Been one of those long days and I'm just about to hit the bed!

How many vaps could a Vapman vapā¦
This has aged wellGood to see the upbeat and positive vibe is still alive here on FC!.... and hope I can bring the same positive energy to the new forum 9n herbaltherm.com
If you read Shitsnacks cut and past.... its a beta unit and access to an exclusive private IG, videos and being part of the product design process to optimize the beta and then recieve the final product with a gift package.... the balls is just a starting point and a helical path glass is the real design. The idea is that a couple of standard sized shell will make way to many cool designs for the internals.
Yes, $350 for 2 units at $150 and a change to do something real rather than just criticize on FC.... so my plan to keep the negative freeloaders away with charging for beta seems to work
Special thanks to the 4 folks who already grabbed a seat in the first 24 hours.... only 5 seats left so doesn't appear there will be a problem getting the rest sold .... at $350

Yep:
3TM
Orders made Monday to Sunday will be shipped the following Monday. The 3TM uses Thermal Mass cooling technology. The cap and shell are made from surgical grade SS and are machined to perfection. Screens are provided to keep the balls in the unit and allow for the balls to be cleaned in-place...

@Custom Flower Hardware Any way you can test this stem with the Anvil using the USA adapter (if you have one)? I would think it would be compatible? Curious to hear if this is a legit cooling solution for that vape. I sold my Dynavaps off already.
How does this compare to other cooling stems on the market? Is it just filled with glass beads? Seems like itād be a PITA to clean if thatās the case.

I don't have the USA adapter. The fusion doesn't fit. It works well with dyna, but of course all the balls get sticky. Feels like your holding a stuffy blunt from back in the day!

How is the vapor? compared to your other stems at least, is it game changing?
The vapor is nice. It's cools it fast because of the volume of balls. It's just that I cracked her open and they are sticky balls so how long can we go between cleaning? Taste is great because of the glass. It's definitely a new twist for sure.

I like the principle behind the 3TM ,make sense to me regarding his take on heat transfer, it is the stem that's get cooled by the fresh air coming from the carb, Thanks for sharing Bud

Since mistvape imp I was using for a little while glass beads to fill solo stem to cool vapor. it is effective but cleaning is very annoying

Indeed, I copied the basic design laid out in the link below, works great!
Behold... The Canadian Winter
I showed this thing in the Hopper IO thread and it got some reactions so I thought why not make my very first thread in the forum about it. I call this The Canadian Winter š„¶ and it's very effective at cooling the vapor without muting the flavor. As you can see it's nothing revolutionary, glass...

I use rubyās sandwiched between two screens in my underdog alpha stems. They help cool and reduce breathing in particles. Imo dropping balls into a mug of rubbing alcohol isnāt a hard task as far as cleaning goes..
This stem looks very capable.
Letās see a woodscents hit

There are alternative filling options - a contest winner got a dimpled glass insert, as well as an in-progress design for a hunk of metal with a hollow spiral in, both solid single piece inserts.
ETA the 8mm diameter insert hole in the top cap will accommodate the Anvil via USA, and any adapter intended for a dyna size stem. I've requested an alternate 9mm top cap.

As expected, these hits are cool, almost cold when using it for the first time in the day. It's easy to take a massive hit with this little guy.
It's heavier than I anticipated, feels nice in the hand and pocketable, if you can figure out a case/cover. I'm not sure I want the dynavap tip exposed in my pocket. It kind of looks like a little compressed air tank, sure to get some questions in public.
This is the screen after 2 hits, you can see the resin start to accumulate on the center and sides of the screen. I plan on soaking the balls, screens and main chamber in iso, and have started using a cotton swab between every few hits for upkeep. I don't anticipate the cleaning to be too much of a chore.

Sorry to ask @unlessFudlic , your contribution to FC being 99% on threads of this one ābrandā, the one you got to visit the shop and spend hours talking about fine German glass with manufacturer, are you affiliated with old RBT circus in any way? Have you some kind of interest in RBT selling his stuff?

Old & In the Way
I recently won a 3TM, had no idea what it was, and I don't even have a dynavap.
BUT
I have managed to adapt it very easily (via silicon, i.e. Grasshopper silicone mouthpiece or even a flexicone from a MiniVap) for use with some vapes I do have.
I'm really loving it paired with a Tafee Bowle, for example. Also with a Terp Pen XL, and also the MiniVap.
I was unaware of any drama surrounding the 3TM, or until recently, really any of Ryan's business since the Splinter V2 and the wind-down of RBT. But, discloser, I am on the ride for the 2ZM...
I must say, this 3TM is a terrific cooling stem. I can compare it as at least equal or better than a u-hook I recently got from GVB (dimpled,) with beads. It is much more compact, portable, etc, while less fragile.
This 3TM came with balls inside, plus an alternate glass insert. They seem to work equally well. I have added a SS driptip I had on hand.

Pretty nice combo with the Tempest, cool hits, back-to-back hits are not a problem (but adjust for time in wand on subsequent hits to avoid combustion). The wider base of the Tempest head also allows for this stem to balance better vertically than with a dynavap head.

Was able to grab one of the inserts, which I've been hoping to see pop up again since hearing about them. While the ritual for cleaning balls isn't terrible, I'd still rather not deal with 100 sticky balls. Here it is next to the stem.
How deep it sits.
My first impressions after using it with the Tempest. It's effective at cooling, but requires different technique than the balls, you absolutely need more finesse because it will get hotter to your lips easier if you aren't careful. That should be expected.
After 1 full cycle on the wand at 555F, I hold the carb and start pulling slowly, I may flutter the carb to cool slightly, but the goal is to get the hot air over the material. By the second hit, I'm full on ripping it, and hardly using the carb, just quick flutters, this gives it a great cooling effect, but also gives you a massive hit with the Tempest head airflow also set to open. I can get 2-3 more large hits off a full bowl, one heat cycle.
The unrestricted airflow gets that vapor deep into your lungs (you get real high).

An update on the insert; I let it get about 60 sessions worth of dirty. I could still have sessions with it, but if I pull too hard, now I'm in coughing, so I've decided to clean it. I already know what is involved with the ultrasonic cleaner, which is mostly passive work, so I tried with only hot water and paper towels. It took about 10 minutes said and done to clean it, I should have taken a photo.
My ritual
1. Go to the kitchen sink, get a few paper towels, lay one out for placing parts on, start running hot water
2. Disassemble the vape, wipe down all surface resin with a paper towel, including the 2 screens
3. Run hot water through stem parts for a little bit, then remove from water, and twist paper towels into a "dowel" and keep twisting to push through the stem parts
4. For the insert, I was able to keep it in place in the sink and just run hot water over it for a few minutes, flip it, and repeat
5. Rinse every, let it air dry for a minute, reassemble
Wasn't bad as far as active works goes. Good way to save some isopropyl if I'm not washing more pieces.

Hey, it's me again. Got this tip from Wesley Pipes and More that fits the 3TM and enables hands-free vaping. Highly recommend the tip.
