16mm & 14mm.Without me having to search, can someone give me the stem OD & ID dimensions? I'm speaking to a glass maker so these dimensions must be correct. Thanks!
How bad of hot spots are you getting above 6.5 with the screen in front of the flower? That's interesting what you say about distance between the CU and flower, I'll try that shortly, lots of vaping today while I keep a migraine at bay.Here is an advice on how to keep your TM cooler. Make sure that the cooling units are not lining with the top metal cover,in other words ,they should be above the screw ring. The CU is a bit heavy,quartz conducts heat and aluminum soaks it immediatly,reason why it is used in heatsinks. Dont load your material directly to the CU use a screen between the load,The space between the screen and the CU is essential for keeping the things cooler and cleaner.The closer the CUs are to the material and the heater the hotter they get and cooling effeciency drops quicker.
I am not having hotspotting issues at all. Contrary to my initial philosphy to increase space between the heater and the load,i actually started loading in the very front and capping with an arizer cup screen,so that is all the distance it has from the heater. I never get hotspots at 4-5-6. For water adaption i dont use the CUs ,it is pointless,only fucks up the open airflow and allows more condenstation area.I only get hotspots at 6,5 and above.But i use those temps only with my WP,while i still some distance between the heater and the load,compared to direct draw.
Well i get darker brown ring towards the walls,while the center stays lighter. It can be helped with distance between the screen and the heater,which is what i do when i use water,but for direct draw i just lowered my temps to get rid of it. The benefit of the distance between the bowl screen and the CU is just too great to sacrifice it in the name a little thicker clouds,taste is also better at that heat level .How bad of hot spots are you getting above 6.5 with the screen in front of the flower?

Can I ask when you ordered yours? I ordered mine on the 11th. Just wanting to set realistic expectations for myself so I know how long is "normal" to wait for shipping.Mine is shipping today. I got pretty high Hope's for the TM. I'm hoping I'll ask myself was I actually vaping before?
I ordered mine 7 days ago.Can I ask when you ordered yours? I ordered mine on the 11th. Just wanting to set realistic expectations for myself so I know how long is "normal" to wait for shipping.
Wow! That's actually a much faster turnaround than I was expecting. I hope I'm as lucky.I ordered mine 7 days ago.
I know that's what I thought thanks @Shit Snacks for talking me into buying stuff EVERY thread I'm in haha.Wow! That's actually a much faster turnaround than I was expecting. I hope I'm as lucky.

Oh man I'm really excited now! It sounds like maybe he was able to ramp up production a bit. I'll be checking my email every day waiting for a shipping notification. This is my first vape. I already went over our monthly budget buying this thing, but now I'm tempted to go ahead and pick up an accessory or two knowing that it may show up by the end of July...got mine in 1 week, to philly
I put a dome screen in front of the cooling unit to keep it from clogging as fast and I've only cleaned it a few times so I can't speak to the need for disassembly.I noticed that irrespective of the screen config I choose, the screen easily gunks up impeding airflow. I go w/ the domed screen because I feel it's easier to deal with in terms of removing and cleaning. BUT, I haven't read of anyone reporting similar which makes me wonder if my grind is part of the issue. (My buddy cross-threaded my cali crusher, so I'm using a cheap one i got as a dispensary give-away until the BCG arrives w/ the medium grind plate.). I'm pretty cognizant of how I'm packing (loosely, straw style) but I probably need to keep tinkering with the variables. What say you all - how gunky do your cu screens get?

I had been blowing out those lovely little pucks but as I've loosened the pack and stopped using the higher temps it doesn't compress like it used to.
Just broke a WPA and came here to search the thread to see more about any developments. That's sad.Mine showed up today! Swung by the house on my lunch break, un boxed it, plugged it in to charge. Barely had time to look at it, but initially really impressed and excited to try it out later!
Unfortunately, there was a note in the box that the WPA I ordered was out of stock, and it will ship separately on its own once its back in stock. Other than that, no complaints at all! It looks great, smaller than I expected and how it looks in pics, I gave it a whiff for that "fishy" smell I've been reading about and I barely found it noticeable at all.
So just to get this straight for stock stems - Just load the flower into the stem up against the CU? No additional screen needed between the CU and flower or flower and heater?
How often are you guys cleaning the stems/CU/everything else?
I feel like I've read all of this in this thread previously trying to be prepared, but the excitement took over and I think I forgot everything. My first time using a stem-based vape
.. Does the Oregon water adapter also have a glass screen?My new Oregon Glass Blower customs arrived today! They are perfect, the special mouthpiece of the 18 mm J-Hook is so much better (modeled after the Lamart mini j hook mp) and it is even a little more compact than the 14mm one (which is now going into storage until I can find someone to cut off its flared mp lol) Meanwhile the new custom prototype spiky bent 18mm female mouthpiece also renders the whip adapter less useful as a mouthpiece now. The cooler could probably be made even longer too, though as is the cost is $45 each if anyone is interested... Time to test them out, will report back, but just looking at them I already feel like they're going to be my go-to pieces at home, where I always am now!
Without me having to search, can someone give me the stem OD & ID dimensions? I'm speaking to a glass maker so these dimensions must be correct. Thanks!
3rd TM arrived the other day...........
