I've attempted that already with no luck. There's a bit of movement but not enough to release it. I've guessing the previous owner didn't use no lube on the o-rings and never took it apart so it's seized on the o-ring

Have you tried heating it up to make the metal expand a little first?

I assume the WPA sits in there lightly enough for a Reload to pull it out no problem? My fingers have concerns haha

I wouldn't try pulling the WPA out with a magnet, due to risk of tipping the glass...but yes, this WPA is very low profile, gotta pay attention when lifting. It does sometimes make you feel the heat...at the cost of looking sleeker. :)

@Brenyo Can you use the v2 indicator with the v1 upgrade kit? Saw that the v2 indicators were available in silver. If not, is there any way to get the green color of the new visual indicator in the v1 upgrade kit`? Or can you still use the v1 visual indicator with the rest of the upgrade kit?

Yes, the V1 upgrade kit includes the V2 pointer in green.

@MegaChip i think the indicator housing and indicator are compatible. The only different piece on the upgrade kit is the layer, since the v2 and v1 have a different layer length

Edit: brenyo has been faster :lol:

Tempest 2 will probably arrive by tomorrow. Have used the first version mainly with torch, resulting in a decolorization of the head. Turned greyish. Still a problem with the T2?

Otherwise I'll try to use it with induction only.

Every manual device I’ve ever seen, will discolor, no matter how it’s heated. An IH definitely gives it a lighter, more even discoloration though. I actually like how my Tempests and Tornado look after some use in the Wand. It almost has a bronzed look to the heads.

I wanted to post this so people that are familiar with Scruffy cooling stands realize that the tempest v1 and v2 have different size heads. In realizing this and since I love them both so much I decided to get a dual stand for them. Then another for my tornado these are copper inserts with an aluminum body. It was my fav combo with the 2 stands I already had been using for a while.
