This may be super dumb, but!
Love that stem! Where did you acquire that mouthpiece?
Howdy, I posted over in the ZionM if you wanna check that out butttt...
Awesome, thank you for the detailed response. I’ll peep your other post as well.
Gonna be one of these kinda days I can tell already.

Hmmm, I wonder if that fancy pattern makes it cool the vapor better than the xl8r's? It looks more intricate than the xl8r spikes...He is now offering short clear vigreux stems along with the standard length...
I have several phineas stems and xl8rs and the phineas stems definitely provide more cooling than the xl8rs, but thats not entirely a good thing. Its definitely easier to get a better hit without a lot of practice on an xl8r than the phineas stems, because with the extra cooling its difficult to use heat as an indicator of hit-size. I like them both a lot, and love the colors on the phineas stems, but I usually end up reaching for an xl8r. For this reason Im actually really interested in trying one of Phineas' shorty stems, I hope it solves that problem.
I agree with this 100%. My Phineas stem is great, super high quality, but almost provides too much cooling for my taste - I too use the heat to regulate my hit. I am also interested in his shorty stems.
Yup, Unklmark on IG is fastest I got my Milaana II fixed and returned to me in Hawaii in about 6 days from me shipping to getting it back. Great work, and great guy to deal with.
Thanks, I'll follow up with him.
This looks like the glass to me, but I can't actually feel any cracks.
I can relate. I felt that way about the long xl8r stem. There is something about warm (but NOT hot) vapor that is more satisfying to me than cool vapor. The factory Milaana short stem is harsh and hot. My short xl8r is lovely but warm. The long xl8r produces cool vapor that makes me feel a bit disconnected from the Milaana. So that short vigreux stem may just hit the sweet spot. Call it the goldilocks effect....not too hot, not too cool, just right.
I just had a few bowls in my Mutant with a nub stem and my throats a little dry right now and found it difficult to finish a bowl. Using my Phineas now in the p80zm and it's perfecto. So the extra cooling is useful sometimes and not an issue for me with regulated, but yea in general looking for that goldilocks vapor temp
I’ve also found the warmer vapor makes it slightly easier to tell when to let off the button.I just had a few bowls in my Mutant with a nub stem and my throats a little dry right now and found it difficult to finish a bowl.

Mine does not get warm.
Mine gets warm, I wouldnt worry too much about it.
that is top tier congrats
I'm having the same issue as you. The button started going warm and now it doesn't work. I'm gonna open it up and see what I can do. Does anyone here know if KGWoodcrafts is still doing repair work?
UnklMark, I believe his info is posted above somewhere.
