The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

@RedZep, I might have missed this, but what torch are you using with the tempest? I generally prefer an IH, but just curious!
I use a mid sized single flame called a Vertigo pictured below. I have it set to about 80% flame length.

I'm trying a triple flame this week. Will report back. The joy of the heater not being wrapped around the bowl means you can heat as fast as you like within reason.

You rock Zep, look forward to your reports (it’s now 4:17am ffs lol)

@RedZep what’s to stop you unscrewing the cap, putting the cap into the IH while you pack the bowl, then when the bowls packed, you either screw back on the cap while it’s in the IH or take it out of the IH and attach it to the bowl and go.

Could that be done?

(I’ll read your reply when I get up… 4:31 grr 😂)

Thats sounds interesting, but can you unscrew it in the wand?

The IH has no magnet, so no way to screw/unscrew the tip without using your hand in that scenario. So you would heat proof gloves or leather finger protectors.

Honestly wouldn't be worth the effort. The time it takes to Reload is negligible once you are practised at it.

No problem. I work from home, and I get notifications from the thread. I love talking about this thing. So ask away


I hope for your employer that you do not carry out all the tests requested, when asked...
because even with cbd, not sure if you are able to function properly 🙃😂

I'm good as long as I don't have too many meetings :D

Joking aside I've found I function better high. I have ADHD. I've found cannabis has a focussing effect on me. My work productivity shot up after I started working from home, with my vapes near my desk.

You're not alone; there's a whole thread:

Okay, back to lurking, at least until my Tempest arrives and I've got something to write (flex) about.

Oh wow. Didn't see that. Going to be have a read through that for sure. Thanks.

1) is it correct that the mouth piece and 1st and second stage intercoolers will remain the same - meaning one can purchase the updated tip/bowl and radiator sleeve to upgrade..?
There will be small changes (less features on the Tempest cooling unit), but it's essentially the same thing. That's correct.

2) in order to match when it arrives - which titamium finish does the tempest radiator come in - is mirrored, poloished or brushed?
I'd recommend to get a factory second polished

I thought that might be the case, but when it only takes in the realm of 10 seconds or so to reheat and there is no harm in pulling it out of the wand for a quick check then dropping back in, if needed, I have zero gripes from a theoretical standpoint.

Again, one of those things I'm excited to test out once mine is here!
Yep. Mentioned this earlier in the thread that you can re-heat vapes like this while drawing if you're using the Wand and you don't even need to remove it from the Wand. Like re-lighting a cigar - just keep puffing until you get vapor and it's often very tasty. This is one benefit you can't really reproduce with a torch I think.

Was a random thought, I just was thinking how the term hammer, you put it in the heating element and then set every up and then use it. I’m happy with your technique I was just curious.

This! Is how I used to work back in the day as I have ADHD too, vape and a coffee at the desk at home.

I didn’t even think of that, now I have a starting technique as I haven’t used the wand much, had it for a year but usually use torches with Anvil and Dynavap

You cheeky bugger :) I look forward to hearing your reviews :)

I use a leather pencil sleeve from Amazon. I linked it back on page 37. Cheap and fits great. I don't have a Dani so can't say if that would work.

this might be naughty but I have a spare Vestratto Anvil case, with the magnet at the bottom and a aluminum tube, its going to be perfect for the Tempest

I would love a bespoke wood case solution. Ideally from MadHeaters, or Phatpiggie, or one of the 3rd party wood specialists.

One that was larger and incorporated a Reload would be nice as well.

maybe the xl version of the case will fit but the og version won't fit... and even the xl might be too short.. (ok, I just measured the anvil with the xl mouthpiece at approx. 12.5cm, so it could be suitable I guess)

I have the XL version spare to try as I used my anvil in the WPA so, the magnet cap of the XL will be very useful

*smiles* its all quiet as everyone is off waiting on there test kits (if they were lucky to get one) and I live down under so, you all sleep most of the time I am on here :)

Repeatedly, I have turned on my ball vape, set a automatic time out of 45 minutes to let it heat up and then I planned on using it once it had heated up... 3 times I have been distracted and come back to it and it has turned off, and I repeat the process... very much looking forward to the Tempest but for now... where is my bloody Anvil lol

I'm here mate. Just been experimenting with hash on my lunch break. Tried the technique to reheat the tip with the wand while drawing on device. Like you are lighting a cigar. Worked amazingly for hash. The wand was bringing bowl back to temp in seconds. Just another feather in the cap. So many options with this thing.

I found the stem was getting hot to the touch after constant quick reheats to finish a large hash bowl. It always seems fine to hold it near where the carb rocker is. So you can always handle the device still. I would be very interested in trying this kind of use with a wood stem to mitigate this. I can see myself using Titanium mostly for its ease of cleaning and maintenance. But swapping in wood for long crazy sessions or massive hash bowls.

I know how to post longer videos now, so that will be my next one.

I like this idea. Am I right in assuming you weren't really taking note of the temp, just experimenting with drawing on the Tempest with the cap in the IH until it started producing vapor? and then when it reduced to "nothing" just dropping the tip un and drawing until it produced vapor?

I should look back and see how you set up your wand, I haven't had a reason to use it so I should pull it out and figure out how to use it before I get a Tempest.

I thought I was going to want to get a wooden stem, but the Titanium is just so much nicer that I was expecting. I will one day get the dark glass and a dark wood sleave, and sort of for the same reason, back to back usage with some compressed resin chucks or some hash; I didn't get a wood sleave for my Revolve as the reseller in Oz didn't have them so I am not sure how much insulation wood provides in this application.

I'm here mate.
*smiles* I figured people are lurking, its just interesting how quiet it is after the storm. I am sure we are just in the eye of this particular storm and those happy little people with Test Kits will start sharing pictures and reviews (hopefully) which should be interesting and fun, seeing a bunch of different - new - opinions.

I know how to post longer videos now, so that will be my next one.
Awesome, that's something I want to see & eventually replicate.
