Not many people have a Lily yet and there have been several reports of cracked flame periscopes. Just going by the evidence.
My bet is this part if left as glass it will be an on going problem. I hope not I bought one too. I wish them luck of course.
You're a braver man than I am. Once the crack developed, it was placed back in its tin. I know a replacement part is on the way; but I, too, am concerned about this occurring again. Portability isn't an issue. If I had it to do over again, I'd probably get the Daisy. I liked the idea of pointing the flame sideways instead of having to point down the vertical tube on the Daisy. While waiting for my replacement glass piece and my replacement MFLB, I'm glad I have other toys to play with.I don't care, I just fired up Lily again. What crack? Crack is whack.
hey dude! not seen you in a long time! the daisy is one hell of a vape! nice to see you are also interested in this one! me too!Dang it. I didn't think i would have my eye on another new vape so Soon. I will have to look into this one.
Why has it not been a problem with Daisy? Probably just a couple bad pieces. Imo

My guess is the flaw is created when you do the cut. The flame polish helps "seal" this but on a SMALL % of pieces the heat of the torch during use will exacerbate this and cause a visible crack to show. Its a simple idea really, not sure why there is so much resistance to it.I was wondering if those couple of pieces happen to have been cut at a different temperature or perhaps cooled as a different or even temperature that would cause the crack.
I would believe this if all, or even a lot of, the pieces were cracking, but chances are they aren't.The flare is too flat and too thin to handle the thermal punishment from the torch.
This might fix the problem but I still disagree with your premise that this is happening a lot and exclusively due to heat fatigue from the torch. There is simply no way you can "know" this without proprietary information from Triihouse.You need more mass at the flare. A thick rounded flare of glass rather than a flat thin flare.

I think with this vape the answer is somewhere in the middle with you two. What t-dub is saying is right on the money and I have said that many times myself on this forum. But steama is correct that this vape was just released and they haven't had the time to produce many of them. In addition, most of their market at the moment is on this forum. I can't think they have more than 20 to 50 units out there. If two have been reported broken I would guess that's anywhere between a 4% and 10% failure rate. That entire range is higher than acceptable.
But all of that is typed with the understanding that I have no real numbers in my hand!
Maybe stow them in the periscope
compartment.
In my Lily the glass periscope is very loose in the round stow hole compartment and just falls right out. It seems strange to me that this hole does not hold the periscope tightly enough to keep it from falling out? Seems like a mistake or maybe it's just my unit? Anyway, I ended up using a piece of paper towel around the periscope base and then insert it in the stow hole and it is nice and tight. It is kind of ghetto looking but at least it works.
Anyone else have one like mine?
I thought that was one of the changes that was made that delayed initial deliveries. I remember reading that that space was made larger.
Both the Lily and the Daisy give me a Dr. Seuss feeling to their design. Big fan of Dr. Seuss and Triihouse vapes. In fact not many things go as well with a Dr. Seuss book as a Lily session before and after.
Wow, that is so fucking clever! Thanks for the great idea. I can see the glass Lily petals falling back onto the flame periscope in my minds eye. Man, that would look so sweet. Wait! What about the Daisy — too cool.
I was lovin' the lily with the SS stem, Just received my glass stem and it feels even better(performs the same) so much nicer on my lips then the steel one.
I got a set of extra o-rings with the stem, i did sorta what your suggesting right away, put the 2 extras On the periscope + 2 extras stowed On the mouthpiece, that way I know where they are at all times.
...
Edit; I did fold one of the little ziplock bags with screens and shoved it into the top of periscope compartment and it stays put and Lily still closes tight, seems It will hold 'em and o-rings with no problem. We'll see if they become a problem and fall out while opening to stir but for now they seem snug. Great idea @basement farmer.
