Not sure if I stumbled across it here or on Reddit, but I definitely want to leave my recommendation for this awesome product here. There is a little glass one hitter pipe that just happens to be 16mm in diameter and provides impressive cooling. It is the Grav Upline Taster, when I just went to get the link, I saw that it was on sale for $10. I paid 16€ in Germany (onehitter.de) and it has become my go-to stem for the Tinymight. The built-in ash catching should work for us, but I persuaded a 15mm screen to fit in there.

GRAV® Upline® Taster® - Clear - Black Label

The Upline® Taster® is 3.5" long and made on 16mm tubing. Its extra-thick restrictions trap ash and ripple light, giving the impression of color and depth, and its mouthpiece is ergonomically designed. No accessories or water are necessary for using this hand pipe.

After all my issues (sensibility /not enough heating) and 2 ship back to fix tinymight, does really value to update it to a tinymight 2?
Is it much more reliable than one? I want to use it almost daily for 2-3 years before to ship it back (for any possible issue) , for the price that costs..
Many people had issue of heating /parts to tighten or fix line in the previous model or it's much better?

Probably, the fit and finish is so much better with TM2, but also there have been rolling upgrades throughout... So most of the components that were probably the source of your issues, have been upgraded by now... Though I've never had any issue with any of mine, any version, so maybe relative luck too

I never had any problems with any of my versions. But, TM did make improvements so, anything you get now is just a better version of what was perfection anyway...

My opinion...TM is the beast...in such an awesome way.

I bought my first TM2 two and a half years ago.
Daily use, at home and on the go. And i vape a lot...
Hasn't missed a beat!

Kinda feel like it will hold up for another 3 years easily...
Sure hope i didn't jinx it now...
otoh: don't they say "Touch wood" when making bold statements like that?
Well, that's exactly what i do with every hit i take so i guess i'm covered!


In the eye of the beholder:


When the black one drops i'll catch it!

Finland seems so far for an RMA.

Their customer service has been fantastic for me. My OG TM needed an RMA a couple of years ago (I inserted the battery the wrong way and fried the board). Sent it from Massachusetts to Finland and had it back (as a version 1.5 with new internals) within 3 weeks and it still works as new. Used it last night. The RMA process is very easy and I wouldn’t let that hinder any decision about the company and their vapes (I have a Purple Heart TM2 as well that’s 1.5 years old and never had a problem with it). Weekend and Fourth holiday regards to all.

And BTW, the Tinymight is the best vape on the planet! ))))

Well, I agree with most of what you all said but calling it "perfection" I feel it's too much!!
Yes, it worked pretty well and I was really satisfied for almost three years... But still I had many issues with it that doesn't let me enjoy it at its best.
A vaporizer that cost so much, must be more reliable,even in its first version.

Putting the group (really, 'me' ) on notice, as of last night.

If you're still using dosing caps, stop. You're robbing yourself of:
- 2 nice terpene hits at the beginning of the sesh (the first one in particular is joyous). I run @ 8.5 full-time, btw.

- roughly 40% of the capacity of the stem load (my test mule: Missle stem, which I consider the best of the 'standard / kit' versions.)

Other notes: If you're a draw counter (in seconds), let the button go 8s after the buzz, on those first few hits. You'll get a good, flavorful hit and a bunch more usage on the battery before green turns blue. Later, as your load gets used up, you can up that time to whatever your max extract timing is.

When cold, remove the outer keeper, the o-ring, and the sleeve with the screen from the stem side. Take a look at that screen. It's not only double-lined... it appears (?) to be triple-lined. Meaning no matter how fine you grind, the herb should not (?) be getting into the little holes underneath. Which is one reason you're using dosage caps, right?

Downsides:
Yes, it's a little messier in the stem loading portion, without caps. Use the scraping tool in the top, if you need to. And as you know, 'warm' scrapes off easier than 'cold'.

Yes, there's no screen at the stem holes. Don't worry about it. You've got glass balls and a screen at the other end.

Future upgrades:
Drill out the loading end, with its six small holes, leave a ridge, and stuff a screen-based load stem with o-rings holding it to the stem (like at the top end, where you draw). Perfect device.

(yes, I'm a bit medicated while writing this. Would you expect different?)

TL; DR: Ditch the caps, if you're still using them. You're robbing yourself of a bunch of flavor.

Thanks for this. I've been using the caps and am reconsidering. I like the idea, but have wondered about trade-offs. One that comes to mind is whether I'm really getting all out of a cap. I have to open it up and look (unless there's a "hit" count I should know), and then debate whether to stir and put it back together - which to me seems to defeat some of the convenience.

Other notes: If you're a draw counter (in seconds), let the button go after 8. You'll get a bunch more usage before 'blue' starts on the batt meter.

I learn something new every day - wasn't aware of a blue light. I may be too focused on the inhale.

Good point. For me, I also like the idea of being able to have a few caps if out and about (but it's theory, as I've not yet done that).

Not sure I'm following this, but note your point in bold below!

Same - but thinking this is a "me issue"

I am going to try my first non-cap experience soon.

Then get something else? For many of us this has been perfectly reliable, cost is relative as well, but the choice is yours

I have to open it up and look (unless there's a "hit" count I should know), and then debate whether to stir and put it back together - which to me seems to defeat some of the convenience.

