That is what I'm thinking. Same outside, bigger screen inside.

Everything I've seen about that has said that the connection is exactly the same as their Angus vape. So I assume anything made for the Angus or at least the updated Angus should work. And I am positive if it ends up selling well, there will be 3rd party options made as well.
*Edit. I forgot to mention, that I believe it comes with a WPA stem, so you could run it through any J-hook, bong, etc. I also think I saw that they include parts that allow you to hold cooling beads in any of the different stems they include. Although I've looked at so many videos about different vapes, I may be confusing that with what they included in the Angus, or something else.

I would say that if you use the AE glass capsules and have a moderately long session (>3 min), then yes, some conduction is present as the glass slowly absorbs heat from the hot air over time. Without capsules, I would say the Angus is heavily convection biased.
Yes and no. It might get up there with performance, but TM is also loved for its beautiful build quality and materials. I think it will be great value at it's price point for lots of people.

Well the Angus beat the $300ish Mighty when it first came out. The YLL IH 1.0 had top notch performance and a temp sensitivity mode that I thought were way ahead of anyone else.
So yeah I expect the Aerolite to have top notch flavor and vapor production. On the other hand I don't expect it to last more than a year, especially v1.0 BUT YLL has been pretty good with providing updates to their initial releases. Hopefully this one finally gets v 1.0 correct.

The Mighty is based in Germany, even if it is not produced there, the costs are still higher. The TM comes from Finland, even if parts come from China, the costs are significantly higher.
To portray it as a killer just because of the price is highly absurd and shows our ambivalent world. It won't be a TM killer, as both are completely different. The Aerolite can be just as good, maybe better, but the target group of users is completely different.

The YLL site shows a couple of pictures that made me wonder:
- It doesn't really show the bowl side of the device. Do you load the herb in the bowl/in the vape itself? Isn't that a recipe for getting dust/particles inside the device? Or will there be a way to clean the airpath/under the heater?
And is the stem threaded on that ring and that ring then threaded onto the device?
Is there some hidden cooling going on inside that ring?
- anyone knows what that little insert/screen on top of the stem is?

I don't think my words were fully understood. How could it be better if it is built for a different target group? I can use a knife, I can use a damascus knife. Both cut, both do the same thing, the target group is different. I can use a Montblanc, there are many cheaper fountain pens, the target group is different. It's about what you expect, what you want.
Regardless of whether both are equally good or one is better, neither is the killer of the other and that's a good thing. Users may want to compare it with the TM, which is fine. In the end, it's either fanboy posturing or you use the device you have and what you want. Absolutisms do not exist in an ambivalent world, anyone who presents my words above as absolute should please look again for the core of the statement.
And the price tells the true? Artisian devices are overpriced in this rate, but the work which is included will never be rated by the most. A few devices are underpriced to get enough market. Maybe Yllvape prices their product in the middle, they may be worth it, they also has to work on it, the question is, why can they do it? It's more a mass product, it can produced cheaper, they are sitting at the source? It doesn't bother me.
In the end, you can't break it down to the price an tell somewhat a killer. And come on, the Aerolite can be really good, but it is ugly, i hope it gets it's job done really good. So many loved the Angus (i have one), the AE is ugly, but gets it's job done real good.

I hear you, but it isn't so easy. It's not the place to discuss this, but i know what you are trying to say to me.
Everyone wants to get paid equal to the work done, but buy as cheap as possible...

Agree. Another difference is bowl vs stem loading, which is pretty significant for many users.

If most people end up liking the Aerolite, and I get one, I'm hoping to get a stem that will also work as a bowl. In other words, an aftermarket stem like for a log vape, or Solo, etc. Since they have glass capsules for it, I don't see how a stem can't be used as basically a long glass capsule combined with the stem I pull the air in with.
That's always been my favorite part of when I used the Solo. Super easy clean up. Otherwise I will probably just use the glass capsule.
I don't know for a fact, but based on the years it's been out, and the popularity of it, I assume that the Mighty from S&B is probably one of the best selling vapes over all that time, and loading directly into a built in bowl hasn't stopped it from being popular. Also, the pax, davinci, etc. For the general public, I think a built in bowl like that is more of the norm. Even Dynavap and all those styles have a built in bowl. And of course the Angus and AE have the same bowl. As far as portables go, I think more than 80% have you load into a built in bowl.
Though, again, I prefer the bowl built into a glass stem. It doesn't seem like that is a requirement by most users.

Assuming the stem, bowl and lid are the same as the AE, there's a mm or so of difference between the id of the bowl and the od of the stem. Then there's the id of the vapor pass in the lid, which is about a mm smaller than the od of the stem and metal. I'd guess that with a bit of diy one could open things up enough for a stemloaded oven.
Aerolite has been delayed due to some issues with production and the heater not being up to par.
Edit/update: Mike from Yllvape might be sending me a free unit. I'll keep everyone posted
update 2: for further clarification
