Ever since I was young, I've always liked to take things apart to see how they worked.
And the Tinymight turned out to be too much for my curiosity!
After taking the long bolt out, the metal top comes off first.
The upper heater glass falls out, along with a metal coupler that connects it to the lower glass tube inside, and also holds the mesh screen ring.
I love how the air intake path surrounds the stem and heater glass all the way to the bottom; when you inhale, the glass gets jacketed with cool air.
This preheats the air and keeps the glass cool and the wood safe at the same time!
Next, the bottom metal piece comes off to reveal the PCB.
It looks like the Tinymight is powered by a
16 MHz TI microcontroller, not too bad for a vaporizer!
"Don't Screw with the Screw" is a great little easter egg!
I decided to heed the PCB's sage warning, and did not attempt to remove the screw holding the heater and lower glass...
So it doesn't look like the PCB will be removable from the wood, at least not by me, and that means staining the wood body would be difficult.
The design and ease of assembly is impressive, no solder is needed to connect the vibrator.
The two metal fingers on the motor line up perfectly with the pads on the PCB!
Overall, the Tinymight was a joy to disassemble, and I feel very good about the safety and effectiveness of the design.
Luckily, it was pretty easy to reassemble too and still works perfectly!
