The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

[Bababouy]

Update on this: I checked the balls and they were brown so I torched them off till they were white. It has definitely helped but I still get a weird unpleasant aftertaste that I never used to get. Has anyone got any other suggestions please?

I keep it fairly clean, i give it a whipe down while its warm with kitchen roll and cotton buds every few days, it leans up the reclaim nice and easily and deep I clean in ISO every week.

I was planning on ordering the V2 but i dont want to risk the same think happening and not know how to fix it. I am pretty new to manual DHVs and havent really had much exoerience with one outside of the tempest

Silly question, but are you popping out the screen when you are deep cleaning? It's amazing how much shit builds up under there even in the full bowl setting. If your stem is clean and you've torched your balls, I'd wonder if that could be the culprit. I know you mentioned switching screen settings but this stuff will normally start building up pretty quick depending on use.

I also have found myself running around 490-500f instead of the normal 540-550f on the wand. Has drastically improved flavor and I've still satisified with the color of my duff. 420f seems a bit low, I can barely get the first click running the wand at the temp full cycle.

How even is your roast? i've dialed back the temps on my other devices and will try yours

bottom is always a little more green but nothing looks "fresh". Nothing I feel bad for not reheating, but supply here also is not a problem.

I just realized I replied to an older post and it appears most of what I said has been addressed

Agree 100% .. fortunately our cilia dispose of a lot of oils that condense in the tract. So long as they are working ok!

Biology's an amazing thing!
In the case of cannabis, I believe (caveat - I'm not expert) that many/most of the compounds that are inhaled are mostly absorbed and processed via the respiratory system with little negative impact, rather than the hydrocarbon tars from smoking which are much harder to remove and tend to build up (with the now well known health issues of course!).

now upon closer inspection it seems to me that it just might be photoshopped green, not sure

I'd be inclined to say it is 'shopped, partly because I'm a skeptic, partly because the piccie is watermarked by Verdamnt and if it was an original from HM then that would seem less likely to have that watermark. Maybe.

the first time it was posted (must be like 20 pages ago by now), i was sceptical as well, but after brenyo dropped real footage of the purple one, i w as pretty sure the color must be 'shopped. or maybe i am wrong and brenyo really decided to go for a weird green.

the watermark is just part of their usual template (green backdrop + productimage + watermark).

unrelated to that: are there any updates on the EU pre-orders? :S

Yeah that's not how the green looks

It is expected to start shipping in the second half of next week, if all goes well.

Thanks @Brenyo delivered by RM today.

She is beautiful ... drying now, hit soon. 8)

PS. I am Tempestiously Terminated.

It works, a lot. Full bowl of 28% MC. 2 hit clearance. Same settings as V1 - head open full, wee hole open but mostly closed with finger. Wand, old glass in. I always go by the visual thingy, near thesame click spot but much louder.

Tasty, extraction = combobulating.

PPS straight no glass used.

"It works, a lot." That sums it up nicely.

 

[Dirigible_Molecule]

My favourite method of extraction +50 years ago was a pipe for the solid that was the only option ( well it was courtesy of Mr. Nice so it was treeemendous). I grew the plant outdoors in the wilds after I travelled to those mythical areas wher it was produced, came home carrying beans.

Also a wooden chillum, given by a Rasta friend many years ago now RIP. Instinctively I raised the Ti skyward as it's weighty and perhaps a muscle memory kicked in, so it felt like that chillum. Full of a reasonable kush I am now blathering and sinking

 

[Hagbard]

that is how i like to start the day... fresh and new in da house <3

 

[MegaChip]

When I fill my tempest i suck through it like a straw and it jusy tastes like how the flower smells

No, I meant: Try to heat your tempest like you normally do but without any flower in it. Take a draw. Is there any taste?

 

[humbuckers]

Hi
I only ever use the adapter I got with my tempest. I did start at the recomended starting temp and slowly worked my way down to 420F when I swapped over to the half bowl setting. I did try the other day setting it to 510F and it just made it taste worse.

Have you tried removing the top indicator housing? There could be material inside causing this issue. This is how I fixed the same issue after dropping a hot tempest

 

[Fearless Disaster]

i'm curious what you would expect to taste if the tempest was clean? i've pulled mine hot and empty before and i did get a slight roasty taste. I assumed that was what clean tasted like but if you would expect no taste at all maybe i need a deep clean!

 

[Darr1]

After what seems an eternity but in reality has been a couple.of days, I've just received the email !! Been good to see the videos and read the experiences of those that have in hand. Keep the tips coming folks

it is to know if you cleaned it in a way you removed all the smells. You shouldn’t notice a roast taste.

Nearly nothing

the watermark is just part of their usual template (green backdrop + productimage + watermark).

The watermark could imply ownership/copyright of an image, and unless Brenyo gave his approval, it could be naughty of them to take someone else's image and watermark as theirs. Not that that necessarily means it's the case of course!
The quality of the colour could just be an artifact of different colour standards across devices and displays, bit hard to make anything definite in that regard I'd guess.

Anyways...

A terrible storm blows thru' m'house,
Visited at last by a Tempest.
I swear I won't moan or grouse,
Ah'm jes' gunna have a wee test!

Rais'd a glass of spirits to it,
And dried that iso away.
Set up the Wand - lickety spit...
From this course I will not sway.

So I'm jus' off noo, to have a quick poo,
Then fire up the very first bowl.
After washin' m'hands (and various glands),
I'll take down the bloody lot whole!

 

[Mickk]

Has anyone who ordered on the EU website already received their shipping notification?

No. Latest news is, that they ship next week:

It is expected to start shipping in the second half of next week, if all goes well.

 

[General Disaster]

He he he he he ...!

[Edit:] This constitutes a review - in my current state!

 

[Dirigible_Molecule]

Ditto, I have had an absolute sufficiency. WOHW has not been turned on, I've double checked several times if the bowl is loaded or done.
It was empty on one check - so surmised that was a spill over from the Tempest smells thread that became an action in my mind! Goodnight!

 

[BearFuur]

Order P977x Shipping out today to CA as of today. Shipping was surprisingly free! I even asked for the $100+ shipping quite a few times. Brenyo apparently thought eff that. Lol. I say, If it's free, it's for me
Super happy to get the emails confirming the package should be on its way home. Hopefully MH will start shipping out all USA orders here asap.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The Mrs and I are mad excited! @Brenyo

[General Disaster]

I've only tried a couple of the initial weeny size bowl, almost back to back (it cooled down very quickly on the Reload lid). I tried a second or so after second click (yeah, I admit it, I pulled out early! ) and got a very respectable hit and a bit, with avb looking barely baked at all. Second time around I removed from Wand a few secs early (running recommended 525℉) with the VI a fraction past middle mark, and got real big cloud, with the second pull giving next to nothing - good bit better than I'd expect for the quantity, and avb still was nowhere near my more normal "how the hell didn't it combust?" coloured like the inside of a supermassive black hole.
Whatever the actual frequency, colour me impressed! A little fucking about, and I can see my ball-vape going into that back-of-the-draw purgatory where the souls of unwanted vapes go!

[Edit:} Thanks @Brenyo! And thank you too for the extras, a nice touch! - BTW, what's the little black printed washer-like thing with a chunk cut out, in the o-ring bag? (please don't tell me it's essential to use in the wand to avoid ruining the Tempest!!!! )

As a fellow US customer, this is great news! Brenyo is the man!

Happy to hear things are getting sorted for our USA buddies
