Do you mind reposting pics? I’ve not seen any variants but walnut. What other species are expected to be available?I’m waiting until a Blue Mahoe body is available…that should cure VAS for a while.
Congrats to all who scored.
That's a good idea I just don't have enough pearls to fill any portion of a stem currently so I'm just experimenting with the CU. Just now I emptied the nuts and washers except for one nut and then I put some 3mm zirconia and then four 4mm pearls to hold the zirconia and put it back together. Little more restriction on the draw but I'll test it for real later this evening after work.I don't think you'd have a problem with pearls and rubies as I don't think they expand that much. I'm using titanium balls and what I've done is take the bolt out of the unit, slide one up toward the mouthpiece end, pour the balls in, then put the second one in. The only hassle is that the loose balls can spill when taking it apart for cleaning so it's best done over a bowl or a towel.
@Shit Snacks do you use the sidecar on left or right for your J-hook? and do you prefer 18mm or 14mm? I tried to find this and couldnt so apologies if already asked and answered

Has anyone emptied out the washers and nuts from the cooling unit and replaced them with rubies? I can get some 4mm pearls in there but it's a snug fit when I put it back together. Not sure how much expansion I'd be dealing with, probably not much?

I just ordered Samsung 25R 18650 2500mAh 20A Battery along with a Nitecore D4 - 4 Bay Digital Battery Charger from the 18650 battery store. From what I can read, they appeared to be the closest match to the specs I could find.
Good call or no?
Thanks in advance,

I like my 2 bay Nitecore and from what I've read it's one of the most trustworthy brands for chargers.I just ordered Samsung 25R 18650 2500mAh 20A Battery along with a Nitecore D4 - 4 Bay Digital Battery Charger from the 18650 battery store.

Yeah sorry I tried and looked through some but didn't see anything specifically about adding material to the CU. I actually think it won't make a noticable difference I'm just tinkering.Many people have done this, I don't think there is any expansion at all with rubies, nor with quartz or glass in this application, but I think people who have swapped out have also used steel pearls in particular... Try to use the search feature?

Thank you for your reply, it makes sense and I’ve corrected the order of the O-rings.After a soapy hot water wash, I gave all appropriate parts an iso soak & then wiped them over with tissue & cotton buds. At one point, I noticed there was a small amount of grey residue on the tissue although I'm not entirely sure which part it came from. Also, when I was finished I could see the used cotton buds were faintly tinged grey when compared to an unused bud, but I was looking very closely. I also feel there was a slight smell with the initial burn-off, which has now mostly dissipated & I could see nothing visible burning-off when it was viewed under a lamp. Overall, I am happy with the out-of-the-box condition, but I will always carry out my own cleaning routine before using a vape - if nothing else, I find it's a good way to get to know all the parts, how it goes together and maybe gain a better understanding of how it works before I use it.
FWIW mine came with the larger o-ring on the top section of the cu, & the smaller o-ring on the bottom section.
And finally, a little bit of sunshine to help highlight that lovely grain:

By any chance, do you have a link to that model? I might be able to change my order...Mine has the bend and mouthpiece on the right, I think I would have preferred it on the left actually, but didn't think of it before ordering at the time, have no complaints, still able to hold together with my TM in one hand in either hand, although more comfortable in my right hand... Mine is also 18 mm, because at the time that is all the WPA had, and still mostly what I use, backwards RBT stems, but I also have a 14 mm WPA now too (originally OGB sent me 14 mm hook accidentally so I still have that one but it also had a flared trumpet mouthpiece that I absolutely hate and so my roommate uses it with the fiece) my hook uses 12 mm tubing for the right angle pathway instead of the standard 15 mm on the website now, but the pinched him flat mouthpiece I have is a standard. 18 gives you slightly larger bowl for me with my WPAs and a little more airflow, 14 very even extraction, I don't use any that have the glass honeycomb screen though, I have the multi WPA from TM and I hardly use it (just the occasional whole nugs or chunky grind often dry anyway)
Haha yeah, if you are patient, and can wait maybe forever, blue mahoe is actually a pretty rare wood, I doubt they will be able to source it to ever offer the TM in that, sorry dude (fortunately I was able to collect some of my own finally thanks to cloud connoisseur and fearandlawyering...

Go to the TM Instagram, they posted the earliest pics there, which showed walnut and the original oak (seemingly) along with a third reddish wood that has been said to be purple heart (unconfirmed) and there has been no specificity about future exotic species offered, or when that will be a reality (or how much more money it will cost)
Those batteries are fine, a bare minimum, but they don't have the extra amps of the Molicell so they will not perform quite as good, probably less bowls and less consistency
By any chance, do you have a link to that model? I might be able to change my order...
I meant on the Molicel 18650 battery, sorry.Sorry, as I said mine was a custom order, I'm not sure exactly what you mean... I think he offers the sidecar hook in either orientation now on the website, but I think they are both 15 mm tubing, he may offer the 14 mm and 18 mm size now on the website? I'm not sure about the updates, but all you have to do is email him with any requests to customize, or put in the notes when you order... I'm sure it's fine as it is though too
I was able to get one todayIt was sold out in 5 seconds for me on Vgoodiez. I don't think there was actual stock. Maybe someone got lucky with 1 unit. WHO WAS IT??
I apologize as a Blue Mahoe does not exist to my knowledge nor will likely ever. Only stated to curb my VAS as I know that wood choice would never pop up.

Wow! I didn’t receive any candles with my order from Vapefiend. On the other hand, my TM 2 was delivered to California from London GB in two days. Kudos to George and VF on a job well done.My order just arrived!
I have to run out for a bit so this is it for now but many thanks to @VapeFiend.com!
I NEED THAT HOOKThe TM2 iswith the dhgate hooks and the large inline. A bit more open than the og, which is nice. I keep forgetting it has its own poker tool now
