Tempest Heater Core

Très performant ! Bouffées plus consistantes et saveur au top. Et bien sûr, c'était la raison de mon achat, plus simple à nettoyer et aucun risque de perte de bille. Top !

Hits like the Zinc balls but with more airflow!! Retains heat a little longer. Very satisfying.

I don'tt care about tase a lot but I like consistent brown avb. The core roasts it a little better than balls.

Consistent heat-up, strong and smooth draw.

I'm extremely clumsy and my the primary reason I bought this thing was so I'd stop losing balls every time I drop this thing. I have found, however, that this core makes for an incredible one hit extraction machine that has completely replaced my beloved rubies. 28s@100w, 2mm spacer depth on the YLL 3.0 gives me beautifully dense vapor on a microdose bowl. On the other hand, this core also seems to do a significantly better job with heat retention for longer, J-style sessions. No clue how it works and I'm too medicated to explain further. Buy it and try it, get your head out of your way.

I find with this new core I can finish a bowl faster as if the heat is more Concetrate and when I take a puff it extracts all the vapour quickly.
I like the new option even tho I am not using it all the time

For me the heater core cools down too quickly I prefer using my rubies especially for this price point , further I do think it hits quite nice but the taste of the rubies is better

This thing has been an absolute game changer for me! I was terrible with the balls, myself screens were always popping especially if I dropped it. Sometimes it would pop and sometimes it wouldn't after hitting the induction heater and balls would go everywhere. Well with this titanium insert that's done for. Think of it like filling the cap full of 1-1.5mm titanium balls and that's what this insert is. It would be really cool if SiC insert could be made like this. This does change your vaping style btw. Because you're heating 2 pieces of precision machined titanium this is going to be the absolute best way for a massive one hit wonder. Set the bowl to the deepest setting and get the yll 3.0. preheat it for 30 seconds on 60 watts and then cool it down and get your favorite 3 flame torch and let it rip. The other cool thing with this ball replacement is if you like to heat the threads of your bowl like I do you can implement a hybrid style vape by tilting the head sideways and running the frame from the threads to the top of the cap. This will produce a vapor way thicker and flavorful and more potent than any other "big bowl tip". Thank you mad heaters for an innovative and useful product.

The new core is a solid improvement. It's easier to clean than the balls, and it also appears to provide better thermal conduction, which benefits hash extraction. The only drawback I've noticed is that the core can move inside the cap. When it shifts toward the visual indicator area, it partially restricts the airflow, resulting in a slightly tighter draw.

Takes a bit of getting used to, made it easier to combust. Need to try around with the settings a little.
