Folks, if you feel someone is breaking the rules please try to use the report feature rather than discussing it in the thread. It goes a long way to keeping threads civil and on track.
As usual most of the rules can be distilled into "Be Nice". It's not that difficult to offer constructive criticism without posting in a way that will offend other members.
Edit: A few members were messaged privately regarding reports made. Thank you for helping to keep the thread on track.
@Boden Thanks for posting the teardown photos!

If you get one that doesnt have that issue, it's a beast of a vape. I think thats the risk you take when you try to get a shipment in asap during chinese new year. They want to get home quick as possible while they're told yeah but you need to get this shit out now. I dont think boundless is to blame.

Modnote: If anyone wishes to respond to this or continue the line of discussion please create a new thread for the topic.
Your logic is so flawed it madr me cry. What if I'm a medical user, would they be liable now ? They made this device with the intend of selling it to medical user and legal herb consumer (otherwise it would be illegal), would they be liable for the health harzards of these legit custommer ? How do you spend $200+ and then be afraid to held them liable for sellling you a faulty product ? Seem like a model consumer right there

The only devices certified for medical use (in the Israel and I can't remember the other place) is the S&B Volcano, and Mighty*
*i think its the Mighty, its 430am here, so may be wrong.
Any other vaporizers are, technically, not meant for humans to inhale. They are aromatherapy devices, used to burn herbs and olis for their scent (that's why some Arizer(?) vapes comes with a glass dish attachment and a bag of lavender).
If it ever went to court or wherever, you'd just be told your an idiot for inhaling something that's not meant for such a thing (when clearly it is).
It seems like only the last few years that company's (at least ones based out of legal states) about the real use of the products, but pretty much everywhere else, its drug paraphernalia.
I am over simplifying, and of course each country is different (let alone federal law trumps state law).

That's where you're wrong kiddo, aromatherapy by definition includes inhalation, not only using it for scent. you can inhale green tea or whatever you feel like
Not only that, it's crystal clear that this is what it is meant to do
Just look at how boundless defines it "The Tera is the newest aromatherapy device addition to the Boundless line. Small enough to comfortably fit in the palm of your hand, the Tera delivers truly powerful smooth clouds from the first draw. Featuring two removable 18650 batteries...."
I rest my case~

There's a different between burning a scent that is diffused in air that you can smell, then it is to vaporise compands and inhale them directly.
I added into my post above that company's have started to open up about what they're for, and its risky (for a wide range of reasons, like, opening themselfs up to raids [feds] and misleading advertising).
example: lemon in hot water, with a towel over you head, aromatherapy
these devices (legally speaking), are meant to heat up plants (like lavender) to release the lovely smell into the air.
I know that's not what they're for, you know what's its for, the manufacturer knows what its for, but prove it.

Prove it? How's that for a proof?

Did you even read the rest before that?
That wasn't my point.
There's a reason manufactures don't say shit like that, or post shit like that.
I assume it won't be a problem for them, but it has opened themselves up to something.
Thats my point.

Well that was easier than expected.
@Boundless Vape Technology
This silicone seal was not seated correctly tilting the heating element. All the crap on the outside of the ceramic chamber was giving off fumes and since that seal was letting the funk into the air path. Bam, stinky bowl.
If the ceramic is not centered with the screen I’d bet you have the same problem.
Also you can fit a whip tube in the glass mouthpiece
The big stainless screen what is for?

This spelling error gave me a good laugh.
Thanks so much for the teardown, good news, great job.
Was it easy to take apart and are the any tamper seals?

But are you sure to use it correctly? You have to replace the glass part of MP eith the WPA

Also i after i do burnoff at 500f i ve thought that maybe the heater needs an adaptive time, start at max may be shocking.. but i've do that. By the way, i don't understand english like you, so for me isn't that clear what you've said after the teardown. There's a part of the heater out of his place that's in touch and cause the bad smell?

Let's keep it short:
I have already filed a return request with @VapoShop.
Longer version:
Did several burn-ins at 220°C (slowly increasing the temp) and saw no fumes coming out of it directly, but each and every time that I blew into the air intake, a blue stinky puff cloud came out of the bowl. Stinking like oil and plastic. Quite disgusting. And I am really not the sensitive kind of guy when it comes to smell. Just ask my wife. But it did not stop and the room was already niffing like burnt plastic from all the small puffs. I lost confidence, this makes no sense. My bowl is also askew, like mentionned by @Boden. It is not properly centered.
I will keep you updated how @VapoShop handles the return and refund.
What a pity. I generally like the device. It felt like a winner. Unfortunately like a stinking winner.

I e-mailed @VapoShop yesterday and they want me to return the unit.
They have said the following (translated):
'We have read multiple complaints about the Tera and this does seem to be a common problem. We will communicate this with boundless, in the mean time we ask you to return your device.'
I'm really curious what is about to happen. If they fix the software problems and the gassing, it's an absolute winner in my book.
For now we wait.

True, however since 'contamintated' units are more likely to get replaced instead of repaired, they can fix/add the features for the next batch
