVB sale, as those plain jane bead stems looked like a great deal.
Maybe I'll get another shot around black friday :shrug:
In the meanwhile, I ordered a plain 18mm wpa from TRRW for a mere $15. I bought this bastard to go all out clouds and I'm not letting any restriction...
I will explore the lower temps for cooler and tastier hits. However, there is the belief that lower temps bring out more racy, sativa-like highs. IDK if it's the power of suggestion or not, but I get some anxiety from sativas or bowls vaped at lower temps. I tend to stay in the 380-390F range...
I know I'm gonna get beat up here, but I don't see the big deal with repeat questions. If I don't like the post or the repeat question I just scroll past it. I do this all the time when threads go off on tangents, like 30 posts on shipping taxes. I'm sure I'm guilty of repeat questions...
Unless you use a very fine filter you're gonna get some bits of shit coming through any stem with a glass or metal screen. Yes, you can use a little cotton/hemp but it's gonna get gunked up and increase resistance (as was previously mentioned). My plan is to use the TM through a bubbler, which...
