I got the ALP SE yesterday as well! It's definitely pretty. Loving the colors. In different light that brass really stands out.
I did a couple of burn off sessions and tried it out about an hour or so ago. Working excellently as it should!
Seems like there's more of that off gassing smell but nothing too bad.
Everyone is talking about the doors on their ALP's. Idk if it's because it's new but the door feels more solid and sturdy.
My first ALP's door feels almost wobbly and I do have a more noticeable gap where the chamber sits.

I'm happy to see some discussion on both vapes. I have the Pro and loving it but always trying someynrw and different. I received the TM2 last week, but was a defective unit, so going back. I prefer micro dosing, but found I use session mode for appx 3- hitsband then just turn it off. I was hoping the TM2 could compete with my Omni Dynavap?

Exactly what I was hoping, I actually have been using my dosing capsules in the avlp, I was one of the lucky ones that all six are fine (not as easy as they should be, but much easier then cleaning using just the lid of the dosing cap). Since you have both, do you recommend dosing caps for the TM2 or just straight?
oh dear oh dear!
ur truly missing an experience not using either in session paired with a bubbler oh gollygosh you are sooo missing out!

I am thinking a rimmed basket screen for the Milaana/Splinter stems, would fit perfectly in the Legacy Pro chamber, and be the perfect height for it. The lid closes on top of it and holds it in place as long as the wheel is adjusted to perfectly accommodate it. Can anyone confirm?
At the moment, I own a Milaana basket screen but not a Legacy Pro. If I buy a Pro I would try to make this work before buying Airvape dosing capsules. I'm always trying to be re$ourceful with my vape gear.
So if anyone has tried / is willing to try this, your feedback would be super appreciated.

I took a few 1/2" stainless mesh screen bowls and covered them with a 16mm screen and it worked incredibly well. The vapor production and flavor was highly improved over the standard capsules. Of course there's no actual lid but I did take a pair of snips and cut down 2 sides of the mesh filter...

I'm using the same kind of screen bowls for about a month and it's really working. Removed the disc from the avlp, and put a 16mm (Mighty+) screen on top of the bowl. After 1-2 sessions, the screen sticks to the top screw, where the disc was (until i clean everything again). So its not as portable as dedicated capsules, but it's really keeping the chamber clean, speeds up the process of getting a fresh bowl and helps with microdosing - using around ~0.05g for 1-2 short on demand sessions.
To have some sort of lid for the bowls, i just use another one and put it on top of the loaded one.

I've been using the dosing caps pretty thoroughly since they were released. So far, I do like them, but my opinion on the fine threading remains negative. Now that I've been using them for a while the threads are getting even more finicky. Once some resin gets into the threads they become harder to unscrew after a bowl since it really seems to lock up the fine threads, using the pick tool can still open it, but it's definitely not as smooth without cleaning every couple days. I only screw the caps on a little bit to avoid them seizing up completely.
I find myself using them mainly due to the convenience factor of just throwing a cap in without any mess, but I really wish that the caps weren't recessed like they are so that they could hold some more weed. There is no reason the caps should be recessed so much they can accommodate the microdosing disk fully extended. The caps should be taller, and the microdosing disk should be required to be removed or at the very least it should need to be fully screwed in.
Other than the threading and the recessed caps, I find them pretty good. Their airflow and flavor is great. I am concerned about their long term durability because of the threads though. They're already getting a bit harder to line up, I'm assuming since it's so easy to cross thread that some damage has been done. I doubt they will survive a full year of use, which is rather disappointing.
Overall I think they would have been a good prototype, but they shouldn't have been released as is. I hope that AirVape will create a revision and provide a deep discount to the first generation owners, because that is the only way I will buy more dosing caps when these eventually fail.

Or, with the lid of an S&B capsule

Airvape's website I think is the only option?
VGoodiEz has it too.

they actually improved it a little since. the door on my replacement unit (from the latest batch presumably) swings and closes tighter than my previous 2 units.

clean/wash the entire airpath as well as possible, run some max temp burn-offs (session mode), let the device air for a couple of days. had the same experience with my regular AVLP and V3PRO, hot plastic aroma went away after a couple of bowls.
I cleaned the entire airpath with 91% iso. I removed the mouthpiece gasket and let the mouthpiece soak for 20 or so mins. I'll probably try and air it out a few days as painful as that sounds because of how bad I want to try it

Ok...i had no strong, or long lasting smell with my alp. But i had for sure with my v3pro, that never really went away. I gave the unit away now...
But i just received my steampunk. Was just 8€ taxes to germany...wow.
So its still in the parcel. I unpack it and tell if there is robot fart...
Edit.
I opened it.
I mean yes it s smelling like an Electronic device. Not too strong though. I cleaned nothing till now. When sniffing at the Batterie chamber its smelly stronger. When hitting the cold vape its has just a little plastic taste. Not too strong i find.
Will check after cleaning....
