I ordered a Tinymight2 on release day and received it within a week to western Canada (same case as the TM1 in regards to shipping speed). I was away from home but have now been using it for 2+ weeks. Just like the original it's a fantastic vape, but it is more refined in nearly every aspect.
These are the areas that I noticed improvements on the TM2 vs. TM1:
-Nearly silent in operation. The TM1 isn't obnoxious imo, but it is easily audible once the heater is firing. With the TM2 I have to put it to my ears (most of the time) to hear it.
-No fire button rattle.
-Better battery lid. The threads seem better in addition to the knob to grip.
-Built in stir tool/visual battery level indicator is fantastic. The only improvement would be a pointed tip and I have access to a grinder.
-USB-C charging ftw. I use an external charger most of the time but it's a good option to have.
-Even coverage of heat to the bowl at high temperatures. If you like to crank the temperature the top layer browns more evenly without the ring effect of the TM1. The overall roast, no matter the temp, is much more evenly spread with the double screen setup above the heater.
-The heater seems "better". I calibrated my TM2 down a level because its level 2 matched my TM1's level 4 initially (I've never thought that my orignal ran hot by any means). Even doing so, I can still make my flower VERY dark at temp 10. *Note: I believe my dial is fairly accurate to the pic in my signature based on comparisons to my other temp controlled devices.
-Aluminum parts look more durable with the new anodized finish.
-Walnut is a good upgrade over oak imo. Smoother surface and more grain variety from the pictures I've seen. I love the heartwood/sapwood my device has. I can't wait for the purpleheart to join my lineup.
-Temp level dot is a good addition.
-No light leaks.
Both the TM1 and TM2 are top of the pack imo so you can't go wrong with either. If you're looking for a more refined experience then go for the TM2, otherwise the TM1 is very capable.
I see a lot of stem talk and I have to weigh in. The original cooling unit is decent for most, but I prefer other options.
Splitting the cooling unit, removing the internals, and adding glass balls gives excellent cooling. Screens on both ends work really well also. Cleaning is a bit of a pain though unless you have a mesh strainer.
The Grav Labs 3" Upline taster became a favorite of mine because of the tapered tip but it runs a little hot.
I haven't tried the titanium stem to be honest. I will eventually but I prefer glass based on last experience. Wood (Ed's cocobolo stem and WPA in my case) can be fun as well, but it does change the flavor profile imo.
My ultimate favorite is my 508phineas setup. The pink stem in all my pictures is amazing. Tapered tip, super thick glass, excellent cooling with vigreux design while maintaining a great flavor profile. It's very easy to clean as well. I also have a clear XL tube and 18mm WPA adapter (both vigreux) that pair excellently for more cooling at the slight cost of flavor. I could keep those 3 pieces and toss every other TM stem and I'd be good.
And with that, I'm going to go pack a bowl in my TM2
