I now have a new stem with the new screens too, one a shallower cap. Still testing but it does work well, instead of stirring you can remove the stem and puff into it to fluff the load and mix a bit. However I do notice a stronger metallic taste having another screen, and while it makes it easier to avoid scorch it can be trickier to fully extract to my satisfaction. Plus loading and unloading becomes more tedious, though I do like how it is a secure capsule. Also the new screens are fantastic btw
@mistvaporizer, will need to get more some day, maybe when I can get a new updated unit once you're all caught up...
I also have a long stem and it is great for cooler hits, but the feedback isn't direct like it is with a short stem so also takes some getting used to. I still need to get back trying hemp fiber filters for optimal vapor cooling with these style of glass stem vapes. I have a prototype GonG too, but that also takes a different technique it seems... the more finalized units could be a bit more capable than mine though
Oh and I know I still owe photos of these, not to mention my wood stems from
@Alan came last week and are stunning. This is his photo which probably shows them off better than mine would, though need to see in person of course:
The one on the right is a Milaana stem in canarywood, the left is dark walnut for Mi and/or MVT, while the middle is a 14-14mm tulipwood stem with a glass insert. Haven't gotten to try any of these in my Touch just yet (again can't wait to try them in a new one too!) not to mention the silicone reverse method (Alan threw some in for me to try, along with more of his screens for dual stacking) and more I'm sure. So I'll be back again once I have, with more photos I hope. We also tried a cork cap with needle for onboard stirring tool and bowl protection, but it didn't work too well for my unit at least, we'll see in the future because its actually pretty neat.
(A buddy also 3D printed an awesome battery case for me that has a top sliding lid, with the glass herb vial and a stem it turns I to a perfect dugout actually! So need to share that too)
