My Tetra P80 finally arrived but the stem was cracked in 3 pieces so I’m paranoid about issues with the P80. The package might have been dropped pretty hard.
Is the heater supposed to be this far down the stem?
Little particles are getting stuck already:

it looks 100% like mine, glad your TP80 is in great shape and the stem which is less important is the one which is broken.....!
please upload more photos of this colorful unit....
and yeah you figured out why people prefer using it upside down..... the tubo's old heater screen probably can't be placed with 4 tubes..... no cleaning needed when it's upside down...

I don't use it natively because of that, although your stem-bubbler looks like it gives a lot of coolness to the vapor... if you want to extract it like that you'll need to brush it from time to time..(S&B Brush for example)
I just mine only with WPA. Wood or glass
if you pay little money for weed, just vape whole nugs. no small particles and the effects + taste are incredible. did that 1h ago and it's so good

Actually that is a recent change to the design, having the heater lower with such a wide gap between the walls and the screen, my previous TP80 were not like that... The heater screen covers a bit more, and it looks different inside, must be using different glass internals now... I think it is better, but it is definitely worse for crumbs!
That depends on you really, there is not any practical issue, supposedly particles down there overcooked could spoil taste a bit and purity, with gentle toothpick poking upside down you should be able to dislodge, gentle tapping on the body of the TP80 too...
Yes especially with this new one I am only using it upside down to keep it extra pristine, even so a little crumb found its way there haha if you want to be extra safe you can use another basket screen to cap your load if you are filling the joint, or you can flatten a basket screen to use it as a cap on another basket screen.. I don't like doing this because it hinders performance in my experience, so I prefer to just keep my TP80 upside down at all times!
Ralph will send you a replacement stem, just let him know it arrived broken, and enjoy, my blue orange box elder burl brother

I did not, sorry bro!!!
Yes I see it now. Sorry I missed it. Any preference between the 26a or 28a? I know nothing about batteries. Any advantage of one over the other?
Yes the black heart mango with silver

All good, by the way instead of posting back to back, you can press the quote button, instead of the reply button, to collect multiple quotes, then reply at once in one post inserting them at the bottom left... Anyway it doesn't really matter which Molicell if you can get the p28 they have slightly more capacity so you can eke out a little more use before recharging, what's good about them both though is that they have a high amp rating, that's what keeps the performance consistent throughout the charge and helps you get the most out of the TP80 per cell since it can be a bit of a battery hog (there are some other cells from other brands that have more capacity but lower amps so I don't think they're performance is quite as good, but Sony VTC6 are very solid, just more expensive, I like Molicell better for this use). Congratulations I hope you enjoy it!

Ok it's not that different. It's good to hear that you never got any issue with untracked shipping.
I wouldn't risk losing a package for a device worth 350+ CHF, so I would only go with tracking.

Juice box? Rocket vape?
This was my first choice after perusing the units pre drop so I feel pretty damn lucky. Been chasing one of these for over a year now and I'm very pleased. Something about the colors and the design reminded me of images of the swirls in Jupiter's atmosphere. Long stem and walnut mouthpiece credit to Highartisan.
Thanks to you all for providing the information I needed to educate myself about this vape and its accessories. So many searches and reading but it's all there and I appreciate it immensely.

Yeah it sucks about the stem but I already have 3 new ones from Lamart on the way.
Any of my EU friends know a good site selling 19/22mm stems? Tired of getting fucked by danish customs. I payed 33% of the price of the P80 just in customs fee and as a thank you it was probably them who broke the stem

I just tried my glass stem from my Dreamwood Glow 18 and it fit perfectly! This opens up a whole new world of possibilities because that guy makes some awesome stems. This is the one i have:
Now imagine this on a Tetra P80:
Anybody ever tried a Dreamwood stem in their P80?

Just received my P80 from the classifieds. These things are even more beautiful in person. I can't believe how strong the heater is!!! Now I just have to figure out how to use it.

Storz Bickel brush...
Q tip with iso/ethanol is possible too when the heater is cold....
the buildup, IMHO, doesn't fact the performance too much but it may affect the taste

is this thing on?
If you use it upside down... there will be close to zero build up in a year of daily use. Then again it may also come down to what your vaping style is. I use high heat and fast extraction, it may play a role in it I guess?
Cleaning with ethanol always works better on warm to hot surfaces so I would Q-Tip it straight after you had it in use though

although I tried the glass symphony long time ago, this tetra is really the gs mini version of it.. the 4 tubes are hot and have a large volume... wooden stem high temp fast draw..(maybe it'll give good abv with glass wpa too, have to try..)

Everythings coming up Milhouse!
I would just brush it out or invert the unit and gently blow from the air intake. I’m surprised you’re having this issue though. I am not one to exclusively use my p80 upside down. It’s not a big deal if I need to brush out the heater screen. I take the first hit inverted to kind of melt the resins and hold my bowl in place, but otherwise I use it in the normal right side up fashion and this isn’t an issue for me.
Oh yeah, and a q-tip with iso is fine for the sides of the heater and the screen. I do this myself, and I was once uber-paranoid about keeping my unit pristine I emailed Ralph first to check
. I do use 99% ISO though, for whatever that is worth. I bet anything high (above 90, not the standard 70% you get at drug stores) is fine.

I would not use compressed air anywhere near vape heater internals. There’s more stuff than just air in those, nothing I would possibly want to inhale.
