@Caliban - I just stripped my Ti down after a similar period and other than some particles at the top of the stem it was cleaner than it should have been, no severe stickyness, it gets a lot of use.

Could perhaps be the result of a less complex airpath and improved cooling that moves vapour faster ... ?

I'm not 100% sure what it could be, but I also thought it must be the simpler path or maybe the vapor is warmer and not cooling as quick? I mainly used my T1 with the WPA adaptor (and know very little about the science of vaping), so maybe not the best person to compare. But I had to clean the set up weekly and the adaptor was always getting stuck to the head's o-rings because of all the resin. Maybe my adaptor was rubbish or it was user error?

Yes indeedy, my T1 gets sticky faster, 5-7 days and a good clean is very required!

Well, perfect timing.... Just managed to break my 'Strong Arm' glass adapter that I use with my Tempest V1.
Figures, since EU Tempest V2 is supposed to ship out this week, not really worth ordering another adapter.. guess my throat will be dry until then...

also im not going to complain about the v2 aesthetic anymore, unbreakable bongability weights way heavier all of a sudden

Just speculating, but the less complex air path could explain both the accumulation of less reclaim and a reduced cooling effect. The more time the vapor is touching the titanium the more cooling and the more opportunity to collect reclaim. We're seeing people saying that the tempest 2 cools better and cools less well. Airflow restriction (and draw speed) seems to be the main variables between users. I guess I'll have to have it in my hands to really make an assessment.

However it also is a trade off. Its hotter than the v1 (I generally max the cooling on the v1) and it makes my cough more. Will it be to harsh for my old lungs? Not sure.

I have my T1 set to direct / bypass, so the T2 is not that much different for me. MTL and bong hits are really smooth. I will say DTL with the full bowl setting gives a throat hit. .

I do think the volume of the vapour a contributing factor. I've moved the screen to 0.15 now and it does reduce the throat hit slightly.

To be honest I'm quite liking the spicy DTL rips. 3 pulls and the bowl is cooked. The only reason I reduced the bowl size is 0.20 was making me sleepy 😴💤
