Anybody else go with the head + adapter only bundle?
If I go for it, this is what I'll do. The whole thing looks fantastic but I have lots of stems and I'd probably switch it around anyhow.Anybody else go with the head + adapter only bundle?
what do you think in comparison to the tempest? is the cooling similar?
What settings on flare ?
I haven't received mine yet, but it's great to read a satisfied review of this Simrell.It's pretty sick, its like an oversized hyper 9 body with open airflow and a much better heater to fuel this stem. Pretty awesome product! Works great with the wand and the Tempest adapter. Other than my hyper 9 I see this phasing out most of my vapcaps.
So I've found you can do it both ways. With the multi heat click disks you can really dial this thing in. I'm more of a flavor guy so I put it in right below the first fin in wand, and wait for 3 seconds after the first click, and you get super tasty hits. Similar to a vapcap with an armored cap. I then wanted to test the 2nd click and the different heating styles, Hybrid right at the second click, the single hit is a massive pretty dark roast and fully extracted in one heat cycle. I almost fell out of my chair. Didn't try the conduction as that really isn't my style but I can imagine it hits hard. I really like it, especially if you already own simrell products. I think I like it more than my tempest other than the temp indicator in the tempest is great to use with headphones on.I haven't received mine yet, but it's great to read a satisfied review of this Simrell.
Congratulations!
In your experience, is this Simrell a one-hitter?
Because I feel like it cools very quickly, and it's not the best for multiple hits? But a big, cloudy hit like Austyn does in his live demonstrations on Twitch...
better than tempest? i am interested if so! what are the pros & cons would you say? i am looking for low temp cool vapor & flavorSo I've found you can do it both ways.

This is a tough one. I think I like them equally and let me discuss why.better than tempest? i am interested if so! what are the pros & cons would you say? i am looking for low temp cool vapor & flavor![]()
wow, thanks for taking the time to write out all of these points! all very helpful information as i’m on the fence about picking one up. i love my tempest but i have to admit, i’ve been tempted to snag one. i run my tempest fully open as i am looking for the least hot vapor possible. would you say the cooling is on par with the tempest? also, would you say flavor is better on new simrell? strictly will be using in the wand btwThis is a tough one. I think I like them equally and let me discuss why.
Tempest:
Pros:
Cons:
- Visual Heat indicator(great for headphone users)
- The stem is the best stem I've ever seen. Infinite spin for torching, multiple airport paths that came with the first kit, and can adjust airflow on it.
- The reload + the tempest is the best thing I've ever seen for hot reloads(use it with all vape cap style vapes) great for portable ball vape setup too, have debowler and 2 different strains on tap with a magnet for cooldown that is super stable.
- Great IH compatibility. The stainless steel sleeve is a kick ass idea.
Simrell Vape:
- The heat media I could never tune to my liking. Zirc balls are pretty decent but depending on the IH adapter death it could be real hit or miss.(I have to admit I have yet to try ruby as I have a ball vape for that)
- Takes a decent time torching to get it up to heat.
Pros:
Cons:
- Very consistent heating. I feel like a hunk of Titanium in the tip is the perfect way to accomplish flavor, vs quickish heating, cooldown and heat retention
- Multiple Temp clicks is awesome.
- Tolerances are the tightest I've ever seen in manufacturing for something like this.
- Stem is also very good, based on condensers you can flutter the carb hole and it lets you take massive hits without coughing.
- Multiple heating types convection vs hybrid etc. Works great in the wand with the tempest adapter too.
- You can actually get one of these in your hands in a decent amount of time too.
- Not as strong magnetic connection so can't hot reload it with the Mad heaters Reload, but works great with a leather loop. I know he's coming up with a stand and other accessories so I have a hard time putting this in the con list.
Hopefully my rambling helps.
Let me do some more wand testing tonight at different insert depths on both vapes and get back to you on flavor, avb roast and cooling. From my initial tests though, I didn't find the new Simrell device to be harsh in anyway, even when I almost combusted.wow, thanks for taking the time to write out all of these points! all very helpful information as i’m on the fence about picking one up. i love my tempest but i have to admit, i’ve been tempted to snag one. i run my tempest fully open as i am looking for the least hot vapor possible. would you say the cooling is on par with the tempest? also, would you say flavor is better on new simrell? strictly will be using in the wand btw![]()
