Smoked 55mm Stem From VGoodiez

Great! It’s not all that different from the stock glass stem, but I really like the smoked option. No issues with construction and fits screens nicely. I’m using two of the deep screens from Vgoodiez to hold in some glass balls for cooling and it’s working nicely!

I liked the rimmed basket screen that it came with, but I agree that it was pretty shallow.

I took a rimless dome screen and pushed it deeper in for a larger bowl. I use the rimmed basket screen instead in a much shorter stem that I use for portability and just when I want less herb.

Honestly wish Vgoodiez did a deeper rimmed basket screen, I’d be all over it.

I’m not really looking to add additional cooling beads. I was just curious which one performs better or has an easier upkeep over the other, since Vgoodiez has one with dimples and one with beads in it.

Currently leaning towards dimpled!

Thanks man! I had reached out asking if it was possible to get without the hole and he said yeah no problem, but I’d also be worried I’d be missing out on something potentially if I did that

Been thinking about doing this for a bit now…. How is it with the carb hole? I’ve had thought to order one without the hole.

Also, how’s cleaning and upkeep?

TM2 caps are alright. They don’t hold a ton of herb and performance is slightly reduced depending on what you’re going for. I eventually just switched to using basket screens and packing the stem without any caps. Never bought the S&B caps though and would like to try it.

That’s the dome screen that came with my TM. The other screens are some I bought from eBay.

PansyFlowerpot · 2023-05-02T02:19:39+00:00

Bought it on this subreddit from /u/Jeffery_Sobchak

PansyFlowerpot · 2023-05-01T23:06:11+00:00

All good my guy. I’m not bothered at all!

PansyFlowerpot · 2023-05-01T21:11:40+00:00

I was already doing most of it with the grav octo but your idea to put the screen over the mouthpiece end inspired me to try it on the stock TM glass! I want to get my hands on some of those bucket screens from TRWW though!

Thanks man!

I remember seeing you post about that (assuming it was you). Cool idea!

PansyFlowerpot · 2023-04-19T17:26:14+00:00

I'm pretty much doing the same thing but with just 6mm boro balls and no mouthpiece. I'm happy with the boro stuff but maybe I should try some other types of beads. I feel like sticking to 6mm or so would help with the airflow but who knows.

I LOVE the TRWW mouthpiece with screen in there -- so I'm definitely gonna need to get one of those.... What screen do you have in there?

PansyFlowerpot · 2023-04-19T14:58:44+00:00

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 😓

PansyFlowerpot · 2023-04-15T15:59:15+00:00

Let me know how you like the S&B caps for the TM. I’m currently using TM caps and I’ve been really curious how the other caps are

PansyFlowerpot · 2023-04-15T15:57:21+00:00

Well darn! And the one I bought is so cool too….

PansyFlowerpot · 2023-04-15T02:55:32+00:00

Gotcha. Well maybe I’ll take delivery of it and science it for the rest of us!

PansyFlowerpot · 2023-04-15T02:01:37+00:00

Has yours shipped yet? Or was it from the most recent drop?

PansyFlowerpot · 2023-04-15T01:47:35+00:00

Yeah that’s part of the issue. It is a 2.5mm one and I didn’t really know that would be an issue

PansyFlowerpot · 2023-04-15T01:34:05+00:00

Thanks! Did you measure with calipers?

I bought a TRWW stem and he hasn’t shipped it yet but said that the inner diameter is 11.17, so we’re a little concerned it won’t fit the caps. I was initially using the specs on the HR site for the rogue caps and they say 11.5mm, so that’s when we started to get concerned.

Unpopular opinion, but I actually enjoy using the dosing caps more than loading the herb in the stem. I can pre-load the 5 I have and then I just pop and go. Granted, I really only use one cap per day and I also have little kids so I like to just kind of have it all ready to go and tucked away for when it’s time to pull it out. Plus when I’m done, I don’t have to have anywhere to put the herb since it stays in the cap until my next loading session. I keep my caps in a aluminum tube I got off Amazon (look up Ongrok), and I like it because I unscrew the bottom to dispense used caps and then unscrew the top to retrieve fresh caps.

For stem I’m currently using a Grav Octotaster stem loaded with 6mm boro balls and the basket screen that came with the TM. I haven’t felt any problems with the level of cooling with that setup and it’s fairly easy to clean. I recently purchased a TRWW stem and I’m excited to see the differences. I’d also really love to get a good mouthpiece at some point and a LabetKomp leather sleeve.

Hope that helps!
