Discontinued Thermovape Cera

Still not getting 'clouds' (like anywhere near to it) from this vape. Whats the trick? Just limitations of a portable? It takes many many cycles and sessions and lots of time to even get to 'light brown' herb. How do I get 1 good hit and not have to spend 30 mins of hitting it over and over to get anywhere?

Read manual, read the "3 steps", tried puffs, slow draws. Lots of heat, 60s+ of on time, etc. And why was the button put in such an awkward/hard to use/hold place, how did that get through beta? People do have to push and hold that for minutes at a time, it could really be done better for the end-user experience.

Any LL owners have some tips? Maybe I've just learned 'pens' aren't going to do flower the way I expect/want. Time to just build a battery powered Log maybe...


Videos would be great, the 1 or 2 on YT are pretty worthless for showing technique; or are for EO.

Edit: Just tried a few hits (back to back) but left the button / heat on between exhales. Seem to be getting some light wispy vapor now. So, more like 120s+ of on/heat time. Worried about coil and battery longevity with that technique however. Are these batteries designed for such high, long duration loads? Not too familiar with them. Are they similar to nicad electric remote control car batteries? Where you can run them straight for ~10-15 minutes until depleted?

Yes, I think that indeed you may be just discovering that Cera is not going to work the way you expect. It's not designed to, I think, I suggest it's not going to change. Any useful change has to come on your end?

Having built a "battery powered log vape" (actually 3 different battery pack for my PD) I can tell you while that's possible Cera will blow the doors off any such scheme when running as it's designed to. I now use the battery packs to charge and run (in PA mode) my Solos. By all means try if you want, PM me if I can offer any advice there.

You seem to be getting some useful results, I suggest you follow them.

Yes, the design includes running much longer than two minutes. In fact, if you're constantly cooling the core off between hits that could be part of the problem. In Beta testing I ran 20 minutes and more, to the point it became near impossible to hang onto it.

As to how such features as the switch, so obviously wrong as you see it, came to be and how incompetent we Beta testers must be I refer you to the hundreds of posts on just that topic in the appropriate threads. You'll also find a host of 'work around solutions' to this "problem".

Lots of excellent reading available, it should I think give all the necessary answers.

Good luck with it. As a tip I suggest dropping your preconceptions about how it should work and follow how it does work.......hundreds of happy owners have. Cera LL can do an outstanding job, many of us consider it the best available WRT taste, extraction efficiency and purity. But it takes skill and understanding. For 'no brainer vape' duty I think there are better choices. It is definitely not 'a vape for the masses', but rather the vape aficionado ?

I would hold my button ON the entire time I was doing a session. Dont let off for exhales or for any reason for that matter. I would grind FINE (mflb style) and pack lightly. I would preheat for 30 seconds and then slowly draw on it about 2 times for 15 seconds a piece. After this I would puff it until I saw visible vapor and would be good to go. My ABV was dark brown by the time I was done.

Thanks, this is what should be made more obvious in instructions then: HOLD button ON for the duration of the session. [However, my 'session' usually is 1 hit on a plugin Log..so, I dunno if thats worded well either..and maybe why I was confused with the process in the first place.] And ("Don't let off the throttle for any reason!") is indeed good advice. ;)

I was indeed turning off between hits due to fear of battery/coil/chamber/device heat.

Thanks guys.

Dont ever worry about damaging your cera. Unless you plan on using it as a weapon or just throwing it at the ground constantly I dont think you have anything to worry about. They are built to last just like the T1's.

The only thing youll need to keep on top of is the temp of the actual unit itself while your using it, I say this for YOUR safety, not the cera's, heat that baby up for 30 min if you want and Im sure itll be fine but I dont recommend it. There was a time or two when the cera would get just a little too hot for my lips but its not going to leave a blister or anything like that.

first you have to know or better learn how long your coil needs to heat up... if you mastered this you should now when after pressing the button the coil is glowing aND WHEN YOU HAVE TO BEGIN TO DRAW... then draw very very very slow... until you get vapor (some puff on it like on a cigar until they see vapor) if you see vapor your bowl should have the right temp. now you can release the button of the cera between draws (and dont forget it needs a little time that the coil glows again) and if you don t use it for a longer time you have to start that hole process) ... by the way before filling up the bowl i take the cap down and push the button until the coil glews then i insert herb in the bowl and put the cap on and start) and also experiment with the amount of herb used... ground, unground and so on...

I only got really good satisfying results using a MFLB super fine grind, which is what I would recommend.

