The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

As a v1 user it is nice to hear that many people consider the v2 to be mainly different and not straight up better. Makes it easier to ignore that VAS for a few more months!


Sadly I am too dumb to image how that would look on the tempest.
I like V2 more in all honesty. Better extraction, bigger wider bowl, so even when in smaller bowl setting you benefit from more airflow. The WPA functionality. Increased potency. Increased IH efficiency.

I also think the stem is an amazing one stem fits all. It's the best stem for the Tornado and CXL imo. As it cools well, with wide open airflow.

Love V1. But I love V2 more

Think I found my sweet spot with Quartz balls and .1 bowl.
445f till second click, which is few seconds before timeout. Could go lower, as I also had half empty batteries.
Wand adapter screw quite high as shown on pic.
Light brown AVB.
Bonus 2nd pic of setup :p
I've found just going to the 2nd click is perfect as well for the Zirc balls, didn't need to go to timeout.

I have a small problem with heating my tempest2 in inspire wand. no matter what temperature is set (I tried from 240C to 285C) I burn or am very close to burning. I rarely get to the second click. I use a new adapter. do you have any suggestions?
This was happening to me but then I started letting it heat soak for like 5 seconds after the timeout and then ill start hitting it. Now its flavorful and packs a punch :) hope this helps.

Hello how do you do to have 2 clicks because I only have 1 strong click and if I exceed it it goes into combustion. On the visual indicator I am between the third and second bar I use the wand adjusts to 290°c and I wait for the dead time. Thanks

If your only doing the flat where the logo is, I'd probably use micro mesh on it, I'd start at the higher more gentle grades, that way it shouldn't alter the logo too much.
You can usually get a pack of 9 grades on Amazon, but if you're not going to use them often, it might not be worth buying them.

im thinking as well that its not a big issue as long as i use a fine grid. I have sand paper in all kinds, thats no issue. i did some coloring on my omni allready, i removed the torch coloring and made a second attemp which i liked more, no issues with logo so far.

im not sure tho if i want to flame anodize it, its tempting though :D I think golden or light blue would look gorgeous.
i will sleep over it, in the sunlight its better do torch color as well.

It'll look good for sure. They colour well out the box without doing anything other than giving it a proper clean.
Have fun if you decide to do it
