I've literally just tried a bowl. I only heated until the mid marker which got me very light vapor - should have gone too between 2-3 on the VI. Didn't pack the bowl, kept it loose.
I gave it a 30 minute soak in iso then used a q tip on the inside of the bowl and stem which left a slight residue on the q tip. I then did tŵo cycles of heating to burn off anything as well. I am a bit paranoid!
First bowl with a single flame lighter, worked as it says it would. Only took one big hit and the avb is light brown, stopped heating before the final marker on the vi. Nice and smooth.
Tempest has arrived - looking forward to finally giving it a test drive! It has been a long wait but fair play to brenyo for making sure the product works, loads of other companies would have rushed it out especially with so much interest in the device.
I bought the upgrade kit and just realised that I chose the buy it now option (I did this as soon as the store was open for orders). Anyone know how it's different to pre-orders?
So frustrating, sorry to hear that. I have had mine since Dec with no issues and hearing stories like this makes you feel as though you can't trust the device and you always have to have a spare! Very poor that your replacement is sub par.
I wanted to get the venty for Xmas and with the eu website saying 2 week lead time I thought I needed to get my order in quickly. Well I ordered on Sunday evening and it has just arrived on my doorstep in the UK!
I am probably late to the party on this but just put some hash in the bowle on its own (it's not full melt) and it was amazing - big clouds, really smooth and amazing taste.
