Tempest 2 Slim

Glad the tempest 2 heads are back i stock. My first tempest 2 was the first best experience with vaping for me next to when I started because it was with a bubbler. Had a hiatus due to allergies and back on the bubbler again with SS tempest 2 slim and the SS heater core mostly because it's easier to maintain. The balls definitely provide a better vapour quality and experience and feels better to pull, even with the same set up as in the whole airflow on the cap open and stem completely closed. I'm going to get a few caps to alternate might end up using balls more often if it's easier to maintain with a couple heads in cycle rather than just using one dedicated head. It's a pain in the ass to clean the balls properly cos they retain some film you gotta soak them for ages. Anyway this is my absolute favourite vape in existence I am fanboying a bit due to positive experiences from this but the actual vape itself while it requires an induction heater with batteries to truly perform optimally and those are disposable and cost money, the fact that this device will last so long and is hardy and robust makes up for that. It's portable which is great too. I'm getting a handheld bubbler so I can take it out, as I can't really use it native due to allergies. It's really a great device through a waterpiece. Thanks mad heaters you deserve your cult following

The slims are a great addition to the lineup.
The titanium stem feels great, has a great weight, balance and mouth feel to it.
The head works as well as they always do, thorough extraction, visual and audible indicators work a treat too.
I'll upgrade the heat shield to the wooden one at some point,
Overall it's a great device and it's fantastic to see a company doing their best to make their products more affordable to the masses.

Great device!

Beautiful sturdy device, arrived on time despite the intercontinental shipping, complete order w/ all the accessories and even a couple stickers!

The T2 Slim itself is a beautiful purple and already comes assembled and ready to use. The 0.05g microbowl is perfect and roasts beautifully, the case cap is the perfect tool for the session (especially if not using the magnetized YLL), click indicators and visual indicator are perfect, heating to the farthest one leaves the herb at the edge of carbonization but reliably doesn't combust.

I'm not even sure what I'd change about the product, other than the fact that the visual indicator is hidden when using an IHbut that's expected. Such a great device, I hadn't even heard anyone say it but the visual indicator can be used in semi-darkness due to it having an open window.

Tried a bunch of media types including the cores, stock Zirc is best IMHO (and didn't have too hard a time with the balls/screens, maybe it's easier on the Slim than older models?) and a Zirc core would make the device absolutely perfect.

Coming from the modular Dynavap, I don't miss it. The T2 has so much to personalize as well, from media type to cap restriction, and for cheaper! I might even get a second cap or head to keep loaded with a different media type, or try the SS. Wonderful company from pre-purchase customer service until the moment it arrived in my hands, and beyond. Thank you!

I've wanted a Tempest e e ever since they first came out but when I had the cash they were always sold out grrr. But when the Slim came out I grabbed one straight away and so glad I did. I have Revolves and Dynavaps and a couple of desktop ball vapes and it's in the league of ball vapes but is portable. I love it and the eco system Madheaters have created with the case and reload.

Loving the new stem. I really hope madheaters reads these reviews cause I’d love if they made some wooden sleeves for this new stem.

Or maybe other sleeves like micarta, leather or minerals like quartz or something cool. sleeve possibilities are endless.

I’ve owned every madheaters tempest, this is my new favourite. I also picked up the new titanium heater core, it works great! i think I prefer it over the zirconia or rubies. 75w for 35sec in the yll perfect hit every time.

Game changer. Haven't touched any of my old vapes since

Wow, just wow. Amazing product, amazing company, amazing customer service.

I ordered the Tempest 2 slim the day it was released; and it came the next day. The staff were working overtime to get them out to us. The device itself is fantastic. It holds the right amount of flower and it hits nice and hard. You can easily do one hit extractions or slower hits, it works amazing for both.

Especially for the price - this out perfroms all over stock/manual vapes and many electronic ones. This has changed the game completely.

The customer service was so good, that I am currently saving up my money to buy another device, just for the flex. I also got the YLL induction Heater, and the reload 3. If you vape your meds, the reload 3 is absolutely non negotiable. You need to get one!

The GOAT. Nothing was wrong with the t2 however mad heaters found ways to improve it with the t2s. I love everything about the stainless steel setup. I wasn't a fan of the body so I customized mine into something even cooler. Thats what is so amazing with the t2s. It's however you want it!

Used a competitor for years and always heard good things about the T2. When I saw the T2 slim get released I had to give it a try and was blown away from the first use. It’s retired a few vapes I had in the rotation, it’s that good.

An amazing battery free vape, easy to clean and keep maintained. Pairing it with a YLL 3.0 completes it. Very flavourful and you can be sure to get the most out of your herb. Do you need 1 if you already own a tempest 2? No, but you should still get 1 😀

Habe mir den T2Slim SS geholt mit dem SS Heizkern und was soll ich sagen: Das Teil  macht dich unglaublich Stoned!
Ich liebe meinen original T2 Ti all Black, aber der T2Slim SS knallt anders!

