At least one additional cooling unit. O-Ring pack. Probably not much more than that. @M3 Element
An extra cooling unit I run one in each of my stems and some orings both kindThinking about biting the bullet and finally purchasing a Tiny Might. Realistically do I need anything more than the TM, additional glass stems (1x short & 1x long), and the 18mm WPA?
You misunderstood, I have plenty of basket screens, the issue is getting them out of the stem, if the other end of the stem is full of spikes (or bent) you can't push them...
You are correct sir! lol
I can not tell how you are packing and using it....and the pic shows the basket screen on the MP end.
SS, just to play devil's advocate , you could always put a silicone sleeve over an unpolished joint end.

I like the look of that (love your woodgrain too!), how is heat transfer?The Ditanium 14mm mouth-piece fits the TM stem really well. I put a small bit of heat-shrink tubing over the end that extends into the stem; 'makes for a snug fit and gives a good seal.

SOMEONE GET THE JEHOVA'S WITNESSESS ASAP! Fidget just admitted to having Jesus in his possesion! Maybe now they'll stop asking the rest of us if we found Jesus while they're trying to get Jesus back from Fidget.and a partridge in a pear tree
If you do a few hard bowls back-to-back it'll start heating up, but it stays cool longer than the end of the glass stem.I like the look of that (love your woodgrain too!), how is heat transfer?
I really don't mind the GG male being the MP. Most of my use of the TM is through water, but I take a couple flavor hits at 4 first. I use short RBT stems usually and they work just fine. I say stems (plural) because if I do more than one bowl at a time I tend to swap the quite warm stem for another. I have a custom xl8r but I haven't tried it for the reasons you are suggesting. I have thought about trying glass beads in one of my longer stems, but I really don't use it that much without water.Also it wouldn't be nice to have to use the ground glass as a mouthpiece, so yeah as is I don't think it is good for the TM (cooling spikes also facing opposite direction) like I tried to say lol

I would only recommend to have a spare if one gets filthy or if you're like me and want to have back ups. Not neccessary at all.Why does everyone recommend a second cooling unit? I thought the CU was pretty indestructible. Do you just have an extra so if one gets clogged you have one to use while the other is iso-soaking?
It pretty much is – all I ever use is the cooling unit my TM came with (almost a year ago), even the screen and o rings are the same. I gave one cu I got as a freebie away because I just couldn't see myself even using the extra cu I already had. So for me it's totally for the peace of mind only.I thought the CU was pretty indestructible.
We are just spoiled kids, but another reason is that with another CU you can preload 2 stems/bowls for later use. Main thing for me is having the other around if one got dirty and I need a quick bowl.Why does everyone recommend a second cooling unit? I thought the CU was pretty indestructible.

I can attest to that. I have a small metal mesh strainer so I soaked my balls in ISO and then poured it through the strainer into another container (to save the ISO), rinsed with water and a quick blow dry so everything is nice and dry. If you don't have a strainer the process becomes very tedious picking out each ball. The cooling is well worth the extra cleaning imo and is currently my favourite way to use my TM.there are people using boro beads to replace thesenuts (no pun intended) & washers (they took out the metal pole from the CU) but regarding cleaning its way more PIA to clean...
