I keep hitting my Tempest empty. I've gotten in the habit of emptying the bowl but not refilling it right away for fear of losing goodness from conduction if I don't intend to hit it right away. Usually I've grabbed another vape for a hit or two, and when I get back to the Tempest, I forget to refill it. Level of buzz is a factor of course. And also of course, when I get that empty hit, it's like, duh.
I have a system. If it's day time and I know I will hit the Tempest again, I reload, then place it in the wand ready. If I intend to leave it empty, I place it on the Reload magnet. So I can tell at a glance if I filled it or not.
I was very tempted to pick up one of those green ones but I decided I would wait and let everybody get their first one before I got my 2nd one...
Actually, when they become available I'm more likely to just get a second head so I don't have to keep taking it apart to use it on glass.
My intention is to have a head set half bowl, Boro balls, on a WPA. And another head/bowl set to full on a Ti or wood stem. I'm always swapping so will be worth it.
I haven't even looked at another vape since getting the Tempest in November...it's pretty much perfect for me and I have been through all of the top tier vapes out there.
This will be the first 4/20 in ages where I can't think of anything to buy. Really struggling. Tempest is just holding it down too hard.
Over a month in with my Tempest and I am about as happy with it as I expected to be, my incredibly high expectations have been fully met. I was a bit worried about cleaning/losing the balls but it has gone reasonably without issue, only one ball has been a casualty and I will blame that in a hole between the tiles.
I've just been rocking the rosewood stem since I got it, it just looks too good.
I do have a question though. if you are in the UK what do you use to lubricate the O-rings after you have done a clean? I have finally used the last of the little pot that came with my Dynavap a couple of years ago.
The yogi first sits, before meditating on his breath, for he always has his breath with him.
The FC poster lubes with nose grease, for he always has nose grease with him.
I think you get the final click discs, final VI spring, the two steel parts on the head have been remade in another steel.
Leather pouch.
Final bowl screens.
I'm in UK and the kit will be £25 I believe.
Kind of mind blowing that my favourite vape of all time is not even it's best version yet
what temp and depth do you use for a half bowl?
I don't really mess with the wand temps. I set it to max and manually time with my watch. This was about 37 seconds with 2.5mm Zirc balls. Wand adapter depth is flush with the red silicone.
@VapingYogi I really appreciated all the ball material testing you were doing. Makes me want to experiment again with Boro.
Stem noticeably longer of course and wide open airflow. It did get pretty warm to the touch, even at the carb (full bowl, single heat). Might need a minute to do a second bowl.
