Happy Friday everyone! I don't know about you guys but this Dog is definitely looking forward to the weekend!
Looks like the rain has finally stopped here in NorCal so I'll be able to climb over the sandbags and get into the shop and clear out the flooded water (hopefully before it turns into an ice skating rink with tonights freezing temps lol. If not I'll learn to work in skates if need be.
Thanks for the insights on your feelings regarding the Mini/Micro, I really do appreciate them. It's always a struggle (for me at least) with a small business (it's just two and a half of us over here at UD) trying to juggle all the variables that go into making a quality product and getting it into the hands of customers who appreciate it for a price that lets us keep the doors open and lights on while also being as affordable as possible for them. A real struggle.
Anyways, thanks again for the insight, have a great weekend!
Thanks dude! Judging by your description and my (sometimes janky) memory I think those are the big GonGs we tried a few years back. Maybe I'll revisit them again.. always looking for options for you guys.

Great, thank you, Underdog. I now better understand the reasoning behind it. Might not agree but understand better .
Im buying on price, efficiency, durability yes. I think reasoning behind price for many people is that it is a hard to justify expense even when all advantages are there. I did my research, therfor know a log vape is a good investment rather then spend and keep spending on other or more portable vapes that lack of this or that.. anything handcrafted is also a good investment to me, personally.
It does seem as though your Micro does have a good value and reputation. congrats! if you were to include tube and power supply, it could possibly be a great entry level log vape I think. It could also possibly encourage owners to invest in a "big" dog prior to their Micro needing service or when/if it finally fails.
I do respect your business decisions, it is suggestions / constructive feedback having abit of pr & communications experience in my background. to me saying, look - but you cant have - is a big no, no. I know your website indicates it is for current customers only ; perhaps keeping a database and sending to Customers Only when Available is another constructive idea to help keep present & new clients happy. It is a lost of time / joy/ happiness & false hope, when seeing the price of Micro, to click on it and realize its not for you!
makes it sound as though you prefer people owning a fullsize log so that when/if their Micro craps out, they are easier to deal with being they have a Full Log to rely on...
Sincerly,
Philip

I just tested a couple of 14mm GonG's stems & the results are rather encouraging (with limitations)
Pros
Cons
- Super thick glass (at least as thick as the thick D/D stem)
- Will take standard UD GonG screens
- Available in 18 & 14mm
- Does not get as hot so even more convection properties
- Delivers complete extraction
- Highly cost effective (especially for those outside the US)
Overall I would recommend these if you have an Air Core or O rings & don't mind a bit of length (or can cut it down). I have no regrets as being 12,000km away it is good to have backup stems.
- A bit loose in fitting but can certainly be fixed with a suitable O ring
- Is as long as the D/D stem so pretty long
As for the cost of a UD @P.A.M. it is all relative. I don't believe there is a better value desktop on offer than a holiday special. The only addition you would want to buy is pack or two of screens as backup. The simple reality is that a Mini is a fun toy to compliment a "big dog" not the other way round.
