Like does the wand actually heat the balls since they're stainless steel? I bought some 3mm boro and keep going back between stock zrc and boro. Can't wait for the final release! I want a rosewood stem, bought the black stem. What kind of wood is the black stem made of? It looks like it's stained that color.
In general the black wood used for vapes is blackwood aka grenadill aka mozambique ebony... sometimes classic ( Gabon) ebony too but I think it's more expensive and more difficult to work.
Most of the exotic woods are toxic. Cocobolo, amaranth, cherry wood, rosewood… The point is to know the correct uses
Awesome that's a promising sign, hopefully we get the nod for pre orders soon!
I'm the same, was lucky enough that my VI works perfectly (removed the click discs as just not necessary) so even if the updated parts never showed would not be an issue and the build quality feels like will just last forever. Still buying a second one though
honestly just love how this thing looks, I literally take it out just to look at it even when not vaping!So I bought the ebony stem and honestly it looks almost like it's stained that color. I could be wrong but there's spots that are light color and I wondered if it was like maple stained that color... i almost want to sand it down because the spots are killing my ocd. Already have the rosewood in the cart it looks so good!! just waiting on the upgrade it
I'm all about black, I will eventually get a all black setup (probably with a green VI dial just because) but from a wood perspective the Rosewood sleave is my favorite and it looks great against the titanium and black versionsSo I bought the ebony stem and honestly it looks almost like it's stained that color.

I have managed to damage the metal of the caps in my excessive testing - twice - but Brenyo fixed those problems and I honest have tried really really hard to break it again .... but since the last changes - I can't (without an external event happening) so yeah, this thing is built to handle so pretty extreme use unlike so many other devices I have used in the past.I'm the same, was lucky enough that my VI works perfectly (removed the click discs as just not necessary) so even if the updated parts never showed would not be an issue and the build quality feels like will just last forever.

never felt closer, I am looking forward to holding a release version in my hands, it will be kind of special having been testing for almost 8 months
I'll try to sort it out, if it's not in the pre-order newsletter then please send me an email before ordering.
No, it's only heating the outer induction sleeve
It's not, you can sand it down. I'll try to find out which ebony is it exactly once the manufacturer is back from their holiday (again)
I don't think that matters in this usage case. The stems are lined with SS. Wood toxicity is more relevant to brick style butane vapes. The Rosewood is actually more toxic than the ebony. However it's not relevant unless you are breathing in wood shavings.
My woodwynd ipe stem has gotten darker as I've used it, maybe from natural hand oils. If so, yours may only be darkening where you're touching it, or was it the same when you got it? Maybe brushing some sort of wood safe oil in the crevices over time could even it out.
No the wood stem was like that when I got it (maybe 2 months). I do make sure to wax it. It's lighter where the cuts in the stem are. What's the best torch for the tempest. I cannot seem to match clouds like I get with the wand using 1,3,4 flame torch.
dito never tried SS balls
I think the balls could benefit from a description of the differences
If you look at ebony wood images and you see the logs, you can appreciate the black tone is inside and it is not a super black, there are lighter parts. Make a little research of a ebony vapman to see the ighter parts in a vape. Considering the price i doubt the tempest wood sleeve is made of thew older part of the log.
If you can get some wax in there it will match much better, they just wax it on the surface in the factory.
Could happen
No and yes it will fit. Unfortunately the tooling cost is extremely high for this unusual size glass tube. We tried to make it in a different way but it wasn't nearly as precise so it was not worth making at this point. If the Tempest will become popular enough then there might be a new glass for it.
It's def more unique now and won't get as hot
It's on the way but got stuck in China for the holiday after they assured me it won't... Just the usual...

Thanks for the update! Fingers crossed it'll be resolved soonIt's on the way but got stuck in China for the holiday after they assured me it won't... Just the usual...
