Hey guys... Haven't been here in a while due to family issues, but just wanted to pop in and say how I've been liking/disliking my Taroma.
I've had it for a little bit now, and he sent a Ceroma with it as well like most people. Initially it was a little hard to get vapor with the big bowls, and I'd have to go all the way up to like 750F for easy vapor. I raised the screens in the stock bowls to above the little "mark" halfway, and it worked 100x better immediately. Because of that, I ended up buying the Grav octo bowl and use that now. I use it on 650ish, and it roasts it pretty damn near black. It absolutely CRANKS for anyone still wondering. This thing packs a massive punch for almost no effort.
Pros
- Huge power. Milks my bongs harder and faster than anything I've owned
- Consistent. This was the main reason I got the Taroma (was going to get a FP for this reason), because I just wanted consistency. My Tinymight is inconsistent at times, my Alpha can be hit or miss, but the Taroma so far since I moved the bowl has been non stop clouds.
- MUCH safer than I expected. I never bothered with a FP over the years because I have kids, but it's really safe. Based on pictures of the FP stand, I actually like the Taroma stand much better. The slots for the handle are physically too small for the head to get out of it, so you'd have to pick it up and actually lift it out of the stand for it to come out. Makes any mistakes much less likely.
- Super high quality materials. They just feel really "well" made. The Ceroma I have has a few dings and the coil fits a little loose, but it's free -- No complaints here. It also works really well.
- Has enough power to be hit back to back to back to back. My wife and I take turns hitting, and of course I give her the first fresh hits, but there's still nice fat hits left for me each time.
- Price was really fair, especially if you don't include the shipping.
- Customer service response time was very fast. Idk why I always jump on the new release band wagon, but I've fucked myself many times on that, especially with the Tiny Might. Thankfully this one was perfect, and even when I had questions the maker responded fast and respectful.
- Looks beautiful. The electronic controller is solid and well made, the heads are solid, everything is solid and high quality. The Taroma changes colors due to the anodizing from just being used. Looks awesome honestly.
Cons
- The handles are definitely too long, and the way they "fit" on isn't the best imo. This isn't a huge issue, but I would have liked a sturdier handle.
- Blasts through weed. This is an obvious and not really a con, but it's just so powerful that efficiency really isn't the selling point.
- The bowls should be much closer to the heating element. Again this is such a small issue that you can solve on your own, but I really love the quality from the Qaroma shop so I would have preferred one of their bowls instead of going elsewhere or sitting a screen up top.
That's all the cons I could really scrape up to be honest. My wife and I are loving the Taroma. I won't say anyone else's complaints aren't valid, just wanted to post my personal experience if it were to help anyone else. Feel free to ask me some questions and I'll try to answer them for yall. Happy New Years.
