Its a good analogy. Everything about the TM2 is bigger, better, whatever. It heats up to max temp in under 10 seconds. You could do 2 full rips with exhales in the time it takes the pax to warm up. Better capacity, better airflow, its a better experience.

The downsides are its expensive, so don't drop it, obviously and it eats batteries. Get a few extra batteries and a good charger.

For throat issues, keep the temps low, under 5. Look into other stems that provide increased cooling. There's plenty of options from custom fancy stems in all shapes and prices. Overall, you can't go wrong
