I’m about to pickup the TA4. Any reasons to get the TA3 along with it or just the 4 should be fine?
Tempest "beta kit?" I have one coming. I didn't know they were "betas!" I also have a TA 4 coming from Vgoodies. Wow! Just like me!I decided to go "all torch" after being "no torch" for anlmost12 years. Started with a dynavap for 3 days before seeing the vestratto. Now the Vas is out of control. Got a thermocore oven too. What stem are you using on the Phatpiggie? I landed on a Simrell but I'm not sure if I made the right decision. We'll see. Cheers!
I thought I was talking to you, but given this response I'm having regrets...
Oh I get it! It was sarcasm because I failed to hit the reply and you couldn't just explain that to me. You're a clever fella!Are you talking to your inner self?
Read my entire message "what are you using on the Phatpiggie" maybe not get sarcastic when someone is just asking questions. Phatpiggie makes the Thermal Accumulator last time I checkedThis is for the thermal accumulator, I think there is a thread for the Tempest
The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie
Take my money. This looks absolutely awesome. Mad heaters and Phatpiggie Thermal Accumulator 2. It has a clicker and a heat sensor thing. Totally in love already.fuckcombustion.com
both threads are titled similar so easy mistake to make
It wasn't a mistake. I have both comingOh I get it! It was sarcasm because I failed to hit the reply and you couldn't just explain that to me. You're a clever fella!

If you are asking about which stem to use, the TA produces quite a lot of heat, so the stem has to be quite thick. Being in metal, I don’t really know if the simrell will take multiple heating cycles, for example. As you say, have a try, it’s the best way to know. I personally use a wooden PP stem, wood does a good jobWhat stem are you using on the Phatpiggie? I landed on a Simrell but I'm not sure if I made the right decision.
No problem. Im a stoner. Sometimes it just doesn't come out right!I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be disrespectful. I was just confused by your writing.

Yeah I got this https://simrellcollection.com/produ...lassic-dynavap-tip-cap?variant=48765890199765. Guy from Simrell said it would do the trick. I'll let folks know.If you are asking about which stem to use, the TA produces quite a lot of heat, so the stem has to be quite thick.

I can hit an Anvil without anything but the cooling unit if I have to but it's not optimal. That's really the only device I have any experience with. The thing that started all this! I'll be using my stuff through water mostly but I'm just searching for that perfect unicorn hit. Im sure I'll regret a lotta purchases so I'm hoping becoming less of a lurker on here will keep me from a few bad decisions going forward. Thanks!I'm using the TA3 on a cocobalo omni xl stem and its warm on back to backers but not hot. I dont have the metal ring, but the carb is better located on the stem you got. Mine is too close to the tip so i blocked it with an x ring.
Oh nice. It's coming today (The Simrell) I need to figure out how it all goes together! Thanks!I use a simrell wooden vortex and it's ok. It does get warm towards the end or multiple uses. Also have a glass wpa, I prefer the simrell for use with glass for the carb and I'm a sucker for thuya burl and just really liked the way my set up looks.
Just pulled it out to look at it. I only have experience with the Anvil. This one definitely has more convection from what I can see. Can you pull that screen out without bending it terribly?There isn't much to how it goes together. I'm not sure if your referring to the simrell stem or the TA but both are pretty simple to figure out in my opinion. And if you don't know your bowl is adjustable on the TA, there is a little spacer under the screen and this can be moved around to make the bowl larger or smaller kinda like dynas but it's infinitely adjustable instead of having the set spots in Dynas.
Camouflet Inductor. I think it's still on special, buy one get two of their vapes with it free. If you've yet to travel the IH path, consider starting and ending there. ; )The TA4 is my first butane vape and I absolutely love it. Trying to figure out what I prefer for the pearls - have sic, zirc, ruby, and default boro.
So far using a Simrell xl stem and loving it, though eventually I want a wooden Sherlock/pipe.
Using it with the wand is okay, curious if people have better experiences with other IHs, seems like the flare is recommended but currently unavailable.
I’ve been considering the bundle for the last day or so, just don’t know what creations to get with it. Leaning towards zooter and convector xl but the banger also looks awesome. Only other reason I haven’t pulled the trigger yet is portability, but if it’s that good I may just to grab it now.Camouflet Inductor.

Not very portable but a great unit to build around since it can handle most IH-able vapes. That ecosystem covers a lot of ground and the quick heatup and cooldown makes them perfect for quick hits or sessions. The support is fantastic too.I’ve been considering the bundle for the last day or so, just don’t know what creations to get with it.

I'm hoping for a pinned ta4 (or 3)on a nice wood stem, like my OG TA!I'll take the 5th on the ongoing efforts to bring another product to market.
I use a TA and also a verdavap1.5 with sic and zirconium balls. 50/50 the sic balls are placed at the top towards where you heat and the zirconium balls at the bottom, just above the bowl. the result is really delicious, I tried many combinations and this is for me the best with the best balance. (I also do this in the ZXL phase3 it's even better)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.