Hello,
I love the Cera and have nothing but praise. 'Wondering if any of you could point me to some relevant pages as far as it comes to interesting tricks people do with their Cera, for the sake of not having to desperately scroll through 295 pages. :)

Here is a pic of the little plastic grommet I spoke of earlier in my last post. Super comfy now just resting on the inside pinky finger. I'm a righty and I can even hold it in my left without a problem. There is a slight adhesive on it but it wipes right off and for some reason this little plastic Cera-Tunnel-Syndrome saver will stay put with just a lick and stick. I love the Cera as is without any extreme mods (I love the mods I've seen though in the forum) I just think TET made it like that for a reason. AWESOME!

Don't you wish? There are also several closed threads on Cera which IMO also have useful insights spread over a long time. All together I'm sure there's more like 1000 pages, probably more?

Over the falls, in a barrel
Just got both my Ceras back from a trip back to Cali. I'd had intermittent issues with the liquid cart ever since I got it (purchased used and it had seen some oil usage in its past life). Right around the time I decided to get the liquid cart rebuilt, my LL cart started failing to fire intermittently and making an interesting hissing/sizzling sound on occasion (I swear it wasn't wet :hmm:). So off they both went, along with the bodies and switches for a checkup.

First thing I did after opening the package was take a peek inside the liquid cart and WOW… That ceramic is white. I mean really white… It's beautiful… It used to be black as night.

Then I fired it up for a second and whoa, this thing glows?? I never saw a bit of glowing before, and now I can see it light up even under a fluorescent light. Looking good…!

So, on to the point. That cart is working so much better now!! It's feels completely different. It gets going in under a second and produces way more vapor right off the bat. And, the flavor is improved. The way the heat-up time has been cut down is definitely going to help a lot with battery life too.

Thanks TET.

Over the falls, in a barrel
After having had the Cera liquid cart (hereafter 'ELC') running properly for 5 days, I thought I'd offer a more in-depth review. I dropped the snus and used this cart as my daily driver from the moment that I got it back. I used to go through about a pack of snus (with 20 portions) in 5 or 6 days, which is a not-insignificant amount of nicotine. I've been planning on lowering my nicotine concentration in the juice over time (more on that in a bit). For now it's been replacing the snus 1-for-1, so I feel like I've put it through its paces and gotten to know 'the new Cera' pretty well.


Power:

It's still running just as great as described in my first post. I should clarify that the glow that I saw, while impressive, is something that only happens when the cart is bone dry. Maybe it's a nice test to see how the cart is functioning after a cleaning and drying, maybe, but not something to look for in a loaded cart. It sure was a strong indicator of the performance that this cart is now capable of, though. It's really packing some quick, powerful heat.

I'm always attentive to the 'feeling' of using a vape, in terms of your relationship to the power of the heat application, on both a logical and a direct, muscular level. I'm thinking of the manual, technique-based feel of vapes like the Cera's loose leaf cart or the MFLB, here.

I envision it as being akin to the feel that a real car enthusiast might have when using a gas pedal, or turning at speed. You get a sense of becoming closer with the machinery, and in unique ways for different quality cars, as with different quality vapes. The tool can become an extension of yourself, and the power exerted by the tool may even come to feel as if it flows directly from you.

Continuing the analogy (this is dangerous; I am not actually a car enthusiast…), the ELC feels like a drag racer. High speed and high acceleration. Horse power, and torque? This newfound power has actually quickly made a certainty of my move toward less mg/ml in my next liquid purchase.

(Am I the only one who doesn't really like the term 'juice' here? Makes me think of steroids or something…)


Proper and Improper Dripping:

The performance has been consistent for the vast majority of the time. You do have to learn the optimal drip timing, as well as the optimal drip 'dosage', in order to get consistent maximum performance. This changed significantly from the timing/dosage that I'd used pre-rebuild, but I've already gotten a much better feel for it after a few days' experience.

Before the rebuild, I'd get gurgling after more than 2 or 3 drops. I believe this was due to clogged pores in the ceramic. The gurgling would significantly hamper vapor production, and eventually seemed to be 'fatal', necessitating a boiling to restore performance. I don't think I ever really went 5 days without boiling it to 'fix it' before.

I think that its prior inability to recover without a boiling was maybe due to oil baked onto the heating coil. I figure that could cause a potentially significant decrease in the amount of heat produced, meaning an inability to vape out the loose juice below the plate. At least, not without seriously long periods of heating… Now, I can easily add three drops at a time without any issue. Four drops sometimes causes a little gurgle.

My original thought was that this gurgle was coming from air bubbling through excess juice at the bottom of the cart, under the ceramic plate. I now believe that it actually comes from excess juice being thick enough to end up pooling above the ceramic plate, at the bottom of the 'tunnel' that is the inside of the mouth of the cart.

Besides impeding airflow, the gurgling can even splash juice all the way up the tunnel and out of the mouthpiece if you're pulling hard enough… Which you might easily end up doing after feeling the gurgle for the first time and instinctively pulling harder to get the airflow you're used to.


