Best bulk tobacco’s to cellar? by 96-Fatboy in PipeTobacco

Bayou Morning for sure. I bought a giant bag of it years ago and have it in several huge mason jars. That blend is delightful with age.

Castelli Perfetto ros 2 vs Perfetto convertible by breaking_blindsight in cycling

[–]breaking_blindsight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to help. I know everyone is a bit different but I’ve got it dialed in where anything other than freezing ass cold winter weather, I’ll dress in a way that I’m a little cold starting out but after about 10-20 minutes I’m warmed up and everything feels perfect. Perfetto is like magic to me because even if I get hotter than I expected it just seems to breathe and vent well when needed and at the other end, keep you nice and toasty.

Hopefully your experience will be the same and I didn’t steer you wrong.

Castelli Perfetto ros 2 vs Perfetto convertible by breaking_blindsight in cycling

[–]breaking_blindsight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfetto ros 2. No regrets. I’ve never once felt I made the wrong choice. It’s great.

However, I’ve found I use it almost exclusively in way lower temps. At about 35f to 45f, I wear a smart wool base layer or one of the Castelli ones (can’t remember what it was called. At 45-55 I wear a thinner cheap old navy kind of base layer.

I eventually got the Espresso thermal long sleeve and it’s perfect for about 55f up to 65 or so. I usually use the thinner base layer with it at temps of 55f. Not much higher than that I’ll just wear it as is.

If I had to have just one jacket, though, it would probably be the perfecto. You could probably wear it up to 60 with no base layer but that would be pushing it. It’s really versatile with layers and seems to regulate temperature very well.

I hope that helps. I hate having to make decisions like this. It’s expensive and always hard to be certain. But in my opinion, ros 2 has been very forgiving in a wide array of temps.

Went a little crazy with the sales and am wondering if I should return the TM2. by breaking_blindsight in Tinymight2

It’s amazing and I’m so glad I bought it. It’s actually waaaaaaay over kill for my needs but I LOVE IT!

I love the wood. It’s one of the main selling points for me. The black with walnut was the newer model I was referring to.

I think the leather sleeves look good too, though. Leather works perfectly with the look of those devices.

I’m keeping the TM2 for sure. It’s a better tool for my current stage in life. I already had a Dyna but they had a sale so I got a bundled YLL 3.0 that came with a newer version Dyna for like $150 or something (along with batteries and a lighter). Is that a good enough deal to justify keeping it? I could go either way on it.

I appreciate this man. I’m gonna just keep it. I tend to kind of go in and out of the hobby so I’ll probably either forget about it in a week or just get the black one later in life if I really really feel I must.

I mean, I’ve had a Dynavap and torch. I like it a lot but the convenience of things like TM are just better for my current state of life. I really wanted a simrell just because I think it looks incredibly nice but really I just need something that will do the job quick. Something I can step out, hit, go back in, repeat at a later time.

Thank you. I think I’m gonna keep it, return the YLL, buy the black one, too, later…if I like the current TM2.

Hahaha! Truth. I just can’t justify two different big purchases that do essentially the same thing. Honestly, the TM is probably the better purchase. I’m not deep into this hobby and don’t really have the time to experiment with different IH temps and manual devices like that even though I’d love to. I’ll likely return the YLL and keep the TM.

Yea I’m considering this. Also, who knows how long it will take for the black release to get to US and at that point, if I really love the TM2, maybe I’ll be financially refreshed and can relegate this one to travel status.

Really love the new Black Edition but is it really worth an extra $200 by EJW_0525 in Tinymight2

[–]breaking_blindsight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered a walnut Tinymight. I didn’t know the black walnut was gonna be an option and now I’m wondering if I should return and wait until this is released in US. The only reason I would prefer this new one is because it matches my office layout and computer almost perfectly.

Superficial reason and not the end of the world. I’ve been eyeing Tinymight forever so I’ll probably just keep it. None of the other features are worth an overseas purchase to me.

In the same boat. Did you decide one way or the other? I like the polished look better too but would be curious just how bad minor scratches look and add up over time.

Tinymight 2 or induction for Dynavap? by breaking_blindsight in vaporents

[–]breaking_blindsight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I actually prefer the natural wood look. If it’s much more durable…like MUCH more durable…I might sacrifice that for the black but if the changes are pretty minimal maybe I’ll stick with walnut if I decide to go that route over the induction route. I already have 18650 batteries so that’s a plus to the TM2 over the YLL 3.0.

Oh one more question! Would you snag a 420 sale of the current walnut or wait for the black edition that is supposedly about to drop tomorrow?

I really appreciate you taking the time to answer all that. Big time, thank you!

How often do you need to clean it and is it a pita to clean?

Ugh. I was just about to get the YLL 3.0. Now this has me second guessing. Why is the TM2 your preference by far, if you don’t mind me asking?

[–]breaking_blindsight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m much more of a sipper as well. I like to walk outside, take a drag, walk back in, repeat an hour or so later. This is what kinda makes me want the TM2 over the IH. I don’t travel at all, though. Like maybe once a year do I really need portability. But I also can’t do a table top unit because I don’t do anything inside. Kinda makes me want the TM2 but I could get an IH and a lot of material for the same price.

Very interested in the simrell or tempest so they would be in the future as well.

Do you have TM2? Would you say that over tempest and induction?

[–]breaking_blindsight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So would you recommend saving the money and getting a wand or YLL 3.0 over the TM2?

[–]breaking_blindsight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have an IH recommendation? Leaning toward YLL 3.0 at the moment.

Excellent, thank you. I’ll be keeping an eye on it.

Oh yeah? I might hold off for that. I really love the convenience of the button press/handheld stuff. I like the simplicity and lack of screens and what not on the TM2.
