WAAAAY over priced IMO. It look like a redesign of the Utillian 420. Which started life as the Pulsar Curve. The Utillian is now $59.00 on their website!
The Utillian 420 is a conduction device, it has session mode only, no replaceable batteries, it looks *very* different except that it's a box with a tube in it and is altogether a very different animal.
The Utillian 420 was my introductory vape, and a mostly unsatisfactory experience. It was a fairly weak, slow extracting conduction vape with a terrible design that caused the (tiny) screen to get clogged all the time. The only good thing about it was that it led to me fucking combustion.WAAAAY over priced IMO. It look like a redesign of the Utillian 420. Which started life as the Pulsar Curve.

I bought an extra long stem with dimples on 8/27 and today I received an email saying it had been sent.
It looks like things are moving.
Nope, not yet. I filled out their return form on Sept. 4th. Return ID is #25 and status is 'Awaiting Products"Has anyone with a heating issue been able to find a fix or get their unit repaid yet?
1. Not sure, I haven't tried it. My hunch would be that you can.Hi to all the good folks in the FC community. I am really digging my new TM vape, having had it for about 3 weeks now. I have 3 questions:
1. Can you use it to vape when it is plugged in and charging?
2. In relation to the above, can you remove the mouthpiece/stem/tube or whatever you want to call it, from the cavity it sits in, while it is in On Demand mode, just to stir the herb a little after a couple of tokes? That is, without turning it off? I have a small plastic poker that I use to stir the bowl a bit.
3. What exact number on the heating dial would be equivalent to 220 degrees celcius?
Thanks to all who reply

Please share your solution if you get it resolved, I have the same issue. Although it always work, there are days where it's anemic and others where it's at full power. It's currently at the anemic stage this past weekend but I know in a few days it'll be fine again. It's a bit annoying not knowing what my experience will be like prior to each session.
Yeah, I'm not sure how accurate any of the convection vapes are tempwise. I'm happy if it's in the neighborhood.@jbm I dont know where that original list came about, I have a copy on my phone as well and use it often, but correct me if I'm wrong. I don't believe that will be as accurate as a conduction vape where the oven can be precisely controlled? It's good for a general ballpark I think, but more related to the heater itself rather than the temp of the flower/stem.
On another note, I thought I could patiently wait for the missing WPA to show up before wanting to run it through my bubbler but after getting tired of the lack of communication that many are experiencing, I dont want to wait anymore lol.
I'm not too "in the know" on glass stuff. How can I get the TM down to a 14mm female connection? I have RBT short stems if that helps.

If you got one of these you could use it with the RBT short stem to connect to the 14mm rig.
One easy way is to attach a short length of silicone tubing. I used .5 inch width. Or cut off the neck to a balloon for a 18mm connection. The rolled end works great to seal the stem to your glass. Or wrap a rubber band....I get the TM down to a 14mm female connection?
If you’re concerned about keeping social distance and avoiding birthday parties, someone once suggested to me this which I’ve never bought but looks promising and could work in some situations: https://www.amazon.com/Plumbers-Sea...&sprefix=plumbers+,aps,290&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1One easy way is to attach a short length of silicone tubing.

Surely, everybody has balloons for, for, for birthday parties! Yeah, that's the ticket....
Yeah just turn it upside down and put some sort of basket screen in it that's just held in place by friction until it gunks up a bit. The RBT short stems are 18mm not 14 though.I'm good with it in the neighborhood too! I dont think its too far off at all anyway. If somebody was truly looking for a precise temp to target something specific, I dont think this is it.
Thanks for link! Looks like I'll be ordering one of those. RBT short just gets flipped upside down in the TM right? Any certain screens for this?
I like to start around temp 3-4 for at least a couple hits then gradually work up to and end on 7. With some of my really terpy trichrome covered strains I can hang around 4-5 for more of my hits but other strains require me to up the temperature faster to keep the vapour flowing. If I need medicate quickly I'll jump straight to 7 starting a fresh bowl but I prefer to work my way up and leave 7 for a finishing hit or two. Anything above 7 leaves "the ring" in the face of the flower so I stir nearly every hit if I'm going that route which is only when I'm putting it through water and it's really easy to lift the device off after each hit.Love it!
I've been rocking mine similar lately, along side a upline taster, what temps you running, we seem to like somethings alike!
Sorry, realized after I uploaded here how crappy the pic is! Those are 4mm beads with both screens out of the stock CU shells and a cup screen up front. I haven't loaded up a long stem like that, but you've inspired me! I love the open flow like this and haven't looked back once trying it.
Someone mentioned cleaning, this has been easy for me. I've thrown the whole thing in iso as-is and it rinses easier than the stock setup.
I've had a run of shake to work with, which is cost effective, and really effective with this setup and a little pack. Prior to this I was a coarse grind and fluffy pack, nothing compacted and I really didn't have to stir. But I do quit often because I enjoy the ritual of it. I can run this a little more shallow and not stir, but that's not fun!
I had a ton of tiny beads left over from the SSV mod so as an experiment I loaded all of the remaining ones in the long stem and used two dome screens to keep em in. Sorry, it's pretty gnarly already:
Setting 5.5 now results in very dark brown herb while before it would only be a light brown toast. 7 expends it and it starts looking black. This effectively lowered my power needs by 2-3 steps, which I think will be great for extending the number of hits per charged battery. The draw is tighter and I'm curious to see how much worse it gets over time, swapping this screen is much easier than the CU's. I still cough after each hit, even at 3 or 4, but the flavor is something else, seems to be better than with the stock stem and CU.
Hadn’t thought there was Teflon in the tape. It was suggested in another thread a year or two ago being safe and effective, and I’ve not done diligence on it nor purchased or have used it related to vaping (or even combustion - yuck). Is a balloon/latex any safer? Not being argumentative at all. Maybe it’s not a good idea after all...That tape appears to be Teflon tape. Great for joining threaded parts. It may flake off: Teflon lungs will be less sticky to frying eggs, but might not be good for you.
Do you have an external charger or a multi meter to test the battery?My TM isn’t charging. Red light goes on then goes off a couple mins later. When I go to triple click, it clicks rapidly fast, flashes green and never turns on.
HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS? What do I do here?
These are the parts I clean as well as the threads.
The 4 metal contacts on the outside edge of the pcb.

The ledge in the bottom plate where they seat and make contact.
View attachment 2773
The area under the top plate where that earth strap thing makes contact.
View attachment 2774
Both ends of the main Torx screw where it touches the top and bottom plates.
These points all look like negative contacts to me. Probably worth a clean for anybody having problems.
