I got my tempest tip earlier today, currently using it with Joe King's Assassin stem and turbo system using it with the wand, i will probably avoid using torches i dont wanna mess up the finish, so far I love it great flavor, easy to use back to back, great heat retention, hopefully @VGOODIEZ gets revolve stems again i would love to own a complete unit, overall the only thing that needs to be improved is the clicking disks and the time it takes to reset but i don't find this feature that important for my personal usage, i enjoy watching the visual indicator climb, makes its so much easier to use in noisy places.

I've used my tempest head on a simrell blackwood vortex grab bag. This stem provides more airflow than the tempest stem. The vapor is definitely hotter on the simrell which is the trade off. The 1 thing I don't like is the built-in condenser on the vortex. It's hard to clean between the outside of the condenser and the steel liner. I use my ta3 on a simrell grab bag wpa with a brass stinger mp and that's my 2nd favorite 3rd party set up. Tempest stem has still been passing the reach test for me.
I got a Vortex all in one stem thinking I could use it on my TA...It works, but becomes too hot to hold by the end of one session. Easiest way I found to clean is to use a pipe cleaner soaked in warm iso.
