Curious if the Ti pre-order model is a production model IE, nothing will change from that for the full release with color options?

HaggisHunter · Thursday at 1:26 PM

Looks tidy @Brenyo, I can't wait to try it out.
Will there be any new types of ball coming or are you sticking with the current selection?

Those new screens look really slick too.

How hot does the Ti model get, in terms of holding it after a bowl or two? @Brenyo

tasticleeze · Thursday at 1:32 PM

I wonder if they’ll do trade in’s for current owners of the flare.

I do hope they’re working with current popular manufacturers or developing a standard.

It’d be an easy question for all new hot stick vape reveals: “ is it compatible with BFG-2025 or MadHeaterV1 IH spec?”

It is, nothing will change.

3mm of all current options except boro, plus ruby and quartz in 3mm.

It doesn’t get hot at all anywhere on the shield.

Nice, thanks. I better get some work done for Saturday.

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

When is thr new flare ?

Shoot for the pre release or hold out for one with color? Last time I passed up on the beta and I very much regretted it...but the thought of having one in blue...

Do we know what the price of the aluminum shielded T2 is going to be?

Based on the website it looks like it’ll be about a 25 pound difference.

I’m really torn, it’s not a matter of whether or not I want a V2. It’s whether I want the all TI.

The price difference isn’t too bad and likely get it sooner.

@Brenyo I might’ve missed this but when would the pre-orders ship?

phenomflowers · Thursday at 5:15 PM

will the V2 ball screen fit V1?
Im interested in making an adapter to screw on the V2 head to turn it into a desktop ball vape with more airflow for a .5g bowl.
any chance of getting the vector cnc file?
thanks for your time and efforts

"The screens are NOT interchangeable; please select the screen depending on the version of the Tempest that you have."

@Brenyo will the V2 wood sleeve be available at preorder? Kit deal still says 10% off reload and wood sleeve, but the. banner says no accessories available at preorder. Thanks and nice job on this design!

Out of curiousty what would come colored if you were to choose a color? I see the VI is colored. But I'm wondering if that's the only part that has color? I haven't been following the thread as closely as I've meant to be. Trying to gather up the details so I can make a decision on what colorway I'd like to grab.
Lastly, will the full titanium shield/stem be available at the production release?
My apologies if this has already been discussed.

I_like_logs · Thursday at 10:47 PM

I believe full titanium is just for the pre orders.

Full TI only for the pre order early access. I believe the V2 will have the same colour options as V1 at the release around June, with an Aluminium heat shield. Anyone correct me if I’m wrong.

Is the initial pre order going to be extremely limited quantity? Or are we likely to get one if we checkout as soon as it drops?

There is no date yet.

I don´t know it it is "extremely limited", but it is limited.

The titanium shield is great, but for those who think about wait or not... the final one without Ti shield will be great too. :rockon:

The whole airpath is Ti with or without shield.

There will be zero functional difference. Ti is heavier, but both will be light regardless. Both will keep cool as it looks like the shield is designed to not have much contact with heat transfer points.

From a design perspective there is not really a benefit to Ti for the shield. Making the device cheaper for the buyer, with no sacrifice to functionality is a good decision imo.

I do also have sympathy for the obsessive vape collector mentality of wanting to own the limited full Ti version though

EDIT - Another benefit of Aluminium heat shield is extra shields will be cheaper to buy. So those who can't decide what colour they like can buy extra in the future with different colours.

Dirigible_Molecule · Friday at 6:05 AM

@RedZep - ha! I just want the bigger bowl asap so Ti aimed for if I can stay awake .... No VAS here, really, honest. Truly.

Cooler handling would be good though. And the simpler KISS design. Will look great with my other 11 no battery vapes. A Green/silver or black final version will be needed too. Chunky in the hand. Easier WPA function. All those screens and stuff oooo.

No VAS here.

And it is faster to produce than the Ti shield

I_like_logs · Friday at 7:38 AM

Hey @Brenyo - can you please delay the launch of the pre order for a few days? Just realised I'm not getting paid until next week.

I'm sure everyone else here would be happy to wait... :lol:
