After weeks of constantly refreshing this thread as well as my emails, my T2 arrived last week. Having only really had experience with battery powered session vapes this has been an entirely new experience which has been awesome so far. What a piece of kit this is. Still getting the hang of it - particularly reheating - but enjoying the process and managing to get pretty consistent results. A few questions though:
At what point do I consider the device cooled down again? I’ve been using the wand set to 285C until timeout - how long should I be waiting before I can chuck it back in the wand on the same settings without risk of combustion?
Using the default zirconia balls, generally speaking how far can I push the temperature on the wand? Like I said, I’m using 285C at the moment and going by the colour of the abv there’s still some life left in the bowl. Folks that are getting a dark roast with the wand, what setting are you using?
I’ve set the V2 wand adapter such that the tempest depth looks in line with the example picture in the manual but I can’t see the VI at all when heating with this configuration, whereas others have stated they can just see it through the gap between the wand and the adapter - is there something I’m missing here?
Got a free weekend coming up where I’ll have the opportunity to play around with it a lot more but very satisfied so far!

I've been using my v2 with v2 adapter in full bowl with stock zirc and I'm finding f 575 a good temp for 1he. I have not tried ruby with v2, but with v1 and v1 adapter, I had pushed it to 615f with no combustion.

I'm so excited damn! Do we know if there's enough stock to fulfil all the orders? Not only the US orders, but also the UK and UK-to-EU orders? Or do we have to wait for another restock?
I guess the daily refreshing for about a month took its toll on my brain. lol

Just got my T2!! Quick question i took it apart and now i dont remember how the spiral got fit in there?
Just from the top of the condensor like from the bowl end screw it inside?? Dont wanna break it. Square flat part up or down? With the tip i screw it tight or do i need to twist it tight via oring?
Would be nice if someone finishes the manual

I assume not cause he said they should all ship by end of may, and it’s only the 21st
Yes, there is going to be enough stock now, but it will take a few days until I can ship out all orders. I’ll start at the beginning of the list (~P9600) with the US orders and then continue with all from around P10250.
Screw off the MP and push it into the condenser from there. Then screw back the MP and tighten it once you set the airport on the stem.
I don't have them with me yet and they're missing the logo from the back. It will be available with the next pre-order for the colored T2'sIs there a way to charge a wood sleeve to my US order before it ships out

I tried two back-to-back bowls, same flower, I noticed that the vapor coming from the Tempest 2 head is warmer/hotter then coming from the v1 head. I tried this with the v2 stem and v1 stem. Too soon for a review, looks promsing, but I dont have the feeling I want to upgrade my v1 to v2 yet.
dont wait!
When it comes out of the wand on first heat cycle and is very hot look at the VI. That position is the burning point, do not go quite that far on the reheat or will prob combust. Remember the position of the VI and make sure you stay below that.
Once you have toked it for the first heat cycle and its not producing much vapor, put it back in the wand and count 8 blinks of the light - that should take the VI to below the burning point... (if you are at the burning point then dont toke! wait for the VI to start moving down again and try 6 blinks next time) have a puff and see if much vapor produced. If no vapor produced then next time you are reheating extend the count to 10 or 12 blinks.
If you get lots of vapor but after a few tokes it tastes slightly charred or woody then stop and your AVB will be very dark brown, you dont need to necessarily keep toking till all the vapor is gone cos it gets harsh
Its a good idea to open the cap and check on the bud to see if it needs a reheat.
With the tempest 1 I reheat for 8 - 10 blinks and get great vapor on the second heat
also, I havent go tmy v2 yet, but with the V1 I highly highly highly recommend getting a medium sized bubbler like the V2 Globe matrix. I assume the v2 will also be best with a bubbler, it makes it easier to get an enormous toke, its smoother through water, you can see enormous milky clouds building up in the chamber... next level... seriously.

Once you've dialled it in you might start to like it more.
I think the T1 stem runs cooler than the T2, however, now that I have the T2 head dialled in, I'm doing fewer bowls as I'm getting more out of my materials, so it's actually easier on the throat for that reason, going through less bowls is as beneficial as a better cooling stem for me.
Also, there is another twisted ribbon with more twists at the device launch in june, that will help cool things down.
As much as I prefer the old stem, I am using the new one more, and I'm finding it more comfortable now, I've had mine for 2/3 weeks I think.

I have V1 and V2 - both stock zirconia balls. V1 I ran at 300c in the wand until timeout and found that was about as far as it would go without combustion. V2 I’ve settled at 290c until timeout for the moment and I’m rarely disappointed with the colour of the abv. I don’t even really bother looking at the visual indicator because I’ve never felt like it needed another heating (note I used the old wand adapter with the V1 which may be why it needed a bit longer in there, new adapter is more efficient)

I managed to eject the screen, but now having hard time mounting it again.
Every time when trying to screw the screen in, one screen groove stays outside of the lock groove.
Counted 43 balls, hope I got that right.

Do you know if Vgoodiez will be carrying your stuff again in the future? It was nice having a US vendor for Mad Heaters stuff, but they sold out pretty quick when they had your stuff.
Flatten the screen and before you try to lock it make sure that all 3 "ears" are in the rail. The first 15-20 degrees should be very easy to turn before it locks. If one sticks out no matter how you shake the balls away, you have too many in there. Hold it straight. There is no specific amount as there is a slight variation in the ball size. 42-46 usually.
That's the plan, we'll see how it'll work out with the tariff.

YES! Removed one ball, so I have 42 Quartz balls, instead of 43 Zirc, and it fits!
Meanwhile I also realized I had small bowl position all the time...and was getting totally smacked by 0.1 setting thinking it was 0.15. Fun times ahead.
For now, I do really like 0.1 bowl with Quartz, direct no cooling spiral.
460f till timeout sounds ok with Quartz? It's synchronized with 2nd click.
