Very nice!! 408F right? how's the taste at this temp? you start the bowl from 408F or from around 380F?
Hard for me to imagine somebody being disappointed with the tetrax heater, gotta say. I just don't have a better tasting vape. Love how light and stable it is for glass use, really ideal. Absolutely in love with this thing.

405F, in a basket screen. Not bad flavor at all, I managed to fully extract the load in two draws, and it got nicely dark. 380 would maybe have a bit more flavor to start with, but 405 from start to finish didn't offend my senses any.

Try it with the shortest stem you've got (without water filteration), at 365F. tell me after if you felt that terpey-nosy

There is something wrong wth my new TetraX.
I purchased 6 new Samsung 30Q from IMR, & a new Cuboid 200w mod. The first 3 batteries would not work with the TetraX, returning strange errors. So I tried the second set of 3 batteries & everything worked fine. I then returned to the first set of batteries when the second set ran out of charge, & again nothing worked. I then replaced with the recharged second set of 3 batteries that previously worked & now, nothing! The device will not fire at all - nothing. The same Cuboid 200w works fine with my Sai, & a distillate cart. The 18650 batteries all look good in my 18650 battery chargers, & all batteries work in my Arizer Air.
So @Jacer & @tokenknifeguy, you have company. What am I doing wrong?

Hmmm what's the mod saying? Is it just not reading the coil at all and displaying ohms/resistance of 0? I figured out the cause of my problems last night was a connection inside the wooden housing had become detached from the 510 connector base. Could be that you're having a similar problem to that

Thanks @Jacer for responding. Quite unsettling, tbh!
The Cuboid 200w mod will not fire at all. The resistance also is odd before fireing: should be 0.248ohms, but it varies considerably, for example, it last showed 0.278ohms at cold! The mod has returned very strange errors, like "New coil 0.26ohms, same coil 0.24ohms." When it was working, the device eventually shut down returning strange errors but I cannot remember what they were. Then next day it worked fine. It has never returned an overheating warning.
Ok, I will check the 510 housing & unscrew the connector, but honestly, I am a little scared to adjust it physically. Will that negatively affect the warrantee? You know, when the TetraX worked, it performed better than my Mighty. I really like the on-demand feature as well.
Sorry to bother the thread about this.

Of course I'm happy to help! That is very very strange, I'm not quite sure what to make of that. As for the warranty I'm not sure so I would contact Ralph about that since he would know for sure.
And exactly like you said, when the TetraX is working it is by far the best vape I've ever owned so here's to hoping we get both of ours working quite soon.
if you get the new coil warning you need to turn menu,coils, manage,Check to OFF.
please contact me by mail for troubleshooting your device and tell me the errors you get and when you get them. it is normal for the cold resistance to be higher than the recommended one, especially if the device is warm.
also please contact me before you physically mess with your unit to keep warranty in place.

Thank you, will do. It is way too beautiful a device for me to adjust it physically. I really did not want to bother you at this stage, I still do not understand exactly what is happening.
Note that the Check feature is already set to "No." Also strangely, the "NI" setting in "Coils" is not 0 but returns an actual value after the device is used ("Tubo" feature is set to 0.248ohms). In the "Modes" menu, when TCR is set to "Y", the setting "Temp NI" is unchangeable at "A". The "desktop" or dashboard main screen also does not show the TCR value, but instead displays "NI".
Thank you for your responses.
update your mod again with the tubomyevic software, that should put you right back into TUBO mode. alternatively you can set one of menu>interface>clicks to "Edit", go back to the mainscreen, press the firebutton the amount of times you chose Edit for and the top line should start to blink. press "+" button until you are at TUBO, confirm with fire.
dont hesitate to contact me, but its also cool to see when the community helps!

I'm almost starting to think that the problem is my actual box mod and maybe not the tetrax itself. From day one I had problems with the tetrax in my joytech EvicDUAL but from day one I could use it in my DNA mod with no problems, although I only used it in wattage mode and couldn't use the tubo firmware. I still get random problems and everyone once in a while when I try to use the warmup or cruise mode, after a second or two, it will switch out of "tubo" mode and go to "power" mode running on just wattage.
I'm thinking of just going with a Wismec 2/3. I have a set up now with 3 sets of 2 batteries but wondering if I should upgrade to the 3 battery setup? I pretty much get like 1 days worth of use out of 1 set of batteries, so I'm changing out batteries and recharging about everyday. Wondering how much longer the 3 batteries would last.
Also I should add that most of the problems have been worked out so far. I have been using it as my daily driver and damn is this thing a beast. Can get massive clouds. I really want to get a the Wismec so I can see if it is the box mod. Box Mod acquisition syndrome is real too.

I'd highly recommend the 3 battery Cuboid 200 running the Tubo software, it has worked absolutely flawlessly for me when my Tetra was up and running. If you look a few pages back you can find a couple links with them in the $20-$30 range.

Good news peeps: Although not yet confirmed, I believe my brand new Cuboid200w mod is the culprit, *not* the Tubo. I will flash FJ's firmware onto another mod to confirm. The defective Cuboid firebutton works fine in adjusting features & values on the menu, but will not fire with any attached atty. Also the screen disappears when the fire button is hit. Yet the mod correctly reads the resistance of any attached atty! Bad mod, very bad mod, aka "The Revenge of the Mods" or Mods 1, Humans 0.
if the display goes dark when firing that most likely means stealth mode is activated. hold fire&"-" button to switch it on or off.

Wow, that fixed it, the mod is now working again! The Tubo stealth feature thru me because in Artic Fox formware, the stealth mode returns no values at all on the screen & the screen goes dark completely. Whereas here in the Tubo fw, the screen display works, but goes dark when the mod is fired. Do I feel foolish.
@funkyjunky thank you.

I just received my Tetrax - its taken me a few minutes to set up tubo mode but it seems to be running well.
Just wondering what wattage and temps people are running in tubo mode?

Wattage is 70W on my VTC Dual, never changed it. But I think it's lower on single cell mods. And as far as I know, you shouldn't change it for the Tubo mode. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
I'm starting with 195° using stems/j-hooks, but mostly my TETRA hooks on some glass, starting at 205° then, cycling up with each draw until 230°/235° for the last one.

Im loving this with the water adapter
!I had mine at 60 w and 195c on the cuboid 200 and it ripped beautifully such a big powerful hit!
Should I change it back to 70w?
IAfter three bigs bowls I can highly recommended this one!
