TinyMight / TM 2

[Shit Snacks]

I don't have a problem never using the upper parts of my dial lol they're there just in case

 

[Spy Car]

It's a factory utility that allows you to raise or lower the calibration from the default position. In other words, lower the calibration and you'll get more resolution for the lower temps on the dial. There are investigations in the manual (I believe) and also in the thread of you need them.

I'll dig into the details when I'm in a better position to comprehend (anything), but the short answer is this is something I can do at home? Right.

I'm on bowl 3 of Durban Poison, hand-ground medium-coarse, packed full, light tamp, and the stem with the glass beads.

I love this thing already. If I can re-calibrate it, it can only get better.

See page 932 for calibration info. That’s the latest I have regarding this for the TM2 (I keep copious notes on it). I forget if it’s the same for the OG TM. I’ve never tried recalibrating either my OG TM or PH TM2 either. I was tempted once or twice but never went through with it.

Unfortunately, I’m on a very long T-break hiatus with no end in sight and miss my TMs. I have a few other vapes but the TMs are my ‘rotation’ mentioned a page or two back. There is no better vape in my opinion (for me).

Cheers.

I found the routine in the users manual (who reads those things?) and ran through it just now.

Hopefully I didn't cock it up. What brilliant engineer came up with that routine for people who are using their product as directed? LOL

Damn this is a nice vaporizer.

[RustyOldNail]

Is that a factory/vendor return, or an easy DIY fix?

I have no reason to believe that this unit is mis-calibrated--I'm rather certain that isn't the case--but if it were possible to recalibrate the unit to give me more low end, I'm fairly certain I'd do that.

Perhaps they should bring out a TM2 PH SUB-ZERO Edition?

Bill

I’d advise using your new TM for awhile before doing any calibration. While I’ve never needed to do it, there are posts here that describe the process in detail. Some have screwed it up. Enjoy the device as is for awhile, you may find the current settings just fine. I start at #5, and go up by one, till I get to 7, or vapor production and taste diminishes. I can’t imagine that a level of “0” or “1”, wouldn’t be light enough, unless the factory calibration is not proper. If that becomes an issue, then consider doing a recalibration….

 

[never_inhaled]

If--for sake of argument--a TM2 PH was on it's way to me and I had some credit at PotV to burn, what accessories would you all suggest to round out the experience?

Is the "official" 14mm WPA a must have? Or is there a compelling WPA alternative?

Are the J Hooks something to consider? Sneaky Pete's has a J Hook with beads (thoughts)?

What else?

Thanks in advance.

Bill

The WPA is useful if you want to connect to a water pipe, which I don't think the TM2 really needs, others would disagree... it's cheap enough that its a good option to try. If you get the PH version, I prefer the long missile/dick glass stem. For the base TM2 I believe it comes with the Titanium Stem which heats too quickly for my tastes.
Either version you will likely want at least one spare battery (P26 or P28). You'll want to decide how much you plan on using the TM2. One battery is enough for me, but I have 2 spares for guests or if I'm hiking and want a spare handy. You can get the molicel batteries cheaper than at POTV, but that usually requires buying 3-10 to get a much better price. I used the potv coupon to get an WPA and (2) molicel P28A.. with the code and free shipping it's worth paying a bit more for the battery.
There are three things you need to look for if you want another brand/model... the first is a flat top 18650 form factor. Next is how much is the discharge current the 18650 battery can put out and the third is typical capacity. Someone more knowledgeable can point out what the minimum discharge current should be for the TM2, but the Molicel P26A and the P28A is 35A (the P28B puts out 40A). I would stick with batteries at 30A or higher. The P28 has slightly more capacity at 2.8Ah (Amp hours) vs 2.6Ah. Be wary of really cheap 18650 batteries, they may rate higher capacity but have too low of a discharge current and won't work.
If you travel with your TM2 often, I suggest a $20 hard case like I have in my profile. It is air proof (smell proof) and waterproof and fits everything I mentioned. I suggest not paying for any other accessories until you get used to what the TM2 comes with... that will give you enough experience to help you decide what is worth spending money on for your specific needs.
Enjoy!

That’s GREAT advice for just about every product!
Just wish I would follow it more often…..
I do however try my new toys for awhile in whatever default mode they may come in, before considering any “modifications”.

