The only thing I think could use some improvement is a better connection adapter as I only got the 3 in 1 one with the glass screen with my TM order. It works fine, its just that the biggest 18mm taper is quite small on it. around 1/8", so it kind of wobbles a bit in the female connection point of my bubbler. That and the small glass screen only holds enough material for about 2 generously large vape hits before its spent.
Yeah this is why I only use that three in one specifically to do whole nugs or chunky grind with the glass screen, pretty much always using 18 mm backwards RBT stems otherwise although I finally got a 14 mm one from with my HI now too, photos to come!
I'm looking on the TM shop now and have added two 18mm connection adapters and 2 basket screens to my cart. With the shipping the total comes to around $54 USD plus the 2 ish weeks it'll take for them to get to US from Finland. Does anybody have any US based alternatives that work just as well for a connection piece that I could potentially get cheaper and faster? I recall reading about the splinter stem works backwards but not sure if I can get one of those separately
Yeah that is still the simplest, why I suggest getting both with the TM originally, getting two is a good idea, but yes you can use the backward splinter stems. I'm not sure where you can find them in the US for sale now, but you could post that you are looking for them, on EntExchange and classifieds here? I bet plenty of people have spares they do not use
Alternatively yeah email
Alan@toasty-top.com if you want to order a 14 mm WPA stem, he does not have 18 however (ditanium mouthpiece is also only 14 mm, like the rogue wax works' titanium lined acrylic mouthpiece) so otherwise if you can find 16 mm diameter stems with an 18 mm tip they will work, like from mountain glass maybe, but they will be much longer if you don't cut them down... Ask vgoodiez maybe?