You're not. Let's consider the hole arrangement in the cap. For myself, I keep the lid of the cap 'up' toward the stem (because that way, it keeps the top of the cap much cleaner, and I find it a PITA to scrape both, especially that tiny top one). But I digress.

Secondly, I'm a max extractor, so if I see anything less than cocoa brown throughout -- then that was a 'bad' cap, for me. No, I don't chase after it. But I do evaluate what made it 'bad'. My success rate (even cocoa extract) is about 90% or so.

If you look at the inside of the (deep) cap after a couple of loads, what do we see in there? Resin -- that didn't make it as vapor to you, and was stored / collected in the cap. So much that we're going to go on a hunting expedition to extract / reuse it? Nah. Juice ain't nearly worth that squeeze. But I see it, and say... 'I could've had that in me'. How to do so? Remove the restriction (in this case, the cap, with its tiny holes. As far as anything solid getting through... the balls and screen on the draw end will stop it.

Now, there's one more restriction, common to glass stems: an arrangement of 4-6 holes or so. That's the airpath. But what about all of that solid glass left? Roughly equal to the area removed. So there's a potential 2x yield there. But you need to hold the load back. Enter a screen, with a ridge on the glass to hold it in, and the load container secured to the stem by a couple of o-rings, just like the top end is. Voila!

I learn something new every day - wasn't aware of a blue light. I may be too focused on the inhale.

There are two lights (well, 3 if you count the charging light). On the top, the cleaning stem 'handle' is drilled through so that you can see the led lamp on the bottom. Flashing means 'ready', and when you push the bottom button down, solid means 'heating'. As you use up the energy in a new battery, the color of the lamp changes from green > blue > purple > red.

For best results from your battery, keep extras, an external charger (and here's the contentious part): Change it out for fresh when it goes blue. It's better on the battery (blue signifies ~ 50% charge), and charges faster. (And I hope someone with better info than me comes along to refute some of my observations -- but you better bring receipts! (links)

Good point. Will try this going forward (to the extent I continue with caps).

OK - my leftovers are maybe a mix of Nestle Quick color (not cocoa), and maybe some green. I need to revisit, but I've saved it all. I've only been going until there is little smoke exhaled, which I've realized is a lazy and arbitrary line, at least in absence of stirring.

Looking forward to testing this out for myself. And for science.

I need to pay more attention. Clearly.

I purchased 8 extras, but still charge my original after every use. It does take quite a while to charge that last bit, so I will follow your advice and use until I see blue.

 

[Bakin4Life]

It does take quite a while to charge that last bit,

That's a safety function of the charger; it deliberately delivers less voltage once it detects past, say 80% (and that's an arbitrary # by me, totally WAG)
In a perfect LiPoFe world, a battery would want to exist between 80%-40% SoC its entire life. Blessed equilibrium (again, I'm stoned, so... lol)

I need to pay more attention. Clearly.

It comes with age & experience (both, really). Tech / engineering bkgrnd helped me out a little bit, too.

I'm assuming this safety function may also exist/apply in a separate charger (which I use - never the TM2 built-in).

I don't think I have an excuse under either category.

 

[Bakin4Life]

Yes. It's a standardized routine. The (newer) TM2s have capability to use an even smarter charging routine - PD, or Power Demand

That said... the only time I'll use the on-board charger is if I have:
-TM2 off
-No better charger available (even the little Xtar cheapies are decent enough)

I keep enough batts / chargers in enough places, so I'm never in need of the TM2's charge port.

Too much heat buildup between actively using TM2 while on-board charging (in fact, it's futile to try and increase SoC while drawing from the battery, although I did try, before thinking this out).

 

[m0sh]

I'm out of words to describe how amazing TinyMight team is.

I sent my unit for inspection because my silicone blob was off centered and sometimes I had the heater cut off when vaping and I've also sent my late friend's original TM1 that I used to ask him to send for fixing when he was still with us

I got back my device, the original TM1 and a refurbished TM2! Simply incredible!
I guess I will still have something to remember my friend with... will vape for him today.

I'll probably give the refurbished device to someone in need, we have plenty of people who could use it, especially after everything that have happened in the last 2 years almost.

I was out running errands yesterday near my new abode and stopped into a Rockler store (all about woodworking) for the first time and saw this: Purple Heart planks (among many other varieties). I wanted to kiss the boards but refrained as I love this color - and my PH TM2 - so much.

As for capsules in a Tinymight, not for me. I tried it a couple of times and I didn’t care for it. To each their own of course but they’re not necessary. Loading a stem on-the-go is easy enough for me. Heck, last night I made a super delicious load of one strain mixed in with some kief (strong and a whatever leftover bits from whatever I grinded up previously, kept in a kief jarvial) and used the suck-straw method with my stem. Simple, effective and so good!

One of my favorite vapes of all time. Power, size, ease of cleaning.

Today is TM OG day. @maremaresing, the stem looks even better on the OG.

 

[maremaresing]

Wow that really works with the lighter wood and simpler aesthetic of the OG. It looks very "calm" for some reason.

My TM2 PH has been stuck on modeling duty in the photobooth for a week or two and I'm living vicariously through you all.

 

[Pib]

The design of the TM OG battery cover was much clearer and more elegant. Unfortunately, many people had problems with it, which is why the design was modified accordingly. OG is visually more attractive, but the usability of TM2 is better, in terms of the battery cover.
