The current hotsticks. T1 in the half bowl position on the Aezhenn stem, T2 in the full bowl position on the Framed Canvas. While the T1 is great for personal dosing, the T2 setup is the important one. Out of all the vapes I have, this is the one I use to vape out other people and frequently introduce folks to DHV with it. I do all the heating work, don't need to give out any instructions, and people get an amazing experience!

Been lurking this thread for a few weeks getting familiar with the Tempest2. Been glancing at the MAD site randomly and saw T2's available, immediately hopped on a midnight T2.
As I type this, racing green T2 is also available.

Once received, I'll be back with my experience.

Took a few years away from FC and the acquisition syndrome. I've been biding time until I grabbed a Tiny Might2. The tempest 2 vibe won me over though. Looking forward to it.
Hope everyone's been well!

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.
Mine clicks a little early for me as well, and I've been using it a good amount for about 2 weeks. For me it's not a big deal because I like using the Visual Indicator, but it would be nice if the clicks were closer to one heat extraction territory. Loving everything about it otherwise, I've barely used anything else since it arrived.

The purp really does look so sweet in person, especially in sunlight and low light conditions:

In my humble opinion, those are the two best vapes on the market.

If I buy another heat shield, purple is going to be it.

3-4 flash in manual at 230C and in auto until the end. Wait 20s and cheese ! Good flavor and the cloud is decent. I am ever surprised by the good airflow even with the bowl full and packed. I ordered in UK two good wpa that cost me a lot in tax and shipping, but finally don't use it.

Thanks for the advice on the vape needing to be worn in for the clicks to work properly. I've only done like 8 bowls.

I'll keep using the device to see if things change after being broken in more. Thanks for the tip!

Also in terms of debris, I'm assuming it's unlikely because this happened on the first bowl before really introducing debris. Now maybe a spec of something in my ispire wand got somewhere when I was burning off the water after cleaning, Idk what the odds of that are, but maybe it's possible.

Regardless, for now I'll just assume I need to break the clicks in by using the device more. Thanks again.

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.
I got the blue T2 and cant be happier. My clicks were working after about three or 4 cycles and have had no issues since. Enjoy it I cant think of a better device that offer so much at present.

Wanted to clarify one thing, how far off are we talking on the clicks? For me it clicks and then I wait 10 blinks on the wand after the clicks and usually get a medium-dark roast. I'm not sure if it's exactly 10 or a bit more, but maybe I'll count it out to get a better idea. Right now the second click leads to a light roast (greenish), so I'm wondering if that aspect is normal before calibration may occur.

Just thought I should check if your guys clicks were that off the mark before calibrating or was it already a little more in the ballpark.

I'm honestly using my t1 a lot today and it still delivers. I think that's what's making me get hung up on the clicks, this damn t1 is pretty on point. Gotta go calibrate that t2 and get some bowls in, what a struggle lol.

My clicks are working great now and the ABV is dark but not burned

I'm usually going about 4-6 Wand blinks past the second click until the VI is at the 1.5 to just under 2 mark, and let it soak until the VI stabilizes just under the 3 mark, intending to kill the medium bowl setting in one heatup. This is with the Wand set to 800F. I've been doing the same thing with a torch also. I like it to end up mostly brownish and not producing good vapor anymore, but not too dark. If I stop at the second click it results in what I would consider a light roast for me also, and reheats will yield hits just as big or bigger than the first heating. My clicks haven't seemed to change much since I first used it.

Interesting that 2nd click is still greenish for you.. How deep it sits in the wand is also a factor. Maybe try .5 to 1mm deeper next go? 2nd click for me is always uniformly tobacco brown/medium coffee (not dark roasted or all black - have to go to near timeout for that)

Clicks have settled into right before the 1st dot then 2nd click right on the dot just about. continues to rise to 2nd dot if stopping there.. First click is more like a softer thump (clicking a 🖊 softly) then the 2nd is a loud pop/snap.

Hit It & Quit It
Currently running 4500 joules at 70% on the Forge with the tip of the wagon wheel screw flush with the bottom of the wagon wheel. T2 is head is ~ 40% open, bowl is on the middle setting. Getting excellent flavor and light golden brown ABV with a little green in the mix.
Hey, may I ask about your settings?
Using zirc balls? High output batteries? I believe you barely get to first click using setting as described?
I'm around 4800J@80%, wagon wheel 3-4 screws protruding bottom, and 2nd click happens like 5sec after I pull it out. But I feel like I wanna go lower with heating power and raising wagon wheel...so your setting does sound good to me.

It's so damn hard getting these things dialed in while getting smacked for me... Then you switch balls, forget to write previous settings down, and it's all over again :D

Just a question : the ring on the v2 head don't move like the v1 to open or close the airflow. Is it normal or there is something wrong on my unit ?

You need to loosen the screw top of the head. Take care as mine (and some others) was on really really really tight. Ensure the screwdriver head is good. I've slightly damaged my screw head but it's ok for adjusting now. I believe the cooling spiral end piece can be used but for the first attempt I would use a proper screwdriver to apply sufficient torque. Replacement screws are also available.
Once loosened you can rotate the metal sleeve to adjust and then tighten screw back.
Bon courage!

Damn this got me excited for a brief second before I went to check and saw they were sold out :ugh: end of August for the restock can't come fast enough! Gives me a bit more time to decide on which colour to get at least!

I think the click discs are going to be similar to the dynavap caps, where all of them have slightly different tolerances. When I'm using the wand in auto mode mine normally clicks just as the yellow light goes solid, where it's getting towards the end of the cycle. I leave it i for about 10 seconds till it times out, and the Vi is just past the second marker.

This normally leaves the AVB a medium brown colour, but fully extracted. Once you get the wand depth and timing dialed in I don't even worry about the click. It does seem to be more accurate when using a torch

... Once you get the wand depth and timing dialed in I don't even worry about the click..

Exactly the same here. I get my second click before the wand times out, based on my settings. I can get two sessions out of my T2 and my ABV is medium brown. Flavor is plentiful as are the effects. It's now set and forget.

However, there are so many variables at play, wand adapter depth and type, differences in what's being vaped, even battery life in your wand... You can get close following other's settings but ultimately we have to find what works for us on our own.

Speaking of battery life in the wand... I took my T2 to our weekly private pool tournament this week, about 8 folks partaking. Fresh batteries in the wand and that thing lasted about all night. I could load of my T2, which we put on a bong, and two of my buddies could get nice hits from one load. I kept everyone quite happy for the evening but not so happy that I won, lol. I'm quite impressed with the T2 in a group setting. I've got a TM2 and a Dynavap and neither has been touched since I got it. I'm a happy camper to be sure!