Recovering from an Over-fill:

With my now properly functioning cart, I've found that you can fully recover from 'the gurgle state' through a combination of keeping the vape flat/straight out from your mouth and occasionally 'dipping down' from horizontal. This maintains proper airflow (no gurgle) for the first (horizontal) part of your pull, and the occasional dips from horizontal let the excess juice soak down into the ceramic in small amounts, replacing what you're vaping in the first part of your hit…

After doing that a few times, the cart seems to clear up and return to normal performance after you get back to a proper dripping interval. I'm real pleased about this, as I hated having to boil the thing and then wait for it dry, and so often.

One time I did become a bit concerned when I took a slow pull and the vapor tasted really bitter. It didn't taste like a dry pull sort of bitter. My theory is that in this instance I might have actually ended up with juice below the ceramic plate, due to a combination of dripping too much and taking only one hit before putting it in my pocket and carrying it around, without clearing the excess juice right away. I'm guessing that this excess juice would end up real close to the coil and could maybe 'burn' a bit if you took a long, slow pull.

I decided to try recovering the cart from this state by taking small mouth pulls while very lightly pulsing the heat, only puffing and not pulling any of it into my lungs. That seemed to do the trick, and its performance and flavor is completely back to normal now. In fact, just before writing this post I had a really nice session with it; the kind where every pull is perfect, thick-and-flavorful, and I end up really pausing to marvel at how different the vape is now…


Drip Tips:

On the subject of drip tips, I should mention that I tried the two-piece SS/delrin drip tip mentioned earlier in the thread. It's called the Rameses, by Smok-e Mountain. It's got a delrin bottom and a stainless steel top. I'd had high hopes for it as I'd been looking for a stainless steel drip tip to match the SS in the Cera, and the delrin bottom seemed like a great idea to keep heat from spreading (though the cart has never gotten hot like it used to pre-rebuild!).

It ended up not working out for me, unfortunately. I personally didn't like the stainless steel top-half. I found the mouth to be far too wide for my liking. I wasn't concerned about that, because I figured I could find another stainless tip and plug that into the delrin bit. Unfortunately that didn't work out either, because that delrin bit doesn't quite mate right in the cart. It sits a bit proud, and wiggles laterally. this makes it really easy to knock off in your pocket. The reason here, I think, is that the o-ring is a bit too large for a Cera cart. I tried replacing it with one of TET's o-rings, but the slot in the delrin is too deep and it ends up not gripping in the cart.

Fortunately, this glass/stainless mouthpiece from ebay that was linked in the Luna thread, a clone of the "Stainless Steel Pyrex Silencer by Innovape", ended up being really great (Thanks @ShayWhiteGrow). Here's an image link in case the ebay listing goes down. I had it on-hand already when I got the vape back from TET, and I used it exclusively right from the start. It feels just great. Unfortunately I broke it after only 3 days of use…

I went back to the stock mouthpiece after that, and then really noticed how much better I liked that glass mouthpiece. It accentuates the feel of the vapor, and the airflow feels nicer, and the feel of the mouthpiece on your lips is of course excellent in comparison to delrin. So I upgraded it to mission critical status and ordered 2 more. Gotta have a backup for that sort of thing. I'll be more careful with them now…


Conclusion:

Back to the vape itself. I give the Cera liquid cart full marks. My only caveat in recommending it to just anyone looking for an e-cig would be that it is a dripping type system rather than a tank system.

Now, the 'ceramic reservoir' inside is noticeable to me in this rebuilt cart. I can tell how sometimes I'll vape it so it's just a bit on the dry side, set it down for a bit, come back to it, and notice that it seems to have a bit more juice it. This gives the feeling of a large, hidden 'secondary wick' inside the cart that can both draw-from and feed-to the primary wick at the bottom. Which is, I think, how it works…

Still, it remains a dripper even though it probably doesn't have to be dripped as often as most. I'm fine with this; I'm fairly enamored with the thing. I like switching up flavors often, too, which I'm pretty sure would be harder with a tank system. It has to be mentioned, though, because I know there are all types of e-cigs out there, and I believe tanks or clearos are perhaps the most often recommended type for beginners? I don't have a deep knowledge of e-cigs in general, yet. This one, though, is great.

Hello all,

I called Thermo Essence and the automated message said to send an e-mail to sales@thermovape.com. I sent that on June 1st and haven't received a reply. I called and left a message asking them to call me back (two weeks ago), still nothing.

How do I get a hold of them? I'm not accustomed to this kind of behaviour so I'm unsure how to proceed. Should I contact every department with a human until I get someone who can process this?

In case anyone was wondering, managed to get a hold of them and sent it off.

