@phenomflowers damn, I want a Nier’s robot to take care of my tempest too become as gods!
I would wait for the new IH since its release can be in a couple of months

I did some crumble and extra terp rolled up in vapewool into the T2. I got soooo many big flavourful puffs from each heat cycle and i could do 4 cycles. That's insane value! Very happy and very faded customer here!

Think I found my sweet spot with Quartz balls and .1 bowl.
445f till second click, which is few seconds before timeout. Could go lower, as I also had half empty batteries.
Wand adapter screw quite high as shown on pic.
Light brown AVB.
Bonus 2nd pic of setup

beautiful! who makes the wood sleeve on your v1?

As a v1 user it is nice to hear that many people consider the v2 to be mainly different and not straight up better. Makes it easier to ignore that VAS for a few more months!


Sadly I am too dumb to image how that would look on the tempest.

I like V2 more in all honesty. Better extraction, bigger wider bowl, so even when in smaller bowl setting you benefit from more airflow. The WPA functionality. Increased potency. Increased IH efficiency.

I also think the stem is an amazing one stem fits all. It's the best stem for the Tornado and CXL imo. As it cools well, with wide open airflow.

Love V1. But I love V2 more

I've found just going to the 2nd click is perfect as well for the Zirc balls, didn't need to go to timeout.

I have a small problem with heating my tempest2 in inspire wand. no matter what temperature is set (I tried from 240C to 285C) I burn or am very close to burning. I rarely get to the second click. I use a new adapter. do you have any suggestions?

This was happening to me but then I started letting it heat soak for like 5 seconds after the timeout and then ill start hitting it. Now its flavorful and packs a punch hope this helps.

im tempted to torch color the mouthpiece and the heatshield, did u think the logo will stay if i carfull sand it off later? what do u think guys ?

Hello how do you do to have 2 clicks because I only have 1 strong click and if I exceed it it goes into combustion. On the visual indicator I am between the third and second bar I use the wand adjusts to 290°c and I wait for the dead time. Thanks

If your only doing the flat where the logo is, I'd probably use micro mesh on it, I'd start at the higher more gentle grades, that way it shouldn't alter the logo too much.
You can usually get a pack of 9 grades on Amazon, but if you're not going to use them often, it might not be worth buying them.

im thinking as well that its not a big issue as long as i use a fine grid. I have sand paper in all kinds, thats no issue. i did some coloring on my omni allready, i removed the torch coloring and made a second attemp which i liked more, no issues with logo so far.

im not sure tho if i want to flame anodize it, its tempting though I think golden or light blue would look gorgeous.
i will sleep over it, in the sunlight its better do torch color as well.

 

[HaggisHunter]

It'll look good for sure. They colour well out the box without doing anything other than giving it a proper clean.
Have fun if you decide to do it

Any idea how to use the C-shaped black plastic tool to get my CCD screen in? Have already completely bent it and it’s impossible to get it to lock in correctly. Do I use the reload tool?


Also, not 100% happy with the Tempest V2 so far. I’m getting pretty high, but I don’t really have bigger or better hits than V1. I would say maybe even worse — it’s mostly wispier hits, mostly one decently big hit, then maybe a small one and that’s it. I tried many configurations, depths, even switched to rubies and tried different stems altogether. I’m getting pretty high, but I’m not blowing clouds and getting these insane 15-toke multi-hits like i've been seeing around here. Granted, I’m on the smallest setting, but that should still be more than my go-to mid setting on Tempest V1.

Hope I can figure it out, as I’m happy with the increased heat — it’s just my weed is done before I hit setting 3.
ABV is dark brown and even.
The best hit I’ve gotten was without the spiral. There I had 4–5 hits, but it was too hot to enjoy and I coughed forever on and off.

I also had trouble with the tiny might which it reminds me off. Maybe its the more convection? Sometimes i got insane hit with the TM then i got nothing for 10 uses in a row and sold it eventually. Only ever got 1 good hit and that's it. With the Tempest v1 i could really one man hot box 4-5 hits giant clouds. I haven't been able to do that at all with the Tempest v2 so far. Maybe my model is broken and not air sealed or something? really not sure.


Would appreciate any advice, as I’m not selling it yet. I want to love it like I loved my Tempest V1. On paper, I love all the upgrades.
Going back to the glass adapter later and doing back-to-back hits with the Tempest V1.

You have to set it on the lines of the bottom of the inner stem when you remove the mouthpiece. It has 2 lines (for 1/2 and 1/3 bowl)

ugh, sorry for the lips, but did it leave any marks on the head?

Oh bruh its a perfect circle with a subtle blisters

Titanium is a bitch to polish... if you want to recover the logo area you'll need to finish with polish paste and cloth. Otherwise it'll look scratched. Even with super fine steel wool...
