    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I'll echo the other responses. Just went through this scenario yesterday myself and like yours it was stuck stuck. Thought I was doing something wrong but finally got it apart. That recessed o-ring of the cooling helix apparently needed some Dynawax to make things good.

    So I went ahead and ordered two 20 packs of concentrate pads and the next day I realized I should have probably bought more pads for back-up supply. Went to order and of course they were out...............fast forward to today when my order arrived and what did I find? four 20 packs of pads...

    I use a BCG with medium plate.....no complaints.

    I've tried various iterations of setting up the Tempest but end up back where I started from day 1. Airflow wide open along with the air path control. Helix with scu in place. Wand at 625F till auto time out and reheats for back to back with manual mode. My AVB has been pretty consistent. I...

    Always enjoy the videos but since you don't use the debowler on the Tempest why keep it on as it only acts as a heat sink? I had mine on originally until it was pointed out by @Brenyo that it only pulls heat away from the thermal matrix.

    Ditto to this. I had to go back to the photo I took of all the parts of the tempest taken apart laid out in order when I first got it to make sure I hadn't gone brain dead.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Yeah, that's way too loose. Double check that the o-ring is the right one even though it's the one that came installed and if you 'lubed' the o-ring it my be the culprit. This reminds me of when I did a deep clean of the Tempest and afterwards the bowl was being difficult to insert and I put...

    I believe so, but the good thing is it came with my Tempest kit.

    -1) I don't think you have to worry about that unless they get high with you. :D -2) The Wand has a time out mode so no worries there. -3) You can stick it in a leather carrying sleeve after use if you want I guess, but something like the Reload and some solid surface sure is convenient. -4) The...

    Well, thanks for taking one for the team and getting high 15 times in one day as a 'test' for battery life on the Wand. Appreciated :D....

    I get about half at best the number of heat ups from cold that you are with the stock batteries and stock zirconia balls. I mean, I'm not completely depleting the batteries, but when I put them in an external charger (Nitecore) there is only one bar left. Don't get me wrong, it's not a big deal...

    I kinda know what you are saying, but as of the last drop all that's going to change is click discs that are calibrated correctly and the bowl screen being updated to better quality/fitment. Other than that, as far as I know of course, the Tempest is pretty much ready for prime time.

    I've been putting some Blueberry Muffin Moonrocks in the Tempest sandwiched between flower. It's so tasty and worth the little extra cleaning required.

    Venty by Storz & Bickel

    Ed's tnt had these glass capsules but I don't see them in stock at the moment. I reached out today to see if these might be available again and also asked if he is going to make a Venty version.

    Well then, I guess I just learned something new because I was under the impression that the IH was only heating when it was blinking.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    When I used the suggested 750 F/ 400 C setting on Wand with time out mode my AVB was real dark.....too dark for me. I've since lowered the temp, but try out the 750 F and decide for yourself.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Out of curiosity, and hopefully not redundant if you already answered it, but what are you considering low temp(s)? I've been hovering around the 600 F/ 315 C to 625 F/ 330 C range on the Wand and pretty happy.

    That 25% more efficiency would obviously be nice but in the grand scheme of things not really that big of a deal or dealbreaker. I'm ok using a higher temp and probably charging the batteries more often. I've been very pleased so far with the Neo and Terp Surfer.
