True, but I doubt they will get any for release, it might be a while before it filters down like that.
The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie
- Thread starter oddjobold
- Start date
I'm getting 15-20 second torch re-heats. For a full extraction of a 0.15g bowl.
You could try heating lower on the tip with hash to create conduction. I'm happy with the convection hash experience. You may be more of a hash aficionado than me. I probably only get hash in 4-5 times a year.
I've been able to get conduction affects on flower with this technique, and I can confirm it works. I prefer convection though. Especially with how tasty Tempest can be with flower.

puts my mind at ease thanks man.

I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I expect to mainly use flower, it was more a curiosity, for full melt hash it’s a no brainer, it will be awesome.
No problem. It's why I love the visual indicator. Apart from being really cool to watch slide up while heating, it's a great way to utilize the residual heat after a bowl. That 50% reduction in heat up time/energy is huge if you like to chain 3+bowls as the efficiency gains multiply. That's why I'm using Tempest as my long session vape also. It's one of many ways it outperformed my expectations. I thought Tempest was going to be an amazing sidekick vape. But it's no sidekick, this thing is Batman.
No problem. I work from home, and I get notifications from the thread. I love talking about this thing. So ask away.
Do you want an average time to extract one bowl? Or how long it takes me to fully extract 3 bowls back to back?

pretty sure they are referring to how long it stays in vapor/a heat retention question
Timed from drawing on device? Or would you like to include loading/heating?
Also I often do big DTL hits. This is much faster than taking multiple small joint puffs. Which would you prefer I timed? I can do both, but I would have to do one later. So do you have a preference?

you run it through a bong yet? I only run DTL find puffing to be infuriating.
I've ran it through a bong, bubbler, j-hook with direct flow tube. It's nice on J-hook and bubbler. My favourite is massive DTL lungfuls native as the cooling is great. I posted a video doing this on page 25.
I'm enjoying joint puffs enough however that I'm mixing it up in the same session depending on what I fancy.
I do joint puffs when using hash as it's hotter. I don't know if that will change once I have a secondary cooling unit.
You should check out my review on page 24. I don't mind answering questions that I've covered previously at all. But I think the review will have a lot of value to people who have just started looking into the device.
Ahh sorry I misunderstood you before.
It's hard to measure, as you only know it's still at temp while drawing on it. I just checked back on a video I shot doing relaxed joint puffs. I was getting vapour for 1min 20 seconds. However it was fully extracted. So it stopped producing because the herb was spent.
That's why I keep reiterating that the cycle is more than enough for extraction regardless of DTL or joint style.
I could experiment tonight and keep an eye on visual indicator when it stops producing. Maybe figure it out that way.
The 1min 20seconds is refering to how long I was getting vapour from a single bowl.
But that was doing relaxed joint puffs. On page 25 you can see me crush a bowl much faster doing a monster DTL hit.
That second video was awesome. It's one thing hearing you talk about it but actually having a video of it in practice is awesome. A full minute of puffing on that thing with no apparent weakening of the vapor produced goes REALLY far towards showing how powerful this thing is.
December can't come soon enough
It was actually producing vapour for another 20 seconds. I had to cut the video short to fit it on Imgur. Imgur only allows max 1 min videos.That second video was awesome.

See this is the biggest factor for me. Click discs are great and all, but I plan to chain at least a couple bowls per session and the temp indicator is going to be potentially amazing for my use case, especially in the sense that at any point I can top it up with the wand to keep the temps right where I need them depending on what I'm using be it flower, concentrate, hash, etc.
The Revolve gen 2 is awesome and I expect a similar experience doing hot reloads (cap removed on magnet, load via Reload chamber, cap back on, reheat and hope for no combustion) but time is of the essence for me and often there ends up being a small amount of combustion which I HATE.
You have a stronger stance against combustion from your reviews and additional commentary, so this is something I am very hopeful will translate for me as well!
I'm looking forward to seeing how my unit works for my routine and lifestyle once it's in my hand in the next couple of weeks!
Visual indicator is amazing. Mine isn't even the final tuned version. But it's still usable. It's Just in the wrong place on the scale so to speak.
It's an amazing season vape. I sold my B0 and Tempest is handling my extended sessions. I never liked using large bongs so I'm loving the Tempest more than I ever loved B-0.
I've never combusted. I've hit a few RTL bowls though. Potency is off the charts taking it to the edge that way. Because the visual indicator moves smoothly it means you don't overshoot your desired temp.
It should be noted that you can't see the visual indicator while it's in an IH. In the wand it's like that at least. I've been doing an initial heat up with IH followed by torch re heats after reloads. Subsequent heat ups need 50% less time/energy when chaining in a long session.

I thought that might be the case, but when it only takes in the realm of 10 seconds or so to reheat and there is no harm in pulling it out of the wand for a quick check then dropping back in, if needed, I have zero gripes from a theoretical standpoint.
Again, one of those things I'm excited to test out once mine is here!

See I can’t stay away 3:33am and I’m back checking RedZep responses… one day I’ll actually sleep.
Damn how didn't I think of that. The visual indicator seems to stop moving as soon as you remove the heat source, so it should be easy to get good at that. I'll give it a go later.
You can kinda see it from below or flip it. Cut the silicone a bit shorter to see it better.
These are the best ones I’ve found. Can heat it up about 10-12 times and it’s very small.
