A torch has a ritual I enjoy, I recently added a Blazer Firefox and I really enjoy using it with Tempest. And for me personally, dialing in a torch ritual becomes a perfect-able manual interaction you just can’t get from a drop in heater. Sort of like a 6 speed versus an automatic, even today...

Facts. :clap:

To be clear, I was saying that when the parcelsapp told me it was out for delivery it was, even though the standard tracker still said it was in Geneva. I don’t know that I ever checked the expected date from the app.

I thought Thanksgiving was on Thursday? Maybe you celebrate on a different day in Canada? The days in discussion were all post-Tday. At any rate, this is like my 8th BCG, all of them have had the delay from Burnaby to Blaine; I’ve never encountered this delay at a border from any other vendor...

Parcelsapp was right on time with the actual delivery; the standard tracker didn’t say it arrived until days after I already had it in hand. Plus it gave me a direct link to USPS tracking for the package once it was in their possession.

According to Google maps it’s a 9:33 walk from Burnaby, BC to Blaine, WA. Chit Chats left Burnaby on Friday evening with my BCG, it still hasn’t made it to Blaine, WA.

For those impatiently tracking, the parcelsapp tracking got far more updates and real time; the standard tracker lagged way behind on my delivery. https://parcelsapp.com/

I’ll believe it when I can add it to my cart and complete the transaction. And even then I’m nervous nothing will show up… Here’s to hoping I can chase a big plate of crow with a nice IPA out of my Tafée 2 :D

Currently on my flight back home from Thanksgiving, and my Victory Glassworks G5 Velorian slurper just landed at my post box. Can’t wait to get home and have a weekend of experimentation, I think the G5/Tempest are going to make a great 1-2 punch for my mains! :D A little dab porn:

I don’t cram it full, but I definitely tamp it in and fill it to a snug fit. Added benefit is I don’t worry about holding it upright (saw someone earlier mention this to keep material from falling down on the ball screen).

And miss 15 minutes with my Tempest? I think not. I’ve only cleaned it once in two weeks, its collecting a bit of honey but still usable :D

Couldn’t resist:

FWIW, the only coil I turned on today was dab ready for an insert drop. A couple weeks in Tempest isn’t in my rotation, it is my rotation (at least for today). It is a Monday night, not that I would have been hitting anything heavy but normally I will turn a desktop on at least once. I just...

I’ve been really concentrating on dialing in my technique, and I’m becoming more in sync with the visual indicator. We all know it’s not a 1:1 indication of the heat in the battery, just an indication of the relative amount of radiant heat at the tip. The core is retaining much more heat than...

I don't think the included screens are bad at all, and the first time I swapped one out the new one I was fitting popped right in to the half setting. I ended up moving it back to the full setting, but it was working fine in the half setting. I think it's just Brenyo heading off any potential...

Just removed the click disc from mine, it was quite a ways off from where I've dialed in with the visual indicator. I've been running bypass helix tube at 555 on the wand; that usually brings me in right before the second mark, I get nice tasty pulls with vapor tailing off a bit as it cools...

Please use the comparison thread in AskFC for comparisons, this thread should be Tempest only. https://fuckcombustion.com/threads/the-tempest-by-mad-heaters-phatpiggie-pre-release-prototype-comparisons.54512/

@Vapvana re: diffuser v injector; you're overcomplicating the discussion and oversimplifying your position on the outcome. All that matters is the interaction of the air and the material at interface. You could use a super long injector and run super high temps; if at the point of interface...

FYI IDB has ash catchers back in stock, including color options! Drop-down and standard. It looks like the pink/fume dropdown is already sold out, glad I grabbed one quick!
