Actually I never said that either. I never said "with a bed of bud" did I? If so, I didn't intend to.
Bubble and pressed hashes (broken up) can go into Cera as is (no herb needed) since they will not be 'leaking' if your technique is OK.

I just want to share my experience with the Ti Eo cart clean out.
I ran a lot of oil thru my Eo, ounces... after a while the heat up time was taking waaay too long, so I decided to pull it apart and see what's going on in there. Sourcing the correct allen wrench was the hardest part.
I heated it up for 20sec, then removed the 4 screws, then slid the heating element out of the housing.
I could not believe the sludge that was inside! Thin of motor oil that had been in a car for 10k. Hard chunks of stuff burned together. Anyways I torched the top plate and heating element till they were white!
I then cleaned the burnt Crap off the heater wire and reassembled it with zero problems.
I really can't understand how someone could screw this up, the only way I could see that even being possible is if you tightened the screws down soo hard that they crushed through the ceramic wafers and grounded a screw to the heating wire. Mine was Ti, so stripping a screw is a little less likely than with stainless.

Soflo,
that's the cleanest eo cartridge I've seen other than new. Niiice. Cpl of questions:
on the second to last pic which shows the heating element and the tip, relative to the tip, where does the floating wafer reside when all put together? (just on top of the tip held down by the top of the metal rounded opening of the cart?)
in the user manual, it states that there are 4 ceramic rings in the cart. Is the ceramic tower shown in your first pic comprised of these 4 rings ?
thanks

From what I can see, the very top plate is free floating, and just sits on top of the heating element. When you remove the element mine was sitting nicely right on top, I had to push it out of the body with a screwdriver. It was not wedged or jammed in there. The ceramic tower is exactly what you think it is. A ceramic rod in the middle of the ceramic disks stack with a heater wire wrapped around it. It's cool to see how it was made, and I definitely would not try and take the "tower" apart. Ill leave that to the pros. All in all it took maybe 10 min and now the clouds are chasing me!

I mostly just lurk and read what others have to say, but I figured I'd chime in with some news. Last week I sent my Cera in to repair the switch, as well as swap out the old style EL cart for the new one. All I have to say, is man does this thing produce some vapor. I was dissapointed with the old EL Cera cart, it didn't put out near as much vapor as the even older AVA carts did for the original TV line of products, so when I heard these new ones were finally being released, I asked if they were still going to honor what they said months ago about trading out the old for the new ones.
This new cart holds more liquid, and like I said, produces some seriousily thick and abundant vapor with no warm-up time. The flavor is great, I couldn't be happier.
It also looks like they may have rebuilt or at the least cleaned my EO cart while it was there (they asked me to ship the whole unit for a good once-over) as the ceramic looks quite white. I'll fill 'er up shortly and see how she does. Glad to have my precious Cera back, thanks as always, TET!

There isn't a factory adapter yet. That being said there are ways you could make your own adapter. OF and I believe a coupe others have shown their adapters in this thread before, a quick search should turn them up.
If you don't possess the abilities or desire to make your own, you are left waiting it out and hoping someone releases an already made adapter.

@BLAZING OG , what's the viscosity like on that CO2 oil and how does it work in the Cera? Reason I ask is that I'm making my own oils and using the Liquidizer EJ Mix to thin it out to liquid form at room temperature so that it can be used in ecigarette devices (great for stealth btw). Wondering now if it will work in the EO cart or if that type of juice would require the Eliquid cart. I can reduce the EJ mix ratio if needed. Working with and loading ejuice is soooo much easier than wax. Any thoughts if it will work with the EO cart?

@darkrom you had me rolling of laughter, my chaweenie is off limits but I'll see what I can negotiate with my friends pup lol lol Buaaaahahahahshaahha
co2 is lovely, you would dig it.
@Skored
the c02 I got is runny, comes out thick and slow but starts to luquify if left at room temp to long, I had a dab fall off my Dabber.
it works amazing in the cera, I would recommend to not fill the EO with a half gram instead put in like. 3 maybe. 4 and your good to go.
I loaded up a. 6 the first time and had a tiny leak from the bottom, First time that's happened to me.
just load smaller amounts with the c02 and your fine, it saturates the ceramics way easier and starts to vape much faster also do to its thinner consistency.
the c02 was still a bit thicker than pure gold, so not as runny as pure gold.
if I forgot anything let me know? :-)
enjoy!

try Organa Labs website, it shows local dispensaries that carry the product or maybe contact Organa Labs sales rep and see if you can order directly.
I know if your a medical patient you can now order directly from pure gold so Organa Labs might do the same not sure.

Great Scott!
Ehhhh what? You might be able to order since its in CA and you get CA delivery, but as far as I know (and I wish I was wrong) they won't ship to MA.

Fyi there are different viscositys of c02 oil. I have seen them from really runny to pretty thick. I've been using a few different types, the runnier oil is terrible in my cera, it leaks out the bottom like @BLAZING OG has noticed. Even very lightly loaded. On the other hand the thicker oil is absolutely perfect and never leaks, and absorbs really well into the ceramic.

I've been considering doing this as well. I iso-soak and boil my cores normally but they still seem like performance is gradually becoming degraded all around. Problem is, if there's gunk built up in the donut hole, I'm probably not going to be able to get to it and that's just going to annoy me.

SO, I want ot buy a thermovape cera... I have a Ti nail and double perk bong and I haven't hit anything better. Ti nail seems to be the best bang when it comes to smoke production and huge hits. That being said I HATE all of the crap I need to go along with doing it this way. I just want something clean so I tried epens. Garbage. they kind of work kind of don't and I think they are full of poisionous materials. Thermovape has always been out of my price range until recently and I want one but I dont want to be disappointed comparred to a Ti nail. I am 100% outdoors and active. I live in a small box because all do inside is sleep. I want to stop using my bong and use this exclusively for myself. MY issue is I have never tried one andI haven't met one person with one....... I have a real hard time giving somebody 300 bucks on faith their product will work for me. So, that's my dilemma.... I'd buy one if it could do what I hope it does and what everybody says it does. I have read the testimonials but I still have some doubts and I really need to see it for myself.

I was on the fence for a long time on the Cera myself. I already had a TV Revolution, which really is great for full melt concentrates. Problem is the batteries don't last long and it can only really handle small amounts. I ended up buying a used Cera EO in pristine condition and it really rocks. The batteries last much longer and the heating bowl holds a lot more material. Once you master the not difficult technique you will produce dense clouds of some of the cleanest tasting concentrate vapor you can imagine. I think the EO cart is best for oils and full melt while the LL is the choice for pressed hash (i dont have the LL so I can't comment on its usage or technique; OF is the man for that). Downside to Cera is that its larger than pen vapes and resembles a sex toy, even without the "condom" that fits on the tip. But the build quality, design, materials and service are all first rate.

would you choose a cera over a Ti nail?

Yes, in a heart beat. I retired my torch & nail when my Cera arrived. And I haven't looked back.

Nobody can reassure you that you will like a vape... there's always a little faith there. Check out Blazin' OG's youtube page for videos though... Thing hits like a godamn monster.
