This seems like a huge change!

From the head to the mouthpiece, it looks like a new device overall, the only thing that makes me recongize it as a Tempest are the visual indicator and the radiator holes.

Looks a bit more robust, also seems much wider around the bottom part of the body.
Do I spot new features? Some kind of airflow/turbulation control at multiple parts of the stem? Is that some kind of passive/active cooling system ?
Is the mouthpiece detachable at the part where it says tempest?
Is the leather case also getting a revision to fit it or will it still fit snuggly?
Sorry for the question bomb, this makes me very excited

cheers

Yes

Just at the airport

It fits in the original case

Agreed very interested to see the individual parts. Certainly a chunky monkey compared to the v1 aesthetic!

The stem has four main parts: mouthpiece, inner stem, heatshield, and the cooling unit that’s accessible under the mouthpiece.

Anyone tested IH compatibility?

Interested in the Flare and the wand.

Looks like it will have a really nice hand feel. I think the extra mass makes it look beautiful in all silver, Wow.

Brenyo confirmed it works in the wand. New adaptor made for it.

Do we know if new adapter will come with preorder? I heard Brenyo mention that the new adapter would be more efficient, but I don’t recall seeing specifics on inclusion.

I don't recall either.

It's on the site

Pre-order bonus: Wand Stand v2 (Includes the adapter, improved performance compared to the previous glass adapter)

Excuse me if this has already been asked as I didn't see it mentioned but does it still use an 8mm connection between the head and the stem?
Nice work again Brenyo, I'll definitely been picking one up

V2 head compatible with V1 stem?

Minsc_NBoo · Thursday at 10:11 AM

It's taken about 2 hours to go from I'm not sure about the new stem design to OMG it's beautiful

Dammit - VAS is kicking in hard

It looks much better IRL in my opinion

Awesome work, @Brenyo !

Is there reverse compatibility?
Does the v1 bowl fit to the v2 head?
or does the v1 head fit the new v2 bowl?

Dirigible_Molecule · Thursday at 11:49 AM

Love the industrial design, simpler, sleeker and to use a professional term it's utterly OOOOOoooooOOOO.

Take my titanium money!

This thing is sweet. My two main questions (apologies if it's been answered before, been away from these forums for a while):

1: Is the stem itself compatible with the v1 bowl+head?
2: (if yes to question 1) Will we be able to buy just the stem on this release or is that further down the line?

I have the v1 and love it but have always really wished I had a special WPA stem for it as that's how I use it. Would love to just buy this sans bowl+head, unless the new parts are improved enough to warrant picking up

V1 and V2 heads and bowls are not compatible I believe, V2 bowl and head are bigger so won't match.

Not saying I don't believe you, but you might have to send me one so I can judge for myself.....

(I thought it's worth a try

)

I guess really I was most interested in if it works with the Flare

status quo apparently

I like the idea of using the V2 stem as a dedicated WPA with the V1 head.

1: yes
2: yes in june

The head is the bigger improvement I think if you already have a solution for the WPA

It will work with the latest Flare that should be coming soon
