Will that be available at launch? Or just full assemblies?

Yes it will be available

@Brenyo Does this fit natively to 14mm glass pieces? Sorry if you already answered. I searched everywhere.

No it doesn’t, it’s meant to be used natively. Initially the first proto did support it, but it ruins the look unfortunately and needs 2 additional o-rings to work.

I don't mind adding some o-rings if thats the case. If you have designed it completely around native use, then I find that quite exciting to be honest as that will be my preferred method.

Wow this thing is so nice good job on the design and function can wait to see the actual unit In action

Yes, there is no screen at the end of the spiral and no DRC feature, but it has a POM bearing within the mouthpiece. It cools a bit better with the Ti sleeve and it can’t get hot to the touch.

So the DRC feature will be gone, replaced by the “helix tube” if I’m interpreting the instruction diagram right? Why no more DRC?

The tempest itself has one built-in

I guess I’m trying to understand what someone “upgrading” a revolve gen2 is going to miss out on, if anything. Get the tempest tip, get the new sleeve, then what, you’re 90% there?

Just picked up a revolve from vgoodiez, late to the party but I’m finally here…

Would be great if the tempest was available as a bundle deal with the reload.

The gen 2 CU has more features, you won’t miss out on anything. The airflow control and mesh are now built into the Tempest tip/cap, that’s why it’s missing on the new one.

 

[medicalmark]

I’m curious how to use this effectively?

Fantastic. Thanks!

While a whole new product, I would have loved to have seen vertical cooling fins on the tip to have lined up with the Rev2 sleeve. But I understand as it works better with the aesthetic of the new sleeve (functional too probably)

You can see it on the manual on the previous page or just stick it into an induction heater, preferably a timed one like the wand.

It wouldn't look good on the gen 2 Ti sleeve either way unfortunately, the cap is too wide.

 

[Lwd0003]

Intensely scratches neck…

Won’t be available for order direct in the US though right?

Madheaters got shipping worked out to the us!

 

[Lwd0003]

Yup, add it to the list

Damn this vaping my meds is getting to be a pricey bitch! But I love it!

 

[Lwd0003]

So if you want another beta tester @madheaters im ready and willing

Me too! You need someone in the US Brenyo

 

[terpguy420]

Vgoodiez does carry Mad Heaters products, perhaps they will carry the Tempest.

@Brenyo What type of screen will be going in the tempest? Will it be a more engineered screen like the DVs etc or just a more regular mesh screen?

Both Regular mesh in the bowl and CCD-like screen for the balls.

@Brenyo what's left to fix on the prototypes?

Nothing, it’s in production for a few weeks now.

Did you come to a decision on the click disk temps and the temperature indicator range or are the discs placed in by you post production and the indicator calibrated post production?

Those will be calibrated after production for the final parts.

These are some of the planned colors that you'll be able to mix and match:
