Congratulations and thanks for the picture. Your perseverance paid off. I too failed miserably at my only attempt at the @dzoinp screen mod It was a comedy of errors unto itself. Please do post more of your experience with it. I’m not sure I have the right basket screen and I have flat ones on their way. I may get inspired to try it again, now that I’ve been varying my stem & CU configurations. Glad you got it!Finally got around to trying this

A little back story first I’ve been aware of @dzoinp ‘s mod for some time and even already failed to accomplish it twice now before success today! The first time I attempted it i was something of a tinymight Nube I tried using a mesh rimed rbt basket screen and failed not knowing that the mod utilized the original screen as well so I gave up on it for the time being, until I thought about it and a week ago and clicked the link in his signature and saw in more detail how it is done and yesterday I tried it with a solid rimed rbt basket screen plus original heater screen....... tried for a hour there was no way to get to original screen in place with the basket screen in there, so I failed again thinking the rim was too thick on the basket and ordering the correct one from eBay out of country seemed unappealing so I gave up again until today when it hits me the mesh rimed screen duh! And what do you know it works, I didn’t even have to take out the original screen I was able to squeeze and cajole it into place from the top. Success! Only thing left to do was try it out
partial review and question period
It works! End of review I won’t be taking any questions lol jk though it does work quite well as I suspected it would? I’ve known from experience that the further away from the heater the more even the top of the bowl vapes it just requires more power, learned that with my rbt wpa short stem. Back to the mod and what it does! Very even avb on the top of the bowl, even browning everywhere except what touches the glass. I really wanted to see what the mod was capable of so I set the temp to 7 which is where I top out with my wpa, at least for one hitters. Took some more medium style hits checking the load every hit. Vapour Started to die and bit , the top of the bowl was brown but I decided to stir and see what I get and it was a big hit followed by a wispy hit and done. I’m impressed but I do have some questions for @dzoinp would you say it a fair assumption that the mod requires a bit more heat than the stock configuration? Is why you have your tinymight more highly tuned?
I will be doing more experiments on my own seeing what works best for me
conclusion: I like it
Ive been using @dzoinp mod since he launch it here, at first was a bit off regarding the TM, was using at 6 and getting the black/darker circle messing up the flavour so putting the load further away seemed to be the right alternative, that and using close to 5. So answering your question, i didnt had to bump it higher rather the opposite, but i seek flavour and not clouds. Once i got the sweet spot i realised the potential of the TM and since then is my N1 daily driver.would you say it a fair assumption that the mod requires a bit more heat than the stock configuration?

You're both instilling in me hope that I could at least re-attempt it. Thanks! Remains to be seen if I have the right basket screen. If not I'll PM either of you where you bought them.Ive been using @dzoinp mod since he launch it here, at first was a bit off regarding the TM, was using at 6 and getting the black/darker circle messing up the flavour so putting the load further away seemed to be the right alternative, that and using close to 5.

Assembling wasn't easy at first, i start using a VXH basket with no good results (rim too thick) but when i got the right one was easy enough. IMO it is an upgrade, the maker should take this idea and upgrade that screen, i won't use the factory version.
Cheers
I honestly don't think so, but as the dark ring disappears, it can really give that impression. My original TM is as it came from the factory since it returned with new electronics.would you say it a fair assumption that the mod requires a bit more heat than the stock configuration?

