I'm using 3mm rubies and I'm using timeout method. 320c for native use and 335c on a bong (608f & 635f)
This gives me full extraction in one cycle and leaves the AVB a light brown
For removing the V1, i just put my finger in the adaptor and gently press down until it starts moving. Pop the glass out then remove the silicone insert afterwards
I like the V2 adaptor. It sits below the wand so the only thing inside the wand is your Tempest! The glass can leech some of the...
It's an upgrade for the cap, so you will still be using the T1 bowl
I believe you get an induction sleeve, a whole new indicator housing, VI and click disk.
I don't have any issues with the T1 roast in half bowl or full bowl either. It's mainly the heat retention which is better on the T2. It just means I'll have a more leisurely MTL session
I'm also interested in the simplified VI installation. I'm a bit scared to open the V1 in case I mess up...
Yes I am still using my ebony V1. I have for T2 set up with the full bowl & rubies. I swapped the 3 mm zirc balls into the V1, and set it up with the half bowl setting.
T1 is for MTL sessions, or when I want a microdose. Good for weeknights
T2 is for big DTL and bong hits. This one is used...
I don't find the T1 screen too bad. I roll the screen flat first. The reload is good for this but I've been using one of those little wooden brushes like a mini rolling pin!
I'm using the reload screwdriver. I drop the screen in, I do a little anticlockwise twist, and this helps it catch the...
So I have made my first attempt at a video of my Tempest 2 in action. I had trim it down for imgur so I had to cut the big cloud at the end short ☁️
This is using full bowl with flower, 3mm rubies on wand auto mode until time out
I don't normally pull the the pull the tempest out as much...
Zirc balls are better for mouth to lung, but I prefer rubies for direct lung and bong usage. You get dense vapour more quickly and they can take a lot of heat so it's hard to combust. I also get a very even roast practically every time I use them
I used the reload screwdriver. I was a bit worried too but you just need to give a firm anticlockwise twist and it will open up.
3mm rubies are so good in the T2, especially for big bong rips 🫠

I had 44 3mm Zirconia preinstalled when I got the T2. When I swapped the 3mm rubies I could only fit 42 comfortably. I could probably get 2 more in but I was worried about the ball screen catching
All 44 3mm zirc went into my OG Tempest though!
It's really nice having 2 different set ups...
I mainly use this setting for DTL. I tend to use the bong most of the time. When I do DTL natively I drop the temp to 320c. I still think it's convection heavy as the AVB gets fully cooked but is not too dark
Ive swapped the 3mm Zirc balls into my V1 now, so when I do want a more chilled out...
As there is a few discussions about Ruby ball temps I thought I'd share my current settings
I posted this on the r/madheaters subreddit
Set up - new wand adaptor, and 3mm rubies in the cap. Cap airflow fully open, stem airport closed off. Using a mini globe bong with water
Ive set the depth...
YLL & the Flare do not work with the Tempest unfortunately. YLL doesn't fit the head, and the Flare doesn't detect the Tempest properly so only uses low wattage
The wand is great for the Tempest though. You can get 1 heat extraction consistently once you get the wand adaptor set up properly
If anyone is looking for a cheap leather case I think I have found a good option
It's a leather pen holder I got from amazon

The measuments are 16.5L x 4.3W x 4.3H centimetres (6.5 x 1.7 inches). It's pretty...
I've been playing around with 3mm rubies for a few days. I'm really liking them! I'm running them between 310c and 330c on automode till timeout
I'm using a mini globe bong a lot, and it starts to produce thick vapour more quickly than the Zirconia balls. When drawing slowly on my bong it was...
I've got 3mm rubies in the V1 and they are my favorite.
After all the discussions here I've just decided to try them in the T2. It's a Bank Holiday in the UK this weekend so I've got a few days to test them out. I'm going back to the full 0.20 bowl too 😵💫
Its definitely a good time to do it...
Yes you can see it.
If you cant see it clearly you can just push the Tempest up until his little head pops out 😁
As im sort of on the subject (apologies for the semi sh*tpost)
Does anyone else think the cap kind of looks like a happy robot? You might need to squint a little to see it....
