    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I wasn't sure if the "pre-order" button is on purpose or a mistake, but I got some accessories on preorder couple weeks ago but they were in stock and shipped real fast. I haven't seen the buy now button for a while, so kinda attributed it to a bug on the website. Now, looking at Brenyos...

    Yea, as someone who jumped into the Tempest story at start of September 2024 without any ball vape experience and waited a month for fulfillment I haven’t had a single trouble with this beauty. Both of em now. I read the f out of the manual and watched all I could about it beforehand while...

    At less than 100 bowls I haven't had the honour of cleaning my balls yet... Anybody tried cleaning balls in small ziplocks with ISO and an ultrasonic cleaner? I was thinking hot water then ultrasonic ISO bath then hot water, torching seems excessive and I've never had a good experience torch...

    Just did my first ball exchange, zirc to boro. It was a 15 minute challenge for me. Hardest part was handling and counting the balls, then tightening the ball retaining screen - was scared the whole time that I will break something. My second tempest head arrived and I put a titanium ebony wood...

    nice, works like a charm after I learned how to remove o-rings, thanks! Could you also maybe share your thoughts on using the tempest head on a wooden sleeve with a revolve gen 1. Does it have any disadvantages you can think of, any reasons not to combine it? Thinking of getting an additional...

    For me it is not crooked when I put it in, but it is so wobbly that every time after using Reload magnet to decap it, it wobbles out a bit :( Doesn't happen for other tips that I put in... just the oposite, it holds them on really tight, and that for every dyna-tip I put in. Also damaged my...

    Same here, I'm around hit #60 or so and we have the same experience, including the combustion avoidance like that :D VI is a bit smoother and faster than it was, click discs click differently as you said. We will see in a few months/years, I hope everything holds up and I can continue to rely...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    hey my man, i believe you are doing the same I did - the tempest is too low. I had to recheck the manual a few times on that part with 2 red lines and positioning where it explains about more convection vs more conduction depending on the position. When I read it initially i switched the "top"...

    mah babeh after an ultrasonic bath, time to go back to direct and bypass EDIT: ok, direct to lung guys, hear me out with this: the tempest: bowl 50%, straw method and light tamp (personally cant handle the full one here, yet) cap airflow 100% open bypass helix setting 100% open (only air...

    Also had original black/purple, took blue as replacement and am really happy with the color, its beautiful to look at and handle. Like you, thinking of getting a black unit , although full set maybe, with that sweet rosewood or some other wood. As I was putting an additional tempest head in the...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    100% consistency for me, but I've only had it for 2 days, around 20 or so bowls with a friend on different stem/cap settings with zirconia balls. One thing to keep in mind - you can't avoid conduction when doing back to back bowls, there is just too much heat all around not to warm up the bowl...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    As someone who read the manual like 10 times, I can't get a single bad hit so far. Question for the more experienced tempesters - what can I get if I decrease the cap air intake? Is there any advantage to lowering it if I don't have trouble with the fully open one? Or am I missing the point...

    we should do a tempest configuration thread and name them something catchy, there are so many configurations and I'm having trouble remembering what I tried and what I still need to try. these face melting hits arent making it easier to remember :D example: how you are you running your tempest...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    it was easily understandable, but even without subtitles it’s a very educational video , well done this thing keeps slapping me consistently on whichever settings and stems I tried. The wand timeout tech is what i used for all so far and it’s so freaking convenient that i don’t need to try...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Yea man, the options are wild, I want to try it all! btw the wood stem fits on the revolve gen 1 so I'm think of getting another tempest head to have 2 devices with different balls, any reasons not to try it?
