Summary: Both are DIY kits from QaromaShop with a 20-mm heating coil, PID controller, and 3-mm ruby beads. According to the manufacturer, the Baroma 2.0 is the brass version of the Taroma 2.0; according to the shop’s testers, it hits harder than the Taroma but sacrifices some flavor in return. The Taroma 360 has a titanium housing that slides over a glass stem with a screen and comes with a temperature chart ranging from 191 to 254 °C. The manufacturer does not specify a temperature for the Baroma 2.0.

Design

According to QaromaShop, the Baroma 2.0 is almost identical to the Taroma 2.0 in every respect, but it is made of brass and is significantly heavier. The built-in gemstone chamber controls the airflow and retains heat better thanks to its greater mass. With a 14-mm screen, you can fill it up to the joint; without a screen, you can fill it to the end of the joint. According to the manufacturer, one pack of beads may not be enough to fill the entire length.

On the Taroma 360, the screen sits at an adjustable depth in the glass stem, and a basket screen is available for very small amounts. The housing containing more than 200 ruby beads slides over it. According to the manufacturer, the thin-walled stem is designed to combine conduction and convection.

Temperature and dwell time

For the Taroma 360, QaromaShop specifies three ranges with a “heat soak” time, meaning the amount of time the housing remains in place:

• 191–210 °C (375–410 °F): 60–90 seconds
• 210–232 °C (410–450 °F): 30–60 seconds
• 232–254 °C (450–490 °F): 15–30 seconds

Neither the QaromaShop product page nor its FAQ specifies a temperature for the Baroma 2.0; you select the setting on the PID controller without manufacturer guidance.

Vapor and flavor according to the manufacturer

We do not have our own measurements. QaromaShop recommends the Baroma for users who want a lot of vapor. The shop compares its harder hits with the Taroma in general, not explicitly with the Taroma 360; the manufacturer advertises the latter as delivering plenty of flavor and hard hits.

Setup and accessories

Both kits include the housing, fitted coil, PID controller, coil handle, porcelain stand, ruby beads, and screens. Neither kit includes glassware with a 14- or 18-mm joint. The Baroma 2.0 comes with a glass adapter bowl, while a brass bowl is available as an option. Only 20-mm coils with 5 clockwise turns fit it as replacements.

With the Taroma 360, you place the screen on the glass stem, slide the housing over it, wait for the heat soak time, and then use the residual heat in the stem after lifting off the housing. QaromaShop strongly recommends an ash catcher with a carb hole or a passthrough bowl so you can clear the hit without lifting off the housing; neither is included in the kit. However, a quartz bowl for concentrates and a basket screen are included.

Price and availability

Current offers are shown in the Baroma 2.0 price comparison and the Taroma 360 price comparison. QaromaShop itself charges only in Malaysian ringgit and ships worldwide. The Baroma 2.0 is available only in limited quantities; check whether it is in stock before purchasing.

Which one is right for whom?

Conclusion: If you want fixed guidelines for temperature and heat soak time as well as accessories for small amounts and concentrates, choose the Taroma 360. If you want the brass head that QaromaShop recommends for hard hits and are comfortable without a manufacturer-specified temperature, choose the Baroma 2.0 while it is still available. The following applies to both: no warranty, and shipping damage must be reported within 24 hours.
