Does anyone know if the tempest is actually releasing in June or if it’ll be pushed back again only thing holding me back from ordering a revolve gen 2
Perfect! Thanks, Ted.Sure! You could load just half of the bowl in the half bowl setting for a minimal hit. Dyna style if ya will.
I think the main thing is to make sure you've got a loose, even distribution of material so you're not creating any channels for hot air to funnel through (or blockages that it can't get through).Perfect! Thanks, Ted.
Thanks, SockPuppet. Yeah, I discovered that the hard way when I first got my Revolve. I packed my very first bowl too tight, drew too hard, and combusted....make sure you've got a loose, even distribution of material....
Can we have this quote blaring on repeat through a megaphone please? lolDelays are often unforeseen, Brenyo never changed any dates for fun
I have been involved in the Testing of the Tempest for a while, I have broken caps, springs, discs, mouth pieces etc and this has led to a number of fixes - even right at the 11th hour I found a issue that @Brenyo had to send to the Manufacturer so that it didn't happen when it was released as I broke the cap again... So while I fully understand peoples frustrations (not saying belladona you're expressing frustrations, just piggybacking your statement), I believe people would have been more unhappy with recalls or parts being sent out that you have to replace because there is no way to send something to the UK that's been used for repairs as its not a legal country.off topic about the product and more about release stuff--Brenyo has consistently informed of delays and has delayed things to avoid putting out faulty product. delays hurt business and are not for brenyo's benefit. if anyone knows a local uk machine shop willing to do the kind of work at the kind of scale and pricepoint brenyo has, by all means, send the information to him. until then, i am still pretty darn happy to wait and be patient for a product to actually be shipped in a finished state. i prefer things that take a while and work to, say, AAA titles put out by the gaming industry, or a particular recent vaporizer device launch with a 10,000 initial unit recall.
I actually emailed the guys making the Flare asking then why they were only using 18650 as it didn't really make sense to me as the devices of today are already chancing the the 21700 so why not future proof the design. I still want to see how it goes with the Tempest.I’m waiting for the Flare too. But i think they have problems… In the beta video the guy needed to add a copper fmj to the anvil duracore to reach 105W instead 55W (firmware things i suppose). And we didn’t see the tempest with it (the final version of the yllih didn’t recognize the tempest and the flare is based on the yllih). Another point is how much time the 18650 battery can hold 110/120W. Maybe they need to use 21700….we’ll see we’ll see…
I have done this sort of heating a few times - you can do it that way - where you change where you are heating as oppose to spinning the Tempest, it is one of the styles I was playing with myself - it isn't what I would recommend as the oven takes time to stabilize and you can still get an uneven heat to the oven which can cause uneven extraction.As a torch-only user, I wonder if I could use the Tempest head on a rig without spinning the Tempest. Or is that a bad idea?
I feel that since you are only transferring heat to the balls and not the herb directly, it wouldn’t matter if it’s unevenly heated?
Or would heating one side for 10 seconds and then the other work?
I am using the Forge not the Inductor but I have started to be able to do what you describe, I used the clicks and VI to figure out what settings I wanted to Forge to be at and now I don't worry about the clicks/VI when I heat with the Forge - so I assume that you should be able to do it with other things like the Induction although I expect that to be harder as its a single point of contactanyhooooooo i think i saw somewhere in this thread a few users talking about the tempest with the inductor. for people who have both and have experimented for a bit: what works? what voltage are you running at, where are you putting the head, do you rely on the click discs/visual indicators or are you going by feel/time, etc?
I have been causing the Forge to overheat all the time and I was given some feedback to try and avoid it touching the sides... to be honest that's not what's causing the "Device Overheats" but at the time of making this video I was trying to avoid touching the glass.I see you held the Tempest in the hole. Does one have to hold it there or can it be hands free like the other 2?
So neither of you use the official WPA? I'm just thinking about accessories at this point and am still unsure on the WPA.
Yet!I don’t believe there is an “official” wpa for the tempest
Someone may have answered you before me and if so sorry for doubling up - you don't need to worry about dye / or that sort of thingHi all, new FC user here. Been lurking on this thread in anticipation of the Tempest
Q: a few pages back, someone mentioned discoloration on the colored part of their Tempest bowl. does everybody with a colored Tempest experience this? I'm less concerned about aesthetics (I enjoy a good patina), more about whether I'll be inhaling dye of some kind
I know next to nothing about anodization so let me know if this concern is unfounded!
100%I for one think that Brenyo has taken every care to make sure that the release is as solid as possible and will be worth waiting the extra time

Mmmm….a new adding taste to your herb! Human spice!Kissing the Dragon is the WORST..
I thought the Dynavap was bad..
The Tempest decided to keep a part of me...
That's part of my bottom lip ffs
The Flare is bigger than the wand but hopefully it has the power to handle the Tempest as a lot of us have many 18650 sitting around. I just notice that everything that seems to be coming out (example Solo III) is making the move to the 21700's and to me it makes sense to be future proofing where you can.As someone who only fairly recently got into vaping, I personally don’t want giant batteries in a big IH. I’m looking for something portable for IH as that’s when I’ll use it more.
I find that when I am using primarily desktops devices I end up going through a lot more herb than if I am using the manual devices. I am hoping a few changes to some of the desktops I have might make it such that this changes at home - but the efficiency, the effects and the experience combined; means that the Tempest (or TA's or Anvil) with the Forge is winning the reach test time and time again, over the desktops I own.At home I teach for the desktops more.
Thank you for your updates. Watching them as I wait for releases of new battery operated IH devices hoping for a replacement to The Wand to use with the Tempest & TA.I’ve spent the day with just the Tempest and the Forge as I’m trying to work out what is causing the warning sounds… what it’s allowed me to do is try and dial in the settings I was using and I’ve settled on the following for now.
I must admit , I wasn't keen on my wand at first.Am I the only one who gets amazing results with the wand every time?
Nope, the combination is the cats meow, don't think I have even bothered with a torch on this particular device.Am I the only one who gets amazing results with the wand every time?
You are not alone!Am I the only one who gets amazing results with the wand every time?
the combination is the cats meow
I'm quite happy with the results I get with the Wand. Just wish it heated things a bit faster for my TA + Tempest combo sessions.Am I the only one who gets amazing results with the wand every time?
Nope! I and is my preferred use with the Tempest and it works fantastic! Quick and efficient I see no need or reason for another IH unless the wand dies out. Would like someone to have a smaller one maybe but wand is portable enough.Am I the only one who gets amazing results with the wand every time?
Bro, get a battery charger and some spares!Also, while i love how it works with the tempest, i hate the wand battery indicator and charging port
