Vaporific
All who wander are not lost...
FIRSTLY apologies in advance to everyone as I recently lost the ability to quote in mobile Safari on my iPhone - and I’m not switching to another browser. It sucks & the last iOS upgrade did something (which I’ve posted in another FC thread without much luck). Calibration steps have been posted herein several times - please search for it. I’ve never tried nor had a critical need though I’ve contemplated it but was able to fix things on my own, mostly with the oring atop the glass cylinder. This is one area not mentioned above related to draw issues which should be looked at too. Make sure it’s properly seated - and don’t have two of them there like I did at one point and, for the life of me, don’t know how that even happened. Strange!I'm no expert but I do believe there is a way to re-calibrate the temperature settings. I've not done it myself, but have seen it mentioned. Basically, there is a way to make your TM run hotter. I'm certain the instructions have been posted in this very thread. May be worth your time to check that out. I personally do use the TM as a one hitter. I believe if you tighten the screw on the dial plate, it can improve the temps. You can load large bowls, but I prefer to extract off one or two hits. I too noticed I got better performance out of it while loading smaller bowls.
I've read that some have removed the bolts from the cooling unit. Supposedly makes for a more free draw. Other than that or straight up removing the cooling unit- I wouldn't know what else to recommend as far as tampering with the CU. I'm thinking you could either re-calibrate or possibly tighten that screw on the faceplate with a torx screw driver. This is all advice that I've read in the couple months I've had my TM.
Torx 15 works for the main screw, and 20 will work in a pinch but 15 is the optimal size. Indeed a small shim under the top plate for the contact there works too (think small folded aluminum foil). Cheers - and back to work!
