This. The T2 has great cooling. If T1 has more cooling, it isn't by a substantial margin at all. I also think some of the extra potency is due to the new stem.

I'm not sure how it is with the V2, but with the V1, I like SiC (2.5mm) for half-bowl settings. You get full extraction with just one heating.
For the full bowl one, I like to use 3mm Zirconia and enjoy the flavor. I'm excited to try it with the V1 update and more heat retention

As I'm still waiting on my T2, I am confident this is the best response to any debate about effectiveness on how well the two devices cool the vapor when compared to each other.
I'm interested to hear if anyone can provide their personal experience when attempting to create conditions as similar as possible when comparing the two devices - airflow settings (I understand they can't be identical due to the differences in the engineering), wand settings (while heating the devices both from room temp - same batteries with identical battery life would be ideal but unpractical), same flower (same grind, same pack, same mass), etc. I'd imagine multiple tests from multiple similar settings would be needed to best gauge.
Anyone feel like getting stoney baloney for science?

Always up for some science, what do you wanna know?
I'm in the honeymoon/testing phase, trying to find my favorite setup for it, so taking requests
I can tell you this for starters, in my opinion - without the cooling unit it is much different than a helix tube Tempest v1, but very similar to a direct tube Tempest v1. With the cooling unit it is more similar to the helix T1 and noticably different than direct T1.
If I was doing a blind Tempest draw test, v1 vs v2, I am pretty sure that I would not notice the difference... both perform very similarly and have that same signature.
Gotta say, the new adapter is the MVP though, it heats up faster and the batteries last longer - I am impressed.

Does anyone have a photo of the new wand stand and adapter? Will the original still fit the v2? I like being able to watch the visual indicator through the bottom while heating up

Mine feels like it can slide on it a little easier as well, doesn't cause me any issues fitting or removing though.
I noticed it with mine too, on the T1 head the screw protrudes above the surface ever so slightly even when tight, could it be that that's gripping the magnet better?
It's worn a wee circle on the magnet of my reload lid, it's not sticking out so high that it's removing metal as such, just affecting the finish a little. The screw head on my T2 seems ever so slightly below the surface.
I've swapped screws for old or new spares, screws from old model to new and vice versa and it was the same each time.
Maybe a slight variance in the countersunk drilling on the head piece not allowing the screws to wind down fully on some of the older tempest's, or some of the newer models it's countersunk a little too much?
Not causing me any issues.
Yeah it fits, but you need to bump the temp up, I'm at 330c-350c till time out with the zircs depending on the battery level.
With the stainless steel balls I'm around 345c til time out.

Couldn't wait any longer so I intercepted the package in the local postal sorting center early in the morning.
Iso bath done, about to dig in for the 1st time.
Had to take some pics with fresh, never heated head.

Having troubles unscrewing ball retaining screen. Its like stuck. Any advice on it?
Use a standard sized screwdriver (2mm head) and shake the balls away from the center. Otherwise, a ball could get stuck and prevent you from turning it.
The shipment is delayed by 1 day so the shipping will only start tomorrow if it arrives in time.
Am I think
Q: will ordering “extras” like the reload and screens and whatnot I ordered put me at the back of the line while we wait on spare parts too?

Here are a few pics. I'm using the original wand stand as well (pic #4)
I really like the new adaptor. I have had to drop the "temperature" on the wand when using the V1. I was going 310 to 325c using the glass adaptor. I've been using 280c with the new adaptor, so it's definitely more efficient
Do you mean for US orders ?

Can you watch the Visual Indicator through that little gap from the sideview, while heating?

I can see VI with one eye closed, looking between that gap yes.
It just rotates about 45 degrees anti-clockwise.Cant seem to make it. Any grooves I need to be aware of? Trying to switch to Quartz balls
The screen has 3 “ears”. Check if all of them are in the groove or not, because if one isn’t, that could make it very hard to unlock it. If it looks good, then one of the balls are in the way, try to shake it away or try it with a little more force.

V2 Ti - I have only just fitted the new one to my Wand... as the original worked very well, I waited.
I can see the indicator, even more clearly than the og where glass distorted the view 8)

Could it be I passed the groove and need to return?
I do have the screen in same position as in video before unscrewing.
Using Reload 2 screwdriver and deblower that comes with leather case.

Missing part should be in paper bag.
Believe with v1 adapter you gotta bumb the temp for 40°.

Ah mine came with 2 stickers, but there is no glass tube. So I use the V2 without glass tube? Only with the silicon underneath?

by glass tube are you referring to the wand adaptor? afaik the glass was removed in v2 for increased performance as detailed in this thread.
