    Heaviest hitting

    I feel like at a certain point it’s like a car with so much power that it can never hook up. My lungs are the limiting factor, and I want to be able to vape every day indefinitely so better not to let the tolerance get too high. :myday:

    Arizer Solo 3

    my Solo 3 showed up last night. Wasted no time removing the glass screen of the regular WPA with a diamond bit dremel and did multiple burn offs. I did detect a slight odor of assembly lube (?) when I first inspected the bowl, but this did dissipate with the burn offs, and was undetectable...

    Arizer Solo 3

    oof, thank you for this feedback. I have a Solo 3 on the way, so I'm hoping you either are a super-smeller, or that you were unlucky enough to receive a flawed unit. thought for sure Arizer would have sorted the air/vapor path issues by now, after like 10+ years on the market and multiple...

    Sorry, but you’re doing it wrong. Thing is capable of massive, fairly devastating hits. Keep at it. Try torching a little lower on the heater as opposed to the tip. I don’t use the torch anymore with my TA3 but it definitely works as a heavy

    I also feel like it is much more of a hybrid experience than a pure convection device such as the MiniVAP or ZX. (mV can also be a hybrid if you direct load, but that’s not how I use it) Metal bowl gets too hot to touch, flavor changes noticeably, and the effects are subtly different. To some...

    I hear you on the only the dirty/oily balls tip. That is a hazard of inverted heating. I’ll try to mitigate by tamping, hopefully won’t have to clean me balls for a while

    several sessions in with the wand, I don't think I'll be torching much anymore. I was under the impression that the wand was maybe somewhat underpowered for this application? mine certainly isn't. I started at 800*F and it charred the load somewhat fierce (intake holes wide open). I've...

    Here I’ve been leaving my TA3 wide open, so that’s another thing for me to play with

    Dang it, I tried using the lotus bowl but couldn’t get it to fit. I have a bunch of o rings, I’ll try again. Chasing my tail a bit with this thing. I guess that’s what I get for basically ignoring this whole class of vape after trying the dv when it came out… My Wand just showed up too, so I...

    Thanks for this reply! Care to comment on the draw resistance with the revolve + TA? As I mentioned, I don’t enjoy MTL cigar style puffs

    I have made a bunch of progress with my TA3. after pushing the screen down to expand the bowl and getting a better feel for the torch, I'm having great results. I prefer using unground herb with the TA and I usually get like 4-6 great hits. abv is dark brown through and through and I can...

    Ok, I do occasionally like killing a bowl in one draw. But only with a very small amount at a time. I do this occasionally with the ZX, but when I do that I reload at least twice. I cant crush an entire “dose” in one draw. I’ve started trying to avoid any discomfort when I take a hit. I...

    I agree with the notion that crushing a bowl n one hit isn’t feasible, for me anyway, and I run 10+ miles a week and exercise every day. Even if I manage to get it all in my lungs, it can’t all be absorbed. And I’m probably going to vape for the rest of life so preserving my lungs is important...

    Thanks @General Disaster for reminding me that I can just push the screen down to expand the bowl. I’m still a noob with this thing I’m going to wait until this evening to try filling to capacity. This thing gets me stoned

    I have an OG glass dv and the TA3 fits that perfectly. So I just used some silicon hose around the other end of the glass dv stem for a makeshift wpa to mate with my 14mm hook :rofl: I think I might try one of those glass ddave dv wand/wpa

    I also received my TA3 and have used it a few times. I’m using some random accessories I have lying around to mate it to a j hook. J hook is my preferred method for nearly everything. First impressions are quite good. Bowl is a little smaller than I thought, for some reason, which turns out to...

    Yeah, I saw that. Guess I’m just ocd and would like a cleaner fit. I’ll live

    I’m thinking about picking up a wand to use with the TA, mostly since I’ll be sharing with friends and want it to be easier for them to get the best results. I notice many of you wand users have a wooden insert to make the TA fit in more nicely. Is that something I can buy? Does it come with...
