Agreed. This seems like a different beast than the TA. I'd love to have both.I'm still not sure that this is a new TA iteration. I mean, it looks great and I certainly want/will buy one, but it looks very different from the legacy TA we have and I still hope that @phattpiggie will come up with a new drop anyway.
I personally see the Tempest as another vape, not as a TA2.
Anyway, Mike, if you're reading this, I love you! My wife and kids will understand.

Dope. The visual indicator alone is worth it!

Watching CannaCareGB review/preview video and this device looks incredible.
"basically a fucking lightsabre that gets you high!" -- I like 99% believe that to be genuine, I'm all in, take my money!!
For the first time the "bottomless" aspect of the The Wand become a strength. It's like it was made for the Wand ... was it?

hey the 3D and the 3D 3s from vaphotbox will be compatible with tempestIf only there was a company that could custom design an IH for this thing...

Think he was making a lighthearted joke that one of the creators of this vape promised a IH a long time ago and has done everything including releasing the revolve, reload and now this instead of the IH that was supposed to come a long time ago

What size torch is needed to heat this? Is it in the big shot category?
I use this triple torch, it will take about 20-25s to heat up.
As you can see the Tempest is the slim version I hinted at a while back.
For a while Bren and I had been bouncing ideas back and forth looking for a way to step away form the offerings available for a vape with this form factor.
I put a couple of prototypes together to prove the concept at this size then stepped back from the design work to concentrate on the TA range.
Bren has the resources to try out different ideas so he went for it.
We knew from the TA release that the Tempest had market viability.
When it comes to using readily available IH please keep an eye on the insulation layer on the work coil. We are running hotter and longer than heaters designed to work with the VC.
The rayon pucks I use look the same as when used in the TA so we've kept the convection bias.
This is my mobile IH I mentioned in the TA thread.
And with a bit of butane.

Not at all, I’d say it’s mainly DL being convection heavy.
The airflow is adjustable, there is not much resistance if you open it.

Looks sick. I love my Revolve V2 and look forward to trying this. Based on the video it takes about 60 seconds in the Wand for the 2nd click. Hopefully there will be other IH's that can power it less time.
The outer SS layer is not magnetic yet on the beta, it should be quicker on the final model. You don’t have to wait for the timeout message (cannacare did) which is an extra 10-15 sec I think. I’m hoping to have a heat time of about 30-35s with the wand. Once you’ve set the “timer” on the wand it’s pretty much automatic, you don’t have to listen for the clicks.

Not from the Ti, there is a closed option on the stem for that. It doesn’t provide a 100% perfect seal, but it will be very close I hope so it’s not noticeable at all - it’s going to be improved over the revolve g2.
I might get a few of the new thick glass sleeves without an airport if I don’t forget, those will be 13.5mm OD and Pyrex.
