With a PVHES stem if I want more air you can get that through your draw by just pulling faster — you really can't do that with a stock stem.
A PVHES stem gives the user options in your draw that the stock stem cannot match.
I love accessories as well. More options to keep more people happy.... Or more options to keep me happy LOL
UPDATE: Air is still functioning properly after a few sessions. Happy camper again.
wish I could, I don't have the tools to do it myself, and if I did, wouldn't know what I would be doingYou can make your own. Arizer will probably never have PVHES mouthpiece stems — too costly would be my guess. I modded all my Air mouthpiece stems to be PVHES. It's easy peasy to do and will save you some bucks over buying them.
Good point, lots of options is a good thing generally. However, it can also feed that 'grass is greener for them' envy which is not a good thing.
Glad your Air is humming along making vapor.......that's why you bought it, right?

3 draws? I get tons of draws. I start at blue and go up when I get wispy hits. I also pack the stemThe dome screens make my bowl tiny, is that the same as everyone else? It is still good for maybe 3 draws.

Thanks brother.
And yea your right, the regular 60mm stems with tips work absolutely fine for me. Hell i didnt even think about draw resistance until i was reading this thread HAHA... But hey, if i can make a great thing even better im all for it. Where does it end? Only my wallet hopes it does.

I also use the dome screens, but put them in backward compared to @OF. They make a cup that takes up little of the bowl, simply holds the herb away from the air holes.
They work great!
Its worth ordering a 5 pack of those dome screens to try out. Even if you dont feel anything, I bet you will get a smoother hit with the screen vs withoutAre yall using these screens in the regular factory 60mm stems? Or is this for those turbo stems with a huge hole?
Trying to figure out if i need to order them dome ones too... However i have no issues with stuff going in my mouth. I use a space case grinder and i always thought it ground stuff a little finer than id prefer... But stuff still doesnt come through to my mouth that i notice. A little occasionally makes its way in the stem though but thats no biggie to me.
I do have the turbo on the way, but i also ordered 2 packs of the solo medium mesh screens for that... Or are the domes the better choice?
P.S. Im NOT a fan of space case grinders. Just wanna throw that out there. I own one but have never been happy with it. I gifted my "good" one to a friend (that cost half the price of the space case at a bodega) before the space case arrived. I just figured it would be much better due to the price. WRONG. Metal shavings in my herb, gets jammed up, doesnt collect kief well... Just overpriced for what you get. I know im in the minority there though, most seem to love their space case... Maybe i got a lemon or something.

60 and 70mm stems with the plastic tip. Of course I dont see why it wouldnt work in other stems as wellIn which stems though?
In the arizer 60 and 70mm stems, its very hard to put a flat screen in. These dome screens are thick and also provide more grab. I think thats the primary reason for using it for most people, for a screen. Doming part probably depends on the person. I notice bowls extract more evenly with the dome. Air seems to be alittle less through in extraction compared to solo. Normally the bottom half does not extract as darkly as the top layer. With the dome there is no bottom layer.Perhaps this is a dumb question, but is there a difference between using a round screen vs a flat screen?
Also are the screens really necessary for smaller bowls? For my solo I have always just packed the stems half way and that seems to work fine. Is this not the case with the Air?
I wonder if they will make a pvhes turbo stem with the mouthpiece? Or will the mouthpiece just screw up the airflow that much?