Excellent review :clap:

A few points I think are worth mentioning:

I noticed a difference in how many drops I could put into my AVA when using 100% VG compared to 100% PG. Both ends of the spectrum need a slight change in technique but it became automatic.

Yeah, replaceable atomizer head stuff is used the most by beginners, almost everyone I know that uses drippers is an advanced user that knows what they're doing. I've seen a few people at my local shop that go in just to get new coils for their RDA's. It's a couple bucks but I don't know if they actually know how to do it themselves, maybe just want the big clouds. :shrug:

Sorry to hear the Rameses didn't work for you :( I purchased mine at the above shop so I had a chance to try a few on before purchasing. I'm going to go in on one of those glass drip tips soon as I'm done with this post!

Thanks very much.

You're right about the effect that juice consistency has on the proper dripping technique; I meant to mention that. I've got seven juices in rotation right now (went a little overboard), and among those I've got:
  • One at 100% VG
  • Two at 50/50 PG/VG
  • One at 70/30 PG/VG
  • 3 that didn't advertise or allow customization of the ratio
What can I say, I wanted to get a feel for the spectrum… This raises an interesting point: that I'm switching between these very often without running the thing totally dry or cleaning it, and yet I haven't had trouble from it. It's really great that the cart can recover from a slight over-dripping so nicely and easily.

No worries on the Rameses, it was a pretty big gamble on my part given the high price and my inability to try before buying. If any of the regulars around here want to try it (on an AVA or something other than a Cera), or if you'd like an extra to keep around, I'd be happy to mail it out at no cost. Just send me a PM. It's a neat design, deserves a home where it can be put to use.

I'm pretty sure you'll like that stainless-pyrex-silenced-inno-vapo-thingamabob.

BTW, I've gotta thank you for mentioning Indigo Vapor in some juice thread, somewhere, at some point. I've tried flavors from 4 or so vendors and those Indigo tobacco flavors are my favorite so far, really great stuff.

Bad news on the glass mouthpieces I've been talking about. I got the latest ones that I ordered and the production tolerance on the fit seems to be pretty wide. One of the new ones I got fits but loosely, and the other just falls right out… Maybe the originals from Innovape are more consistent, but I have no idea what size they aim for and I can't recommend people buy them blindly without trying one on in a store first.

Bummer. Any chance a thicker o-ring will save the day?

Otherwise, now about a few turns of PTFE tape on the MP OD to bulk it up?

Ecig community also likes wrapping dental floss around the notch to help with mildly loose drip tips.

I've also used dental floss for such 'Oakie shimming' projects but never around heat. Your mouth doesn't get all that hot......usually. The wax used is a minor issue, but the fibers are not IMO. Try heating some, some seem OK, others easily melt, even catching fire. Fun test, that, I ended up with a very fast burning, stinking candle.......which I quickly discarded.

We've had folks melt plastic drip tips, right?

PTFE, OTOH, is just fine at the worst temperatures we'll likely see.

Dental floss is better than nothing I guess, but IMO not as good a recommendation from a materials standpoint. While dental floss is easy to find, 'plumber's tape' is also easy to find and cheap.

This may be a silly question, but I've recently (and finally after waiting for oh so long) acquired the Cera EO Ti, and I haven't been able to get my hands on any nice concentrates since I'm not back home with my medical-card-carrying roommate. I caved, bought some E-Liquid, and have been dropping two to three drips of the stuff in my EO cartidge. It's been operating fine, however the Ceramic is a tad bit stained. This isn't a big deal... right?

Kind of late to ask, isn't it? Since you're asking, I would not have done it if I wanted to enjoy the cleanest EO use later on. Those 'stains' are there for good I think. Burnt on 'juice' isn't going to rinse out of the porous ceramic reservoir.

I'm not a juice user, but when I asked 'the guys' at TV about it I was told it was a bad idea to switch horses as it were. It's your call, it is your property after all, but my advice FWIW is not to.

Even the best oil will still stain the ceramic after prolonged use. I wouldn't worry about it. And as far as the Ejuice is concerned, as long as you don't mind the residual after taste of ejuice you'll be fine. Personally I would clean it (iso/boil) before loading up good oil. But it is not necessary, it will just let you taste the oil better.

Any news on thread adapters yet?
I just got a new 50 watt box mod that fires down to 0.2ohm and it would be a perfect candidate to run the Cera attachments on.
I could make my own adapter, but would still prefer a factory option.

We have had no news on anything in so long from Thermovape, it is starting to seem like they aren't even in the game anymore. I know these things take time but the Luna has been out for a bit and we have had ZERO updates on anything.

I still love everything Thermovape so please don't take this comment negatively. It is just a little unsettling when the manufacturer(who was always active on here in the past) just disappears completely from the forum
