Do you have like 1/4 of the battery after that session? Not sure when to start charging for optimal battery longevity. I usually charge when it switch to blue or purple light, as the vapor produced on the same temp dial is reduced. Probably not the best way to handle batteries and device.
I'm using Molicell P26A batteries (and the TM 1.5) and when I charge they generally take just under 1600 Milliamps (of a nominal capacity of 2600). So in theory I still have 1,000 Milliamps left or roughly 40% of capacity. While the TM will shut down long before you reach 0 capacity, I'm definitely leaving some capacity on the table, so to speak. I'm not sure what is optimal in terms of how far to run them down, but I do charge them at a fairly gentle (and slow) 500 Milliamps.

I'm generally sneaking away to take a toke, however, so the device running out of juice is a bigger monkey wrench for me than it might be for others. As a result I prioritize not running out of power mid-session over using all of the capacity, even if that isn't best for the battery (because it is best for how I use the device on a practical level). And I suspect it does not make a dramatic difference to battery longevity.

Even the top quality batteries such as the Molicells are really pretty inexpensive and still last a long time even when "abused." If you have a device, phone, vape, whatever that does not have replaceable batteries, then jumping through hoops to maximize battery life can be important. For devices such as the TM that use readily available inexpensive replaceable batteries, then maybe not. The USB-C connection on the TM2 is quite handy. I just plug the TM in to charge after each session. It is easy and it saves wear and tear on the battery compartment. In my view the relatively minor loss of battery longevity is not a big deal. This is not at all to discount those that use external chargers (I have them too), but just to offer that there are different ways to look at the "problem."

Agreed, just be careful, my OG TM charges at a fairly high charge rate of 2 amps, and the TM body gets a bit too warm for me.

The "proper" tinymight screens make this unnecessary.
But the proper Tinymight rimmed screen that I have is too small for the proper Tinymight stems that they sent me; gravity is sufficient to separate the screen from stem.
Except for the long cooling stem for which the RBS was made.

Now the sun has set into the sea (as though) and I have finished the basket in my long cooling stem so it is time to load a basket into a shorter cooling stem and do it again.

So I did a little fiddling with some surgical tubing and a Simrell (Seconds) Cocobolo stem w/ Stinger/Intercooler, and have created my new favorite Tinymight 2 accessory. Fits perfectly in a 14mm connection (sorry I do not know the ID but @mrbonsai420 does - it's whatever he uses for his whip adapters :)). Vapor is cool as a cuke through the cooling unit followed by the stinger mouthpiece, and even more so if I hit it through my rig. Stem fitting in the quartz tube is a squeeze but heating it up with a few ceremonial rips expands things enough to get 'er in there (yeah I know what I said please don't do it).

Anyways give it a shot you won't be disappointed - this stem was sitting in a drawer unused anyways in my case.


Mistakes were made - quartz cracked from the heat + tension after two sessions. If you're going to do this use the TI stem.

Haven’t had any issues using both MVS & Cocobolo Vortex stems in the OG TM short glass stem….
However, I DON’T use my thin long stem as a WPA, that STRESS is probably what broke your TM glass stem. If using through water, I swap to a different MP designed for 14mm rigs.

I had so many fears about it failing on me (and I have very little money)
But the 10 year warranty just sold me in the end. Looked like there cant go anything wrong here.
But now the warranty doesnt register on the side and the device randomly didnt turned on :(((
Something I maybe missed here?
That moment it didnt turned on I was so filled with fear and anxiety it was like a nightmare coming true :(((

Another thing, do you charge the device via USB C or do you take out the battery everytime to be charged in an external charger?
It should be less stress for the device, in my logic, if I dont let the onboard PCB charging circuit do the job and go for external charger.
But: the bottom part af the battery part doesnt have a "spring" like I expected. The battery pretty roughly hits this little metal part which converts the impact directly to the underlaying pcb.
I tested the micro USB port when I first bought it and haven't plugged anything into that port at home since. Micro USB is famously unreliable so I only use it when charging away from home (which has only happened on vacation). I would suggest a magnetic charging adapter but with the port on the bottom the TM isn't friendly to that. Like you, I baby that spring and slide cells in carefully with the TM on its side (because I'm not an animal). I don't expect any trouble, so long as I treat it gently.

