The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

If anyone is looking for a cheap leather case I think I have found a good option

It's a leather pen holder I got from amazon

The measuments are 16.5L x 4.3W x 4.3H centimetres (6.5 x 1.7 inches). It's pretty much the same size as the T1 leather case

Evening all.

After following the helpful suggestions here, I've gotten my wand working much better. Setting it deeper did help. Currently using it at about 330c and it's almost performing the same as using a torch now. Much easier to use when I'm out and about though.

Do you have a choice of spiral? Mine only has 1 spiral

I have 2 spirals. The normal one and a short one: but maybe it is just a test to try it. Anyway; the normal one makes a good job and the retention is minimal. The short one is way more harsh

So why did Mad Heaters go away from the Revolve-style double spiral in the stem?

I just got my new T2 and I love the way it heats with the new Wand adapter (although the whole rubber band setup seems a bit janky).

I like the big fat stem, it reminds me of my favorite Dynavap stem, my Joe King Assassin with a Simrell Stinger attached, but I don't really know why they went away from that sort of double vortex design that effectively doubles the length of the cooling path. With all the space in the new stem it seems like a bit of a missed opportunity ... although I guess it's a lot easier to produce and easier to understand how to use ... but I already put all that effort into understanding how the Revolve stem works ....

@Brenyo, would it be possible to design a longer spiral intercooler for the V1, similar to the one used on the V2? Would be nice as part of the V1 upgrade.

Loving my V2 so far, this thing is amazing

This would be so cool. Could be a premium update or something like that.

Would be more cooling than the direct path with a easier draw.

Yes, exactly. Using a longer SCU with the direct tube, after doing the rest of the V1 upgrade, should make it function pretty close to the V2

As someone coming into this with next to no knowledge on induction heaters, is there a list of recommended ones? I’ve seen arguments for the wand, Flare, and YLL, but which are compatible with the tempest 2.0?

YLL & the Flare do not work with the Tempest unfortunately. YLL doesn't fit the head, and the Flare doesn't detect the Tempest properly so only uses low wattage

The wand is great for the Tempest though. You can get 1 heat extraction consistently once you get the wand adaptor set up properly

The wait was LONG but all Laughing Buddha now.

Running the Chonky Stem V2 with the hypertip and cap, call it the Franky. The large heat sink mass of the V2 stem works well with the oversize head and repeated heating of Ti cap. Good long sesh and deep rosin hole.
The hyper stem fits my 14mm water pipes better than V2 and is a good straight shot open air stem for one heat extraction (half bowl), fits my hand better.
The new head is wanderful, the wider bowl gives great extraction and holds heat well. I like my V1 and will not be changing parts.

Can I get a quick rundown on how to remove the ball screen to replace the balls? How much does it fit? A whole bag of the ones from MH or less?
