Tempest Manual

Unscrew the cap and fill the bowl by pushing it into your ground material or using the hoover / straw method. It's important to keep the threads clean and ensure good airflow, only light tamping is recommended. Screw the cap on gently until it is fully closed. Try to avoid touching the steel parts of the cap, as the oil residue from your fingers might burn onto it.

Hold the tip of the flame about 1 cm (1/3 in) away from the cap. Listen for the click and keep an eye on the visual indicator while slowly rotating the device for even heat distribution. The indicators respond based on where you heat the cap, so use the ring markings as reference points. Aim a little closer to the air slots with triple or large torches, but never heat the indicators directly.

To activate the Wand, press the main button twice. Set the "temperature" to adjust the desired heating time, and allow it to run until the "Time over" message appears. A temperature of 280°C / 525°F is typically a good starting point for Zirconia balls. Please read the detailed initial setup process below.

Use the leather case, the Reload's magnet, or the tool on the underside of its lid (Gen 2 only) to securely hold the hot cap and twist it off to open and empty the used material. You can use the leather case for storage, even if the cap is still hot. Instead of pulling, tilt the device to remove it from the magnet. Store the device in a safe place, as the cap retains significant heat for a few minutes.

• The most effective technique is to take long, slow draws while covering the air hole for the majority of the draw.
• The click disc will change slightly during the first 10 to 30 uses.
• We recommend using a triple, dual or medium size single-flame torch.
• For a more pronounced initial flavor and increased convection, move the torch closer to the air slots and expect slightly early indicators.
• During re-heats, don’t go as far on the visual indicator as initially; stop heating about one marking earlier.
• The visual indicator may continue to move as the heat spreads and equalizes within the cap. Never heat the indicators directly.
• Try not to touch the heated parts of the cap, as the oil from your fingers will burn onto it.
• Compatible induction heaters: iSpire Wand (max 100W), Vestratto Forge
• The double o-rings next to each other on the Tip and Cooling Unit are different sizes. You can find the specific sizes on the airflow diagram below where the sizes are marked with different colours. (ID x CS mm) 7x1mm - Green, 6x1mm - Grey , 5x1mm - Black.

If the glass cup is too hard to push into place, don’t force it, as it can break. Check to ensure the silicone insert hasn’t bulged on the other side, as this could prevent you from pushing it in completely. If necessary, try reinstalling the silicone. To increase the insertion depth from the other side, use the Tempest cap to push the glass further down.

Optional: You can trim the adapter’s silicone by two lines to see the visual indicator better through the bottom of the glass adapter.

During re-heats, don’t go as far on the visual indicator as initially; stop heating about one marking earlier.

The adapter's depth is too deep on this video so it's easier to see, please adjust it based on the picture above.

Squeeze the induction layer slightly at a specific point and rotate the air slots in relation to the three visual indicator lines. You can adjust the tightness of the rotation by removing the indicator housing and sleeve, then pressing the sleeve into a more oval or round shape.

In OPEN or BYPASS mode, you can regulate the maximum fresh air intake into the stem by adjusting the Airpath Control Dial or set it to CLOSED to stop the air intake through the airport.

Using the Reload's Debowler tool or the Airflow tube you can adjust the bowl size between 0.5cc -0.8cc ( approx. 0.075g - 0.15g )

To remove the mouthpiece easily, rotate the inner tube while pulling it out, then move the o-ring to the locking position. To move the o-ring from the locking position, pinch it from both sides until it bulges, then push it to the spinning position.

Fill the chamber with balls until they are just below the bottom of the screen threading (around 80x2.5mm or 43x3mm). Ensure the screen is flat, then center it over the thread. Apply light pressure in the middle and screw it in slowly until it reaches the end of the thread. Before fully tightening, ensure the balls can still move slightly and aren’t compressed. Keep pressing the screen’s center while tightening to prevent bulging, which would limit proper tightening.

Rotate the Bowl on the Radiator Sleeve so that the locking tabs align with the slots on the stem. This will provide a better grip when opening the bowl.

Align the notch on the outer sleeve with the line above the air port, and push the shield over the O-ring as far as possible. Ensure that the O-ring is not completely dry after cleaning; you can simply wipe your finger across it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to push into place.

Always flatten the screen before installing. If the screen is bent, you might not be able to tighten it properly, and it could come loose within the cap.
