This. Also high temp close to combustion cloggs things faster. ( more heavy stuff flying).Based on personal use and gunk pattern from it I would imagine it's directly related to the volume of product you feed through it and how fast you gunk up will be more a reflection of that than anything else
A longer stem with a carb cap might have a spiral that gets dirty more slowly but only because there's more space for gunk to build up in the longer stem.
I like the metal stem I got 2 days ago I feel it gives a more powerful/ steady feel in hand and helps a bit with the long convection draws being longer. Shorty performance is close though and metal feels hotter to the hand especially after consecutive longer wand heating.
I don't like the carb though I only use it pulling my finger when I heated more than wanted/ too toasty when still fresh, to mix some fresh air.
Glass one has the best taste but already a dent on mine.
