. That glass sleeve breaks easily, not your fault. The company is atm extremely delayed in regard to their emails. But rest assured that you will be sent a pack of replacements sleeves in due time. They are user-replaceable provided you have a Torx bit set handy. I know it's rough atm, prompt email would be preferred!
Sounds to me like your contacts are dirty. With an ISO soaked qtip run around the male and female threads on the battery cap. The qtip will turn grey. Clean the contact point on the bottom of the cap, clean the cells paying particular attention to the negative end, and finally with a pencil eraser gently clean the positive contact inside the unit. You should regain the performance you previously had when the battery starts to drain.
Thanks. Instead of iso I used Caig's DeoxIT Gold G100L which both cleans & enhances electrical connections. This works well with my audio gear and a small vial is $10US. I was able to reach the positive contact inside the TM with a qtip moistened with a couple drops of the G100L. While cleaning threads on the TM itself (where the cap screws into) the qtip turned black with oxide but only gray cleaning elsewhere so this may have been the problem area. The G100L product also lubricates and should help with the battery cap movemnt. Fingers crossed..
Mine has a large clear oring atop the glass cylinder. It popped out attempting a heater screen mod and I couldn’t get it back in. Initially I thought it was at the bottom of the cylinder but that’s not the case. Long story short: I asked for a replacement as part of an accessories order placed and received weeks ago. Oddly too, the fantastic tear down on Page 187 doesn’t display it. My TM order # was 171 so I’m not sure if this was standard all along (and folks have glossed over it) or in certain production batches.
Wow it just broke? Good thing it's so easy to replace, how old is your unit?Unfortunately, all Tinymights have this inner glass sleeve, it channels the air from the top holes down beneath the heater. Open yours and take a look. But they designed it so the glass is just wedged between two rings of metal, no silicone or shock absorbing gaskets, so I guess I'm not surprised this crucial piece of glass can't survive long-term.
I was very careful with my Tinymight, it had it's own case and everything... It was a great vape while it lasted, but I think the repeated insertion and removal of the glass stem stresses the inner glass sleeve. The bottom metal screen presses directly on the metal ring connected to the inner glass, that's why they say not to tighten the top o-ring too much. But with this defect it's like a ticking bomb just waiting to crack, so sadly I don't think I'll be able to justify a replacement. R.I.P. Tinymight, you were a great little vape, I'll be back when they come out with an improved version 2!

Just to be clear for those reading along, at least on the current units that glass sleeve in under that aluminum (I assume) sleeve, so the glass is not directly exposed to the insertion and removal of the stem. Whether that is a vulnerability for everyone over time we will have to see, but anytime we use glass there is a risk of breakage. However, we continue to use glass for it's purity of flavor.Unfortunately, all Tinymights have this inner glass sleeve, it channels the air from the top holes down beneath the heater.

So did the cooling units fit?
Those glass sleeves are now available on the TM site, so don't write off you TM too quickly!
Sorry for the silly question, I thought you had already received them, maybe you can find some really fat o-rings that can make up the difference
