Time to dust-off & warm up this MOD box that has been sitting in storage waiting for a Splinter to attach itself to. Many thanks to @RastaBuddhaTao in advance prior to its arrival.

My Splinter has been my only device for months, y’all are in for a treat, can’t wait to see the flood of happy first impressions to come!


(and let’s really try to keep the “which mod?” stuff to a minimum :ko:, there’s a whole thread for that stuff. I know, wishful thinking, but seriously, all mods are designed to do more than we’re asking them to do, seriously ANY 60w mod or greater will be beyond fine, it’s just love for your Splinter will likely start you on an unnecessary consumer quest. It did for me, anyway :wave:)

This is my third week with the splinter and I totally agree with @hippogriff, this 510 mod is going to put :D on all yo faces!

Once you get your settings dialed in and you've had a week to acclimate to the draw speed/duration you'll find this a "plug and puff" device. It just works and is very convenient to use.

The draw on it is more restricted than the original Milaana's but I have adapted to it and now I don't even mind it all that much.

I find the buzz comes on in a far smoother fashion than either my Vapcap or grasshopper which can sometimes feel like I'm mainlining THC. That's not to say the splinter is weaker, it isn't, it's just a smoother initial ramp up.

Looking forward to hearing everybody elses thoughts when you all get your Splinter's. T-Minus and counting!

I’ve gotten lazy, my favorite way to use my Splinter is kinda aggressive: DNA75 Temp Control set to 385, watts set to 28 (that’s high, start at 25 new users), pulling thru the Vapefiend Milaana Cooling Wand, results are consistent, quick, and powerful.

Unfortunately that cooling wand is fragile, just broke my second one falling out of my pocket a couple feet onto hardwood, it’s the inner glass piece that’s broken both times.

Have also had excellent results w a DDave microdosing settup, it’s just too many pieces for me. Now trying to fuse a 420EDC Top Hat inside a stem for more solid and compact microdosing.

Same here, just got the shipping notice. I was #49 if anyone is wondering. I think production has really ramped up so hopefully more and more people will be getting their Splinters soon.

Gotta say, now that I have the TCR dialed in my setup is quite lazy.

I use an 18mm Male to 18mm Male adapter as my stem. @Cheesequake was kind enough to provide me with 2x Milaana stems but for some reason I've taken to the thicker glass of the adapter.

I'd like to get some rimmed baskets from @DDave but being UK side I've been a little lazy and haven't ordered Yet. I've got a bit of wood dowling I use to help me set my current baskets into the stem, makes it easier to tamp them down a little as well.

I preheat for about 12seconds, release and repress the button whilst beginning a nice slow 12-15 second draw at 200°c. No scorching with medium dark ABV. I get about 3 decent draws per basket depending on material. First draw is flavour and cloud, second draw is cloud, third draw is light cloud but bad flavour. I've given up string half way though, I don't really care about the flavour on the last two draws.

My splinter got really hot the other day. So hot i thought something might be wrong with either my splinter or mod box. Almost too hot to touch.

The culprit? I packed my stem too much by accident. Had a big hot spot in the material. The splinter needs air. Will keep to smaller loads. Its quite dramatic how much of a difference load pack makes on splinter heat. Cant see any damage to the splinter so all good.

Dont pack your stem too much.

@Other Side, do you recommend purchasing a heat sink to add to the Splinter like in your pic?

You know I never used one at first. Unless you are running it through water or huffing on it for extended periods, you don't need it in my opinion. That said it
certainly won't hurt.

I happen to have it on here because I had a SAI Top Flow atty with the Ti bucket. You definitely need it for that if you want to protect your mod.

FWIW, I think I recall reading somewhere, not sure where exactly, that if you have frequent cartridge changes on a single box mod then a heat sink can help prolong the life of the threads on the mod. Sounds plausible, I suppose, but I've absolute zero experience with box mods and their accouterments. I've also read that sometimes the top of the box mod is somewhat recessed, in terms of the form factor, so in order to have the cartridge thread correctly it requires a heat sink to function as sort of a riser for the cartridge threads. Again, plausible I guess.

RBT received my Splinter and I am EXTREMELY excited to get it back. The Mi2 is holding me over tremendously but unfortunately that glass came loose as this Mi2 wasn't really intended to be final product. Once Splinter comes back to me, I'll be sending my Mi2 in. Been using it with loose glass for a month now and I really just don't want to have to bother with making sure it doesn't fall out, holding it when I hit through glass, etc. Very excited to get the convenience of the Splinter back.

For you new owners. Just...JUST...in case. Little tip to help ensure the threading doesn't detach from the body: Do not unscrew or put strain when the unit is warm. Do not screw in insanely tight. Just screw it in and once there is resistance just chill. Don't think too hard about it, but don't over tighten. JUST in case. I'm sure everyone's units will be fine and functioning perfect, but just in case :)

Feeling like I'm missing out on the regulated RBT vape, so I'll definitely be whipping out the Zion with all this Splinter talk.

Have an awesome weekend everyone!

OK, before I even try out the Splinter, I flushed the stems with hot water & used a dampened q-tip to wiped out the bowl. And I'll probably rinse the screens. Is this satisfactory? And do I need to do a burn-off?

I got the oak with a blue bowl & a blue long stem & a black short stem. The blue bowl looks almost black in the Splinter so when it's paired with the black stem it looks black. And the black is much stealthier so it doesn't stand out the way the blue stem would when out & about. I'll post a pic tom. if I can.

Tomorrow, when I can think, I'll ask my 1st use heat setting question w/o having to read through 50 pages.

Body? I presume you're referring to the Splinter?

BTW, would you happen to know how the SS threading in the cartridge is secured, and to what material, glass or wood?

TIA
