There are multiple diffuser inserts available and it's a step up for sure from the SP globes and such because of the woodworking and accessories included. To put it bluntly, you get what you pay for in life and if you want something that functions beautifully while looking beautiful this is that!:tup: I'm waiting for Lee's Tandem release! 2 globes side by side encased by wood in a single unit!:love: Can't Wait is more appropriate!!:science:

Thanks for that mate. You've made it even harder!

May I ask you 2 questions?

- How do you go taking it apart to clean the glass and filling it without warping the wood? Is that super annoying?
- are the 2 joints 14 or 18mm? I've never paid attention to that pretty important detail on his videos, but pretty much my entire ecosystem across all my vapes is 14mm.

There are 4 points at the top where the wood has screw fasteners. The Joint on the bong is 18mm and all the inserts make it 14mm.

I have a TTB incoming, but it will take 2 more weeks, at least. After I figure it out I will be happy to answer any questions.

How'd you find their customer service?

I did end up sending them an email on Tuesday and haven't heard back. I'm usually happy to give places a week, but that's only 2 days away.

What's the deal with the current whip joint? Is it still 14mm male with an insert, as was the case on a video I watched about different diffuser stems, or is it 18mm as the site seems to indicate?

I don't like the elbow joint, I'd rather use a straight piece of glass. But I only have it in a 14mm male, so I'd need to buy a 18mm female/14mm female adapter. (This is my last question before buying one, but once again I can't get Lee to respond to emails. Lucky for him I really want it, or I would've given up my now, my experience of getting emails replied to has been woeful.)

I can only state that Lee was very responsive to me. He shipped the package lightning-fast.

What email are you sending to?

Since I've only been vaping for a month, I'm not (yet) a flavor chaser. For me, it's actually more about the cooling.

My take after getting a dozen of bongs is that if you want cooling you may just lower the temperature to get the same cooling effect. The trade off of using a bong is all the resin you leave on it, plus it needs cleaning. Since there’s no free lunch, my take is that prolonging the vapor path you get the cooling effect at the price of losing more cannabinoids on the glass that you would by merely lowering the temperature.

My table top bong vase arrived today. There's a chance I've engaged a bit too heavily in testing. (Especially when I had some work I was supposed to do.)

With the 420 sale there were 6 stems provided, and I bought the 7th that was available. I've been playing with 3 today - the testing phase to figure out my favourites might last a couple of weeks, although I've found one (the little barrel matrix) that I might never use again. I'll start playing with terp pearls at some point, but not imminently. Fingers crossed the desk organiser I've ordered fits the stems...

It's interesting to compare it to my MegaGlobe Mk 2. I've often thought the globe is kind of inefficient, in that the vapour comes down the stem, the water "sucks out" creating a weird action, and then the vapor goes out and up - it doesn't use all the water, nor does it use the whole globe capacity, and most of the bubbles are pretty small. I also find it requires some pretty hard drawing, and some pretty big lung capacity.

This is super different. Depending on the stem you're using, you've got the whole 250ml of water moving, bubbling, glugging - you can see the additional action, which is fun. It's much easier drawing, and while it was smaller than I thought it would be when I opened it, it's the perfect size for your one hit devices like the Anvil. It fills the bowl, its bubbling action is full on, and it clears in one draw.

The whip also feels better quality than the whip hose I've been using with my MegaGlobe, which I'm pretty sure I got with my Arizer EQ. I can see myself using the Globe in the future, it'll be perfectly fine when the TTB is in the dishwasher or whatever, but I don't imagine myself ever using the old whip hose again.

My only very minor complaint is that it wasn't as purple as I hoped the purple heart would be. But looking over at it now as I write this, it looks really great in the dark/unnatural light. So maybe that's only an issue in the daylight.

I've been using my TTB for about a week now - I really love it. I use it much more than I ever used my megaglobe, the tailorisation makes it a much more fun experience. Playing with 7 different stems is fun, and over the last 2 days I've started playing with the balls as well. My preference seems to just be maximum diffusion, even if it requires a harder draw. So I like the 5 arm tree, and I like the one with the diagonal slits in the bottom of them, and I've come to enjoy both of them with 2-5 balls dropped in them.

The complaints are such minor, minor things.
- cos the glass is perfectly round, it sits on kind of sticky silicone stuff. It'd be better if the bottom piece of wood was moulded so it would just sit in there. It wouldn't even need to be deep or wide to do an equivalent job to what the sticky mound is doing, it'd just need to be a little round groove.
- I wish there was an option for a magnet. It's all I want in my vape game, is magnets everywhere. I understand not everyone wants them, but I would've gone for a little 10mm diameter magnet "embedded" into the top.
- just for cleaning sake, I wish Lee included a couple of 18mm stoppers. I think that'd be such an easy addition, but one that would improve your experience. Depending on your situation with adapters and pass throughs, the stoppers might be the only thing you have to buy afterwards, which is a little annoying.

Could you talk a bit about how the TTB does for flavor? And sorry if I didn't see, but did you get the 500ml or 250ml? I really love using a whip with my Terp Hammer and currently have a Diamond Glass Shower Stacks Perc bubbler with a whip attached to the bong mouthpiece. The globe just looks more whip purpose driven, but I am a bit of a flavor chaser.

I have been hesitant to use the terp pearls. I have been concerned that they could break the stem when you drop them in. How do you protect the down stem when using terp pearls?
