I am still waiting for my Choo order...this is from Z Stems that arrived today.
Dealing with Z Stems was a GREAT experience...the drop was great, the products are ALL gorgeous and the owner / artist was a really super nice person. It was a great experience and the mouth piece is Purple Heart and just beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous stem, love it! Have you tried it yet? How's the airflow? I'm not the biggest fan of wooden mouthpieces (they tend to stick to my lips a bit), but the Z-Stems are truly works of art and since the glass is from GVB, I'm really tempted to pull the trigger one day.

It is awesome...I just wish that my order from Choo had come in before this...I want my cable cord. But, still waiting and now we have a tropical storm happening...so, good luck for me getting it this week.
Anyway, the Z STEM is gorgeous and the glass inside is superb...I did not realize that Good Vibes created it...Michael is extraordinary. I do not taste any difference...I used it yesterday. I still do not have a hang of it. The machine is difficult to understand for me, and I am just now trying to figure things out. I did not even know how to turn it on. My son has been helping me. I am a patient and some days I cannot function properly.
So, for me the vape has to be very easy to operate and clean...when I see the new Davinci and all those PARTS...I could not handle that. I need vapes like the Bowle. Easy. The Volcano. Easy. So...I am hoping that Bakx will be something I can do on my own. I think so...
PS The airflow is open and superb.

He did and yes, he's an awesome guy.
I hope you will. The only thing that CAN be complicated is the mod - IF you start to play around with its settings. But that's not needed at all and actually you can just press the fire button, wait for the heat to build up and you're good to go.
Sounds great, thank you!

Hi folks, I own a few funkyjunky devices (an older tubo and also the 510 cables version), have never had the pleasure of owning the tetra products or this one here. But as my current RBT lineup is out of commission I have been curious to other options.
I have been looking around in this thread and I see where people have been kind enough to post when drops are scheduled to occur, but I actually haven’t figure out where to find that information for myself. Can someone tell me how to keep my finger on the pulse better?
I believe that I remember there is also a vendor that sells occasionally but I can’t remember what page I had been reading about them on. Can someone clarify where I can look them up or if it is an option to shipping to the U.S. or strictly for Europe?
I will continue to work my way backwards through the thread a bit, I just would like to try and figure out how to get my hands on one, as my miss using the FJ products and my tubo products need a little tlc.

Huh...I thought the stem was a zasquatch design and GVB made the glass for it with zasquqtch specs.

Here is the glass that arrived from Good Vibes...Michael. I love these pieces. The white one....glows awesome. The Z Stem I showed you already but, here is another photo. The rocket on the glass is by Eric Duyette who is an awesome artist. I love supporting these fellows...great glass.

Hello everyone, I must say I was a bit disappointed with the delivery of my cord and glass mouth piece...the mailing envelope was crunched and open at the end. It was disastrous looking. We just tried the cord and it does not seem to be working...
There was no padding inside to protect the mouth piece. The bag was open so, perhaps that is why it was almost a month or so to get to my house...also, perhaps Lamart did not pack it like that, and it got all fucked up at customs...?
I pretty much do not care about that...it's just - it does not work. I keep my temp at 365 to 385...do I have to crank it up or something? I really don't know how to work this thing...I thought I just would connect the cord on each end and there you go...but, that is not my case.

I don't think that has to do with the amount of time, but yeah that sucks, sometimes the packing is not sufficient, but always should be... I've had broken glass before too
Regarding the cord, I have never tried mine still, but you will have to adjust your resistance to account for the cord... Sorry I don't know the instructions offhand
Dr. G
***Old Resident*** Vapman Collector
Thank you and I wish I knew what resistance was....LOL I really do not know how to work my mod...at all. I know how to scroll up and down and adjust the temp. As far as the wats...it goes from 7w to 70w....do not know what the hell that is...so, NEWBIE here again. When I press the button to fire...it stays at firing,
I really only know 5 clicks on...5 clicks off. HAHAHAHA.

ooph sorry to hear about your package Dr. G.. this really isn't an easy vape if your not familiar with mods or this style vape.. but you can learn the details if you spend some time.. it works when directly screwed on the mod without the cable, yeah? you said you like 365-385.. if it detects with the cable and no atomizer not found errors (starts showing temp rising when activated) a cheat could be to just crank it to 400-410 or even higher with the cable.. you would have to raise the cold resistance with the cable connected to get close to what you got at 365-385 directly connected.. resistance goes up a little with the cable.. and you wud have to set resistance back to what it is now when screwing it directly on the mod if you change it.. can do it thru the menus on the mod.. it's all in the instructions on his site i think ..(kinda lol). just remember to write down what your working cold resistance was so you can always go back to it. dial it in manually.
i know manual may not help much.. you have the dna mod yeah? do you have the escribe software installed and ever hooked it to your pc (assuming no)? you could backup current mod settings and send the new settings to the mod (cold resistance etc).. if you decide to venture down the rabbit hole

Oof Sorry I didn't know you hadn't even used BAK yet and was just waiting for the cable? Yeah there is a bit to set up... Using with wattage resistance wouldn't matter but I wouldn't recommend it anyway, g'luck!

