    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Ah yes, I think you've mentioned that before, thanks. Hope it's mostly cleared up now, not a fun experience by all accounts. 🤣 Yeah, I've come to realise there are many variations of Wand, some even in the dimensions of the coil housing! And the 'temp' setting seems to vary too from one Wand...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I have a condition called SDAM (severely deficient autobiographical memory) that means I have absolutely no conscious recall of any experience what so ever, from what my closest family look like, to what garlic smells of, to what it feels like to be stoned (etc etc). So in terms of the past...

    Why are next-gen vapes so effective?

    I may be coming across as argumentative and/or even unreasonable or patronising, but it's just the way my head works plus my science background that makes certain descriptions very sensitive in terms of my own understanding of physical and chemical processes, it's not personal, in case it...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Caveat: I know next to sod-all about electronics beyond not putting a screw driver into the live socket! (and that took a little working out!) Agreed - there's no temperature sensing at all (beyond any safety cutout feature I'm unaware of), even the 'temp' setting is really just a timer, and if...

    Why are next-gen vapes so effective?

    I think in part it's how you 'see' things working in your (one's) mind, that effects how you describe them. On reflection I suspect I agree with what your saying, but not how you're saying it (and that's me at fault, but I haven't much choice in the matter). The way I see this issue of even...

    Why are next-gen vapes so effective?

    But all that says is something gets hotter if you heat it. By definition a closed system has a limited number of known variables, almost all complex open systems (like a vape) have too many unknown variables to calculate. The best we usually do is discovering trends such as the effects of...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Whether it's deliberate or not I don't know, but this was a minor bugbear on my beta-tempest1 where the sleeve was rather loose and I have to be careful to check it's correctly set as it can move so easily. As I tend to stick to fully open anyway, I'm grateful for the ability to lock in place.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Yeah, same here, I read someone else posting about this. Just loosen the screw at the top a little and that allows the sleeve to move, put it where you want and gently tighten the screw up again - sorted!

    I've only tried a couple of the initial weeny size bowl, almost back to back (it cooled down very quickly on the Reload lid). I tried a second or so after second click (yeah, I admit it, I pulled out early! 😉) and got a very respectable hit and a bit, with avb looking barely baked at all. Second...

    The watermark could imply ownership/copyright of an image, and unless Brenyo gave his approval, it could be naughty of them to take someone else's image and watermark as theirs. Not that that necessarily means it's the case of course! The quality of the colour could just be an artifact of...

    Biology's an amazing thing! In the case of cannabis, I believe (caveat - I'm not expert) that many/most of the compounds that are inhaled are mostly absorbed and processed via the respiratory system with little negative impact, rather than the hydrocarbon tars from smoking which are much harder...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    From what you've described, it really does sound like you've built up some sort of deposit within the Tempest. My guess is the lower the temperature it's run at the more likely this will happen. Running at the hotter end of the range will strip out the almost all the compounds (bearing in mind...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I'm afraid the broscience isn't accurate - if you're talking physics, then every heat transfer is radiation - an atom or molecule transfers energy (measured as heat in this case) to another atom or molecule via electromagnetic radiation. When it's two particles in a solid it's usually called...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Exactly! 😊 If it's already been soaked, then more soaking seems less likely to help. Because iso is non-polar the cannabinoids don't dissolve well into it. Also, inside the head is the hottest part where the cannabinoids may have degraded into more persistent organic matter (we used to call this...

    Agreed, ISO isn't a great solvent, being a polar solvent. Non-polar solvents like petroleum spirits work much better but are rather toxic. Iso is actually not very toxic at all! The best stuff to use is the 99% grade, as there's the least amount of water in it, water reduces the solubility...

    If it helps, I'm P986x and mine was completed Saturday, but due to the wank holiday it won't get picked up by UPS 'til tomorrow. I imagine yours will be going out same day or a day or two after?

    Tornado by Vestratto

    Not that I know for sure, but I would assume it won't fit correctly unless someone can say otherwise from experience, otherwise I doubt Vestratto'd have bothered with two WPA's, and likewise, the Anvil stem had to be slightly re-engineered to properly fit the Tornado.

    This issue of terpenes is a complex one, with many possibilities as to how the terps can effect some people. It seems that the lighter terpene's (such as Limonene), those with lower molecular weight and lower boiling point are the more irritating generally, but of course effect different people...

    I mean the one at the top of your last image with no bowl attached, diagonal blue streaks, assumed you'd customised that one yourself? That one doesn't look timascus to me, but I'm an ignoramous on this topic, so no real idea.
