Again, you seem interested in moderating me. I don't have any reason to listen to you and I absolutely will not do so.
The issue may have been discussed 100 pages ago, but not everybody has time to read through all of that.
Actually, I tried to bring this issue up months ago and I was told that the issue would go away. It hasn't. If there had been honest discussion at that point about the issue back then (eg: finish oil vs Wood quality/species) then we wouldn't need to have it now.
No, I'm not looking for a direct fix for my individual device. I've stated that. You seem to have comprehension issues.
I'm warning others of the taste issue, as well as trying to find out why it exists, and possibly find a solution for future units.
Allow me to help you and others with this problem on the TM.
The wood has a smell from being harvested and stored. It might not have been through a full cure or dry process that allows for the smells to fully leach out before manufacturing.
Ok...now...you have that smelly wood in your hands......time to finish the full dry/cure of the wood. Here is what I did to get rid of it on several units....not just one!
1. Take apart all the simple pieces such as the battery lid, stem slot parts (nut ring, o-ring, metal sleeve, bottom screen), there is still a glass liner here and will not come out until you take the top metal piece off the vape. You can opt not to take the top metal piece off the vape if you do not want to lightly unscrew the star bit screew on the bottom of the vape, of if you do not have the correct bit to use in the screw head.
2. (move to step 3 if you do not take off the top metal plate)
Loosen the main screw at the bottom of the vape just so it allows the top plate to come off the wood body. At this point do not allow the metal base to come off the wood body! You can use masking tape to keep the metal on the wood body as you work on it.
As you lift off the top metal piece, notice the very very thin clear o-ring that will come off the glass tube from the stem slot. It is important to get that back on correctly as well. It is what keeps the stem vapor slot sealed.
At this point you now have access to lots of bare wood inside the vape and are ready to clean it out.
3. Now with the vape opened up...use some lightly dampened ISO on q-tips to wipe out the wood inside and out. I also quickly use lightly dampened water on the q-tips to finish up just after the ISO swabbing. I did this in sections at a time.
4. Let the vape then air out for about an hour or so. It will help if you can set the vape exposed to some UV like in a window area or the like. You can also just take a blow dryer and use this to go faster and do a 2nd wipe off quicker if you like.
5. Now you can leave the vape open and let it sit overnight in this state.
6. Next day or how many days you want to wait later......put the vape back together. Remember to get that thin o-ring back on the metal top piece before putting the glass sleeve back in the stem slot. Assemble the top and tighten it back down.
Now use the vape as much as you want....but each time you use it....take the battery top off and the stem side open. Allow the vape to vent the heat out and some of the smell/cure with it. Do this for the next 6-10 uses and you notice that the smell is really starting to go away and at a much lower point of annoyance. Then you wont even notice it will just be gone after a couple weeks of use more. That is pretty much what I found doing this to many Tinymights.
. Battery lid has been fine thanks to nyogel and you guys suggestion to hand tighten Thanks again! The TM Feels great in my hand and I am a fan of The long stem over the short stem. WPA rocks but haven’t really given it a good go by itself( no kid weekend so it will soon!) I am using more bud but the quality of the medicating is worth it and will offset cost, not to mention I’ve been hitting it hard 
! Testing is so much fun but so damn expensive lol! 
Thanks again!
