14/18mm Olive and Bocote and Blackwood TA are one piece and do not come to pieces.
8mm TA are compatible with a variety of stem.
Available from 14:00 GMT this Wednesday.
Based on a similar stem shape I have from phat it should work with 10mm female. Which I think may have been mentioned on Instagram
This is a very clever way to hold the heat. Have you tried to add a few SS beads into the mix? In theory, you could add a ratio that would take the heat-up time down considerably as well as mix the heat source more evenly into the beads. They come in many diameters to boot. Link. Not sure about the actual iron content but suspect they should be OK. Adding too many would overload the IH driver so that is something to be careful about. Adding until the driver is running around 80-100 watts would be good. Might have to upgrade the IH driver to achieve really quick heat-ups though.US and Canadian purchases will be handled by Vgoodiez while I look after the UK/EU and everyone else.
A couple of people asked about the materials being used and I skirted round the question.
With the release being so close its time to put some minds at ease.
I said 'industry proven safe and reliable'.
As standard each TA goes out with 2 grams, approximately 55, 3mm borosilicate glass beads in the lid held in with a SS screen.
The test crew have used rubies, SiC and cubic zirconia. All perform well with their respective heating and cooling properties changing the way the TA delivers the goods.
The surface area in those little lids is much greater than any comparable vapes.
The flavour is less muted and metallic tasting.
Trying to work out some basic instructions which would be understood without writing it all down in different languages was always going to be a challenge. Hopefully a picture helps get the idea over.
Loving the possibilities being thrown around here. Very exciting product and so many possibilities for dialing it in to your personal preferences.This is a very clever way to hold the heat.

Going to have to give it a go to find out.
We shall see how things go but I know the Anvil doesn't have enough iron in it to work well at all with IH. Never played with a Dani. The TA has more going for it now that we know the heating media can be changed out. Down the road, I think we may be asking how many and how big SS balls you use. We also do not want to compromise taste by introducing red hot SS balls. Experimenting is needed but I have a good feeling that this will be a great versatile unit.@Pipes has always been generous in sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience to the FC community. Question for you @Pipes Do you have any thoughts of throwing your hat in to the ring to build a IH more capable of feeding these power hungry vapes like the Anvil, Dani and the TA? If so, put me on your wait list!
In your case maybe coat the outside of the wood portion of the 8mm adapter version and then use something like a Simrell or Dynavap metal stem. Or glass. There are also these great stems from Rogue that are great as WPA. They even make carbless ones.
Just buy the bare unit at $85USD when available and any DV glass stem or any DV stem, but glass would be better as metal stems might get too hot. I have to get one, that’s less than half what I paid for the Anvril USA version.

Yes all 8mm stems.
There's wood involved there as well
@Cheebsy as @Texus says this style of stem come with a 10mm taper as standard.
No way near as restricted as a VC.
Pricewise
TA 8mm £70
Olive 14/18mm £180
Bocote/BW £185
I've kept the prices competitive with other vapes of this style.
@Pipes I've discussed ball bearings with someone already but we've never followed it up.
I've got some 3mm coming. The way I'm going to try it out is weight for weight. Heaviest VC SS tip/cap equivalent weight in bearings. To keep the convection bias I'll load them in first. It's only going to be 5 or 6 but worth a try.
Smaller bearings and more of them would be better and again it opens up another avenue for tailoring hits.
Texus I put the prototype together in July and it's got very exciting, very quickly.
It went from a butane vape to IH to log way too fast for me
@endof3d I'd got so used to the peace and quiet an IH offers there was no way there wasn't going to be one for the TA.
@gooby apologies for all the wood, there will be all metal 8mm ones coming next year.
It all kicks off tomorrow 9am @VGOODIEZ which is 2pm Phattpiggie time.

Very excited and nervous at the same time.
You won't have to tinker.
