The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

Indicator is titanium, cap and sleeve are stainless steel.
Avoid hitting the coil and discs with the torch.

Best of luck, doesn't sound like that's been much fun..

Thanks a lot! What about the part that screws onto the bowl? It that titanium?

I love that fact that I can tear this down all the way. No major harm was done. I think a good polishing will bring it almost as good as new.

For those of you using the V2 wand adaptor and the tempest 1, do you set the depth the same for tempest 1 and 2?

I keep the depth the exact same, but drop the temperature for the v1 from where it would be on the v1 adapter. The v2 adapter heats way quicker imo

Just got my tempest V2. Giving the bowl and body a clean.
Is it recommended to soak the head (and balls) iso as well?

Thanks.

I personally raise the adapter a few millimeters higher when using the V1 than where I keep the V2 with the new adapter. As its been quite an improvement over the glass attachment in that it doesn't leech heat from the glass insert.
I aim for where I put my V1 with the glass adapter but on the new adapter. You might need to tweak it a few mils up or down depending on how you like your roast. Happy experimenting!

The inner cap that contains the balls is titanium as well.

Man the one hit aspect of this thing is blowing me away. I didn't have the same consistency with the T1 as I do with the T2. Original glass adapter at 595F has the second click now every time on the dot as time over shows on the Wand.

With T1 I needed to usually do a primer puff or two. With T2 and the ruby balls there is literally nothing easier after it's heated. Effortless wonderful clouds with flavor and a hearty slap across the face. I thought I was pampered with T1 but holy shit.
