Tornado by Vestratto

[TigoleBitties]

I'd really like to try the Tornado on a DNA glass Vaphit stem using Scruffy's adapter, among the others I've got lined up.

Really can't find this guy within Canada though. Anyone know another place to source one of these?

 

[Roffa]

Does anyone happen to know if the Tornado is already available in the EU?

Not yet available, although I think Verdampftnochmal would be an ideal distributor

Edit: nvm.

Got the Tornado yesterday and it's very good. Proper bong hit effect from a DHV.

I need to a little tool for loading the bowl. Something with a little more to hold on to than the sneaky keychain thing.

I highly recommend TRWW’s scoops, he makes some specific with tampers for butanes.

Tornado does well with nugs as well.

Followup on Nado not fitting in my wand.

Bought some digital calipers - tornado coming in at 13.8 mm at the point that it "catches" in the wand
Wand opening coming in at 13.7

Been corresponding with sneaky pete CS and they told me that the products aren't designed to work together, so if they fit, it's just a nice coincidence, and that it's actually better to insert from the bottom.

Whether it's "better" or not, is it overly petty to just want to be able to use the products in the same manner I watched Pete use the wand/tornado on a stream that's not even a week old? Having a hands free heating option is part of why I picked the wand. I also saw John tell him in the stream that it's better to insert from the bottom, but looking online (videos, forum posts, etc) it seems like most people default to dropping it in the top, and it just feels off not being able to do what most seem to "default" to.

Need feedback on if I would be out of line for returning and asking for a replacement. In between that, returning and getting the Camouflet inductor, or holding on to it and making due till the Forge revision comes out.

I’d honestly just return it and get the Camouflet.

I cut out a disk of 1mm thick cork and dropped that in from the bottom. I just let the tornado rest on that, this gives good results. I have a very old wand, the one still with the flower/concentrate switch and I can drop in from the top too, but for me ( I vape in bed a lot, haha) it's not that convenient.

People have made their own inserts and holders for many devices in the Wand. Maybe consider making one out of cork or silicone that could let you heat hands-free?

Also, maybe you could heat hands-free with the Wand on its side? I always just heat freehand since the times are so short.

Hum .. have you purchased the wand recently? mine was bought in April 2024 and is the new iteration with the DynaVap silicone adapter included in the kit.

Congrats Where did you get it ? Waiting for mine but postal strike is still on as i know of.

They will most likely be back to work by Mon/Tuesday. Government is sending them back to work.

I Hope the workers got what they wanted

Is it like in the US where the post office delivers medication to the elderly that can't drive?

 

[Vapetothegrave]

Unfortunately they got jack squat, not even what was previously offered as an increase until May 2025.

But black friday tornados were all shipped via DHL so they are unaffected. Sounds like they will be in good shape though to start the forge repair program as estimated by Vestratto Late Jan/Early Feb... but vestratto time usually means its safe to add a few weeks.

Unfortunately this is a temporary thing because the deal is so far away. It will probably result in another strike if they can't get anything done in relations board before May. It is a really "fuck you" to the postal workers.

Just rolled a nice glob of rosin around in some ground flower and popped it into the Tornado. Milked up my glass at least 5 times and I had to tap out. I think I got most of it judging by the ABV but wow. What a ride.

Here are some notes I've made from my (torch only) experience of using the Tornado for a few days, in no particular order:

• I've been completely closing the bowl rather than loosening 1/16 turn, but just with a feather-touch tightness and it hasn't got locked in place yet. Unscrewing the 1/16 turn I could hear fresh air entering which I felt was not how the device should work. Whether it actually matters I don't know.
• As has been previously mentioned, the click discs seemed to be a bit stiffer on the very first few heat ups. I say this because I over darkened the herb at first, but with all variables remaining the same (as far as possible) by the end of the first day the AVB was less dark. Worth taking into consideration when dialing in your preferred roast.
• With the same flame size and heating to first click, I heat in the middle of the large part of the oven (between holes and bowl) whereas with the Anvil I would need to heat a a little lower down towards the copper battery (further away from the click discs). John currently recommends heating the Vestratto lettering for a few seconds first, but I haven't been doing this. Maybe once he's experimented while using his new thermal imaging gun thing he'll confirm a recommended technique.
• I load very loosely. That means 0.05 in the Anvil full size (not the XL) bowl and now up to 0.15 in the Tornado XL. Very even AVB. I suspect that like the Anvil, a tighter pack would result in the bottom of the load being darker than the top, but I haven't tried >0.15 so I'd be interested to hear results from people loading 0.2+ etc.
• Works well for tiny 0.01 microdoses so no need to really use the Anvil now
• One heat up achieves full extraction, which was important for me.
• Same dense, hybrid, copper-core vapour as the Anvil, more bioavailable I couldn't say.
• The Madheaters Reload magnet still works fine to unscrew the hot bowl, though the bowl diameter is too large to fit flush on the magnet.

Can't think of anything else at the moment, please agree/disagree and hopefully find useful the above.

I finally received mine and took it for a spin.

Early conclusion - It's fantastic.
At a level of just comparing the Anvil heater with an xl bowl, the Tornado is better in every way.
I've only used off a dry pipe and a jay hook. Jayhook was great. Can't wait to try it through a stem.


First heating I disregarded the instructions and the bowl wouldn't come off until cool. Wasn't screwed on too tight either. I think flame was too big as well. Avb was very dark.

Subsequent heating was done with a smaller flame and higher up closer to the tip. Also left the bowl unsrewed. Very nice.

As expected big huge clouds. Tastey too! Smooth and satisfying. Tons of it. Great effects. Felt fluffy and silky. I think the anvil is a bit more silky with less fluff. Prefer the tornado vapour hands down.

Good versatility between a heavy hitter and something a bit above a microdoser. Don't know what the minimum pack would be.

Seems like the next evolution of Vestratto.

TLDR
I'd recommend to everyone.
Not just a big anvil.

Paired with the wand, there is no minimum pack.
