how easy is it to change out the VI? I'm thinking about picking up a dif color once they hare back in stock,, but dont want to mess with it if it's too difficult. my hands aren't as steady as they used to be...So I opened up my upgraded head again to see if I could get the VI to behave properly. I pulled on the spring and resettled it. It looks right to me. So maybe I'm missing something, but the VI still goes less than halfway and parks there.
Well, that's a relative question. It has gone well for most people. In my case, it did not go well, and I damaged the spring so the VI is not working properly. I'm blaming old hands that don't move as well or as precisely as they used to, and bad luck. Hopefully I'll get it right the second time.how easy is it to change out the VI?

No, FS are only from the UK store.
Yeah that is a good call, when i swapped to my SiC balls my first screen got pretty mangled. I am not even really happy with how the second one is currently seated but its good enough and im not willing to destroy this one in the name of making it pretty lolOk no problem. I'll order a regular one then, at least once/if the ball retaining screens are available again.
Before experimenting with my SiC balls I better have additional ball screens ready. Too paranoid about destroying the one I have
As far as a am aware there will be no more colored VI for sale. He ran out so I didn't get any with my beta kit (not even raw) and said he wasn't getting any more as of then unless he's changed his mind?how easy is it to change out the VI?

If you heat it until it times out, when it changes to a solid light, that means it's barely heating anymore—just very slowly. If you're going by the clicks, then I suggest maxing out the wand temp and taking it out shortly after it clicks (depending on your specific clicks and preference). This is why you have to wait 5-10sec after the clickI've gone up to 565F with no combustion yet. 2nd click happens like 10 seconds before I'm done heating. I don't think I've used it enough for my clicks to have
Sometime next year@Brenyo When will there be new Tempest and heat shields on the EU side?
I assume there will be an inventory check after all orders are fulfilled and the leftovers are gonna be available afterwards.What's the availability situation? It says some will be available end of month, is there a pre order?
Yeah. I’ve used all these no problem. I use the green if doing multiple bowls thoughDo you all use your tempest heads on any WPA's? i have a BB3/9 and a Double Maria from hookahead, these glass WPAs should work fine with the Tempest yeah? I had some concerns since it does it a bit hotter than DV tips
Awesome! I will have to try it, thank you!!Yeah. I’ve used all these no problem. I use the green if doing multiple bowls though
yes with the next batch@Brenyo will green & purple VI pointers become available?
Please remove the indicator housing and send a picture of the spring before taking it apart completely.Is this a be brave, attempt to tear down and reassemble situation or is there something else I'm missing here?
glass WPA is from osgree on DHgate)Any recommendations for glass WPA that fit a 14mm connection? The triple Maria posted above looks to be perfect, but I don’t really want a colored one :/ the bb-x could work but I’d rather not have balls if possible. Something clear, and simple that only works with 14 (aka doesn’t have the extra restriction of most of the 3in1 WPAs). Bonus points if it has something like the triple Maria’s rings to help manage heat.
The vong works well but it’s just extra parts to clean and I also suspect it restricts airflow just a bit too.
FYI - I tried using search, google, and checking all of the usual retailers but can’t find exactly what I’m looking for.

Edit - theherbcafe in Canada has some as well.
