For awhile my go to stem was the stock long stem with boro balls between the CU halves and a TRWW mp. Adds a bit of draw resistance, cools great, don’t have to worry about screens. I since have gotten a couple stems but I keep coming back to that stock long stem
I also think the aftermarket is great. But the TM is not an inexpensive vape, and those stems add a not negligible expense on top of that. Reading through this thread you can get the idea that they’re necessities (as @Rodney seems to have possibly thought) rather than luxuries, and that’s not...

I have 2 now. I’ve been using one on my Revolve Gen 2 and it’s cool and delicious (using the Wand.) The second is on a Simrell thaya burl vortex but hasn’t been used yet while I take a little break after a recent Covid exposure.
I’ve got one on a Revolve. Very nice. Flavor is very very good. Cooling is insane. 3-hit bowls. Using a wand. Edit: Also trying a Simrell perforated cap. Wide open airflow. Also delish, though it might almost be too much airflow.
Nah, you’re fine. DV gets a lot of crap around here both deserved and undeserved. If it works for you, great. I don’t really get the vapapocalyptic (“this vape DESTROYS all other vapes ever and if you don’t immediately buy one and trash all your other vapes you’re an idiot. I got completely...
