@coolbreeze I agree, the Mini Funnel Nelson is easier than the big Funnel. I tend to hit the big Funnel glass with the torch first to give it a little preheat. I find a lot of the heat from the first hit gets obsorbed I to the glass.
@feralcomprehension that's a damn good question. I'm all over the place and I'm terrible at promoting them in a way that explains the differences. It's the same with the Vapcap MPs.
First let me say that I consider myself an artist first, functional product maker second. This comes into play with a lot that I make.
Anecdotaly, I find the 2 piece cooling stem cooler than the regular cooling stem. I can't explain why. Is it significantly cooler? I honestly can't answer that question. I can say that all the cooling stems cool the vapor using the same method. I think it comes down to what you like, what speaks to you.
As far as the vapes go, other than the SmokeStack (pure convection) and the Nameless Conduction Vape, all the vapes are hybrids. The hybrids can be broken down into 2 groups. In one group is the Terpedo, Terpcicle, and the Glass Cap. These have a single heater that does both the convection and conduction and therefore you can't really microtune them. The difference between Terpedo and Terpcicle is the Terpedo is the simple version that you can easily throw on a pipe or cooling stem where the Terpcicle is a lot easier on the WP. The Glass Cap vs the Quartz Cap comes down to preference. I think the quartz probably has more even heating but the quartz heaters are made by a scientific glass Co while I make the glass heaters myself. I actually think the glass has better flavor but my go to setup has been an 18mm with quartz heater. It rips twax bowls so well. In the other group would be the V-Sticks. These have separate heaters for convection and conduction heat so you can fine tune to your preference.
In the end, they are all similar but have their own unique style and signature.
I never got great performance using the narrow ended whips with direct draw. The one i sell for DD is much bigger like an SB intake. The Mini Funnel is SD with the 18mm fitting because there are so few 14mm bowl options.
I hope that helps clear things up. Always happy ro answer questions
