    Yes. The capsule doesn't go into the stem.

    TinyMight / TM 2

    Just received my TM2 and have been looking up info on using S&B's dosing capsules. The re-design of the TM's heater and chamber makes it less likely that the chamber's screen will be pushed into the heater. The heater also has it's own perforated cover. If you are gentle while inserting the...

    Dynavap VapCap

    I received a couple of Bs this Wednesday from POTV. Up till this point, I've been using only electronic vapes, so I don't have anything to compare the B with. The B functions well as a micro dosing "one-hitter". It definitely is a good choice for people that tend to lose things. Losing $40 is...

    Discontinued Ghost MV1

    FYI, Sneaky Pete's stream today was a deep dive on the rise and fall of Ghost: Deep Dive - Ghost MV1 I have a stealth and a silver MV1. Don't use them anymore since they were always giving me consistency issues. :doh:

    Boundless CFV

    Boundless changed the CFV back in 2018. The herb chamber is now solid aluminum. I've been using one of my older CFVs with the two part plastic herb chamber and aluminum dosing capsules (S&B). It's my thinking that the aluminum acts as a thermal sink because the CFV needs 2-3 draws to start...

    Boundless CFV

    I run my CFV (V1) for 4 sessions each evening. Looks like the CFV's timeout is set for 4 minutes, so a total of 16 minutes still leaves me with the batteries about 50% charged. Perhaps the SwiftPro has different batteries in it or you need a better quality USB cable? I've found that these...

    Boundless CFV

    Too quiet around here! To quote a line from Pink Floyd's "The Wall": "Is there anybody out there?" :) I picked up a couple of the older version CFVs on clearance the summer of 2019. The black one lasted 2 years before the batteries barfed all over everything. The red one still works great, but...

    What is your daily driver out of your arsenal?

    The Boundless CFV gets used the most around here with glass. I have a pair of the original V1 CFVs that work really well using dosing capsules and the basket screens (known as "Crystal Pipe Screens"). Boundless had these on sale for $50 shipped at Christmas last year. For tasting a new strain...

    Ah! These tensioning strips and the small retention tabs at the bottom of the case could be only on later versions of the case. I had two cases with the retention tabs and one without. The one without was much easier to remove the batteries, so maybe no tensioning strips in that version? Looks...

    If you search for LGGBM261865, towards the top of the results is a YouTube video that says: "LG M26 (LGGBM261865) might be the worst 18650 cell of all time" I ordered some Samsung 30Q to replace the LGs. Here is an enhanced picture of the outer shell. Batteries are tensioned sideways by the...

    OK. It's possible to remove/replace the MV1's batteries without ripping apart the housing! The trick is to remove just the bottom cover. It has some adhesive holding it, but it's a rubbery adhesive with a very light grip. Use a small, thin bladed screwdriver on either side of the latch...

    Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Brass fittings are usually a bright yellow/gold color. If you heat a piece of brass with a torch, then it turns a reddish color, due to the copper. The silver you see in one of the "chips" is the chrome plating. Something stuck to the heatsink during plating...

    If (big if?) the heatsink is plated brass, then there isn't any real danger from small patches of the exposed brass. Brass is usually mixed with a bit of lead for workability. The lead amount is very small and would need some form of acid to leach the lead out of the heatsink. If you are...

    I'll keep an eye open for any clearance sales, but I imagine that Ghost stuffed the distribution channels as best they could, so the distributers all paid a lot for the stock they currently have. Maybe in a year or two someone will find some crates in a warehouse and we'll see well under $100...

    The MV1 just takes time to get used to it. Try all the tips and tricks, keep at it, looking for the techniques that work for you. It took me a couple of months to get used to mine. It seems that Ghost's marketing folks would like to think of us MV1 owners like this: While the reality of MV1...

    My Stealth had the issue with the black coating peeling off the heatsink. I was very gentle with it, but started getting little black flakes after 3 months of use. The Stealth actually looks good with the standard silver heatsink, just use the black cap and the darker mouth tube. That said, the...

    What Vaporizer Should I Get?

    I picked up a Boundless CFV (version 1) on sale last summer very cheap. It works well with the dosing capsules for the Mighty. Flavor isn't as good as the Ghost, but it's very easy to travel with. I got a pair of the capsule caddies that hold 4 capsules each. Air and water tight. If I use the...
