These stems/roasting tubes were my favourites with my TM1.5 and they not only work well with the TM2 but they lane it look nicer to me!

I only take one hit at each dial setting, so I choose that according to how long I want the bowl to last, basically how many hits

So...I know as of me looking it up that Stors from Stors and Bickel is not an owner anymore...a big corp bought into it but, both men are still affiliated and Bickel still is an owner I assume. So...who are the leaders...designers of Tinymight? what do they look like? I am very curious. I know absolutely nothing about how this super vape came to be. If there is just a condensed version someone could post...I do not want to scroll five thousand pages...please....thanks.

Yes. Just figured I'd add the other side to your previous answer.

The Tinymight has given new life to my beaker. 7.5 and a full bowl of medium BCG ground is sure to 
Haha, using it last night was great, I forgot I wrote that. I just wanted to rant about how awesome it is, but that's as far as I got.
Looking forward to home time again.
First I wiped it down with isopropyl to get rid of any surface contaminants, holding it with the paper towel used to prevent any finger prints (these could be added in a stylistic manner), I placed it onto a stirring tool poking out of a glass joint so I could safely torch the tube from all angles before washing it at a sink to cool it.
If you heat it up til it goes cherry red, it will oxidise and leave a deep blue colour. Slightly cooler causes gold/bronze/purple and slightly hotter causes lighter blues, greens and a paler gold. Hot spots will stand out, so I tried to heat fairly evenly while also trying to cause colour gradients with cooler sections fading into the hotter sections.
It came out really nice actually, I just wish it had a tapered fitting to be a WPA.
I'll get a better photo of the stem when there's some natural light instead of at 12:30am.

I heat treated it using a butane torch flame.

Yes, that did turn out nicely.
I've been using a Grasshopper silicone mouthpiece over the tip which works as a nice 18mm WPA.

Cheers, it's a nice bit of stock to work. Looked good plain but had to jazz it up a bit, love the colours of TiO2.
Oh yeah I probably have one of those silicone MPs somewhere... good idea.
It'd be nice having the option of using that to finish off a bowl. I've found the stem warms up quite a bit after some use, it's nice to use to begin with when it's cold, starts to remind of the Hopper after a bit, get's a little harsh
Had a 4 pill terp stem and an 18mm WPA arrive today.
Tried the WPA with a hook. Wasn't impressed. Extraction suffered. Then I tried the terp pill stem and had my mind blown.
Whenever I have wide open airflow I get amazing clouds. But using anything else I can never get a good performance.
Any tips for this? It's hard to tell you are in the draw speed sweet spot when you don't have the feedback.

Doesn't the hook offer more open vapor path compared to the terp pill stem?

That's what I really like about the Lotus VaporScope (a discontinued vertical j-hook) – you can look right at the vapor production as you're inhaling. There's a balance between a wide open flow and some degree of resistance; when it's right, you definitely know it.
Does not seem like it. I'm using one of those dimpled Chinese hooks. I have some 4.5mm glass beads in the base, maybe that is a factor.

Yes that would restrict airflow more than a couple terp pills. If you enjoy open airflow I can only imagine how nice the cooling hook will hit you. Get rid of the balls maybe?
Edit: I didn't see it were 4.5mm beads, I don't know how many fit but then maybe the difference in airflow restriction is less than I initially thought. Still it should be a noticeable difference.

Glad you like it....I've been using mine for a week or so now and im loving it, massive tasty rips and no hassle with the cooling unit.

I love my terp pill stem and mouthpiece. That said , is it weird that I find it has almost too much free flow and could use a little more resistance? I’m packing bowls a little tighter to get the resistance going.

Natively I like a quick full extraction that kicks my a** so 8 on the dial (around 410°F). That vaporizes almost all terpenes/cannabinoids and I get 4 hits off a bowl. For my bowl size I use a rimless basket screen that's pushed all the way down to the dimples that hold the glass pills in my terp pill stem and top the stem off with herb, lightly packed. Gets the job done perfectly, everytime

Gave mine the ol' torch after reading @MoltenTiger technique. Give it a try, if you're not happy with the results, you can polish it all off easily with a little metal polish and a rag.

Just keeps getting better. Ed's WPA arrived and aside from being gorgeous, it performs incredibly well. I ran it through a few pieces while in session mode and I couldn't believe just how well it was performing. I think I can now see why some people are perfectly happy with this being their daily driver. I think the J-Hook will be what I take out and about, anyone have a jhook recommendation? I have the Elev8r one but its kind of boring.

Yeah it was funny to read this because I would think the opposite! I don't know why you would put balls in the bottom of the hook, without trying it as is first, I find that hook to have very wide open air flow, almost too much for me, my authentic OGB hook has a narrower diameter tubing that I seem to prefer even without spikes...
I don't think my high artisan stem has even shipped yet, how quick are they with that? I know they must have been swamped with orders from the weekend drop though... Anyway I was thinking it looked like the airflow would be pretty wide open with it and could give me trouble, that's why I'm expecting I will need to use my Rogue acrylic mouthpiece with it?

That looks so incredible, great idea @MoltenTiger I wish I was brave enough to try it for myself!
Search at the top for the word hook, this thread grows a few pages everyday, but we were just talking about all the options, and the best ones, and where to buy them.. there is also a j-hook thread in the glass section, and a tiny might stem thread too

I almost wish I hadn't, I found your custom heady jhook and now I want one. I'll probably go with OGB but holy shit snacks, $80+ for a spiky one.
For me it was 2 days to get tracking info from when my order was placed and 3 more days for delivery through USPS here in the USA on the east coast. The airflow on the HA stem is for sure wide open so I'm thinking you will definitely prefer using your mouthpiece for this stem. If that is not enough restriction for you then I would just pack the stem tight.
