Got mine yesterday, stem is heavy and seems solid. After a quick clean, I did a half pack with a 10 sec preheat on the wand, a small exploratory terp puff, then another 6-7 sec heat to a dense, thick, flavor forward bong hit.
Denser than my ZX, but cool vapor that snuck up on me when I exhaled. It was like a perfect Lotus pull, with all the flavor and density to cash 0.1-0.2g in a hit and a half but with an easier to reproduce process with the wand. Clean up hit tasted poopy and cashed after heat after 6 sec or so. Last heat probably wasn't necessary but finished the load to a deep coffee roast.
The stem bowl held on to quite a bit of heat due to the density and heft of the material it's made of. I can see back to back bowls needing to factor that in for heat times. I imagine that conduction would factor in for back to back bowls as well.
The cap needed to be tightened to the stem, as it was moving from magnetic fields produced by the induction heater. It even pulled the cap off when I pulled the vape out of the wand without stopping the heating cycle.

i did try a few bowls yesterday with the supercap. The cooling is ok for me personally, but it can get a little hot.
i do like it overall, the weight, the simplicity and its easy to clear a big bowl. I will try the regular camocap after fixing it today.
It is compatible with the ceramic condenser from the regular convector, if you want to use that.

Does anyone with the Ceramo also have a Tornado to do a comparison with?
Can compare once mine arrives

Mine arrived today and as others have said the caps (camo and super capacitor) were too loose. The wand pulls them both off. After adjusting I managed to get them to stay on.
The draw is very open compared to the XL and you really can feel the heat. Personally I think I will try to add a bit of cooling with a condenser or pop it into a J hook.

the wand pulling the cap off is how you tell it's time to adjust the fins happens to cxl too.
I am planning on a mp and cooling spiral anyway, found the cxl too hot on the tongue w/out something more than native.
I first tried it with a J hook, don’t see a need to try it any other way. I’m digging it!

Mine should be here this coming week. How many Wand flashes are the Wand users out there seeing for good hits? Heat/re-heat strategies?

Yeah, so mine does the spins too, it's kind of amusing. If I press it against the glass rim it doesn't move. Cap has been adjusted with the tool to fit snugly enough not to fall off, but loosely enough to come off with a magnet. I think it's just a quirk of the polished ceramic being a slick surface. I give it a little tap to secure the capwhen I take it out of the wand, or hold it at a jaunty angle like FDR to hit it
For cooling I have added 2 ruby pearls and a few 5mm boro balls, a little screen to keep them out of the mouthpiece, and a press-in dynavap mp.

Most definitely. I was not prepared for that to happen the first time. I've been using the TA4 with the wand for the last few weeks and my foggy brain didn't register what had happened for a good 5 seconds, hahaha.
Yeah, I went straight to a dry bong with this guy. I feel like that's where it's going to shine. Wide open DTL hits, not MTL puffing and sipping. I have other stem based vapes that are tough to beat used natively.

I have the regular (non-XL) Convector and have never seen this effect. Maybe the larger cap size plays a role or the ceramic itself? If I hadn't read about it here before I'm sure it would've surprised me too
I agree that it probably will shine when used with a nice hook or dry rig for big open hits. I'd still like to see what it's like natively with some added cooling beads kept in place with a nice 8mm mouthpiece. Hopefully a ceramic mouthpiece if I can find one.
Did the condenser help or hinder the cooling of the ceramic stem alone in your opinion?
How did you guys find the taste? Any differences compared to the CXL if you have both to compare?
Just getting into analogue vapes and am worried that the Ceramo I ordered is gonna be too hot for me. I'd prefer to use something native without glass, which ones do you have that are your fav's to use natively?

Nice!native schmative, I put a mouthpiece and usually a cooling spiral on everything, seldom use glass.
just missed a black trww mp that would a been perfect for ceramo, if it ever ships.
You seem to find some cool mouthpieces. Know where to find a nice ceramic one for the Ceramo?
Is this from Camouflet?spoiler alert, but just a tease

How are you finding it?
