    I found the most important single thing about the bowl was packing light as possible, hence my technique of keeping the tube upside down (bowl upwards) until it's got to vaping temp in the bowl (the restriction point), but with regard to depth, I got the impression that too deep started to give...

    Liberation day - US Vapes

    I probably should have read the OP before hitting the vape, but surely it's the US buyers whom are most directly effected? It's tariff's on US imports being applied. And in the UK they've not announced any intent to set tariff's in response, so I don't think we are effected so much over here...

    [Is this off topic, or is it not? It's certainly relevant. 🤔] Tariff's are a terrible policy that do nothing for anyone except the most wealthy and powerful. The U.S. plumped for income tax over tariff's just over a century ago to finance government and redistribute wealth toward the majority...

    It may not just be the tariff's themselves that cause problems with shipping to the US. For example, in the UK UPS announced it was not going to be sending any more US deliveries above the de minimis limit due to the confusion with just trying to work out the paper work and payments with...

    Tornado by Vestratto

    Yup! It's been days and days now, and I'm still obsessed with it! 🤣 Seriously though, from the view of a new user, I couldn't call it the best myself, simply because there's no such thing, but in it's class it's peerless, though it has to be said it's the only member of that class! 😉 But that...

    Especially as it's so quick and easy to swap the battery out, I mostly use session as it means I can hold it absolutely any way I want. I use straw method to load the stem and keep it as loose as I possibly can (coarsely ground flower), then holding the TM2 upside down slide the tube in, then...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I am ... ... not worthy! 😈 Actually, I just had a thought! 1. Brenyo posts stunning vid of spanking new T2 2. No sign of Brenyo since then Conclusion: The Tempest 2 works really well! 🥴

    Ok, thanks! I did try a Fusion 2 but the click disks were so quiet (I tried a replacement head as well) I could rarely hear it above the jet flame and it was pretty damn useless for me, I wonder if they were dud's? The Tornado clicker is much louder. I must say I'd be surprised at iso damaging a...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    To be fair on Vestratto, these are custom devices with no common roots with each other that would make non-proprietary parts practical. For example, the way Vestratto design the bowl/heater set up is different from the Tempest, and one issue they have is heat locking where the bowl can become...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    You definitely don't want to lose your head! 😱 I think that the actually engineering work would up the cost just as much, you need far harder cutting tools and there are other constraints (cutting speed, lube, etc etc). Ti is pretty hard stuff compared to Al.

    Re: this thing about not iso soaking the bowl - seriously? This can damage it?? I've not come across this with other TED's, it seems crazy if this is a recognised issue, and ISO soaking is a common known cleaning method for TED's, why no warning? Can you say where you got that info @TedJones?

    Vestratto Tornado heating tips

    Forgot these modern materials tend to melt at so much as an angry look! So fuckin' dumb! 🤣 Mine is only just wide enough for what I call the missionary position of Tornado/Wand heating (entry from the front), no need for a rear entry! Though only just, I doubt I've more than 1mm spare...

    Vestratto Tornado heating tips

    What a bummer man! That's cruel luck with the rug thing, that's just the sort of thing happens to me far too often (sweat shirt and Tempest induction sleeve was my last melt-down). I've actually been doing quite well with my Wand, better than with a torch in fact. It's just wide enough to use...

    Vestratto Ordering & Shipping

    All I'm saying is going by order number and/or order date isn't going to tell you much about any specific order. Whatever the reason for the apparent delays for some, not all have been processed in absolute order.

    Vestratto Ordering & Shipping

    The orders seem to have been out of numerical order (maybe overseas order issues?), mine was ordered in mid Feb but didn't ship until about the same time as yours! So it's very hard to judge - but I'd agree an email to Vestratto wouldn't be unreasonable.

    Vestratto Ordering & Shipping

    I think they process a batch in manufacture then gradually assemble them and send out (total guess but the timing seems to fit) one at a time. They may well still be sending out the batch from Feb (I got mine a couple days back from mid-Feb) but that doesn't mean they can't start planning ahead...

    Tornado by Vestratto

    There's always a different perspective, such as making vapes available to those who can't afford to buy them at full price when the VAS hits them. Also, is making better use of something that cost resources (not to mention a lot of love and sweat in some cases) to make rather than consigning to...

    Tornado by Vestratto

    Well I'm no expert beyond having just ordered a Tornado from the UK, and the fact I read the news! So take with pinch of salt, but I've never heard of any dispensation toward something like vapes, especially with the variable legality from country to country, even state to state in the US. Best...

    Ah! That makes sense, I only knew of the shipping code, which of course isn't any use for Uk. I paid full whack (wasn't going to miss the chance while there were some available, searching for codes! 😁). Thanks! Considering the complete lack of consistency and reliability in US policy recently...
