I don't like watching my Tempest glow like that. Even on the lowest power, the Inuductor lights up the Tempest. I feel like spinning is mandatory to avoid spot-welding the induction sleeve to the head. Okay, I know it's not that hot, but still, it feels like too much. I was using it with my...
Since none of Brenyo's design is accidental, I'd say it's the center of the VI, where there's a corresponding mark. But I also wouldn't get too fixated on what others are reporting in terms of VI alignment--I don't think it's that consistent from device to device. I think the VI is most useful...
While I'm currently loving the Tempest, and it's certainly in the running here, I'm going to give the nod to the Rogue Wax Works QC 14. Nothing tastes cleaner than pure glass, and with the right heating it's almost all convection. In fact, I think you could go with most anything from @RogueGuy...
I was already set in my ways from the Revolve before I scored a beta. To me, the best way to realize the full design potential of the device is using the helix tube with the stem open, with the screen at half-bowl. I initiate the hit with the carb closed, which primes the load, and then feather...
You are correct, and thanks for the detailed explanation! Add to the list of why I love supporting artisan makers: the willingness to improve and support their creations, even when dealing with pain-in-the-ass customers.
And I only got a minor burn, mostly my fault, so I'm glad to give it...
Agreed. It may have come up on this thread, or some other social media, but I had no idea when I ordered one from @VGOODIEZ. It's beautiful, and I want to love it, but it's not usable in the context of the tempest/reload workflow. I also tried it with DVs and a Vestratto USA, and it's not much...
Yup; the circumference of the screen is following the threads. Since threads are a continuous spiral ramp, one end of the circumference needs to be higher than the other. The split in the screen basically allows it to become a single-thread screw.
Looks cool, but it's a soft flame, not a torch. Not ideal for our purposes.
Edit: Oops; @SockPuppetTheatrics set me straight--there is a torch version. I also like the looks of that one, but I'd written it off in the past because I'd only seen the soft flame type.
Sure, we already knew this, but it's great to see it out in the mainstream (if you consider "I Fucking Love Science" mainstream). I love this explanation for our cannabis fondness:
"Overall, results indicated that chronic cannabis users tend to consume the drug for the simple reason that it...
Yeah, I had to contact my bank after they locked my card. It was understandable, as I was making back-to-back orders. The Beta Kit was still showing as sold out when I already had a rosewood Tempest ready to go, so I submitted the Tempest order first. When the Beta Kit showed as available I...
Absolutely--that's why I grow my own. Being relieved of the financial strain definitely made weed (and life) more enjoyable. As a bonus, gardening is a relaxing hobby.
