The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

So its been nearly a week and its a beast. V1 had changed the way I vape entirely and had certainly challenged my requirement to have so many devices. V2 wasn't on radar but due to my joy of the tempest workflow it had to be done. It just has improvements across the entire device and its ability now to obliterate bowls delivers reliable, repetitive monster hits. Effects are off the scale and for me and the .15 setting but generally using sub .1 load is remarkable. Top job again @Brenyo

From what I’ve read, it seems like they get relisted for pre-order. But I don’t think there’s any announcements or anything though. Probably best to bookmark the product page and check a bunch of times throughout the day and hope you catch one.

We have a completed China trade deal

I was thinking from what people were saying that this device may very well cool enough to not need any additional cooling, even for us sensitive guys, but that is of course an outstanding way to easily get more and eliminate any possibility of the hit being too hot. And I already have a few of those I got for my Tinymight.

Sadly no room for it in my carry bag...

You've got it wrong!
It obliterates brains, not bowls!

I'll give some initial impressions. Only had it one day so far.

Its a completely different beast to the v1.
Feels good in the hand, well made.

Some kinda case is essential, otherwise you have no where to stick a hot piece of metal. I brought a pen case, thought I was getting the leather one I usually use for other TEDS. Turns out to be a cheaper one that melted. Bummer. Another is on its way. Kinda a shame it did not come with one, seeing its pretty much an essential item.

I like that you can select an airport setting and kinda lock it in place. Nice touch.

It hits way harder than the v1. Bigger bowl, bigger hits and finishes the bowl quicker. I think for most people that's a positive.

However it also is a trade off. Its hotter than the v1 (I generally max the cooling on the v1) and it makes my cough more. Will it be to harsh for my old lungs? Not sure.

So do I prefer the v1 or v2? Its too early to say for me. At the moment my v1 is edging it. Just because the vapour is more comfortable.

The v2 does look like it would be awesome through water. Must try it.

The T2 fits the leather case from the T1. It's showing as sold out on the site, but since Brenyo mentioned this (that it fits) I assume he's planning on re-stocking them.

It is most acceptable 8))) If it was warm it's then cool. Prefer it naked however as water holds onto things we want.

What about a v2 head with a v1 stem?

i feel like this will be worse case scenario for me as i need super cool hits & have read a couple folks mention V1 is easier on the lungs. hoping it’s not so bad! either way, stoked to receive

I find the T2 to be way smoother and easier on the lungs than the T1.
But I mainly use mine through a dry ceramic piece, no water.

I have sensitivity issues in the throat and I'm getting on better with the previous stems/helix design, especially for chaining bowls.

But the new head delivers better effects from the materials in the first place, so I'm finding that there isn't any need to chain bowls, so for the time being I'm running the stock stem, I will probably swap to the v1 stem permanently as I find it easier for one bowl too, but it's still all new and want to use it for a while first.

I think tariffs with China have been paused for 90 days. I think there will be a lot of happy American Tempest fans soon.

Yes , let’s get shipping woot !!

I love using the stem as a WPA. Let's you do big bowls on small pieces comfortably, with wide open airflow.

This is 0.15g bowl, airflow half closed at tip, airflow fully closed at stem. Monster hit. Amazing extraction.

EDIT - That potency again. Wow.
