From the early days of homemade bowls and plumbing fittings. Copper is NOT suitable to inhale heated anything thru. Brass is acceptable by general health standards (lead is sometimes a large component of
brass). I am solid with heated stainless steel. After all, the heating coils that vaporize my rosin are stainless steel and they get much hotter than the cooling unit.

Stainless is just a wonderful metal. I brew a lot and I have uddles of stainless everything... lol.

Titanium is another one I've questioned though. It's like a super hard aluminum? Right? What do u know about that? My understanding is that titanium is a type of (or kinda related to) aluminum, essentially, no?

My gut feeling on aluminum has always been negative. Not 100% sure why. It seems people go either way?..


With this tinymight, I think the only aluminum is on the outside. Never touches any vapor.

No. Ti is an element. Look to the right of the table, and with an atomic weigh of 13 you will see AL which is an element also.

What's the chance titanium being better than stainless in the cooling unit?

I just ask because cool vapor is big reason I bought this...

I might be very wrong here, but given that titanium heats up faster (= won't stay cool as long as steel) it at least shouldn't perform better when it comes to cooling hot air touching its surface. On the other hand it also cools down faster, which *might* be an advantage since it will be cooler when starting the next hit as opposed to a steel unit.

Either way: the cu of the Tinymight works really good as it is.

'thermal mass' for maintaining coolness and surface area for heat exchange. Ti is light weight so not much mass therefore it is easily saturated. Al cuts easily and Ti ...doesn't.

My reservations with Ti is Ti-Oxide at elevated temps. Personal peeve.

So it's more about hot air passing over something that stays cooler longer than hot air passing over something and becoming cooler by transferring its heat into that second something that absorbs heat quickly and easily?

When I use a heat exchanger for brewing to cool liquid, copper is waaaaay better at cooling liquid than stainless.

That's why I am asking if there is something better than stainless.

Copper and stills have a long history. Brass fittings and all. Not in my vape! There was a time when I wouldn't care but we know more now.

Vape chillers are heat-exchange-concepts, yes. Copper works great but coat it with something. Vapeman coated copper with gold. How do you feel about nickle? If it weren't for directly inhaling what comes off these surfaces when temps are elevated, we really have a very different consideration. 460F+is nothing to fuck with.

I asked how something worked, and if there was something better than stainless. I didn't advocate for copper being used. I do appreciate the answer that "vape chillers are heat-exchange-concepts."

Another question: would thinner stainless work better than thicker because of more surface area or the like?

I certainly wasn't saying you suggested copper @Brewervapesalot , sorry to have implied that. Copper is normally associated with rapid heat exchange. So it is the material of choice for cooling functions.

The balance between mass and surface area for cooling purposes has been a science for generations. I'm going to try the Scotch Bright stainless steel pot cleaners. No mass but serious surface area.

This is ridiculous. Why do i want this. threats of divorce might make me see sense?
Or, you can get this and a new spouse. .
Decisions....

Just impressed some daily bong rippers with the vape at temp 8.5 with a pretty large bowl.
I almost only use vapes with bongs. If you're a bong lover, a vape pretty much let's you rip bong rips all day with little impact to your wallet. Personally, if I vape all day long, ripping bongs non stop, I pass out, or whatever. But I never get through 3 bowls fully vaped starting at low temp and vaping til high temp no vapor. Granted I really eek out my bowls sometimes, but even now, I still barely go through bud. If I was burning... I'd be out of money, terrible lungs, actually, I probably couldn't even physically smoke. I originally started vaping because my lungs were hurting and I physically couldn't burn enough bud into my lungs to get a good buzz because the bud was so meh.

Ordered one. With small + long stem & extra cooling unit. EUR 305.96 incl. shipping.
Lord, let that be a great christmas present (if it even arrives before that)!

That thing ticks so many boxes on my list... Hopefully reality will come close to my fantasy.

  • Convection
  • On Demand or Session (Oh, I LOVE on demand)
  • Easy to load
  • Easy to clean
  • Powerful exchangeable standard battery cell
  • Wood, Glass and stainless steel
  • Rather small
  • Good taste and hitting hard
Fuck, please let that all be true!

Your checklist is identical to mine. The only addition would be not requiring stirring. I think I read someone saying that the bowl is extracted without the need to stir so that would be a massive bonus! I'm so close to making an order. Finding it harder to justify new vape purchases. I think I will need to sell a couple to fund this one! Look forward to hearing how you get on once it arrives!

As long as you temp step and spin the stem after each hit. And pack loose.

Temp stepping is super easy with this thing, I love the analogue wheel. No clicking or holding a button waiting for the right number to appear, missing it, scrolling back... (at least those where my experiences with the DaVinci IQ). And no need for an app too (I would so not enjoy a device that depends on my cellphone and / or the goodwill of a corporation).

Recently I began enjoying lower temps with the Tinymight more and more. It still amazes me how fast and powerful it can extract, but boy, having a slow paced, easygoing session at 5.5 or 6 / 10 is fun.

Thought of a new question for those who are using the device. So i have argo, don't use much. May not have given a fair shake, but i don't like how careful i have to be when pulling out or installing the stem as the force can push the material out.

how is it with the stem and then installing in the device. any notice about material being pushed out by the force?

No. This is my first vape with this kind upside down chamber in a stem, yet I managed it instantly. The o ring in the tube holder prevents the tube from being inserted too quickly and I hardly (=almost never) find speckles of herb on the screen that protects the coil. If it won't fall out after packing it, it won't when being inserted in the device.

Awesome, thanks for the reply. Sounds like it is less of a chance with this then the argo.
