I will take a quick video but yeah the screw caught me the first time as the cap screws in the opposite direction than I expected, it makes sense that its the opposite direction to screwing on the bowl to make it easier to come apart.... just took me a minute to realize it.
after a while I managed to get the screw on my TA3 to stay in place and not undo on the magnet, just took some effort
On that note, the TA4 doesn't fit the Tempest wand adapter as an FYI
I use the magsink to cool the cap as its so quick, a few minutes and then Its back on the device for the next use
TY for that heads up. You've cured any FOMO I had and made sure I don't make any mistakes at the same time. TY Again.
I am organizing a TA with a stem
I really do find that these TA's give me the most easily repeatable access to the types of effects that I chase. It's literally 18 seconds and I am off.
The head/bowl assembly is available at VGoodies. Can be used on most wood or glass VC stems (metal gets very hot).where can I buy one of these? link please
You can use them with any vapcap stem.

Thicker nubbed glass stems are really nice for these. I have broken a thinner piece, so while a BB will work great it may be a little fragile in this context, ymmv.

just ordered a stem from dovetail, how long did it take to get shipped out.
Just received one from him in about 12 days. Was surprised considering I ordered on the holiday. Handles the heat from the TA3 nicely
Mine also took about ten days but I believe usps was the problem. Mine appeared to actually ship and not just have a “label created” and it went all over the Midwest before heading to SoCal from TN if I remember correctly
Blazer Big Buddy for super fast heat ups or the Firefox (what I use) is perfectly fine, tho a little smaller. Heat the midsection of the heater turning VERY slowly until the flame turns orange and then move up closer to the top and cherry the entire top. Let it cool until the glow it gone, take some test-tokes and then hit away. You can take briefer hits or let it rest for a moment if it's hotter than you'd like. You may need to reheat before it's cooked, just get some color back in the top and you should be good. It's really very easy and very forgiving, so you should have little trouble.
Using a little chefs brulee torch. Might need something a bit bigger. Also might be struggling due to a MTL preference. It's a bit open for me
Even closed down? I have my TA3 wide open. I guess I must be doing a modified DTL that involves some puffing.
