Mine looks much the same, 95% wand usage with occasional torch. Part of my tarnish is the wand burning off oil on the tip head in the insert at times.
None of this concerns me, just adding the point
Do you touch the cap regularly? Clean it as much as you can with something non-abrasive please. Barkeepers Friend + toothbrush for example.
The new parts will fix this issue, it shouldn’t look nearly as bad.

Shit! Google translate doesn't have Gaelic!
Would something like Brasso or Duraglit be okay, or silver polish? I presume the main issue is not to significantly abrade the thickness of the metal, plus not leave any deposits to burn on to it afterwards?
Just curious if you know already - I realise you'll be doing replacement heads (among other things) but have you any intention of supplying the individual parts in the head? (eventually at least).

0000 steel wool and a product in the UK called the "pink stuff" will bring it back like new
Bar kerpers friend works well too, I wouldn’t bother with the toothbrush it takes to long.
I don’t know those ones, but I would guess so. It’s more about what you clean it with - a metal brush or metal scourer won’t be good because it has a thin chrome layer on it which should remain there. The next version won’t need this thin layer so you can clean or polish it in any way basically.
Yes, I plan to stock the indicator housing and induction layer so it can be restored to “new” fairly easily.

Brasso and duraglit are old-time polish for things like silver plate, where you want something very fine that won't take too much off a soft metal, and produces a very polished finish! I was suprised to see they still exist tbh! So I guess they must still be pretty good compared to newer metal polishes?
Very cool! that's what I was rather hoping, being a skinflint!
Ta!

Yes, I was touching it more than I should, especially in the beginning of receiving Tempest. Need to be more strict with that, and touch it only when cleaning and assembling, then wipe it before use...
I never used torch before buying Tempest, neither had a butane powered vape.

Yeah, my mum always was telling me off for doing that! Oh! did I speak out loud then?

Thanks. Someone said the tip fits a dyna glas wpa so ill just use that.No, this is incorrect. The default mouthpiece fits a 10mm adapter. I can't imagine a 14mm adapter is usable. The glass side can be 14 or 18 depending upon your water piece but the inside diameter should be 10mm.
This is how it looks in a 14mm adapter. I don't have a 10mm to show you but it doesn't slip past the glass...
To be clear, this is a 18mm to 14mm reducer, but the point is the inside diameter is for a 14mm device which is too large for the Tempest.

I use and unground 10 to 14mm adapter that works on my DynaVap and Simrell stuff. Fits fine on the Tempest.

Question for anyone in the states that got a tempest. Who delivered the final leg of the journey (
)? Was it usps, fedex, or ups? Too many science experiments with the wand to remember what was selected at checkout. I know I got free shipping if that helps. Thanks.

How long was the total delivery time? I ordered mine like a week and a half ago and it shipped quick but has been sitting somewhere in Europe for the last 3 days

Mine took 14 days from the date it was shipped out also here in the US. Parcels app is best for tracking and should give you a next tracking number for when it’s with USPS

Seems I remember mine doing the same, being stuck/limbo in Europe.
But it took about the same time as what @Jojofernz said...close to a couple weeks

Some purples are up.
Been trying to decide if I want one of these, or if I wanna wait for the full release. I can't decide on the color I'd want or if I want wood, so maybe it'll be easier once it's just in stock.

Just grabbed the purple!
I was debating the need for another vape, then saw the pretty purple and just caved. I mean, life is short. And it’s raining all next week.
Can’t wait!

I want one but because of the import to EU financial issue I’m forced to wait. Or else I’d have to pay import when the new parts come too. If I was UK I’d snapped one up by now. But, I’ll try my best to wait. This one is really interesting. Looks like the perfect upgrade for a dyna guy with a wand and a bubbler or jhook.

But you could look at it as being harder to choose after release if they have the full range of colours to choose from? I mean, all those options!
It's a perfect upgrade wand or no wand! If coming from a DV I suspect you'll be very impressed, even after all the comments here.
So what's the issue with ordering to EU from UK? What have the us British idiots done now to make trade with our neighbours even harder?

The ones I'd weigh between are never the ones I catch available, and I want the working VI, so I'm thinking I'm just going to wait.But you could look at it as being harder to choose after release if they have the full range of colours to choose from? I mean, all those options!
I have something else on the way to hold me over, so I don't even need another vape but this one is really interesting to me.
