Well, I am gutted. My tempest has been treated pretty hard since I got it, (26th November) it's been tossed about in a rucksack while I've been on my mountain bike. It's been in my pocket while out and about on a bike. It's basically done a lot of miles on a bike. I've been deliberately harsh...

Oh they're there, just really stubborn 😆 Definitely looking forward to having them click to see how they relate to the VI.

Best position I've found for the adapter is so it's sitting just proud of the red bit at the bottom. Can't achieve that flipping it the other way round. As @RedZep said there's an adapter and it's closed at one end so it can't go right through. I can hold them both upside down with one hand...

I've been using the wand personally, the initial heat up does take a bit of time, but generally I've been getting better, more consistent results with the wand over the torch so have stuck with it. Once the initial heating has been done, subsequent bowls heat up really quick which is good. Only...

Haha, I actually forgot about that. I do fancy having a TA, it is the forerunner after all and I definitely fancy having one. Plus it has a really appealing price. Last big bike ride I went on, when all the hard techy bits were done, I loaded up on the side of a hill, took my time with it, then...

I was in your boat, the tempest was the device for me. My wife doesn't partake so she wasn't keen on me getting a desktop that might look like a science experiment, I wasn't really into the big hitting handhelds available, for one reason or another, I'm really fussy.... Heavy hitter or micro...

I'd assume packaging. The packaging on their products are usually as well made as the devices.

These things are great, been telling folk about them for years. I'm still on my first I bought 3 years ago. It went a bit funny last summer so I bought a replacement, it's still in the box as my original kicked back into life again. Been using the wand most of the time but I'm gonna give...

I had this exact thing a few weeks back, turns out I had put the discs in the wrong way round, but mine wouldn't go past the first line either. If I remember right the edges of the discs should be closer to each other, the middle further away - like a clam shell. I'd put mine in the opposite...

About once a week, that's the bowl and stem, I'm using the helix tube, both airflows are about 3/4 closed. I've reduced my material consumption recently due to finances, so I'm probably only running about 3/4 bowls through it in the evenings. Tip gets cleaned once a month.

I'm not wanting to risk anyone having a go at me, I'll avoid getting into comparisons, there's another thread for that. Flavour on those set-ups was a little diminished, but this is very different. I guess it's the convection that does it, but this tastes far better than the aforementioned...

Omnivap, as in a Dynavap stem? It's too hot. I have an Omnivap, I wouldn't put the tempest head on it, I know from use the tempest head is going to produce too much heat for a standard Dynavap stem.

No worries, the green or the lighter purple might be better. I was going to try multiple colours, but that would have been really time consuming with one VI.

I anodised all the titanium parts a deep purple when I got mine. Then polished the indicator back up about a week later. Biggest issue was I couldn't see the indicator moving when it was heating inside the wand, with a torch it's not and issue. I use my wand for reheating as well, I couldn't...

I used to use the wooden sleeve on the gen 2 revolve with my Dynavap tips and it was all good there too. But as soon as I added an armoured cap and shoved a spacer under the CCD for more thermal mass, I started getting a bit of irritation when using the wooden sleeve, glass and titanium were...

I've been using the wooden sleeves this last week or so, I think I'll be sticking with the titanium most of the time from now on. I think I prefer the feel of the device in hand with the wooden sleeve. I get issues with sensitivity in my throat, using the wooden sleeves this last week I have...

Probably about as well as it deals with the heat from the tempest, not very well. The helix etc works fine, it's the titanium sleeve, it can't process the heat fast enough, there's not enough material, that's where the heat shield really comes in, the sleeve deals with the heat and the shield...

I have one tempest, I also run gen 1 & 2 revolve cooling units in the new wooden tempest sleeves - rosewood and ebony. I don't feel any significant change when I swap the head over to these older stems, other than heat dissipation, but that's down to the new stem being so effective at getting...

The new radiator sleeve and heat shield work fine with the older gen 1&2, from my experience the airports line up just fine. There is a slight difference in that the helix tube no longer has an MTL and DTL setting, but with the helix airport and the airflow settings on the head, the mouthpiece...

I have sensitivity issues with inhaling anything now, but that's down to a medical issue. Strains can have an affect, I had one a couple months ago, can't remember what it was called it but it was really scratchy. I also have some thin mint at the moment, this is also a bit scratchy in use...
