I usually prefer carbed on this style of vape. Easier to regulate heat, can be helpful if also using it with a water pipe. Sometimes your finger might get sticky, but that's maybe a reason to clean it haha.

Mine arrived yesterday. It fits my wand from the top, but I've only used torch so far. I vaped one bowl on water followed by a few on the no-carb TSwooden stem.
It is as advertised! The vapor is sooooo smooth. Native doesn't seem to be holding me back from pushing as hard as I'd like, so I'll probably just use it that way.

I hope that’s not the only reason you clean your finger. Thanks, I’m here all week.

A revolve cooling unit in one of these grav bubblers makes one of the smoothest experiences with the tornado ever! Probably the smoothest I've ever experienced.

Re: this thing about not iso soaking the bowl - seriously? This can damage it?? I've not come across this with other TED's, it seems crazy if this is a recognised issue, and ISO soaking is a common known cleaning method for TED's, why no warning?
Can you say where you got that info @TedJones?
Why is this an issue?
I have the no-carb version and I have no complaints. The vapor is cool and the stem doesn't get hot.

I never clean the bowl anyway. I don´t use screens. I don't clean the tornado oven from the outside (very authentic patina) and I do ISO and a pipe cleaner once in a while and that's it. I'm a vape slob and to me, Tornado is very easy to get along with.

Yeah, I haven’t heard that about the Tornado, specifically. I do always hear people say to not iso soak Dynavap caps. But that if you do, just make you rinse it good and let it completely dry. Otherwise you can mess up the click discs if you heat up the cap while there’s still moisture in there.
But I iso soaked my whole Tornado when I got it, and have done it a couple times for cleaning since then. Never had any issues, so I’ll continue doing it. And even if I somehow mess up the click discs, it won’t bother me, as I don’t need them anyway.

Dani caps with the discs specifically. Supposedly an iso soak can damage them to where they don’t work properly. I’ve swished my Tempest head in iso for a minute as recommended by MH with no issues. Probably could do that with the Tornado bowl too. Mine stays super clean just using flower. Just a brush out after every bowl and a wet swab here & there

A couple of pages back is this comment about that particular stem:
Hope this helps.

I'm having heat lock issues. I leave it unscrewed almost half a turn. Maybe its the wand? I have to keep a set of pliers on hand when using.

I do too, especially on back to back bowls. Takes mine 5-10 mins to cool down and unscrew

It depends on the package u ordered. For example my full device didn’t say preorder anywhere but the same full device with the new stash container/debowler said pre order all over it
I got a pre shipment notification yesterday already for my 420 order
(I’m in California )
I’m preparing for the worst like tariffs, preorder shipping delays and postal strikes but it looks like I might luck out at least on shipping times..
We shall see. Wish me luck.
The anti iso soakers say that iso gets trapped between the click disks (bimetallic disks that spring and click when a certain temperature is met) and will compost when heated with a torch and damage them, I have never had this problem so I don’t know if it is true. After I iso soak my vape parts I heat them with a heat gun to evaporate all the iso. I reassemble then do another heat cycle while empty. I have iso soaked all of my Anvil and Tornado parts and I never have issues. I have also never needed to replace any o-rings on any device.
What are the dimensions with the stem? Lenght and width?

I've been using this stem since it came out, and I haven't even wanted to spend money on the official Vestratto stem for the Tornado
It cools the vapor very well, and the wood adds elegance versus the industrial style of Vestratto.
And as amazing as it is, I've never coughed with it.
That's also due to the magic behind the Tornado's design... and its vapor, which is non-irritating to me.

I have a question for anyone with a stem they like on the tornado. how close is the balance point to where you like to hold the stem? I put the tornado on a stem that i love to use with my tempest (via adapter) and it became so tip heavy that i didn't care for it and swapped back. I was thinking I might need a heavier stem for the tornado. For those with modified anvil stems thats basically the half rig right? where is the balance point for you? I'd ideally love a wooden stem lined with metal or glass but i suspect it would be too tip heavy for me. Can a stem like the half rig take a wood shield?

@Oden So is the vapor cool or hot ?!
You wrote this in the Simrell vaporizer thread...

Ok, thanks! I did try a Fusion 2 but the click disks were so quiet (I tried a replacement head as well) I could rarely hear it above the jet flame and it was pretty damn useless for me, I wonder if they were dud's? The Tornado clicker is much louder.Dani caps with the discs specifically. Supposedly an iso soak can damage them to where they don’t work properly.

I must say I'd be surprised at iso damaging a bimetal strip, although maybe heating when it's not all evaporated (plus any moisture it would attract on evaporating) is more conceivable, but that's only an opinion, I've not read of this before.
(pleased to say regardless, I only wiped my nado clean with iso and q-tip on receiving, didn't iso soak).
For what it's worth, I've stuck mine on the end of a wood Tempest stem using a scruffywoofers adapter, and with the bowl on but no weed the balance point is almost exactly where the wood meets the adapter, around three fifths of the way from the mouthpiece.
As I hold it like a pen, with my finger tips just reaching that point of balance, it's not too badly balanced and for me is good enough not to need something different.

It depends on how intensely you heat your nado.
But I like intense hits with my nado, so it's hot without making me cough
