the TM has a hole under the battery's board, is it found also in TM2? about the picture you posted - i think it's for air, yea
It was already posted how it works. I did not do this.
That looks different to mine. I can't see the new beefier oring that sits on top of the glass. Have you tried it? Does it work?
That notch appears to be in the battery compartment mate, not the stem location! I'm with @RustyOldNail I think it's for venting.That looks different to mine. I can't see the new beefier oring that sits on top of the glass. Have you tried it? Does it work?
Looks like the notch is for the heater power strap
The Cooling unit needs cleaning frequently,
It’s not called the Tinymight for nothing
CU should be removed occasionally for cleaning -> ISO. Lots of people also use a rimless dome screen below the CU to hold flower and keep things a bit cleaner there. I used to, lost a bunch and now don’t even bother - and just clean the stem and CU more frequently (in ISO). It helps to have a second set of stems & CUs too (I do). Orings can soak in ISO for a bit, not too long.
Don’t use fine ground flower, use medium grind to mitigate particles falling through the heater screen.
It's been recommended that you take the o-rings off before soaking in iso. I'm curious if others have ignored that and found it to be unnecessary though.
I always like a little math puzzle. The ave US price for eletricity is $15.75 / KWH. A 3000 mAh battery cell can be converted into having approx 11.1 WH of energy at the nominal 3.7 V. That means it costs approx $0.17 to charge a cell with a perfectly efficent charger, adjust that price up by 20% or so to allow for inefficiency. Call it 5 cents per load used.
IME how long you soak will be a factor in removing o-rings or not. Or if you like the conveneince of cleaning with o-rings on, get some backups since too much iso exposure can lead them to wear down (this is my understanding not direct experience, on the wearing down).
I'm not even sure if this is a serious question, but charging a 18650 battery a few times a week is not going to use a significant amount of electricity. Frankly, I doubt you'd notice the cost of charging these batteries a few times a day, unless you have an unusual electricity situation. I charge my batteries on the early side, and they take about 1500 mA. Probably what a cell phone takes.
The bottom of the CU gets gunked up and eventually affects the draw -- you'll likely need to clean it every few weeks (obviously depending on how often you vape). The o-rings should be able to tolerate ISO. I personally hate cleaning sticky vape gunk, which is one reason my original stem doesn't get used anymore in favor of the GRAV stems -- the GRAV stems essentially never need cleaning unless the sight of brown gunk bothers you. And when it does, just leave them in ISO or grain alcohol for a bit and you're done. Nothing but glass and a screen.
I don't take the o-rings off any of my vapes, haven't had a problem so far. I don't do long soaks, just a couple of minutes while I'm cleaning something else and then it gets scrubbed and rinsed with water. Haven't noticed any loosening.
Have not, was not aware that is adjustable, not sure how to get enough of a grip to rotate it to remove though. If that metal ring on top could be removed and the o ring taken out, that would probably let the tnt stem slide in though..
You shouldn't need to take the o-ring out, just loosen it - I'd say push down slightly and turn, it shouldn't be hard. It's designed to adjust the tightness of the stem - that o-ring is an important part of it.
