There's a vid on the Tempest Manual page on HM's website that describes doing just that task. Titled: "Replacing the balls", about half way down the page. FYI: Be careful to make sure the cotton is suitable for this sort of use. Not all materials are cleaned enough to have no chemical residues...

Seems to me with many of these small and innovative companies there's a constant balancing act of managing their product(s) vs managing their customers vs managing their business. Each element effect the others, and the balance is constantly changing as external factors often unpredictable...

Curious, I have a TA on a revolve2 with an MH wooden stem, and a Tempest with an MH wooden stem (one rosewood one ebony) and neither stem shows that issue. I waxed them both a good few times early on, and now add a bit every couple months or so. They've both done fine, no sign of any seepage or...

The TA should have an o-ring around the 8mm part that fits in the end of the stem, that sits as near to the base of the bowl as possible, and acts to separate the metal of the bowl from the stem itself. No metal part of the TA cap and bowl should touch any part of the stem without having an...

PVD = Physical Vapour Deposition - essentially a coating in the form of vapour is deposited on the surface of the metal. DLC = Diamond Like Coating - essentially a coating of carbon atoms arranged in a structure similar to diamond to provide a very hard wearing coating. There are a number of...

Ditto, both my black and the blue heads have faded slightly, and in fact I think were very slightly different (a little less gloss finish?) even before use, but I can't be 100% on that.

I meant in terms of unseating the Vi coil so the Vi doesn't run smoothly or even jams (needs to be opened up and reseated in the housing). It's not permanent damage but does need fixing to get the Vi working properly again.

Although the TA doesn't have the Vi to worry about overheating.

Using a metal/magnetic heat sink is absolutely fine. I suspect you'd have to be really aggressive in the cooling to risk damage, hence the liq nic joke! I'm guessing you don't have a Reload then? If you're unfamiliar with them, I can tell you imho they are about the best way of doing back2backs...

You mean like using the Reload's decapper/heatsink? If so I'd expect Brenyo's recommendation to use this combination to mean it's perfectly safe! I'm not sure I'd use liquid N₂ though! 😄 I think the biggest danger is over heating the Vi housing, usually by heating it directly (you're unlikely...

Which is fair enough, but the beta program isn't about getting the finished 'pest early, it's about enabling it's development (which a small outfit can't finance as easily as a big company), and end-user testing that makes it the finished product it is today, and generally a chance to be...

I had to do it that way round, where the vid describes tightening the coil in the fingers and then clamping it with the tweezers to settle into the housing, the coil would unwind a bit too much because the tweezers couldn't hold it firmly enough against the tension of the spring, and after going...

My beta upgrade kit came with two click disks, a new induction sleeve, a new indicator housing and a new bi-metal coiled spring. The indicator itself you simply remove from the old beta housing and install into the new one, just as shown on MH's website in the Tempest manual page.

What's more, if the Oct batch is missed, a RevolveG2 w/o sleeve, plus a wooden sleeve and the 'pest head will give you essentially the same as a Wood Tempest, for about the same cost or not much more.

Interesting, I usually see only one value in general on the occasion I may look something up. What are the different criteria for the minima and maxima? I've seen different values for different temperature ranges, where I presume the properties of the material changes over the range to a...

I've no formal scientific education so I may be wrong but I think you're describing 'heat capacity' which is quantity related, rather than 'specific heat' which is unit-mass based instead. Which is why I was asking if density had a direct relationship with specific heat or whether it had a...

Apart from the fact you're quoting density while I was talking about specific heat (which would seem more relevant, but if density adds an additional factor to specific heat I'd be interested to know more) then you're saying the same thing as I am in the first place, no?

You're most welcome, I hope it made some sort of sense, in a stoned nonsensical sort of fashion!! 😵 The funniest (to me, anyway) was that the bit I acknowledged getting wrong... I was so stoned, I assumed I had got it wrong without double-checking! Dur! I actually had it correct the first time...

@pop22 For what it's worth, when it comes to getting results rather than simply venting, a polite message tends to gain much better results. This has zero relationship to how pissed off you may be, or how badly they've mucked something up. As @PrematureEvaporation says, the chances are the...
