Dang didn’t think about thatIsn't it a different ID? The TA is 8mm, whereas BFG stems are 9mm. You probably could get it to fit but would need a bit of work changing Orings.

It's not the same adapter the other way around...Dang didn’t think about thatI think maybe the Stunner maker has a 9mm to 8mm adapter so that might work as well?

Ha ha, yep of courseIt's not the same adapter the other way around...
Currently using 14mm vaphit WPA I bought @VGOODIEZ . I also have a stem from Dovetail Woodworks on the way.Which wpa or vong would you recommend for the TA3
This is what I'm using, an SS-lined blackwood DV WPA stem from Dovetail. I've also used a simple glass WPA from Ed's Tnt but it doesn't look like he's carrying them any more. His wooden ones are also fantastic (though unlined).stem from Dovetail Woodworks
That's gorgeous! Enjoy the heck out of that!Just received!
Yeah, the thick part near the neck looks really handy for spinning and for heat protection. And the overall aesthetics are really nice. I love it.Thanks. I ordered the custom stem for my upcoming Tempest but thought I could try it with the TA. And it worked very well and much heat resistant than the revolve with the heat buffer bobbin. I will try with my Mad Heaters Revolve wooden sleeves for now until I get my Tempest wooden sleeves I pre-ordered with Soothing Vapours in Canada. Lots of experimenting to start now, playing with all the sleeve and WPA options I currently own, I have used a Blazer Firefox torch till red but I could have combusted that way, so more testing needed for torch use. At 450F-475F till time over with the wand has been comfortable with clouds and taste. At 575F it was quite a hit for a low temp guy! So much more to discover
It adds a lot of Chaos utility for me.Been holding off till late afternoon or evening for the TA. Strong delivery for me with this system. Have yet to try a torch and been slowly perfecting the Inductor. When it glows, I knowShould have my updated Chaos adapter soon to try too.
I have used the TA3 a handful of times using a triple torch heating the top half of the heater slowly spinning. I am struggling a little to get consistent results if I am honest. I heat till the tip just starts to glow and often the top of the bowl is a little caught for me with slight burnt taste. The middle of the bowl is light brown. I step off the heat next bowl and often struggle to get much vapor and an even roast. Guess I need a bit more practice so any pointers appreciated.Thanks.

I feel stoned just looking at it! Have fun!
