    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I did exactly the same, thought I had been too rough with it but think I had put the coil in the wrong way round, upside down or on the wrong side of the bar, had very limited movement. Tried again and worked as before, full range again, might be worth giving it another go.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie (Pre Release Prototype) Comparisons

    That's more than enough for me mate, thank you! Think a TA3 might be worth picking up, the conduction difference sounds fun, plus the improved performance with solids, and this is the first thing to tickle my Vas since getting the Tempest

    I've had mine since Nov, no issues with the ball screen, usually has a little bit of give backwards but has never come close to falling out. Cleaned the balls in the head in iso but probably prefer giving them a torch in a metal sieve. Can see the results and frankly just very satisfying...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I've timed my heat up to 3rd notch, my test VI seems to be pretty bang on. These are heating on the centre ring, tempest upright, all single torches, even if your indicators are off should hopefully give you a guide, hope you get something! I like to do a slow steady draw to get the weed hot...

    Wand depth is hugely important, check the new instructions Brenyo provided for some good pictures. 1mm up or down on the height of your adaptor can make a big difference (there may be some variations in wand depth/coils so best to experiment, you will find your sweet spot). I usually use the...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I haven't really done a comparison between native and WPA on glass, do prefer using a WPA, shorter path and keeps the stem clean. Tbh I've barely been using any of the glass I used with the mighty and Dani Fusion, native is just so clean and easy. @Brenyo lovin the improved instructions, be a...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I was smoking my reclaim today as well, entirely by accident. Had disassembled and fixed my VI so had heated empty right to the max to test the indicator, once done I dropped it in my heatsink to cool. Noticed a big puff of vapour coming out the mouthpiece, and a 2nd time, the air being forced...

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    Ordered mine last night :rockon: wondering about the engraving options as well, engraving is only on the bottom I thought so won't spin as such? Also thought it was only text available. can't believe I'm hyped for a grinder, really looking forward to this!

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Fixed my VI :tup: third time re assembling, can't say it was any less fiddly, (definitely do not attempt after a drink or 2, actually had to give up last night lol) not sure why wouldn't get past the third notch before but back to working perfectly now Still preferring full bowl, direct tube...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Same, to both! I hit it exactly the same, nice slow flavour filled draw to prime it then a nice big hit, find re heating pointless, very little vapour and tastes bad. It is so fiddly just getting the top back on, even if you haven't removed the VI or anything, as you say it's just lining the bar...

    Dani Fusion by Battery-free Ganz

    My fusion 1 doesn't have the loudest click but it is clearly audible. I was doing a bit of a test on the fusion and tempest heat up times, this is heating empty on the bottom ring, spinning, upright, until click. And letting it cool down for an hour between reheats to ensure cold again. I...

    You can actually clean the whole head without removing the balls if you choose, soak the whole thing in iso, you can remove the part that has the clicks discs and VI first

    Dani Fusion by Battery-free Ganz

    Already been done, you can access the click discs in the tempest, the test kit discs are not calibrated correctly some people have just removed them entirely until the calibrated discs are released

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Clean as often as it needs, very easy to check inside and judge if needs it or pull the helix out for a check, 1 or 2 bowls a day would take a while to get dirty probably. Personally I haven't really seen much if any reclaim on the balls, I heat it standing in the wand so not taking any...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Looks like that troll has been hitting it pretty hard as well :lol: glad your enjoying, I can't get over how nice it looks as well, just gave my wooden stem a little bit of bee wax and wow, really makes it sing, brought out the grain so nice. Just managed to do 2 bowls back to back with no...
