    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I got my Ebony wood sleeve yesterday and like most that have gotten one I get why they're so pleased with it. It's a keeper. I have come to the foregone conclusion that I will be buying another Tempest as a back-up. After using it since beginning of November last year I can't imagine if I lost...

    I went through this and in the end I sent my unit back for repair and I got a new one . If it plays out as it did with me, they first sent me a new bucket (if you have a spare swap it out) but that did nothing. I also had two other errors, ‘ohms too low’ and a just plain ‘error’. Hopefully your...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I haven't changed a thing for most part since having the Tempest. It's wide open from tip to stem and I play the carb hole like a flute when I hit it for desired results. From a cold start it's the wand at 625F/330C till time out and for the reheats, typically for concentrate sandwich loads, I'm...

    Yes....and as stated on the MH Tempest order page the glass insert will ship with your pre-release order.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    The current VI works. As @Brenyo stated couple pages back the next batch updates include: - Final bowl screen - Updated airflow tubes that are easier to remove - Updated heat shield o-ring Still no calibrated click unfortunately. New estimate for release is March.

    If said parts were pre-installed in the indicator housing I for one wouldn't be too upset if the task wasn't left to me....just saying :D

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    My radiator sleeve is ever so slightly recessed into the heatshield by the o-ring. In that position there is no play but if it's flush I get slight play as shown in your video..

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Make sure the heat shield is firmly pressed down over the radiator sleeve o-ring down by the bowl. As I'm sure you know there is a small bump-out in the inner part of the heatshield that lines up with the groove of the radiator sleeve up by the air path control dial. I'll get that same 'play'...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I'll echo the other responses. Just went through this scenario yesterday myself and like yours it was stuck stuck. Thought I was doing something wrong but finally got it apart. That recessed o-ring of the cooling helix apparently needed some Dynawax to make things good.

    Discontinued The NEO by Prrl Labs

    So I went ahead and ordered two 20 packs of concentrate pads and the next day I realized I should have probably bought more pads for back-up supply. Went to order and of course they were out...............fast forward to today when my order arrived and what did I find? four 20 packs of pads...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I've tried various iterations of setting up the Tempest but end up back where I started from day 1. Airflow wide open along with the air path control. Helix with scu in place. Wand at 625F till auto time out and reheats for back to back with manual mode. My AVB has been pretty consistent. I...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Always enjoy the videos but since you don't use the debowler on the Tempest why keep it on as it only acts as a heat sink? I had mine on originally until it was pointed out by @Brenyo that it only pulls heat away from the thermal matrix.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Ditto to this. I had to go back to the photo I took of all the parts of the tempest taken apart laid out in order when I first got it to make sure I hadn't gone brain dead.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Yeah, that's way too loose. Double check that the o-ring is the right one even though it's the one that came installed and if you 'lubed' the o-ring it my be the culprit. This reminds me of when I did a deep clean of the Tempest and afterwards the bowl was being difficult to insert and I put...

    I believe so, but the good thing is it came with my Tempest kit.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    -1) I don't think you have to worry about that unless they get high with you. :D -2) The Wand has a time out mode so no worries there. -3) You can stick it in a leather carrying sleeve after use if you want I guess, but something like the Reload and some solid surface sure is convenient. -4) The...
