I really really want a green heatshield, looks cool.

I'm sitting here looking at my black reload thinking, I'd love a titanium version to match my V2. Anyone else think if titanium reload was available they'd get one?

I have received my Tempest V2, here's a shot video from my YouTube channel:

I don't think there is any way for @Brenyo to make a titanium reload that I could afford. And due to the minimum lot size that Brenyo would have to order I think it would be very unlikely he could anticipate enough sales.

i would jump on a ti reload. price matters of course, but a piece of gear like that could become my main herb / abv set up at home as well as out and i can justify gear investments that will be used daily for a decade. At that point small conveniences add up, like maybe 1/4 turn to open, magnets, etc. Oooh, or magnetic closure with a 1/4 turn to lock for travel

Maybe this has been asked before but I'm wondering why the release heat shields won't be made of titanium. It looks much better imo. I always prefer the "raw" metal look when I buy stuff but the aluminium shield looks off in contrast to me.

@Brenyo : I must be weird and different than everyone else cause I'm sorry to say but I hate 'em tbh. And I've been dying to get my hands on a V2. I like the look of the V2 better, but I personally loved the green and blue from V1. I can't do these colors. Especially the green, which is leading in the poll, lol.

Is there a picture of disassembled tempest 2?
I am interested in comparing vaporpath cooling with revolve 2 or tempest 1 stem
i am sensible to heat, so if tempest 2 stem is less cooling than tempest 1 i rather buy just the head
i do not care if the spiral path steal some vapor, I care for cool vapor more than everything

Not a fan of the colors either, happy to have pulled the fast trigger on the full Ti V2.
Black would be my choice otherwise I believe... but the color combination with the titanium just pokes me in the eyes, I dunno...

 

[General Disaster]

I'll take any colour you like, as long as it's black!

@Andreaerdna - yes, there's a posting from @HaggisHunter with some before and after piccies of the T2 broken down, from his anodizing session.
The cooling path is different to the original T. though most seem quite happy with it. I've not had any problem using just native.
Remember the stem is also a WPA, so if glass is your thing, it works a treat.

I believe only really sensitive users will not get on with T2 cooling. It's not that the T2 lacks cooling. It cools very well. I can do a one hit DTL 0.15g bowl with it. It's just that T1 with Helix had more cooling than it needed imo.

EDIT- just putting it back together. I'm shocked at how clean it is. Some honey building on the spiral, but doesn't need cleaning yet.

Can't wait to receive my tempest v2 and make some wood sleeves for it! Curious if anybody knows if the skull kandy inserts fit the v2 head and if so how they work. I use my tempest wand combo on the go quite a bit. Also curious how the click calibrations are on the v2 vs v1. My v1 caps definitely click a little early.

I'm finding the click calibration similar to V1. My preferred roast is 3-4 seconds beyond it.

I think this is intentional. You can't force everyone to go for a dark roast. Lots of people go lighter. I think it is well calibrated to click at the beggining of the range that most users will go for.
