I find it elevates for sure. Well worth the price I paid for it.
I bought the wand in May, but it was used for a week and then back in its box as I liked the ritual with a torch.
When I used the suggested 750 F/ 400 C setting on Wand with time out mode my AVB was real dark.....too dark for me. I've since lowered the temp, but try out the 750 F and decide for yourself.
290-320C until time out OR 400-420C until the blinking stops.
The 400C is until the blinking stops, that's probably combustion at the time out I think
Well then, I guess I just learned something new because I was under the impression that the IH was only heating when it was blinking.
It's still heating just much slower. If you listen closely you can hear it activate for a fraction of a second repeatedly.
Thanks @Brenyo - That was it, I had taken the orings off for the iso bath, and put them on so that the larger one was deeper in and the smaller one further back. I read not to soak orings in ISO, is that your feeling too?
If yours has the black or green o-ring under the heatshield then that’s the only one which is not ISO safe yet, but you can soak it until the release, it won’t be a problem.
I have pushed the screen.down for a full bowl now, I was thinking the bowl looked small for a 0.15g
Ahah, I can't remember where I heard that, but good to know I don't need to remove them!
Go for it. It is great. Since I received mine did not use a torch.
Looking forwards to your RDL attempts and how you feel about it as I remember you were a heavy anvil user so I wonder, both or one by over the other? EventuallyJust had my 1st bowl in the Tempest, I didn't realise until after it was only set to half bowl....so about 0.8g....set the wand to 420 and waited until the blinks finished, I ripped on it long and hard like i do with the Anvil....Huuuuge cloud of tasty vapor with no irritation, had another smallish cloud and the bowl was toast with a nice even coffee roast......im feeling nicely medicated , first impressions are very good of this device
love to see your AVB when you dial in your RDlholding the Tempest stem and comparing it to almost anything I own, it’s light, it feels stable, the additions to clip in the bowl to resist twisting, all these little tweaks that make up such a well designed deviceThe innovation in the Tempest is amazing! The feel of the device in my hand is as satisfying as it is to look at... I was gonna put a photo here but I'm too high to get a good one now
As long as the Sneaky LurkerI'm a proud new Tempest owner, I managed to get in on the last drop like a sneaky lurker
shares the opinion, some photos, some techniques 
we will forgive you
The only fence sitters that seem to be saying anything - I'd love to have a discussion with a hater (other than the one I already talked to)....
