I have an Ed's TNT stem and a WPA. Both are great. They are unlined but easy to clean.
My concern about a wood tip is mold or mildew. I clean my stems after every day of use. and let them air dry. With the wood tip I would only be using it occasionally, so it may sit for weeks or months. I've lost a humidor to mold, even with reasonable maintenance.
I clean all my wood pieces, bowls, stems, etc. with wood wax. I slather on a healthy amount. Leave it on for a while, it pulls out the reclaim (it's fat-soluble). Wipe off the wax. That's it.
Walrus oil is good. You can also make your own very inexpensively with beeswax and mineral oil. A lot of wood workers, including Ed, sell their own too.
Ordered a TM2 walnut last night after window shopping a couple of months. This will be my first portable device. I am imagining that I am going to get this thing and love it so much I’ll wish I had gotten the PH instead. I think the spec difference between the PH and Walnut are so nominal that it wouldn't effect my experience, especially if I will still primarily use my desktop setups. For those with both TM2s, could you offer any reassurances? I figured I couldn't go wrong either way and I would save a bit of money.if anyone is thinking about getting a tm... 100% do it. king of battery vapes.
