Boundless Tera

[Robert-in-YEG]

Here are my thoughts on the Tera. The unit I have is about two years old, it has held up well, other than the paint peeling off the battery cover. The unit is solid and seems well built. It is mostly low quality plastic, except for the metallic battery cover. The charging circuit or charging port has a problem; the unit won't charge. At it's age, it still cooks flower same as new.

For me, the Tera works with a bong. I don't like it as hand vape.

It took me a long time to warm up to the Tera. It takes a bit of technique to get it to produce a thick solid steam. Perhaps it is just me, but even now it takes some focus when used. I need to be in the mood for the Tera, and it takes some patience. However, when it starts cooking weed, it is a hell of an air fryer, and it can cook a bowl very quickly. This is a hard hitting vape.

My routine for the Tera is. Start with fresh batteries, and they need to good batteries that match the originals. Start with with a clean WPA; the screen clogs quickly. Clean screen = happy session. Measure the flower; I use a 125ml measuring scoop. Tamp gently, but firmly. Yes, that is contradiction, try to hit that magic perfect spot.

After the vape reaches the desired temperature, I wait. I get far better results allowing some preheating. At 348F, my normal is to wait at least 60 seconds, before taking the first draw. I have had far fewer frustrations getting the Tera to produce, by preheating before the first draw.

I use a stopwatch with this vape. The 5 minute session is short, but the WPA gets very hot when using with a bong. The base of the WPA is mostly metal, and it holds a lot of heat. The Tera can do back to back sessions, but it makes sense to use caution. Excess heat will damage plastic.

Given everything I've read in these last posts, it leaves me wondering what will replace the Tera when it dies? It seems the earliest units were the most reliable, and worked the best. I doubt what I have is first generation. The latest Tera's seem to be plagued with problems.

When it comes to buying vapes, it makes sense to stick with trusted vendors.

So glad I have my Tera as backup. The button on my TM failed; I am using the Tera with a bent Solo stem in the oven and appreciating the vapor difference.
However, as I can no longer see the panel, I have had to develop a plan to assure that I am in the right mode at the right temperature. I like 220.
So, I take the batteries out to store the vape. Putting the batteries in place turns the vape on. I then hold the oven button as needed and wait for the buzzer. I marked the up-temp button and use it to assure that I am up to 220, but I need to avoid accidentally entering quick 3 pulses which turns on concentrate mode (I think). Then it is enjoy, restart the heater if it times out and buzzes, and latter remove the batteries; only stepping into a dark closet if needed.

I kept the last Tera I received. I too only use it with a bong. It has the same defects as the previous 4...... but I take the batteries out of it when I put it away. I pack it fairly tight and set the temp to 400F. It cranks out enough vapor to make me cough! I wish this had been a more reliable vape. BTW the FX+ with a WPA works great also.

The Tera is pain for back to back bong sessions, but rarely do I do more than three. Three back to back bong sessions using the Tera takes dedication. It is hard hitting vape, and often two sessions is quite enough. For all its faults and flaws, the Tera has its place in my daily rotation.

What can replace a Tera? When this one eventually expires, I do not see anything close to replace it.

What I would like to see on the next version Tera is better build quality, vastly improved battery life, and adjustable session times. It would only take minor tweaks to bring the Tera back as an improved powerhouse.

I pretty much replaced mine with an Arizer Solo II. We use it with a Freeze pipe Bong. Works well! We load two wpa and my lady and I get 4 hits each from each adapter at bed time. Been using it for 2 1/2 years now performance has been flawless and still no sign of battery degradation. And it doesn't get hot easily. We use it at 390F. Our session lasts 7-8 minutes ( never timed it really ) and a week's worth of use we still have 63% battery power left! I highly recommend it!
