To solve one of those "down sides" you could do a little bit of Frankenstein, i just came up with this after reading your post.
The ID of the insulator cap where the "UFO" goes is the same ID as a standard mouthpiece, this means that you can press a UFO into a mouthpiece and it will act like a removable screen/deflector.....
This will be a future addition to our online shop, till then just get the UFO and it doesnt take much to push it into a mouthpiece (only a 1/2 ton arbor press :-/ ) . This should take care of any particulates in your mouth.
Cheers,

Hi Tim,
I think I may have an old pneumatic hash press in the garage that will allow me to squeeze the UFO into the extended delrin mouthpiece. Trying by hand was an exercise in futility, though the cats had fun chasing the pieces around every time they flew out of my hands. If I can't find the press, I have a short tfe to try the UFO in as well.
Give my thanks to the people who fill your orders. I requested, if possible, two Evo Insulating Sleeves
without the UFOs. Not only did they honor the request, they threw in the two UFOs loose, so I now have them to play with as you suggested! (Or maybe it was your hand in things, in which case thank you directly).
Have you any thoughts about our experiments with and without the insulating core? I haven't had time to experiment much yet, so I don't know how much the apparently superior experience is due to the direct connection of the mouthpiece to the top of the evo heater core, or whether it's due to the lack of an insulating core surrounding the heater (or a little of both). I also have to experiment to see if the metal smooth-flow connected to the core makes a difference from just connecting a delrin/tfe mouthpiece directly.
I'm using the new evo core now. It responds very differently from my first core (both are std 6v cores). Heats up twice as fast (15 seconds to fully glowing heat chamber versus 30+ seconds for the first core). Not sure what's up, but I'm putting figuring it out on the back burner until I play a lot more with everything else I just got. The new core just makes everything better, and was a worthwhile investment.
My first test tonight was to put a new delrin glass adapter on top of the smooth-flow in place of the extended delrin mouthpiece. It is nicer to use, more protective of me burning my mouth by absent mindedly putting too much of the standard mouthpiece in my mouth and getting my lips near the hot smooth-flow or the top of the core. The ID of the glass adapter is smaller than the ID of the standard extended mouthpiece, and I notice the difference in the draw. It's minor, but it's the only thing I prefer about the extended mouthpiece. I may bore out (drill) the glass adapter a little, but not right away.
In any case, my evo in its current sleeveless setup (that I pictured in the original msg) is probably the best portable vape experience for me to date. It just works better. It's absolutey predictable. It requires almost zero maintenance. It surpasses the T1 in battery life, and in number of great hits per same amount of load (the T1 holds almost twice as much as the Evo, as you know, but doesn't provide nearly double the number of hits). The Evo heats up faster, it's more consistent in hit quantity, and it tastes better too. It doesn't clog. It doesn't need to be stirred. It's just easier to use.
So many good ideas thrown around in here.
