Thx for the reply.
They're not twice the price tho (P28=3.75,- and P30=4.85,- ) but obviously still a significant difference (more than 7% for sure
) so probably not worth it like you say.

That's an unusually low sale price, worth buying (maybe) at that price. Typically they are more like $9 - $12.Thx for the reply.

Edit: only buy from a well known online store, cells from Amazon are often rewrapped fakes.

It's the price for 10 or more.
The shop is a reputable online (EU) vendor (always buy there) so no worries about fakes.
Maybe i'll buy 10 of both to compare in the long run.

So I too had low temperature issues and contacted TM. I was advised to try new batteries and edit the temperature settings. I did both and it was successful.
My question to the hive mind is this. If getting new batteries didn’t bring the heat back it originally had doesn’t it mean the TM itself is the problem?
Don’t get me wrong. I’m ecstatic to have my favorite portable back in rotation. But it seems to me that a return for repair isn’t an if, it’s a when.

The TM OG is known to have problems with low temperatures from time to time. There are a few work arounds. I'm not aware of such problems with the TM2, not that they don't exist, I just haven't heard of them.

did this happen with a TM 2???

Yes
did you test if it was fixed with just a new battery before editing the temperature settings?
And didn't you just try new batteries first? Before recalibrating?

I notice a weaker performance depending on the state of charge of the batteries. The difference may be small, but I notice it. Older batteries could amplify this.
It would be really interesting to know if you have recalibrated or if the battery is already making the difference.

I have older batteries in use, they might not have as many hits per charge left, but haven't noticed any performance decline in my TM2 over time (if I did, I would open a warranty claim personally, shouldn't be normal imo)

2 years in with my TM2 with 2 different batches of 18650's in use. No noticeable difference in performance since day 1. She rides like a dream!

I recently upgraded to the TM2, but unfortunately, I’m not satisfied with it yet.
I’m using medical-grade weed with about 60% humidity. I’ve tried grinding it to various consistencies, from fine to coarse, and packing it in different ways—loose to tight—but the results remain unsatisfactory.
When I use it the same way as other vaporizers I’ve owned (like the XMax Pro V3), it doesn’t produce as much vapor as my cheaper ones. Vapor only starts to appear at levels 7 or 8, and at that point, the device becomes very hot within about a minute. Even with long draws, the first and second hits produce no vapor or flavor. Only the third draw starts generating vapor, but by then, the device gets uncomfortably hot.
With so many positive reviews and comments everywhere claiming this device is a game changer, I can’t help but wonder—what’s going wrong with mine, or what am I doing wrong?

My first guess would be that the stem is packed too tight. I know you said you tried different packing methods, but the fact that the device is getting hot to the touch really leads me to this conclusion. Just sprinkle it in there, no tamp. Good luck!

I did, but the performance still wasn’t as powerful so I recalibrated. It’s what led me to the conclusion that my TM2 will probably need work done by the manufacturer.
Now I would say try the old batteries...

I’ll have to dig them out of the trash.

Uh, putting Li-ion batteries "in the trash" is really not a good idea. Environmental considerations aside, they are simply quite volatile, and when they do "vent" it's like a Roman Candle going off...I’ll have to dig them out of the trash.

I’ve tried all of that. When the material is packed loosely, there’s no restriction, and it produces no vapor—just air. Overall, I’ve had slightly better results with tightly packed material and strong pulls, but it’s still far from satisfactory.
I also tried recalibrating the device out of curiosity, but I read in this thread that recalibration might indicate a potential issue and that it could cause the battery to drain faster. In my case, all my batteries last for about one bowl (roughly 4-5 draws) before the indicator already turns turquoise.

I pack the bowl softly, at most compressed enough that it doesn't fall out. I find that steam is not really the perfect indicator, but the TM delivers plenty, even too much above a certain temperature. My batteries last about 4 bowls with 6-8 long puffs and maybe a finisher at full power, but I also use the session mode and like to take my time, about 6 to 8 minutes. If the battery is a little weaker, the heating takes a little longer, maybe a second, but I can't complain about too little heat or steam.
P.S. I like lower temperatures.

Which calibration is set?

It sounds like there may be something wrong with your TM. It could be user error, but you might want to check in with Tinymight or your retailer. Where did you buy it?

What batteries are you using? How old are they?
It's not normal they go down so fast, makes me think that maybe the batteries might be (part of) the problem?
Did that change anything?
What level did you calibrate it at? (and what color was it calibrated at from factory?)
For reference: i've been using TM2 for over two years and don't think i ever went as high as 8.
Or maybe once or twice.
I get plenty of vapor low on the dial. I typically start at 0 (first hit is terps and "preheat" of the load) and things get cloudy from 2 on the dial.
How you pack can affect the way it hits but i think there's plenty of playroom: sometimes i pack really loose but usually i fill the bowl by drawing in the herb and i tamp it in while still drawing so it's not like it's packed very tight but i do tamp it in. I can shake the stem as hard as i can without loosing any bits so would not call it very loose either...
I hope you can figure out what's going wrong 'cause this does not sound normal anyway.
TM1 owner here. With TM1, a gradual loss of power usually meant a bad connection. One fix was to open TM, and put a shim under the metal strip (the one going from the bottom of the device to connect to the top panel), and tighten really good. Obviously not the fix for TM2, but possibly a bad connection might be oxidizing somewhere.
@Mukmuk,
One fix for TM1 was adjusting the ring that holds the stem. Too loose, and there will be an air leak. Too tight, and you might crink the o-ring. I had to find that sweet spot in the middle. And if you’re using session mode, try on-demand. Hope this helps.

Using underpowered batteries could be stressing the batteries out and causing the excess heat and stupidly short run time.
To help us please post as many details you can. Is every stem the same? Do you have any air leaks? How much material are you loading? Etc etc, post any details you can think of.