Another poster mentioned avoiding removing the cell to avoid problems with the battery door but I think damaging the USB port is far more likely (no I have no data to prove that). I screw the battery door down gently with just finger tip friction to protect the spring from excessive compression and leave it sticking up by 1/16 ( 1/32 maybe? ) of an inch.

Yup that probably did it - I was supporting the weight of the TM to protect the joint on my rig but it still broke. If I sanded down the outer diameter of the stem a touch it probably would have been fine though - I'm sure tolerances on Austyn's CRC/Lathes are wide enough that our stems are slightly off - plus mine is a "Simrell Second" that didn't pass QA ...learned a lesson there - now off to buy a proper WPA.

Using two orings on the stem end helps. You don’t need additional vortex cooling when going through water.

For WPA, as well as a MP, use the Ditanium Titanium MP (link below), it fits the TM glass load stem, but you have to find orings that work, the spare blue ones from my Mighty work.

Fantastic. Ill have to check that out! Thanks!

As @dzoinp said compress the height down gently so the screen has the friction fit.

Alternatively you could use a fingernail or flat implement to make several small indentations to make the screen fit. I prefer the second method so I can tell at a glance which screens are for Tinymight and which not when washing a handfull of screens.

I've seen some pictures of stems with plastic or rubber caps on the end to keep the dosing capsules from falling out. Can anybody advise where to shop them at?

Caps: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Whit...4?pageci=bb9884f1-e4d8-44b7-a6e7-a8436cffdf4c

Mine are black :). Someone else before me ordered different caps with little dimples in the cap. Mine don’t have dimples which is ok by me. I keep caps on my extra stock stem when not in use (and gave a few away to my buddy @VapeKnight whose accidental second TM I bought from him new - what are friends for?). Good luck and enjoy - I do daily! :D :peace:

I bought the END CAPS from the eBay linked in post above. As they are SILICONE, didn’t like the stiffer VINYL ones.

Did you choose the 15.7mm?

And they don’t have nipples, lol. I like the flat top ones and they fit perfectly: 15.7mm it says underneath the top. Great for the stem in the TM and any extra stems, particularly with preloaded stems if you go that route (I rarely do but a great option in this scenario). :peace:

Celebrating 1 year with my TM, some high THC LemonMerangue, and JyaRz to keep it fresh!

Thanks to all the fine folks here who educated me about vaporizers & helped me pick a device I've come to consider my BFF, even if I have considered upgrading, twice, I'll have my og with me, for eternity,
cheers!

I do, it's a 120mm 16mm OD from OGB, somebody here told me about him, so I emailed him when I ordered my tm, nice guy, great glass. I ordered a bunch figuring I'd break a few, also to justify shipping, I think they were under $70 for half a dozen. Still using the 2 I started with, dropped but not broken, yet, cheers!

Do you use the cooling unit or pack balls in it? Jw cuz the plain stem by itself seems like it would get hot af

Actually, no, I think I looked at them, the cooling units, but they wouldn't fit, ID must be narrower than the glass from TM.

After using them for a year, if I were to get more, I'd probably go a little shorter, 100mm. The glass tubing he used is slightly thicker, and doesn't get hot at all, they work great. I never found out exactly he used, I did learned that both pyrex & simax have thick-walled tubing in 15.9mmOD, I think those walls are 2.4mm, not certain.

Using my tm is mindless, I couldn't even tell you what setting I use, when one stem gets dirty into the iso, I grab a screen & the other stem, similar to rolling, can't even remember fiddling with anything, I also have extra 28A's charged & ready.

Here are some pics with the WPA & GRAV, maybe octo-taste, I prefer to put my funds towards flower these days, cheers!
