Titanium for the heat shield here is simply a luxury at a slightly higher weight. Titanium is my spirit metal though so I wanted it 100% grade 5 including the shield. AFAIK it was only an option for preorders and aluminum heat shields will be the only option moving forward.

I'm still catching up on this but I've never had a pure convection device before and the 10 or so pages I read drew out enough VAS to get me to place an order while the 420 sale is still up. This I really hope is the last one for me until later this year 😅 How bad is the ambient odor on the...

This is it. The NTN bearing is smoother and higher quality, just doesn't spin very long. It will outlast the others he's used but honestly any bearing in these should last a lifetime. The suggestion of selling without a bearing as an lower cost option is interesting though and I think there...

NTN black bearings I have go about 5 seconds. The blue one I got first goes 15 or so seconds. That sounds about right from my experience. I wanted them to go longer but dont see much point in ceramic bearings and losing the magnetic top so I've made peace with the spin times and moved on.

I got mine from the mailbox earlier this week but the primary thing I wanted to test it with was the Tempest. The small discs are about 1-2mm too large in diameter so I would need to grind those down and maybe run through the ultrasonic cleaner to make sure all dust is removed. Im not sure I...

MAD is one of the only businesses (not just in this space but in general) that has earned my complete loyalty and "take my money" applies to. I saw the email for the preorder, had no knowledge of the device and immediately ordered without a second thought. I'm continually impressed with...

Is that confirmed somewhere? I'd like to pick up accessories so it's ready to go whenever it shows up but no clue what I should be ordering since they only said they were compatible with the OG on the website.

I just bought a Tempest 2 and Aroma XL in preorder form. I hadn't read much on the og legacy pro until AFTER a knee-jerk fomo price-fueled buy (good job with your comments on here, everyone!). Having read a bit now, though, I'm kinda excited to give it a go! I don't use my Mighty+ as much...

Am I crazy or do you have a different "documentary" link from him? I'm not sure you would have spent so long writing if you didn't click on it 😆 Either that or I missed the third joke, whoch is entirely possible Reading more about the Tempest 2 though, I'm pretty excited to give it a go! I'm...

Haven't followed the thread much the past few months but I saw the preorder email and im sure I really dont need it but ended up getting one anyway. The bigger bowl is interesting!

Looks interesting, picked one up! Thanks and look forward to trying and providing feedback!

Did anyone end up getting one of the newer units and have any feedback? This piques my novelty gadget interest... I see the first batch is sold out on the website and pre-orders are up for another one expected to start shipping in about a month. From looking online it sounds like it works...

Yeah I tried soaking and massaging it in near-boiling water mixed with dawn and it helped a lot, but it was still so strong that if you removed it from an airtight container it would stink up a medium-sized room in about 15 seconds. I never realized silicone could get that bad! Lessons learned...

This right here. I did too big of a load last week and it made a bit of a mess. I discovered after 3 iso baths there's 1 or two seams inside the chamber and that's how my oil was getting in behind the walls. Stick to small dabs and you will be happier in the long run. The mouthpiece I decided...

Hmm I might have picked that up if I saw it when I got the rig kit. I don't really see much use for the slots in the universal case I got since I don't use alcohol pads much. As another follow up, the rig from remicollin has replaced everything to become my daily driver. I have only used that...