Yeah better to adapt to the device especially at first, however you're saying you only take about three hits normally then? Also remember the new PH has been said to run a bit hotter seemingly at least compared to what we have (my TM2 ran hotter than my old TM1s too, so I have a lot of free rein low on the dial and why I turn the dial tiniest bits instead of up entire numbers or dashes)

I know with certainty that i will enjoy this device fully if I can turn it down and extend the bottom end.

Sub-zero.

I don't think I was successful moving to the "blue" zone tonight, but tomorrow...first thing, this unit is going to be re-calibrated.

Or we die trying. LOL

If Zero is a higher temp than a user would prefer on the low-end, and the upper-limits would never be tested (perhaps for "science"), why should a user "adapt" to a device that can adapt to them?

I particularly enjoy having low temp flavor-chasing draws when I'm in the mood. I wish to explore sub-zero on the TM2 PH. That will be nirvana for this guy.

[RustyOldNail]

No, I didn’t note how many hits, just the temp steps I normally use.
Usually 2-3 at each step, I go by the taste and feel, as different strains vape differently, strain, grind, humidity, etc.

Well…. If you’re “certain”, then go for it.
Best of luck or skill, let us know the results.

Oh whoops sorry you did not say one hit at each turn like I do! Makes more sense lol

I'm not "certain" in air quotes, I'm certain in actuality.

What I like may not be to other's tastes, so be it. I know what I like.

Fair enough?

Have any of you noted this new change in Tinymight vapes.
From Reddit I learn that (on at least one unit) the main T-20 screw is now a security screw, apparently five-sided, not Torx.
I haven't been able to post the picture that can be seen here on Reddit.

Maybe it is a Chinamight?

Well, hello again fc! long time no see! (this is my first post in probably 2 years)

I figured it was appropriate to return this morning to announce I just pulled the trigger on a TM2 purpleheart, considering this was the first place I stumbled on the original TM years ago. It's been a dream vape ever since, and finally I'm at a point in my life I can see what all the hype is about.

I went ahead and picked up the v2 dosing capsules and an extra battery, and plan on getting a tinymigh.t bowl and a couple spiked stems from aliexpress. I don't expect to be using it on a piece much, considering I already own a ball vape for home use, but I'm curious if there were still any other accessories y'all would recommend? And any other tips/tricks y'all can provide on how to get the most out of the thing. For reference, I'm more interested in full lower-temp extractions than I am in riding the combustion line.

Cheers, and here's looking forward to trying the thing out next week!

I'm more of an advice-taker than advice-giver at this point. I have had a TM2 PH for less than 24 hours. I am still dialing it in.

Disclaimers aside, this is a world class device. The flavor chasing potential is huge and the TM2 can kick like a mule if so desired.

Last night I'd texted by best vaping buddy (an OG vaper who has had Volcanos, currently a hybrid, for at least 15 years) saying I had a new toy to try. He decided to pay a late-night visit.

We played with the temps. From my preferred ultra-low setting to god-damn.

My buddy was blown away. While a pioneer himself, he wasn't really aware of the innovations that have come to market in recent years.

I used the supplementary glass bead filled (long) stem last night and switched to the shorty this morning. Far prefer the longer stem. Keeps everything cooler. And the issue with "heat" is less with the vape temp (for my taste anyway), but rather with the glass getting a bit warm to the touch.

Having a cool stem vs a warm stem on one's lips in my short trial, makes for an upgraded user experience. But the long (bead-filled) stem is included.

This is a "fucking awesome" vape in my under-24 hour experience (with at least 4 hours of sleep).

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I'm enjoying mine.

Bill

ETA: Extra batteries and an external charger appear to be must haves if the TM2 is going to see heavy use. And it is so excellent that heavy use will be likely. And it is best, by all reports, to do the charging outside the device.

POTV has tm2 and tm2 PH on sale for Black Friday. Go go go

I don't know what you got from aliEx, but I would be surprised if they were that good, the t-bowl depends on how you are going to use it (for me it would be useless) my favorite is still my good vibes u turn stem, I also like my other stems from him and pyro high tech, and WPA (hookahhead makes nice ones too also rogue wax works) and various right angle hooks and other dry glass pieces... Plain WPAs without the glass screen only (and I never use capsules)

 

[badbee]

What brilliant engineer came up with that routine for people who are using their product as directed? LOL

That procedure was originally intended only for in-house calibration. For the first couple of years of the TM1 it wasn't documented anywhere, people learned about it from trouble shooting emails with the manufacturer. Once that information spread he decided to go ahead and document it. It's generally not the right solution for fixing problems with the device but is a workaround that some have found helpful.

Which is fine, to a point.

Once the information is out there (and even published in the user's manual) it becomes incumbent on a manufacturer to make the re-calibration process less onerous to the consumer. Maybe not on a $20 device, but the PH is over $400.

They should find a premium solution that is in line with the premium aspects of the rest of this thing.

Have I mentioned that I puffy-heart love my new TM2?

My PH TM2 runs cooler than my OG TM from my experience. That being said it’s not a true 1:1 comparison since I use the short stock stem with the OG and newer, longer and cooler (cooling) stems with my PH TM2. The first draw with the TM2 is occasionally underwhelming and subsequent ones are better. Also, I start at a lower temp on the dial with the OG than with the TM2. Whenever my hiatus is over, whenever that might be, I’ll do a better A/A comparison. I don’t even remember if I tried a short stock stem with the TM2 when I got it.

I haven't grabbed them yet, my plan was just a couple of the basic '3D spiked' stems. I'm normally fairly clumsy so I mainly wanted to have some backups, even if the function isn't the most ideal. At the current price point it wouldn't hurt that much if I accidentally broke one of the stems I've been looking at, but that'd be a different story with a nice artisan stem like the gvb.

I'm sure eventually I'll pick up one of the nicer stems once I get more of a feel for what I like in the device, but my main thing with the aliex stems was really just getting something cheap enough that I could shrug it off if I snapped it on the go, while keeping the nice stems for home

EDIT: it occurred to me after a bowl that I should probably still link you to one of the spiked stem listings This was the first one that caught my eye just skimming a search for 'tinymight'

 

[Spy Car]

You are welcome, glad I could help.

You missed an opportunity to use air-quotes appropriately. "Help"? LOL

Look, I'm in the tail-end of a divorce that has broken my heart. In the next few weeks I have to finishing packing my stuff and moving out of our "forever" family home, which will be razed to the ground.

I'm hurting. And I don't need any more conflict or drama in my life. I've got plenty.

You seem offended that your advise doesn't resonate with me. Please understand that I have the judgement to know whether I'd like a device to run globally cooler or warmer. The TM2 will become a perfect device once I figure out how to re-calibrate it and turn it down. For my taste it has plenty of room on the high end, but I'd like to get more range on the bottom end, although I'm likely in a minority opinion on that preference.

I'm one who enjoys exploring the low-temperature end of the spectrum, perhaps more than most?

I've come to love the TM2 PH in the few hours that it has been in my life.

I am fantastically happy with the purchase, and came here this morning to thank everyone here for their advise and support.

Thanks to forum members here, I have been assembling a truly world-class vape collection in record time. I could not have accomplished such a feat on my own, through trial and error.

I appreciate that I will be standing on the shoulders of giants. I can live with that. LOL

I also appreciate that the TM2 is helping me to get through my worst nightmare come true.

I'm doing my upmost to keep my mind and my spirit in a positive place.

Have a good day,

Bill

Some of us have gone for the spiked J hooks, which cool really well. I picked up a three pack of these from DHGate expecting to break them when I was out and about And I haven't broken any yet. They are surprisingly durable. But I need a lot of cooling and these work pretty well for me.

Here is a sample from DHGate.

They were cheaper a couple years ago when I got them, but they're still very inexpensive compared to the well made ones that are made in the US. The locally made ones are clearly made better, but I can't really afford them and these cheaper knockoffs work well.

Added: I just noticed that in their ad, they mention these are "OGB type". That seems a little rude to mention Oregon Glass Blowers who you are copying in your ad but China really doesn't care about conventions.

Breaking a J Hook is one thing. Having a TM2 crash to the ground is another.

Does the unit seat well-enough that is secure to pass around?
