No reason not to buy such a versatile IH when there’s great discount and you’re not on a budget. I read it works well with all these devices. And by the time the Forge is fixed, you‘re in a very comfortable position to wait for a good price.
Sorry, couldn't resist. In all seriousness @RedZep, I don't think most people care about your opinion, or your opinion of other people's opinions, until you've actually tried the device. Arguing with people who have one in hand and have been using it for weeks/months when you don't even have an order placed is kind of mind-boggling.I don't think that will work with mine. If I remove it, there's nothing left to connect the oven to the stem:
This however, is definitely relevant to my interests. I've been using mine regularly for almost 3 years now as I received the Founder's Edition at the end of 2021 so I've definitely developed some muscle memory both with my heating and draw technique. I'm finding the Tornado isn't as automatic as the Anvil was for me, and I'd wager that it's precisely because of this.
Many thanks for this. I've not quite gotten it dialed in yet, but I'm getting there. I definitely have had much more success going with the fast sub-15 second heat up. Going slower produced a good volume of vapour, but there's this sort of acrid taste that was consistent especially towards the end of the draw.
I'm still getting messages from people. I don't mind responding. I'm not staying away from anger. I just don't want to input with anymore conjecture until I have the device. I'll still be watching the thread.
Also, no one here is "attacking" the device, so there's no need to defend anything. Bringing that sort of mindset to the discussion is probably one of the contributing factors to why so many are getting their backs up about the things you're stating.
Back on topic,
I don't think that will work with mine. If I remove it, there's nothing left to connect the oven to the stem:
The valve is screwed all the way down into the stem and definitely can't go any further. That's exactly where I set it when I want completely open airflow with the Anvil, if I go the opposite way and restrict airflow, the gap will be even larger when connecting the Tornado oven. Even at the completely open setting in the pic you quoted, it seems like I'd still have to cut the top portion off similar to how people are modifying their integrated stems for the oven to sit flush without a gap. Regardless, I'm pretty sure function will be unaffected as the o-rings should provide a more than adequate seal. This doesn't pertain to my personal use case, I just thought I'd share what I'd found while testing out various configurations with it.

On a side note, I ran out of flower this week, which is a lot sooner than I normally would given my normal consumption pattern. I realized that I've been loading more into the Tornado than I usually put into my Flowerpot. Sort of gives a different perspective on how I might use it going forward.
Nope, the airflow is static. You can control flow with how tightly you pack the bowl.
thanks!!! Thought I was going crazy!!!!
I've tried this but the airholes in the bowl are too close to the theads, it just let's in too much fresh air with not enough surface area to heat it. Have you had success increasing airflow with the same thickness doing that?
I must say that I haven’t been trying it fully open, I use to back it up only like a 1/3 turn from being fully closed in order not to heat-lock it. Never felt the need for more airflow honestly. Before I replied to you I sucked directly at the Tornado WPA while turning the bowl. This definitely affected the airflow, that’s why I insisted, but I didn’t try it in action. If this doesn’t work due to not enough hot surface area, which sounds plausible, I‘m wrong with my take. Pretty sure I read somewhere that the airflow is regulated at the cap, but this may be one of Vestratto‘s initial plans that have died in the making.
