The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

[ThisIsMyVapestick]

Always up for some science, what do you wanna know?
I'm in the honeymoon/testing phase, trying to find my favorite setup for it, so taking requests

I can tell you this for starters, in my opinion - without the cooling unit it is much different than a helix tube Tempest v1, but very similar to a direct tube Tempest v1. With the cooling unit it is more similar to the helix T1 and noticably different than direct T1.

If I was doing a blind Tempest draw test, v1 vs v2, I am pretty sure that I would not notice the difference... both perform very similarly and have that same signature.

Gotta say, the new adapter is the MVP though, it heats up faster and the batteries last longer - I am impressed.

Actually, this is great to know! It gives me some experimenting to try with the T1 while I wait... "patiently".

At no point leading up to the initial reviews was I expecting anyone to say this. Glad to hear that everything is well-engineered!

I received it thank you @Brenyo for all the little extras I also had trouble removing the screen that holds the balls after some heating I managed to remove it. Now they take off and put it back very easily, on the other hand it arrived with some micro scratches it doesn't matter but I like it when it's perfect . I heat it to 740°F with the wand I wait for the light to stop flashing and for me it's perfect a single extraction in a single heat.

Hello hello,
first post - reader without account since a couple of months here.
Received my Tempest 2 and am blown away, like most of you.
Somehow there wasn’t the bigger black part of the new Wand adapter in my package, but it still works with the two „disks“ (black screw and white silicone) plus rubber.
Was wondering though if it would be good to have the other part to keep it more in place and to try out depth differences?
Also I noticed some melting on the silicon, anyone else?

Has anyone successfully changed out the balls in the tempest 2? I just tried to and my screw driver does seem to be working and I think I mean the hole bigger

Ive received my Tempest and Im a happy man for today ☺
This thing is a beast, Ive had great results using a quad jet and also using the wand heated bowls until got drunk on it Did a truck hit me?For the time being Ive used the setting that the bowl was set default I believe to be 0.1
IMHO The stem performing its superior relative to vapour it( Ive used t1 head on t2 body) It gives you more vapour than the V1 body with same v1 head and and as somebody said earlier it's a trade off for the vapour heat even still smooth and dense smoke.
So fells good, looks good you get more vapour for longer time with less need for heat, less batteries consumption with the improvement of the new adapter that when I compare it to the dynavap adapter that I used to used I can go 30 or 40celcius lower.
Well Im fucking happy let me go and have a ,
Madheaters Congrats again I was nearly thinking that the process was rushed and pushed to simplify but I can see the reasons behind now
The locked setting on this one for the time being I would say that is different than the v1 and It doesn't mean better or worse.

Titanium is naturally fairly easily scratched, not gouges, wee matrks. My Ti Mouthpiece is scratched from the 14mm wpa to the very end as I ofen use glass. No problem!

I've had my T2 just over a fortnight now and have only used my T1 a couple of times since (for science).

The T2 wins the 'grab test' because it consistently out performs everything else I own from an efficiency/ production pov. Dialled right up this thing is a monster; the only downsides being to my tolerance and that I have burnt (scalded?) (cooked?!) my tongue a couple of times now and probably could use some external cooling.

Any recommendations for DURABLE cooling options? Ideally DRY and not glass as I can't be trusted.

TIA

Ceramic bong, much heavier and more durable than glass.

Got the notification that my T2 is on the way!
Can anyone in the US tell me the approximate time it took to go from shipment notification to your door?

These will get moved to the Mad heaters shipping thread. But I'm curious what order number you were? I'm 1005X. Hoping today is the day!
