I have another question what size bowl are you guys using. When I first got the Ta3 the screen wasn't pressed all the way down to the bottom of the bowl with the little screw down there and I was a little disappointed about the size of the bowl. I then combusted and had to give her a through cleaning, while this is where I noticed the screen was down completely and that there is a metal spring at the bottom and I've since pushed the bowl all the way down. Now I'm like holy cow this bowl is huge. So I was curious on what size bowl you guys had yours set to

I was confused about that screen positioning ring as well when I first discovered during a cleaning! Thought the bowl was a bit small at first too. I’ve taken mine out to use all the space

I'm not sure if anyone else has changed their TA to having rubies, so the heat up advice I'm going to guess will be a bit different than the default setup.

Just used some recently for about a week. They need a little more heat imo. Didn’t improve taste or extraction for me

I also realized my bowl must be set smaller from the default as it arrived, never tried to mess around with it yet, it is small but I don't know if I mind yet? I still should try larger at some point though, I have not tried to restrict my air flow at all with TA3, have kept it stock wide open as well... Hard to want to tinker with these kind of things honestly, variables!

I am also confused about the bowl screen on my ta3. I got the little wood piece but it seems to only push the screen down this far. There's a little space below that, but the piece of wood doesn't get it down there. I reached out to vgoodies and they said the ta3 only has 1 bowl size? Can/should I push this screen down farther? Nothing is below it like a spacer. TIA!

 

[Sativapo]

there is a spacer below the screen that you can adjust. It's difficult to get out and get back for cleaning so I use the TA3 full bowl without the spacer. It works ok half or 3/4 full.

 

[kegstandman420]

Thank you! I hadn't taken a really good look inside and I found the little circular spacer. Took that out and pushed the screen all the way in. Wow the bowl is HUGE

I can't help but to take everything I get apart immediately. I have to see what is going on as to how things work. I read elsewhere that rubies took someone else longer in their Ta3 to heat up and wound up going back to the stock boro. I'm having a hard time. I combusted twice today. Both times were reheating. I've been doing 25 sec heat ups with the big shot and getting pretty decent results, but my avb would stick together,(which is usually a sign the bowl isn't finished) and the bottom and edges we still kinda green while the top and middle were well done.

whats the difference between TA1 OG and TA3?

TA1 had 7 holes inlet, TA3 had adjustable airflow inlet, TA4 is the TA3 with unscrewable top to change media and make cleaning easier.

Also I think 1-2 have less balls, I think more like 50 something and 3/4 have like 70 something.

Sounds like you’re almost there. I’d try getting the bright blue flame closer to the cap if possible. Should glow from red to bright orange a little quicker too. I’m usually around 20 seconds using normal routine. I like a really light pack with mostly open air up top too for most times.

TA1 is nice and open, the TA3 slightly less so but still fine. TA3 is more forgiving of the torch but again, it's slight and the TA1 is great too. I use the TA1 more because I use it through water.

I just got the TA3 from Vgoodiez. I'm a huge fan of the TA1 OG and how amazing it is with hash/concentrates. I am finding the TA3 really enjoyable with bud and twax. Love this thing!

Got another new dry pipe that is pretty perfect for TA, this one by PharrowGlass in Hawaii (I also have the inductor I won in the contest finally so I need to open it up and test it out too... Still using the stock smaller bowl size until I open it up to switch, had a nice bowl with a little hash on the herbs too!)

Where can we find this WPA ?
I'm using the OCWW Inception stem with my TA3 but I'd like to get a proper WPA like the one you're using.

Got some new glass and finally felt motivated to break in test out TA-3!

Hookahhead made these (check his thread and reach out if any of those steals are still available) 18 mm hammer and 14 mm squat lock

@Hookahhead_MD makes nice ones like this in various colors...

(glass WPA is from osgree on DHgate)

Surprised with how well this^ one from China has been working though!

been using my ta3 pretty exclusively on a wpa. Got a 2nds bog oak simrell wpa and it hits great. Ta3 stays for the bong and the tempest and wand for on the go. Both great devices that I think are very similar and different at the same time.

I changed the balls for the first time after many months of heavy use of my TA3. They were essentially clean as I use it balls up with the wand over it or on the side in my aezhenn pipe.

I tried 3mm ruby now instead of Boro and I really like it : kind of smoother but stronger like a steamboat.
I kind of damaged my screen a bit changing it. I'll put a spare one. Any advice on the screen insertion not to damage it ? Also is it fitted more securely the curve towards the balls with less of them or the curb on the bowl side with one or 2 more ?

Ps : came down from my third bowl and now that I think of it in the stoney couch phase the ball screen must had been installed the curve on the bowl side by PP, is that right?

Ive taken my screen out a couple times and it just kind of gets boogered it seems. As long as it holds I dont care though. I need to try rubies again. I have sic in it now.

I am absolutely loving my TA3. It works so well with the wand! I torched it first few days but now its mainly the wand. Such a lovely experience. It's so pleasant to use with t-wax, and the vapor is so smooth. With the fat stem I have, it feels like im puffing on a fat blunt.

only complaint is, not sure if it's the wand, but before I used to set it at 420 and once it times out it's perfect. Now I'm finding I need to do it longer than that. Is it because it's gotten "dirtier" or what could be causing that inconsistency? perhaps the wand itself? even when its on full charge now its still not consistent at the 420

 

[raisin]

TA 3 and 4 are back in stock at vgoodiez! Got my TA4 and wand order in, can't wait to put them to use!

 

[BushRanger]

Got TA4 on the way! Yaaaay!

Also waiting Tempest upgrade beta kit and Wand to be delivered...fun times ahead

Seems like next step is ordering the Flare...
