    any chance there will be a small batch of the new reloads before the "normal release" of the t2 or can i just chill (as in: not visit the mh website every day) until the end of August?

    use a proper tool - at least thats what did it for me when i tried to unscrew it for the first time. i tried the c shaped tool and the tool from the leather case. both started to bend :/ then i tried a tool i had randomly lying around - it didnt bend, but sadly also had a very thin handle, so i...

    You can identify them by size. Quartz are 3mm and boro are 2,5 mm. just compare them to the preloaded 3mm zirc balls in the t2 (or to the preloaded 2,5mm zirc balls in the t1 head). or just roughly count how many you can get into the head. 2,5 mm should be ~80 balls; 3mm should be ~40 balls.

    1 - the bare part 2 - thats the fun thing, its up to you! find a setting that you like and that suits you. i usually have my head 1/5th - 1/3rd open. closed stem for wpa-use, open stem if i use the tempest directly. 3 - no, but you can. i cover it with my finger/thumb most of the time. the...

    if you got the same extra zirc balls as me. then the extra ones should be 2,5mm. your head has 3mm pre-installed.

    ok, i just successfully unscrewed it. turns out i used the wrong tool. i tried it with a precision mechanics screwdriver meant for watchmakers. one that has no handle and is obviously not supposed to apply any meaningful force. just went trough my tools again and found one that has a handle and...

    i only ever paid attention to the updates/differences of the head, since thats the only thing i own of the v1. so thanks for clearing that up! edit: is there any trick that helps with loosening the screw on the head? mine wont move a bit. i just double checked with my v1 head. i can loosen that...

    can someone enlighten me on how to set the "Airflow Tube options" on the v2? does it even still have 3, like the v1 or was it reduced to open and closed/bypass(?) only? sorry if its a stupid question, but its my first full device.
