    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I'd swapped out 2.5mm zirc balls for a mix of 3mm zirc and SiC a bit ago, and I hadn't cleaned the zirc balls I took out of the head. I just torched them in a mesh tea strainer (alternating between opening it to torch, then closing to shake and bring the un-torched balls to the top). It worked...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Mine's quite even and has held up great. Mild color changes on the part nearest the tip with repeated Wand and Forge heatings, but I think you'll see that with any color.

    Venty by Storz & Bickel

    I like the Air Vape Legacy Pro capsules. I want to say they're gold-coated SS? They're nicely put together and a little wider and shorter than S&B (or third-party upgrade versions), so I don't think they even touch the bottom of the bowl. They can get kinda stuck if you let the ceramic get...

    HerbalTherm 3TM Cooling Stem for VapCap

    Good question...I like the 3TM but tend to use it less because it never goes anywhere with me. I'm hoping to make it my go-to with the Thermal Accumulator once the TA4 becomes available on VGoodiEZ.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    If you're using a Wand, you'll want the adapter for the Tempest (included with preorders, at least on the UK site).

    Thermal Accumulator by phattpiggie

    l think the goal was sometime this month, pending some equipment repairs / replacements.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Congrats on the product launch, and congrats to the many people who are going to get to try the Tempest for the first time! There's a learning curve, but it's 100% worth experimenting and dialing in the experience; this is my hands-down favorite for solo use and produces the coolest, tastiest...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    Some kind of unbreakable (ideally dry) cooling piece might have a decent market. Apparently the Vestratto Tornado is meant to be used through a bong or rig rather than natively. I mostly vape on my back patio (which is a mix of concrete and stone pavers), and not having to worry about breaking a...

    Brilliant Cut Grinder

    Do you have access to 95% ethanol (sometimes labeled 190 proof moonshine or white whiskey in liquor stores)? You could use that as a cleaner and then make a sublingual tincture or something. I feel like there's a broad misunderstanding about makers vs. retailers and small vs. large companies...

    Anvil by Vestratto

    I don't think I ever counted number of bowls using the Wand, and I usually switch back and forth between the Anvil and Tempest. The Forge can get more clicks per battery charge, but it depends on what size battery. I think I got something like 24 hits off a 2.5 Ah and 55 off a 5 Ah. The Forge...

    Brilliant Cut Grinder

    Order placed for a matte SS BCG with a polished plate. Now I gotta figure out how to forget about it for two months so I can be pleasantly surprised instead of irritably impatient when it arrives.

    Anvil by Vestratto

    It just takes a while. I can get to the second click if I turn the temperature (actually a timer) up all the way. I went back and forth between the Wand and a Firefox Mini before I got a Forge.

    Battery Free Ganz - The Flare Induction heater

    I think someone said in another thread (possibly the Tempest or Forge threads) that SS balls wouldn't be impacted by an induction heater; the electromagnetic current (or whatever; I'm probably butchering the terminology) doesn't penetrate deeply enough to impact much more than the induction...

    Dumb question, but for people who are picking up SS factory seconds - are you just checking and refreshing the factory seconds page all the time? It seems like they're a rarity, and IDK if there's a more practical way to keep an eye out for them when they pop up.

    The "Stunner"

    I tried searching the thread and couldn't find an answer: does the Vestratto USA work with the stunner head? It looks like the custom-made Stunner adapter must've sold out.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I'd say it's possible, but I find it easiest to achieve through an additional heating cycle (or two; YMMV). I'm using the Forge on Cascade mode and find that the initial cycle has tons of flavor and gets the material to a golden brown color, while the second cycle will have more of a roasty...

    Brilliant Cut Grinder

    Yeah, I meant like a new option at the top end of the price spectrum. It could be that they're introducing operational efficiencies by dropping their most difficult and time-consuming product (likely improving production capacity), or they could be working toward some kind of new SS version...

    Brilliant Cut Grinder

    Are they potentially introducing a new model (possibly something that wouldn't lend itself to polishing) now that polished SS has been discontinued?
