    Filling Heads with Vapour Since Tomorrow The Daily Vape The Ides of March 2024 I think you'll find that all the TA's (beta, 1, 2, 3 & 4) will behave differently, even more so for those with variable airflow vents. I'd make sure you know which is being compared to the pest...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Heat from Head = Heat in vapour + heat in stem (and a little loss to the environment). Classical Physics don't lie, as long as you don't squint too much and look in the cracks! Nice explanation @VapingYogi, I can't see how people don't realise that heat is like water, it has a 'quantity' and if...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Fair enuff, but not for me, the old lungs are bad enough as it is, heat shrinking the remaining alveoli ain't my first priority! 😣 It's such a nice device when you get the behaviour a bit sussed and it really starts to kick in. Think I've said this before, but right from the start it was really...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I had wondered about that. If the stunner is using a simple steel tube wrapped in carbon fibre, the resin is going to act as a fairly good insulator, but that means there's going to be little cooling of the vapour?

    Me too, came in half bowl mode, which makes sense as it's easier to go to full, than the opposite direction. I tried a couple, which worked very well, but too small. I found a looser packed full bowl works great for trying to do as few draws, to make up for the deeper bowl not getting so hot at...

    That does look very nice indeed! How are you finding the heat with the Rev and it's sleeve? It's a Mad Heaters Revolve Gen2, with the wooden sleeve option.

    I'm sorry, my sense of humour sometimes loses it's sense of humour without telling me! Wasn't a jibe or anything! Maybe cultural? (I'm totally uncultured! 🙂) The meerschaum is the same sort of shape as a hook, or at least some of them, maybe I haven't seen a big enough range...

    I'm UK so I wouldn't know where to go US wise, but maybe try some of BFG's affiliates in the list (if suitable to order from) and see what they have? Not sure what else to suggest, but likely someone else here will know better than I.

    Presume you're US? Try here for some distributors, and I think you can buy on the site itself too. https://tedsvn.com/pages/find-a-store

    Cool! Nice to know they fit both stems! Far as I can see the Revolve is nigh on the same bar the outer sleeve and the Revolves extra MTL/DTL setting near the mouthpiece. Well I bloody well hope TA works on a Revolve since that was the direction I've gone in (so much for servicing the car this...

    Well I've only had my pest for a few weeks, maybe nearly a month, and using it daily, almost exclusively. When I look down into the bottom of the heater (where the bowl sits when attached) it's spotless. I really couldn't tell if it's been used from inside there! That said, I use very carefully...

    oops! I must have run out of fingers when I counted! 😁 I figured you could set the adjustables for even lower flow than TA1. Just one point - PP reckons the heater should never need cleaning once it's had it's initial 'buff up' to remove manufacturing fluids (oils mostly I think). I'd take the...

    Well I can only see this as being a real advantage if you want to regularly change the material in the heater - the balls, for something else (different material, size, shape, quality ...). This means not having to remove the screen, which seems a lot more troublesome. Or maybe if removal for...

    I would very cautious about that. It's main action would be more likely simple abrasion. Baking soda is a mild alikali - a base. But oxalic acid, is, surprisingly, an acid, the opposite of an alkali. I presume the reason oxalic is used is because of that mild (it's a weak organic acid (weak is...

    My own take was it's a TA3 with a threaded top cap, so your bottom doesn't have to be removed to change ya balls. 😉

    Oh, I absolutely agree! You should see my split ends! Dreadful! 😁 I suspect the whole design of the Tempest will change so much of the geometry and air flow, it's not directly comparable with the TA's. Just the diameter of the heater and the smaller balls would be a major factor. I believe the...

    Ah! Yes! that was exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of - re: the radiator fins! Thanks! Aw, it wood[sic] be lovely to afford one of those beauties! Best start saving I guess! 🤑 Oh, I see, yes, now I know what you mean. That's a nice option to play with, cheap enough not to care if it...

    Ah, interesting, you wouldn't be able to post a piccie would you? (if it's not a pain) Ah, not familiar with these, got a link to somewhere just so I find the one you mean? (I don't know if there are different types?) Thanks both!

    Well I'm an ingenue to this game of portable ball-vapes and similar devices like anvils and such. So learning a lot as I go still. My take from my own experience with the similar stem of the Tempest, and what I've read/seen from others - reviews, forum msgs, etc. that the Revolve G2 is about as...
