All glass
Nothing but glass between the oven and you.
Easy to carry
About 75mm long, so it suits a pocket kit.
Take out the old stem
Pull your current glass stem straight up and out of the top of your LOBO or ONE. With the stem out, it's a good time to fit a fresh brass screen.
Push the new stem in
Push this stem straight down into the same opening on top until it sits snugly. No twisting needed.
Heat and draw
Set your temperature as usual and draw slowly.
Clean and swap
Soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water and let it dry fully before refitting.

Good but the stainless steel is better

Slim Clear or Slim Steel?
Both are slim bead stems. The Slim Clear is all glass and sold singly. The Slim Steel uses steel balls, comes as a pair and some customers find it cools a touch more.
How do I clean a bead stem?
Soak the whole stem in isopropyl alcohol and give it a gentle shake so it reaches between the beads. Rinse well with warm water and let it dry fully. Don't push brushes into the beads. More in our bead stem cleaning guide.
Does the Slim Clear stem fit both the Lobo and the ONE?
Yes. It's made for the Planet of the Vapes Lobo and ONE and fits the same way on both. See the Made for tab.
Do I still need a screen?
Yes. Keep a screen in your Lobo or ONE so loose material can't get into the stem. Our 9.8mm brass screens are made for the Lobo.
What temperature should I use on the Lobo?
The Lobo runs from 160 to 221°C. Start low for flavour and work up in small steps; a cooling stem keeps higher settings smoother. See our best temperature ranges for the Lobo.
Is the Slim Clear stem an official Planet of the Vapes product?
No. It's designed and sold by The Vapetrix and made to fit Planet of the Vapes devices.
