This worked well. This plus the Tera exchange to another less funky one. I left the gaskets out in the direct sun on a very dry day all day. It sucked all the funk right out. Probably could do it with an oven too. Low heat for 8+ hours.
Thanks!

I fogot to ask you about the screen replacement...
About the S&B plenty reducer botton fine mesh screen you used for the bottom of the bowl... did it fit without any modification?
@LesPlenty
I missed this post. Cool! You got rid of the smell!
Can you please detail your vinegar and bicarb ratio mix? I'd like to do the same.
I received my replacement Tera earlier in the week but have not had a chance to clean or defunkify it
How long did you leave it out in the sun...
Boundless sent me a replacement for my first Tera. As much as i tried, I could not get rid of the chemical smell/taste despite multiple cleanings and burn-offs. And I could not get myself to smoke anything out of it because of the taste and smell. Boundless recommended using the Tera to...
I have both the Tera v3 and the Argo. The Argos definitely easier to carry. The Tera has the quicker heating. The air way restriction is about the same between the two.
From my experience with activated carbon, it won't accelerate the extraction of whatever is causing the smell. It'll only remove the smell that has already been released from the material. Im interested. Let me know how that works out.
I have done that. Doesn't seem to work as the smell comes right back.

Further investigating the smell and taste...
There are 4 screws holding the bottom plate of the device in place. I removed the plate and...
Ping Boundless directly.

On a separate note:
I've been trying to accelerate getting rid of the chemical smell. Slower than expected.
Its definitely coming from inside the device itself. Somewhere along the air path...
I like the inverted WPA mod the best, but find the airway in the WPA to be restrictive. That narrow passage is tiny!
FYI,
Got this from Boundless:
"We usually recommend conducting a burn off by heating the unit to max temperature. Also, once you pack the bowl it normally takes it completely...
Can anyone share the how-to for the other mod. The mod with the glass mouthpiece removal. WPA with Solo 2 stem mod airflow is restrictive. Only because of the adapter.

The airway in the adapter mod is restrictive. There's that choke point contained in the adapter itself.
Isn't there another mod where the airway is more wide open utilizing this piece?

Finally...this worked for me.
Hopefully, you can see your photo I posted below.
So, the black gasket shown in your photo, below, is the original black gasket pushed inside the inverted adapter and tucked in snug around the edges.
Got it! Worked well. Practical...functional.
