So I just got a Tera 3.0 like a week or so ago, it's pretty amazing. So I replaced every screen with a mesh screen, and made a double screen inside. Replaced the original internal screen and put an internal screen on the heater element.
The major mod I decided to do was cut one of the rubber pieces, cutting off the entire screen part so I could fit an EQ basket inside. No, I don't fill the EQ basket, it's used as a spacer to half fill the bowl ish. I've found that if you don't keep a certain pack, it doesn't run well.
I also drilled out the bottom air holes and put a screen there as well, so the obvious CFV mods basically.
So far there needs to be MORE airflow, and I think the plastic mouth piece has some drag in there too. The batteries last forever, like 6+ sessions easily.
The bowl can comfortably share with two people, and if you cut down the mouth piece rubber, slap a screen inside and put in an EQ basket... It's like a perfect small bowl. Nice for kief bowls. Leave out the EQ basket and you've got a BIGGER bowl.....
All in all the Tera seems to be all the answers to the CFV minus the airflow. =( Ugh I'm talking like a few mm more, like a FEW!!!!
One issue I've yet to come up with a clever solution is the inside of the plastic mouth piece. In the CFV you could put a 2nd screen in easy, to ketch/collect oil and block small particulates. The Tera needs a better solution, which just might end up being a small screen. =( I just don't know if it'll be worth it. Maybe a washer, then a screen? Idk it's gonna be a trick.
OOO OOOOO OOOOOOO Planned mod I almost forgot about. So the glass pipe attachment is nice, somewhat. I was doing some thinking, uhoh! I have a good/simple clean mod that'll hopefully make a glass pipe attachment better. After finally using it with a bizzy, the glass on metal kinda sucks. So I was thinking about getting some glass on glass hookah fittings. Take the hose end, and run it to the glass mouthpiece base with the hose from the hookah fitting. Or I'll get some basic glass on glass to hose like this:

See where I'm going with this? I think that would have been a much better solution.
That should cover everything I've experienced with these so far. The only possible mod I'd think about is a 20700 mod, but that would really be pushing the housing, hahaha. I'd have to do some actual dremel work, and sadly my CFV work has stopped for now. New toy, hahaha. I think the CFV is much more personal, it's a nice "me" setup. It barley shares for 2, and with the EQ baskets it's a PERFECT single mod. It also gets a bit hotter, however the Tera performs very adequately and with a lot more to get out of it.
I'll see what more can be modded/tweaked but they did a dang good job on this device.