Nice! How did you make that?!@Sour Dream The j-hook talk is reminding me about smth i made last summer and used only a few times,lol.. Off to another round, cheers !
I have a glass blowers torch and also there is a glass annealing kiln at the Art university,this is beautiful Simax tubing 16 OD/2,5mm wall,gives me a more even bake then the 16/2 for some reason. Dimple architecture is crucial ,especially if you are going to make a lot of them,the more you have the harder it gets , i learned it with a lot of breakage,i also laugh a bit when a see a cooling stem with a very few and spaced far away from each other dimples,i know that the maker went for an easy game . Annealing also known as stress relief is crucial to the durability an safety of glass,it is a PID controlled oven that heats to a certain temp and maintains is over a certain period of time and then cools it off very slowly (hours) . Fun fact ,If this is not done properly it can shatter in your face while using or just by sitting in the drawer .It was around 30 cm long before manipulation ,if you are wondering.Nice! How did you make that?!
Stoner answer: there’s only one way to find out . I’ve never tried but it sounds like a wonderful idea. Can’t hurt anything. Maybe CU gets dirtier quicker but it can always be cleaned. I pre-grind mostly so I don’t have nugs readily available - perhaps my next grinding sesh I’ll try it.Stoner question. What if you put a little fresh nug in between the cu cups instead of the nuts and washers? Would that give super fresh taste all the way through and just coat that nug with reclaim?

I believe your right and I had several variables in play including starting with a somewhat dirty stem and cu and using a very fine grind from a strain that seems to give a extra big hit vs everything else I have to vape to list a few but I do want to really want to see for myself what if any limitations the mod has vs stock so I’m deep cleaning my cu and stem using my regular light course grind. Even works fine with my wpa and screen placement and I was able to still crush my usual one hitters, which is another reason I believe you’re correct about not needing more heat. More experimentsI honestly don't think so, but as the dark ring disappears, it can really give that impression
Damn that sounds very involved and not something I can just wing by myself on a Sunday afternoon ha.I have a glass blowers torch and also there is a glass annealing kiln at the Art university,this is beautiful Simax tubing 16 OD/2,5mm wall,gives me a more even bake then the 16/2 for some reason.

I’ve got to say, the tinymight works pretty well on session mode. All of this time I’ve been playing around with on demand, it’s nice to just sip and not think about it as much.
I reached out to mike from OGB and got him making me the sidecar customized with 18.8mm attachment instead of 14mm. He responded so fast and told me he will be starting this weekend, I’m super stoked for that piece to come. Thanks again for recommending OGB for that piece.
Does anybody know the exact sizing for these rimless screens. I only received one (I believe for my long stem) and I’d like to get a couple more, they’re good to have around. Thanks
You will need a Mapp gas torch or one with an oxytank so it can heat even and with less stress.It doesnt hurt to have protection gear,but it for sure hurts not having it .I have a special tungsten tool,but a tungsten rod can work , dont use titanium or ss cause it sticks .(happens harder with tungsten) . I am really a newbie , making large vessels and fusing glass requires lots of guts and equipment,that i cannot simply afford living in the lowest income EU country,it was pure luck that some gifted me a torch , I have a few other dimpled stem ideas, which would require some serious concentration on my side ,but if anything worthy comes out i will show my progress here,hopefully at some point i will manage to make a few decent enough to be put in the classifieds .Damn that sounds very involved and not something I can just wing by myself on a Sunday afternoon ha.
Looks dope though, well done! How do you form the dimples in general? Some pokey thing?
Those look like they'd work, but the thinner the screen, the less I like using them.You’re kidding me! There’s no where else to buy these rounded screens without any trim? I noticed my basket screens from my stempod that I found on Amazon fit perfectly & I bought a bunch off them but I was trying to get the ones without any rim, just all screen.
I wonder if these will work...I may take the gamble unless the seller of the glass stem sells then himself cheaper somewhere?

Been there done that once - my screen got pushed onto the heater and bloody combustion. Had to toss the screen. I had to cut one to fit as I didn’t have any and it’s held up for months but needs replacing. I recently ordered .75” stainless screens (19.something mm - I can’t recall) which should arrive in a week or two. I measured with a ruler and think it’s the right size. Fingers crossed. If they fit maybe, just maybe, I’ll get up the courage to re-attempt the @dzoinp heater screen mode. I’ll be doing a sanding of my TM soon so the whole thing is coming apart for that anyway.edit: definitely had to be this lol the screen was pushed too far in and I guess made contact with the heater for anyone else who may make the same dumb move lol
