Funny you say that. I had been debating about getting a desktop like a volcano, but after having a TM2 for nearly two months, I don't see a need."it's also the best desktop I own, it feels like a wide-heater log or something like that..... a log on steroids"
I own a TM2, Volcano, and Mighty, as well as a few other vapes. The Volcano gets the least amount of use from me. It's typically the TM2 when I want on-demand or 0.1g bowls, and the Mighty when I want sessions or 0.2+ bowls. While I love the on-demand of the TM2, a session with the Mighty just seems to hit me a little differently most of the times, in a good/different way.Funny you say that.

Every toke makes me feel like I just landed at Cloud City...
TM @ 7 , session mode slow draw all along for 15-20 seconds.... best desktop i own. the dry bubbler is completely whiteFunny you say that. I had been debating about getting a desktop like a volcano, but after having a TM2 for nearly two months, I don't see a need.
The stem I own that cools the most is a baller stem from GVB. However when I am out of the house I use my MWW stem or 508 Phineas column. Those are both pretty compact and cool as well as the CU.Does anyone who has experience with using different stems have any input on which stem provides the best combination of cooling, smallness, and ease of cleaning?
When at home, I use the TM2 with a WPA or with the long 3D stem, and am very happy with both of these setups. I'm looking for a better on-the-go solution than the stock stems with CUs. The CUs get gunked up so fast and are more annoying to clean than just glass, at least for me. I know that there are many options from many re-sellers listed in this thread, but I'm specifically wondering if anyone has purchased a bunch of the popular stems and has any input.
I own Ed's TNT stem, a couple Gravs, a 9 bead GVB stem, a 4 terp HA stem.Does anyone who has experience with using different stems have any input on which stem provides the best combination of cooling, smallness, and ease of cleaning?

Personally I'm a fan of the GRAV Upline Taster, for the reasons you articulate: easy to clean and not too large to carry. I think they also cool just as well as the stock stem and taste better, and they are a cheap option.Does anyone who has experience with using different stems have any input on which stem provides the best combination of cooling, smallness, and ease of cleaning?

I love my Ed's TNT stems. They were my go-to for a long time. I even have custom shorties. But I have never found it to cool as well as the GBV stem at high temps.Mind you this comparison and strong Ed's stem rec for 'easiest portable, less fuss option' is all with the added configuration of boro bead
How'd you add balls to the ed's stem?Ed's stem with boro beads is leagues beyond anything else in the list. My GVB stem is honestly not impressive, and the HA stem requires a mouthpiece or it just suffers from too much heat on the lips.
Yeah, this absolutely. $14 is a fraction of the price of the other stems, and is a really solid option that offers decent cooling.Personally I'm a fan of the GRAV Upline Taster, for the reasons you articulate: easy to clean and not too large to carry.

Others (some of whom have responded already) prefer other options, and this is an area where preferences and vaping style play some role. But for $14, the GRAV Upilne Taster is worth a try. And I also prefer a flat mouthpiece over a circle.
I use the bucket screen TRWW has: https://theroguewaxworks.com/produc...or-the-tinymight?_pos=21&_sid=b040e3ce5&_ss=r for the bowl side, fill the stem with 3mm boro beads I got from Vgoodiez https://vgoodiez.com/products/3mm-glass-beads-10g-bag-by-vgoodiez?_pos=10&_sid=3e7bfbe30&_ss=r (about half a bag or slightly more is perfect) and then cap them in with another screen pressed into the mouth end of the stem a slight bit, just to give me some comfort on it requiring more pressure to dislodge. It doesn't add significant draw resistance for me, and I can still comfortably take long slow draws.How'd you add balls to the ed's stem?
Or let's put it another way:Oh man, the thing with those GVB stems is that there are usually so many options! Different lengths, number of balls, straight versus bent...
Or let's put it another way:
How long (and how many balls) does a GVB stem have to be in order for it to cool much better than:
- a 4 pill HA stem
- a phineas508 Vigreaux stem, and
- the titanium stem that comes with the TM2 + a cooling unit?
Thanks!
I love my Tinymight and use it daily, but occasionally it will irritate if I am using it a lot. Once that happens I switch back to the Volcano for a few days which is much less harsh, I guess because the vapor is stored in a bag rather than blasted straight down the throat. Both great vapes but not getting rid of my 12 year old Volcano just yet.How's this for a review.
I bought the TM2 to be solely hiking vape.
Yesterday I sold my Volcano Hybrid. Simply because I don't want to use it any more. Ever. TM2 is not a hiking vape. It's an all day everyday vape. Tasty, fun to use, fast, versatile, beautiful.
I have 3 vapes now. The tenacious tag team of TM2/Anvil for every single day. The FP for when I have guests.
And honestly....the high I get of the TM2 is making me question the FP. I'm getting so much more out of my weed. Terps and high signatures previously inexperienced.
You have a 12 year old Volcano...wow, that is impressive. TM2 is strong and wonderful. I learned to crank it down and I get my best results. I love it. I also love my Volcano...those balloons are the bombdigity.I love my Tinymight and use it daily, but occasionally it will irritate if I am using it a lot.

Does anyone know if the TM2 has a different heater than the TM1? I do believe the TM1 got a upgraded heater during its run (correct me if I'm wrong here), and wonder if it is the same heater in the TM 2 or if the TM 2 has an upgraded heater over the TM 1's?
Looking at their site, I guess the heater is just more efficient.You are wrong, the heater itself has remained the same throughout...
The heater is now controlled much more tightly, keeping its temperature and heat output at stable level in all situations. The new heat spreader and improved heater control allows the herb to be more evenly vaped and the end result is amazingly tasty thick vapor production.
Looking at their site, I guess the heater is just more efficient.
Anyone with both notice any difference between the two, heater wise?
