I use a guitar pick, or a coin wrapped in something.
I have tree allergy induced asthma this time of year and do not perceive any difference in symptoms as a result of my acquisitions (I purchased 2 TinyMights)
For both of my TM orders i received both emails and text alerts from DHL express. Probably just have to make sure your contact info is up to date in your TM account before it ships out.
Awesome.
That’s really encouraging to hear. Thanks
DHL texted and emailed me the day before delivery to give me option to opt out of signature requirement for delivery
I had a chance to try making some cork stoppers in preparation for my TM's arrival.
Lacking a dremel, I tried to hollow out the corks entirely with my drill. I started with a pilot hole using a 1/4" bit, then widened it with a 3/8" bit, and finally followed up with a 1/2" bit.
One problem I had while doing this was that the 1/2" bit and the cork do not play well together. The smaller sized drill bits made relatively clean holes, but the 1/2" one would begin tearing chunks of cork out if I wasn't careful:
I had originally figured that a 5/8" bit would drill a pretty good approximation of the mouthpiece diameter, but I didn't actually check to see if I owned a 5/8" bit.I'm not sure how well a bit that large would actually work on the corks, since it would hollow out so much that I think the cork might lose structure and just be torn to pieces. Then again, I'm not much of a handyman, so perhaps someone with better technique could pull it off.
A 1/2" doesn't create a large enough hole on its own, and I found that trying to force my RBT stems (which I'm using to estimate the TM mouthpiece size) into the 1/2" hole would just destroy the corks. I needed something to widen the hole a little more.
I tried using the drill to widen the hole I'd made by swirling it around the edges of the 1/2" hole. I found that this would either tear out more chunks of cork, or not really widen the hole at all. Luckily, I found a little hand-file in my toolbox whose width is almost perfectly the same as the RBT stem diameter.
(You can see my various mistakes on the top right)
I gently forced the file into the 1/2" hole and then used it to sand the hole until it was wide enough. Not only did this make the hole wide enough to fit the RBT stems, but it also cleaned up the chunky edges from the 1/2" bit and smoothed out the inside.
In the end, I got 4 usable corks and botched maybe 11. I think I can get a better success rate now that I know what to do.
This was actually not such a complicated process. I'm not a DIY-oriented person at all, and this was about 40 minutes of experimentation. I think these corks might work well to protect the stem in my pocket, but I'd hesitate to use one to hold a loaded stem outside the TM. The bottom of the hole in each cork is not flush, nor is it smoothed by the file. I think the ground bud might easily come loose and fall into the cork if not packed correctly. Maybe that's something to work on today...

0.1g - 0.05g Would be my guess as the smallest. I usually am packing 0.1g, but do enjoy knowing I may easily double or triple that.
You can just blow your herbs out from the mouth piece. At home I used to use a S&B brush, but now I use a stainless steel brush mounted on top of my new NewVape AVB can, comes out really clean.Had another great evening with my TinyMight. At one point I loaded my herb in the wrong end of the mouthpiece by accident. Discovered that the cooling unit work upside down as well this way
Something I noticed is that my unit seems to leak red light between the bottom plate and the wooden body. Anyone else have this and is this normal? Quite distracting while it sits standby on the table. There is no way to disable the light?
I also tried the silent mode. I guess this is useless in on-demand mode as it gives no vibration when to start your draw?
Also wondering how you guys dump your ABV on the go. At home I use my S&B brush but without tools it's a bit difficult to get all the ABV out.

and he did the same thing with my Tinymight when he loaded it except he sucked a little in the wrong end first, flipped it and sucked it in the right end but then forgot he did it wrong in the first place and couldn't tell why he was getting bits in his mouth 
. He was quite a few stems deep at that point so we had a good laugh. I brought disinfectant wipes and everything and we kept 6' apart while we went for a long walk, it was good to get out.
ebay is where i get bucket and domed screens.
