Really? I can't confirm that. I do suck the contents into the stem but about half of it always falls out to the chamber.
Thanks, that might be worth a try.

It shouldn't fall out. Nothing should ever touch the screen inside of the female joint practically speaking. If material is falling out, don't grind fine (not necessary with the Milaana). Tamp what you are putting into the joint down so that it caramelizes once it gets hit with heat. I use the fat of my finger and don't poke or prod, just that is enough to hold material in place. My screen doesn't sit evenly in most joints, but one part of the screen that is closest to the end is about .5mm I would say the side opposite sitting a little crooked is about 2-3mm away.

Not really. Especially after first hit. It holds into the GonG as do most others that are similar.
Either way, when taking a hit it will go into the GonG with suction, so good screen placement is key.

I use a medium grind (SLX) and find that the load nearly always stays in the stem. When some does drop out towards the heater screen, the sucking action of taking a hit pulls it back into the stem. Once warm it all sticks together even more naturally.
Yeah, right. What he said.

I do the same, tho seldom fully upside down. I do it at about a 90 degree angle, maybe tilted a little more. Always kind of chuckle at myself for being so overly cautious here, but haven't had any issues and only find material on bottom screen after carrying around Mi with load in. A quick blow into it with it tilted away from from my face always cleans it out. Not really an issue with Zi, as the stem rides in its own spot - not in female GonG.
I can't say I fully agree with this I have experimented with screen placrment and found with a little technique adjustment it doesn't make much difference. Deeper in the GonG needs more button time and slower draw to get to temp but cloud size is not affected just need to work at it a bit more... In fact I 'think' I can get bigger clouds as I find the vapour slightly less harsh. Search my vids I have demonstrated deep screen clouds in one or two, Ill look them up and repost
Yeah I'm able to pull clouds in a number of different setups but they all require a different amount of technique. Keeping the load up near the tip in the basket formation requires the least amount of technique imo but it's also the easiest way to scorch ruin the taste of the load. This usually happens for me when I use this setup on a fresh battery.
Most times lately I have been using stock stems with screens set down into the joint in the dome fashion (OG style). I did however send all my 7th floor 26mm mouthpieces off to Ryan to be cut down to 22mm length. I'll have the choice of basket screens flush with the tip or ELB's when they get back. Can't wait! They are going to look sick on top of my Walnut!

Good points. He has all the necessary parts to test. I send a couple ELB's and he has some top hats. I don't know that you need to cut anymore than down to 22 tho. I use tophats with my standard 22mm stock stems and lock to the joint without issue.Just FYI, 22mm is standard US and is fine. Since he is cutting them, tho, I would have him take off another mm or 2 so that you can use the rimmed screens if you want. (aren't the ELBs rimmed too?) Or at least that is what I would do.

During early Zion days and forward rimmed screens were specifically disallowed by RBT because they extended the length of the joint leaving it (potentially) resting on the heater screen. Unless something has changed that should still be a concern. Please ask him and report back.
The screen I like to use (on a short joint) is the Arizer domed screen. The rim is the same, I think.

Ryan had a live feed on IG earlier of the glass cutting, sorry if I had read this sooner I would have asked for u.During early Zion days and forward rimmed screens were specifically disallowed by RBT because they extended the length of the joint leaving it (potentially) resting on the heater screen.

Do you have access to a multi meter? Its a bit tricky to hold its probes just right and press the trigger to get a reading... Then subract the resistance of the probe leads and you should have something close to the heater resistance
Now all you need the know is what it is supposed to be
Afraid I cant help you there apart from saying I think mine is 0.6 ohms but it was measured a while ago and I had been using Mi at the time so could have been 0.8I will measure again tomorrow and report.
If if yours is around the same figure then we know the unit is working how it should and it is technique, if it is way off then we know something is wrong with the unit...
So pulled out the meter finally and my memory was pretty close. Couldn't hold the probes still enough for the reading to stabilize but was flickering between 1.1 and 1.3 ohms minus 0.5ohms for the leads... lets call it 0.7ohms for arguments sake.
Well yeah. You are confirming what I said with this part:
You have to adjust your technique because if you don't, you get less vapour.

@Other Side will you post up some pics when you receive them? I'm not familiar with the 7th floor mouthpieces but I'm definitely interested in being able to use my ELBs with my milaana and Zion.
Sure will.

Just FYI, I checked with Ryan and rimmed screens should not be used unless you trim the glass below 22mm as they add to the length of the joint. Official position.
All you need do is trim a mm or two from the end of the 22mm joint

Well not exactly... You said
Suggesting moving the load away reduced vapour production irreversibly and the only place the load should be is at the tip.
Which is why I just wanted to point out that while I agree moving the screen back, away from the heater can reduce production it should not be stated as fact that it can not be moved back. As it only takes a little adjustment to accommodate the extra distance.
Having said all this I am currently running with the screen at the tip of my maple stem from Alan as I find the low temp flavor outstanding like this, and have sufficient experience to reduce hot spots by holding trigger too long. Glass stem is still pushed back though for those higher temp quick hits.
Edit:
Of course if you had a very early model (I think you do?) Which may run a little cooler? Then moving the load away from heater may have greater effect than in a hotter device, explaining our difference in experiences. Or it could be much simpler and just be because we are different human beings

Does anyone know if Ryan's PayPal is working again. I wanna order another milanna

Many vapes & accessories. Always happy to help
No, it doesn't. I'd advice you to contact @cannabis.pro directly, so you might get your foot in on the next batch he's gonna receive soon. His website is https://www.420edc.com/
Hope this helps!

Does this mean the few listed on the rbt site are not actually available?
RBT is not selling direct any longer. Our shop at 420EDC will be handling the Milaana sales. We have an email list that you can sign up for on the RastaBuddhaTao page of the site to let you know when we get the next shipment. One of them is going to a personal friend so there should be 5 remaining, and from the video RBT posted yesterday it looks like 3 Walnut and 3 Cherry, although I could be wrong in that interpretation or he could have had them filling in as stunt Milaana.
