Cooling stems for Splinter, Stempod, Tubo, Lil Bud, Mil

[Easywider]

Thanks it's for use with my IHeat so i think i'll order one of each size

I ordered these thinking they were shorter. They are the longer ones & won't accept basket screens. FYI

Hey guys,
Will both the xl8r and xlJr fit the splinter z v2 and the original, made by Ryan splinter?

Xl8r and xljr are 17 and 13 on rbt, cheap

Yeah they are at a good price but won’t ship to Puerto Rico, any one knows where I can get the xljr or similar and they can ship to Puerto Rico (it’s not internacional)

I bought these, they are not compatible with RBT products and do not accept basket screen. They have a longer joint with a narrow opening.

I bought a couple and filed them down to fit my Splinters and things

Verdict on quality?

I wonder how many RBT ones are still left in inventory that he sent to KGWoodworks

 

[Hippie]

Ohh sorry - meant to say, I would buy again
They're like the rbt stems with the spikes in a row so they're not as good as some of the others we've seen pictured in the thread but I'm happy with what I got for the money
I've been using the longer ones exclusively on my Zed and Life Saber Log since they arrived

the stems @Haze Mister posted compatible with the Tubo? they accept basket screen?

 

[Hippie]

I've not got a Tubo and I've filed down both of the stems I bought to fit the Splinters but I'm still gonna say they should fit the Tubo fine as I fitted a top hat basket screen and a 15mm stem gauze before I trimmed them.

Thanks alot! I'm going to get one.. you've got the longer one, right?

 

[Hippie]

Yes - I've got 2 of the long ones with 9 spikes
Didn't buy any of the smaller 3 spike versions as I've got a couple of rbt shorties already
I would buy a medium version with 5 or 6 spikes too tho, if they start doing them

I count 6 spikes on the long stem which Haze shared?
you got same product? can you double check? haha

 

[510vaporent]

The cooling stems from Biao are good quality. I ordered one short one from him and it is a little bit longer than my XLRjr stem

 

[Hippie]

Yes - I logged into dhgate to check I bought the same ones, before I posted earlier, after reading @Easywider 's experience with them.
After an exciting recount, I have one with 8 and one with 9 spikes from the same seller (which were both about 125mm long before I got the dremel out)

Thanks will get this stem

 

[Easywider]

8 and 9 spikes. Mine only has 6.

 

[Haze Mister]

Damn. So much for the 18mm/19mm "standard". How long did it take to file them down!?!?

I've not got a Tubo and I've filed down both of the stems I bought to fit the Splinters but I'm still gonna say they should fit the Tubo fine as I fitted a top hat basket screen and a 15mm stem gauze before I trimmed them.

If the basket screen would fit, then the length issue can be fixed with some teflon tape wrapped around the widest part of the taper, to make it slightly fatter...

I made a nice cooling stem for my iHeat. I use epicvape's 18mm GonG adapter for the e-nano, and quartz beads for cooling. Teflon tape was needed to stop the basket screen from touching the iHeat screen, by making the taper wider so the tube is held a mm higher..

You can buy quartz beads for cheap on ebay . I got a lifetime supply for a few quids... They are not perfect spheres but more like pebbles, but they work and are cheapo. Used in some tool sterilising machine in nail salons. I added a few beads in the tube and hold them in place with another screen at the bottom of the straight part of the tube! You only want a layer of beads at the bottom of the tube to slightly restrict the airflow- anymore than that and you lose flavor.

Only a few minutes with a diamond disc then onto the 600 and 800 grit paper to finish.

Is that disc a Dremel attachment?

 

[510vaporent]

So when you sand down these joints the baskets still fit in snug?

 

[Easywider]

Is that disc a Dremel attachment?

Yes, they look like - this

@510vaporent current joint is too snug for a basket, trimming the joint length to 19mm will allow the basket to fit in smoothly.

These work great as TinyMight WPAs
