Tempest vs Simrell

[Cru]

Honestly, the T2 is so dialed in general that with rubies, zirc, sic, ect.., I just get to the first or second click and pull. Pretty much repeatable 24/7. Only on a fresh cold start I use the Wand at 550-600f. Just get to the clicks after the first round at 500f+. Don't forget to wait for the cool down click in-between as this is the only way this thing can combust. Tempest 2 and the Simrell Ti are my best/favorite TEDs in 2025.

How do the T2 and the Simrell compare? Which one is better in your opinion?

There is no better on this context, there is different preferences and experiences I see them as a complementary to each other and both are great efficient tools to use for extract the vapour . Madheaters is thousand times better with the customer care service than simrell by my own experience, if you need choose one I would recommend the Tempest.
The T2 is more versatile OMHO which you can regulate how you want to use it, regulating the air flow so you can have a bong/DTL experience with it open wide cap or you can have a joint/MTL experience with half open or 1/3 from the cap that will last many mtl puffs.
At beginning I disliked the simrell cause it cools down really quickly with make quite upsetting in comparison to the tempest at this perspective MTL however the bong/DTL experience with it is amazing, feels like the extraction of the vapour is quick even and efficient reminds the anvil but with less time heating it,It is versatile with the use conduction heating more the botton then convection heating more the top Ive used it mostly on the hybrid mode, If i want conduction I go for a dynavap hiperdyn If I want convection I stick to the tempest or TA3/TA4 .The long intercooler unit from the t2 is long as much the tool cooling unit from simrell.

Damn,I love these tools

Simrell bowl is about half the size, so the rips don't pack as big of a punch compared to full bowl T2. But it's still a solid piece for lighter rips / great flavor tasting. And I really like how there's no o-ring or any replaceable parts with Simrell. However, T2 seems to be my main driver, at the moment. Sends me straight to the moon with a single heat up, every time.
