The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

[Stueylakes]

So its been nearly a week and its a beast. V1 had changed the way I vape entirely and had certainly challenged my requirement to have so many devices. V2 wasn't on radar but due to my joy of the tempest workflow it had to be done. It just has improvements across the entire device and its ability now to obliterate bowls delivers reliable, repetitive monster hits. Effects are off the scale and for me and the .15 setting but generally using sub .1 load is remarkable. Top job again @Brenyo

i dont care how long i have to wait, i just want one of these in titanium evenutally. so some of the refunded titanium t2s will be made available to reserve at some point?

From what I’ve read, it seems like they get relisted for pre-order. But I don’t think there’s any announcements or anything though. Probably best to bookmark the product page and check a bunch of times throughout the day and hope you catch one.

We have a completed China trade deal

I was thinking from what people were saying that this device may very well cool enough to not need any additional cooling, even for us sensitive guys, but that is of course an outstanding way to easily get more and eliminate any possibility of the hit being too hot. And I already have a few of those I got for my Tinymight.

Sadly no room for it in my carry bag...

its ability now to obliterate bowls

You've got it wrong!
It obliterates brains, not bowls!

 

[oddjobold]

I'll give some initial impressions. Only had it one day so far.

Its a completely different beast to the v1.
Feels good in the hand, well made.

Some kinda case is essential, otherwise you have no where to stick a hot piece of metal. I brought a pen case, thought I was getting the leather one I usually use for other TEDS. Turns out to be a cheaper one that melted. Bummer. Another is on its way. Kinda a shame it did not come with one, seeing its pretty much an essential item.

I like that you can select an airport setting and kinda lock it in place. Nice touch.

It hits way harder than the v1. Bigger bowl, bigger hits and finishes the bowl quicker. I think for most people that's a positive.

However it also is a trade off. Its hotter than the v1 (I generally max the cooling on the v1) and it makes my cough more. Will it be to harsh for my old lungs? Not sure.

So do I prefer the v1 or v2? Its too early to say for me. At the moment my v1 is edging it. Just because the vapour is more comfortable.

The v2 does look like it would be awesome through water. Must try it.

The T2 fits the leather case from the T1. It's showing as sold out on the site, but since Brenyo mentioned this (that it fits) I assume he's planning on re-stocking them.

It is most acceptable 8))) If it was warm it's then cool. Prefer it naked however as water holds onto things we want.

What about a v2 head with a v1 stem?

i feel like this will be worse case scenario for me as i need super cool hits & have read a couple folks mention V1 is easier on the lungs. hoping it’s not so bad! either way, stoked to receive

I find the T2 to be way smoother and easier on the lungs than the T1.
But I mainly use mine through a dry ceramic piece, no water.

I have sensitivity issues in the throat and I'm getting on better with the previous stems/helix design, especially for chaining bowls.

But the new head delivers better effects from the materials in the first place, so I'm finding that there isn't any need to chain bowls, so for the time being I'm running the stock stem, I will probably swap to the v1 stem permanently as I find it easier for one bowl too, but it's still all new and want to use it for a while first.

I think tariffs with China have been paused for 90 days. I think there will be a lot of happy American Tempest fans soon.

 

[Mannyusa]

Yes , let’s get shipping woot !!

I love using the stem as a WPA. Let's you do big bowls on small pieces comfortably, with wide open airflow.

This is 0.15g bowl, airflow half closed at tip, airflow fully closed at stem. Monster hit. Amazing extraction.

EDIT - That potency again. Wow.

Love this little piece you have. Any chance you remember where you got it?

More expensive atm. I think a lot of the China glass sellers increased costs due to tariffs. Even for those not in America.

It's my favourite piece. The airflow is great. It chugs with water. Perfect piece for Tempest 2 use, as you get extra cooling from the stem for full bowl hits. You benefit from seeing when the hit is finished as well. Cleans easier than any other glass I've had.

With Tempest one, when doing single hit MTL extractions, I had the tip on a glass WPA and this piece. I used the stem for travelling, or hash joint experiences. With the T2 I don't see a reason to ever bother putting the tip on anything else. This stem is a brilliant WPA. More cooling, wide open airflow, all WPA sizes. I'm using it for everything now. Tornado, CXL etc.

 

[dudeweed]

Fingers crossed they open up the pre-order again with Ti

 

[oddjobold]

I was using the v2 with the airport fully open with my finger tapping on top to change the flow.

Perhaps I need to try one of the other settings to see if it makes it cooler.

 

[lukepat]

My fingers are crossed as well

 

[Orvaxxx]

I’ve arranged some non-magnetic induction sleeves for the T2, which should help reduce the power output and fix the error on the wands if nothing else works.

How can I get one of these non magnetic sleeve?

 

[Caliban]

I think the Ti ones are gone now. The next ones will be aluminium from what's being said on here.

Amazing! Thank you very much for this. I'll try post some pictures of mine later on.

I also used my T1 on a WPA adaptor and felt like I was losing so much "goodness" that was building up on the glass. No such issues with the T2, I'm amazed at how little reclaim has built up after 9 days of use. Maybe I need to use it more...

 

[Brenyo]

It will be available on the website when it's ready. Probably in July.

 

[Dirigible_Molecule]

@Caliban - I just stripped my Ti down after a similar period and other than some particles at the top of the stem it was cleaner than it should have been, no severe stickyness, it gets a lot of use.

Could perhaps be the result of a less complex airpath and improved cooling that moves vapour faster ... ?