I also initially used the BAKx directly on the mod and only switched to the cable later. Here's how I did it:
- First, I measured the resistance of the BAKx when it was directly screwed onto the mod.
- To do this, I first screwed the BAKx directly onto the mod (without a cable).
- Then, I checked the resistance on the mod as follows (both the BAKx and the mod should be at normal room temperature):
- Go to "Settings", then "Atomizer", then select and click on "Check".
- For me, for example, a resistance of 0.215 ohms will be displayed (what exactly is displayed for you is not so important - this varies from device to device).
- Now note down this resistance, this is your base resistance.
- If you now press the fire button on the mod, the BAKx should heat up, but probably relatively slowly.
- You can now manually increase this resistance, which will then cause the BAKx to heat up with more power and thus faster.
- For example, I increased my resistance from 0.215 to 0.222 ohms (without a cable, BAKx directly on the mod), but this value can also vary from device to device. So you can play around with the resistance a bit until you are satisfied with how the BAKx heats up when it is directly on the mod.
- Let's say you set your resistance to 0.220 ohms (without a cable), because with that your BAKx heats up within a reasonable time (for example, 45 seconds).
- Now you take your cable and screw the mod on one side and the BAKx on the other.
- At room temperature, you now measure the resistance again (Settings -> Atomizer -> Check). You will see that the resistance is now much higher due to the cable you have attached (probably around 0.020 Ohms more).
- However, you now know your base resistance (BAKx directly on the mod), for example, 0.215 ohms, and by how much ohms you want to increase the resistance to have enough power (for example, 0.005 ohms from 0.215 ohms to 0.220 ohms).
- With the cable, your base resistance is now perhaps 0.240 ohms. If you now increase it by 0.005 ohms to 0.245 ohms, you should be able to achieve approximately the same behavior as if the BAKx were directly on the mod.
- You only have to do all this once and it sounds much more complicated than it is.
In short: Play around with the resistance a bit. There are no one-size-fits-all settings because every device is slightly different. Once your resistance is set, you only need to change the temperature as you do with most vapes. Resistance and wattage settings don't need to be changed again once they are set.
For me, the following settings work well with the cable: 0.245 ohms, 74 watts (or 70 watts in your case, that's fine), 190 degrees Celsius, 50 seconds heating time. All this with the Lamart profile for DNA mods (available on the Lamart website). As said, every BAKx will differ but maybe you could use these settings as a starting point.
EDIT: Also, it's important to note that the BAKx isn't like a Tinymight 2 where you can take a hit after just a few seconds and get instant vapor. The BAKx initially takes significantly longer to heat up (depending on your settings, I'd expect at least 40 seconds). However, you can feel the BAKx warming up.

is this thing on?
You can also hear the moment when it is ready when the trichome heads are popping in the stem. Someone called it the terpene choir
I like to wait 90 seconds, then clear a nug in one hit and done.

First of all, I cannot believe you took your time to answer me so extensively...I am so shocked and so very thankful. When my son comes home I will have him look at your post and then, we will do all of that. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just want to say that I have used my Bakx attached directly to the mod and it makes CLOUDS...but, now I know that it needs to be set up to be used with a cord. What I love about my Bakx now is that I can use it on my water bong really easily. When the cord was attached it just was not that easy for me...it kept turning, etc. a bit of a nuisance.
Anyway, THANK YOU again...what a very nice person you are.

Oh I’m glad to hear that! Then it will be no problem to adjust the mod for the cord. In this case i really think all you need to do is just to increase the resistance and you’re good to go.
It’s a pleasure to use it with a water piece!
Oh and you very much for your kind reply. Actually made my day.

It is always shared here too by someone although I do wish Ralph would come back to post more again! Email too of course
I was under the impression no more emails because he cancelled the service but I agree someone will post it over here before it happens. Discord also ain’t as bad as it seems
