We use the MAD Heaters MRSP since undercutting their price when they are a retailler as well as our supplier makes for an unfriendly wholesale arrangement. You have also not considered the (considerable) import duty imposed by CBSA which we roll into our price but the individual would have to pay themselves. And domestic shipping is quite a bit faster than international.
Yes that looks about right. Last time I paid import duties of nearly $50 cdn for my Revolve stem, so I think the SV price is more than fair, and this way I don’t have to worry about any additional costs. I am happy to support both companies by purchasing this way.
I have been watching the Chao development with interest and the Adapters for both the TA and the Tempest make it a attractive option for a wireless kit. I have been playing around with the TA as well lately which has been fun.
Massive 300x3mm boro ball wireless heater (25mm) meets the Tempest via an adapter. Its the largest wireless housing I know of and I am keen to see how it works with the Tempest (eventually) - I should remember to ask about it....
I asked PP today and the Tempest adapter for the Chaos isn't available yet; but will be...
Looks pretty cool. I'm struggling thinking of why to do it. The Tempest head extracts the bowl effortlessly in a cycle. Not sure why I would want to strap a 300 ball housing to the Tempest bowl. The Chaos looks interesting in its own right though.
Someone snagged those balls
@Brenyo I just got the last 3mm but need also the 2.5mm and forgot to add the ball retaining screen, could you wait before send out my order so I save shipping costs?
Whoa! Is that functional?
Of course, my friend! I used the torch up to the 3rd mark. 2 rounds
with the vi in all.
~85 though that might depend if you have the 2.5mm or 3mm balls. Happened to me once, so my method of emptying the device adjusted.. i unscrew over something where i can recover the balls, as well a check the tightness of the screen every so often. Brenyo just had some extra screens and balls up on the site i hopped in it because of that experience. The fear of not being able to use the Temp for an extended period was also a motivating factor. But check your screens..First heartache tonight with the tempest
@Brenyo
I want to start by saying I love this device but is this normal?
I keep my device clean, change mesh everyday, give ultra socic bath every 3 days without the head of course, I've never gotten around to cleaning the head the way I'd like because frankly I've been afraid to take it apart
Anyway, I was sitting down watching a movie enjoying my tempest like I do every night, took my tempest and debowler up, unscrewed the lid and all the balls with my AVB came flying out the bottom and onto my lap.
This was not an enjoyable experience to say the least but let's just say thankfully the kids were in bed so that danger was avoided.
I've no idea how many balls I'm supposed to have if someone could let me know.
But this can't be normal is this happening anyone else, I bought this for safety as I didn't want a ball vape downstairs with the toddler but I've never had anything as scary happen to me with any device as what happened tonight.
Have I done something wrong @Brenyo ? Am I supposed to be taking the head apart and reassembling often?
How can this be avoided from happening again
The aftermath
Only thing I can think is that your ball screen somehow came loose. Any knocks of any sort? Or perhaps just from cleanings and all that could have potentially became loose. This is why I believe it’s good to clean them fully by removing them so you can also check the screen.First heartache tonight with the tempest

The aftermath
The ball screen twists in on fine threads and as I found out tonight it very much so can undo itself overtime or somehow dislodge itself, I'm curious if I missed a step at the start because the head is one piece I haven't messed with at all
I treat this better than a newborn, no falls or damages etc .
It does sound like it so hard to say
You could try to tighten the ball screen a bit more. Try to keep the screen flat, don’t overtighten it until the sides are starting to take a concave shape.
If you can still hear it rattling then it’s the click disc
Either way, it’s fairly loud so you should def hear it if it was working.
Yes it screws in, you can use the reload debowler if you have it. Try to keep it centered and push it slightly to start screwing it into the thread.
It was probably me then, I think I might have over tightened a few before realising this. Sorry!
Everyone with a tempest please make sure that there is enough friction with your screen and that it doesn’t screw out too easily. If it just turns smoothly without friction please flatten it and re-insert, it has to be almost completely flat, not concave. Only tighten it finger-tight until it’s touching the balls.
I’ve been just “finger” tightening without much force. I could probably give it a bit more
Can’t help since the rubies are in the desktops and I just switched to sic in the Tempest. All fairly irritating for my poor throat lol. Gut tells me zirc is the “tamest” if ya will. Would like to know if others have isolated a favorite after many tests
I kind of do this by looking inside real quick to see if there’s any little abv particles that need to be blown or brushed out of them threads before screwing back on
appreciate the recommendation for a water piece, did you geta beta with calibrated discs and visual indicators or did you calibrate it yourself?Science is fun, been to damn sick to do much more but I have done some, I’m playing around with adding heat while the Tempest is hot, here is an attempt. I have a repeatable pattern to add heat to finish the bowl with out burning the damn thingthe trick is just to heat the Tempest at the very top of the ball chamber, by heating that high you are ensuring that the hottest part of the device is right at the top which means that the air going through the device wont overheat due to a imbalance in the heat through the balls in the heater matrix (which often happens when you heat too low or very very slowly with a low heat or small flame for example) or because of to much conduction to the bowl (normally the forma)
** NOTE: I am using a Tempest with both a calibrated visual gauge and click discs
This is an Australian site but I believe its called a Prophet else where but this is a great dry rig for the Tempest which I use all the time

Air Mess is a dry filter (without water) for your vapor, like a sherlock / J-hook. With its Ø 14 mm joint it will be easy to connect your vaporizer.Its system of glass spikes allows a very effective cooling of the vapor without degrading the flavors contrary to water filtration.

@RedZep I have been enjoying doing the different materials, I wasn't going to do this last one, but I have decided to try it as curiosity is killing me, I am about to pack my Tempest full of 2mm gem cut rubies and give it a few goes... this should be interesting as in every other device I have had to reduce the temperature by 10% to stop scorching the bowl... we shall see
I was the one who did it while de-bowling. I've since stopped scraping the head screen after a bowl. I just give it a little blow if any bits of avb is there.
