A spacer makes a gap between your load and the heater, helping prevent combustion.
2mm is the smallest gap, 5mm the largest. The mixed pack lets you try all three.
Reusable borosilicate glass you can clean and use again.

Start with 2mm, or try the mixed pack.

Place a spacer in the chamber end of your stem, below your load.

Fill the stem as normal and heat as usual.

Soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse and dry fully. Use a spare in the meantime.
Stems and your Arizer device are not included.

Review of Desktop Glass Stem
Unit is great. Thinking of ordering another one.
Review of Desktop Glass Stem
As you can see I've crammed loads of stuff into this amazingly versatile storage solution. I'll probably get a couple more at some point.
Review of Pick Tool and Tamper
Brilliant and useful. The scraper (tiny tiny spoon) is really good for scraping out rimmed baskets (TM2). The sharp pointy thing also useful.

Exactly what was needed to keep glass stems available and safe

2mm is the smallest gap and usually enough. 5mm is the largest, for a cooler, gentler heat. Read ArGo backspacers explained: 2mm vs 3mm vs 5mm.
It sits in the chamber between your load and the heater, so the material isn't pressed against the heat. That helps prevent scorching.
So you have spares while the others soak in isopropyl alcohol.
