So I only have done a handful of bowls so far.
First, I love the purple, was wanting the blue but am glad to have the purple, looks great in person.
The device feels bulky compared to the first, this is obvious from what it looks like though lol.
One issue I had which is a downer is my clicks seem to not work. The second click comes in very soon after the first one (at least compared to tempest 1). It's 3 blinks on the wand vs 7 or 8 like the tempest 1. Might be normal but I feel like it isn't. I was following till the second click like I do with my tempest 1, but the roast on my avb was very light and nearly green when doing this. So idk I'm hoping I can get this fixed because I relied heavily on the clicks for my T1 and the T2 is not letting me rely on clicks at all. That's the one and only gripe I have atm. It's a tough one because I've started using the T1 heavily recenlty and I can't help but compare the user experience of being able to rely on audio as I look around waiting on the wand, instead of having to change numbers and stare at the wand until it's done blinking.
Regardless, I started taking out the device and observing the visual indicator instead (never did this with t1) and the green indicator makes it easy to see, so that's good lol. I stop it around the second mark usually and then vape.
I have used the wand with the first adapter at about 605 and some times add a little more heat on top depending on the visual indicator. I have gotten incredibly even roasts and the vapor is plentiful. I am using the smallest bowl setting on the t1 and t2. I thought the t2 would be another good microdoser like my t1, but atm I'm pretty convinced it might be a little too powerful to be using in the same way I use the t1. The difference in the amount of vapor and maybe the effects (need to test more) is notable. So atm I'm relegating the t2 to nightime use personally lol, maybe someday I'll try it as a daytime doser but this thing packs quite the punch imo.
I've done 2 sessons with 3 bowls each and the effects are some of the more intense I've had in some time. It's quick and effective. I do think the high is heavier than the t1 but I need to test this out more. I have had some heavy high convection vapes before that I never got along with (p80) and I find the effects to sometimes lack the headiness of less heavy convection (idk, that's what I notice at least). The T2 I find to still have that headiness to go along with the heavier effects, so I'm happy it so far seems to satisfy in numerous ways.
I have only used it for a couple nights so far, so I need to play with it more before drawing more conclusions. But I did want to mention the click issue here and the fact that this vape has a signature that's pretty distinct from the T1. I have also used a jhook exclusively with the t2 and the t1 only native, that might play into things as well. I just think although the vape is a sequel to the first, it almost feels like it's in the different vape category almost. Sort of like the convector ti vs convector xl, similiar in some ways but also drastically different. Idk, maybe it's not that distinct a difference. I just think the T2 upgrade from the T1 is worth considering. Also, sorry to fuel vas lmao, I'm just quite satisfied with this one extra vape I did not need lol.
