The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

[Vapoz]

by glass tube are you referring to the wand adaptor? afaik the glass was removed in v2 for increased performance as detailed in this thread.

Ah thanks, missed that one. Now i'm all set, but I think I'm gonna give my V2 stem another rinse and use the v2 head on the v1 stem.

Anyone else in the UK still waiting for a shipping note? Trying to avoid F5 and curtain twitches as much as possible.

How are people finding the ruby balls in their tempests? In comparison to zirconia?

Can you watch the Visual Indicator through that little gap from the sideview, while heating?

Yes you can see it.

If you cant see it clearly you can just push the Tempest up until his little head pops out

As im sort of on the subject (apologies for the semi sh*tpost)

Does anyone else think the cap kind of looks like a happy robot? You might need to squint a little to see it....

I'm having trouble taking out the ball screen on the 2. Is it more complex than just unscrewing because mine feels stuck.

Hi @Brenyo ,

Just wondering if the tip/head diameter of the v1 with the v2 upgrade kit installed will be the same as the standard v2?

I have a scruffy woofer cooling stand order coming up soon and would like one of the ports made for my v1 with upgrade kit.

Cheers mate.

“Use a standard sized screwdriver (2mm head) and shake the balls away from the center. Otherwise, a ball could get stuck and prevent you from turning it.”

please delete, i read the question wrong

Me too. I still couldn't eject it from yesterday, but will try again today.

I added Ruby balls to my order and they have been changed to Quartz for some reason. Anyone had this happen as well?

@MrJitterz @BushRanger i sanded a bit the 3 points where it does the click.

You might be getting the ruby's included, lots of other pre orders did

Yes, makes sense, but I need to get it out first. Gotta try with proper screwdriver, so I can apply more force, twisting handle instead of smaller screwdriver from Reload.

Hope nothing explodes ...jokes asides, no biggie, as Brenyo added free spare screen, so got a reserve in case anything goes wild.

Oh that would be super cool!

The IH sleeve is thicker, 12.8mm diameter.

It'll be way easier with a proper screwdriver. I might get a slightly looser screen later on, but it's easy to unlock with a normal screwdriver and I wanted to make sure that it won't come undone.

Thanks for the reply mate. Is the IH sleeve not part of the upgrade kit?

Cheers.
