Yes it is! On his site there is a picture that shows the bottom of the unit, and there is a hole that allows you to adjust the glass chamber. I believe it comes with a plug as well.
. Glad to see so many early users following RedZep and giving more great information and demostration.
I know the feeling....I think its only you and me without nowFeels like everyone in this thread has a Tempest now, not bitter I promise
I tried it with helix, SCU and everything closed. It was smooth and absolutely not hot. The cooling in the Tempest is outstanding.Feels like everyone in this thread has a Tempest now, not bitter I promise
Almost kicking myself for not going for an early unit but I know how that would have gone.
I've had both generations of the Revolve and have tried a lot of the configurations but I always come back to it just fully closed, with the helix unit in the mouthpiece. Any of you lucky lot with the Tempest tried that? If not could someone sacrifice a bowl and tell me what the cooling/flavour is like? There's an order of magnitude of heat with between the Ti tip I'm using with my Revolve and what the Tempest will be pumping out, I'm sure it will keep up enough for me but I don't think I've seen anyone try it and I spend so much time in this thread it's unreal.

Yes, I meant the secondary cooling unti, I should have been more clear.I had to try it as well, you know, in the name of science.
SCU, straight tube, air slits open the absolutely smallest amount possible just to let some flow in, and the main air port closed.
@Aegisz, just to clarify, when you said "the helix unit in the mouth piece" do you mean the secondary cooling unit (SCU) spiral or the actual piece the SCU would go on. The straight tube for water piece use, or the one with 2 different sized holes for adjusting draw.
I have nothing atm. Waiting to pick up leather pouch with the full release model.
I don't have it yet, but I have a Labetkomp Hybrid sleeve coming. It was made for Anvil XL and Omni etc. but will fit the Tempest perfectly.
And me, don't even have a Revolve so trying to keep up with all these settings to try! Sounds like will be experimenting a LOT with this bad boy.I know the feeling....I think its only you and me without now
thanks for that comparison, I ordered some 2.5mm ruby balls to compare with the 2.5mm zirconia
yeah I want to use temepst on my jhook (what adapter are you using to connect tempest to jhook)?
yeah i'd also like to see that
He was using a Dynavap BB3 as adaptor. I like a wooden WPA with my Anvil. The wood stays cool and feels more balanced. Ed's TNT adaptors are geat (but unlined) and Simrell's wood WPA has a metal lining.yeah I want to use temepst on my jhook (what adapter are you using to connect tempest to jhook)?
and will the Revolve gen2 glass stem work with Tempest tip/head?
thanks in advance bro for all your feedback, learned alot from you and others here!
hmmm now that i think about it
They all have a standard 8mm connection, so yes. But the Dynavap liner is a narrow condenser that goes up into the head and may need to be pushed down a bit for the Tempest (?)
I bought a second anvil case for the tempest
I use this leather pen case I got on Amazon.
I found these Leather Pouches on Amazon
Probably not what you had in mind but I was just messing around with some scrap oak chunks I had.
The Tempest will have its own leather caseI found these Leather Pouches on Amazon
they run from $6.49(red)-$8.49(black) $7.99(brown)
They are very well made and work just fine, (image shows all 3 i got 2 of them have Anvils
the Red one is Reserved for Tempest
EDIT: I did not find these someone here posted one and I liked it and bought 3 (sorry i dont remember who it was that posted these, but Thank You! )
I love it, simple but effective, I have a epic little table setup and I hope shrinks, currently it holds, hmm maybe I'll share a photo of the 3 stations I have setup as I could use some simplification like your "scrap" stand, its actually really rustic and cool
