It's maple and it was a fantastic choice! I didn't even notice it matched the futurist haha.

Taste is much improved and the slightly annoying little blasts of heat at times are good to git rid of. Truly amazing. I thought I had the flavor potential maxed already but this is exctiing.
Awesome!! I've been using the stem since day one!!
JDSupreme said:how on earth do you people keep craking stems?!?!? I guess im just careful??
I lose them not break them. Blisssville will charge you like a buck or 2 shipping if you order stems only (I bought 5 a few months back and have 4 left) as long as you mention something in the comments section of your order. All said and done it was like $4 or $5 for 5 stems i think.
I still want a blown colored glass stem for home may have to have that custom made

Mine has never come close to breaking. But im super careful with my LB. I have the original plus 2 minis and 5 long back ups

I was very careful with putting it in but it was very tight from the beginning and didn't last long.
Any recommendations for alternative stems (more durable ones)? Could it be a warranty issue? Nahhhh.....
Also another question: How do you control the temp with a medium or longer stem or whip??? I always tend to bake my stuff at higher temperatures when using them and end up with a lot of black ABV and harsh taste. I can't tell how hot it is because for me when vapor comes to the end of the tube it's always rather cold while the trench blackens my stuff.

sounds like you are combusting...but you say you cant feel if its hot or not? mhmm thats odd, make sure you arnt grinding too fine you dont want it to be like powder or else it will burn in a heartbeat...i find i like to grind medium grade grind and fill the trench just below the top of the screen. make sure that the grind is right try that and get back to me
