    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Is there a good way to clean the VI without disassembling it? I've seen it disassembled and don't see one. Maybe enough heat and soaking with shaking? I'm starting to literally hear my indicator while it is moving, making me think that with enough time without cleaning, friction might build from...

    It's really hard to comprehend the differences without trying it, my friend. I'll try for glass and zircon I got glass and zirconia and I like both the same honestly. Also plan on getting other materials to try out. For glass I feel like i need more cooling from the stem, while for the...

    My indicator is working perfectly as far as I can tell, but I cannot unscrew the top screw... I'm scared of using too much force, but already used what I believe should be enough to unscrew the tiny screw... Could it be stuck somehow? Would heating/cooling the head make it easier? Trying at...

    just wait half a year and it will be back, or purchase only the tempest head and put it on some other body (non-tempest)

    Report from my 1st torch-clean of the stock zirc balls, using old tea metal tea strainer and creme brulee torch from SPAR above a deep ceramic plate: it is a simply magical experience, simple and fun experience. as soon as i stared seeing glow in balls or the strainer i would stop. shook them...

    I wasn't sure if the "pre-order" button is on purpose or a mistake, but I got some accessories on preorder couple weeks ago but they were in stock and shipped real fast. I haven't seen the buy now button for a while, so kinda attributed it to a bug on the website. Now, looking at Brenyos...

    Yea, as someone who jumped into the Tempest story at start of September 2024 without any ball vape experience and waited a month for fulfillment I haven’t had a single trouble with this beauty. Both of em now. I read the f out of the manual and watched all I could about it beforehand while...

    At less than 100 bowls I haven't had the honour of cleaning my balls yet... Anybody tried cleaning balls in small ziplocks with ISO and an ultrasonic cleaner? I was thinking hot water then ultrasonic ISO bath then hot water, torching seems excessive and I've never had a good experience torch...

    Just did my first ball exchange, zirc to boro. It was a 15 minute challenge for me. Hardest part was handling and counting the balls, then tightening the ball retaining screen - was scared the whole time that I will break something. My second tempest head arrived and I put a titanium ebony wood...

    nice, works like a charm after I learned how to remove o-rings, thanks! Could you also maybe share your thoughts on using the tempest head on a wooden sleeve with a revolve gen 1. Does it have any disadvantages you can think of, any reasons not to combine it? Thinking of getting an additional...

    For me it is not crooked when I put it in, but it is so wobbly that every time after using Reload magnet to decap it, it wobbles out a bit :( Doesn't happen for other tips that I put in... just the oposite, it holds them on really tight, and that for every dyna-tip I put in. Also damaged my...

    Same here, I'm around hit #60 or so and we have the same experience, including the combustion avoidance like that :D VI is a bit smoother and faster than it was, click discs click differently as you said. We will see in a few months/years, I hope everything holds up and I can continue to rely...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    hey my man, i believe you are doing the same I did - the tempest is too low. I had to recheck the manual a few times on that part with 2 red lines and positioning where it explains about more convection vs more conduction depending on the position. When I read it initially i switched the "top"...

    Also had original black/purple, took blue as replacement and am really happy with the color, its beautiful to look at and handle. Like you, thinking of getting a black unit , although full set maybe, with that sweet rosewood or some other wood. As I was putting an additional tempest head in the...
