Hmm...I've got 2 Shadow Ms set up as XL with spinning mps. One with a wood mp has the Shadow SS tip and the other has Ti mp and tip. I only set up the Ti tip one yesterday so maybe I don't have enough experience with it yet but so far I'm not seeing a huge difference between the tips. They both seem to heat up quickly with my triple torch, airflow seems similar. Perhaps I'll find more differences as I use them more. I look forward to finding out.
Can you expand on why you feel the “Ti tip, hands down” is better? What should I be looking for that makes it so much better? Thanks!
after being a vapcap noob, i ordered an M and an omniXL.
I also ordered a standard XL condenser and spinning Ti MP..
I have to say after weeks of testing different configs the hands down winner for me is XL Ti spinner MP.
Ti vs SS tip? - Ti tip hands down, very easy choice.
omni MP/condenser? - ok, probably more fiddly than needs to be for the benefit of the airflow change, but its not bad once you get it ot where you like it.
spinning mp: - winner. seems like a gimmick, but gripping the XL body with the spinning MP falling just in the bends of your fingers makes spinning the vapcap while heating so much more stable and comfortable. and really just tweaking the carb hole is fine. I actually found I like to pull with more air wide open which was counter intuitive to what I thought.
the body is just what you like looks wise as far as I can tell. so actually @-dab8- suggested the configuration I had went and figured out the hard way myself by buying all the diff configs to try for myself.
and as @mrb mentioned...Ti-Tip-4-lyfe gang... I read the same things about people using the SS tip and preferring that, but now after having some experience and reading around some more it seems those people are in the minority or they have the M because it's cheaper and works ok and just evangelize that version. but I can't see how anyone can use them side by side or one after the other and conclude SS tip is better. its ok, but i bought both and was already thinking, dang i need another Ti tip so I can not have to use this SS tip ever again and have another useable ti tip configuration.
so @-dab8- and @mrb are not steering you wrong above. their advice is wise.
but is it CIVILIZED 4U?