T2 Ti macht dich High ohne Ende, aber der T2Slim SS drückt dich richtig in die Couch!
Perfekt für Haschisch, da er die Wärme noch länger hält.
100% Kaufempfehlung!!!

Danke Mad Heaters❤️

Vapes boss, feels nice in the hand, no complaints at all

Admittedly I’m very late to the Tempest party . I’m so impressed, I’ve bought the Tempest 2 slim and have also trawled the internet, to purchase an original Tempest 2 (hard to find)

Believe the hype, it’s absolutely justified. Brilliantly engineered, simple to use. Works flawlessly, it’s just incredibly easy to dial in the perfect session.

It’s also a piece of kit, that you know will last you a lifetime. Its construction feels so well thought out and …… just usable.

The unfortunate thing about loving this device so much is, all my other DHV devices are currently sitting in a draw. It’s genuinely retired premium devices, which is testament to how good the Tempest 2 slim is.

I rarely leave reviews, this one was a no brainier.

Get one.

MAD Heaters asked me to review the Tempest 2 Slim, but to do that properly I first need to give my experience with the Tempest 2, which I bought in November 2025. The Tempest 2 is a perfect device. It hits hard and tastes great. Flavour-wise, it’s slightly behind my Solo 3, but it tastes better than my Wireless One Hit Wonder, which is a literal ball vape with wide-open airflow. That says a lot about a portable thermal extraction device, or TED, tasting better and hitting harder than an actual ball vape. I have two months of experience with my Wireless One Hit Wonder now, with over 700 bowls through it, and it hits hard and tastes great. It just doesn’t hit as hard or taste as good as the Tempest 2. It’s close, but the Tempest 2 is really in a league of its own, at least the way I have mine set up. There are a thousand different ways to configure one, but my setup hits harder and tastes better than my Wireless One Hit Wonder while tasting only slightly less good than my Solo 3, which is in a league of its own for flavour. The Tempest 2 feels great in the hand, and its 10, 14, and 18 millimeter tapered mouthpiece fits natively onto all of my glass. I can use it natively like a joint or put it on a bong. The draw restriction is perfect for me because I can take my time and milk an entire straight tube instead of whitening it out instantly like the Wireless One Hit Wonder. I’m using the YLL 3.0 with a titanium heater core, so my Tempest 2 is essentially fully titanium. There are no balls in the head to worry about falling out. The only stainless steel parts are the screens and induction sleeve.

The Tempest 2 Slim is perfection, just like the Tempest 2. I bought mine in the all-black stainless steel variant with the black PPS heat shield. My original Tempest 2 is titanium and originally had a purple aluminum heat shield. I later bought a titanium heat shield for the full titanium look and a black walnut heat shield for more of a blunt-looking aesthetic, so I have three different sleeves for it. Once Sleepy Ghost 515 starts making sleeves for the Tempest 2 Slim, I think I’ll pick up black walnut and purpleheart, but for now I’m rocking the black PPS sleeve. Performance-wise, it hits exactly the way I expect a Tempest 2 to hit. I already know my YLL settings, airflow settings, draw cadence, technique, and glass, so there wasn’t much of an adjustment period. The difference is that this one is stainless steel. I’m running the Slim at 85 watts with a 56-second timer on the YLL, using a stainless steel heater core with no balls. My titanium Tempest 2 is at 85 watts with a 45-second timer, but I don’t use the whole timer. I base it on where the Tempest clicks and pull it five seconds after the click. If it clicks at 20 seconds, I pull it at 15; if it clicks at 10, I pull it at five. That gives me dark coffee-bean AVB—not toasted, just dark coffee-bean AVB. The flavour is pretty much neck and neck, sitting just below my Solo 3. On the stainless steel Slim, the flavour is still so good and the clouds are huge. I really don’t know which one I like more. I think I might like the stainless steel more because it hits a little harder and tastes almost as good. The titanium tastes slightly better and hits slightly weaker, but they both still hit harder than my ball vape. I’m also in love with the aesthetic: purple Reload and purple case for my original purple titanium Tempest 2, and black Reload and black case for my all-black stainless steel Tempest 2 Slim.

The main thing I didn’t like about my Tempest was that I couldn’t run it back to back. That’s why I bought the Wireless One Hit Wonder. It’s a ball vape, so I can use it over and over again. The problem is that even though I can run it back to back to back, it still doesn’t hit as hard as my Tempest. It gets maybe 90 or sometimes 95 percent of the way there, but it never quite hits as hard and certainly isn’t as consistent. Every time I pick up the Tempest, I get a huge cloud and great flavour. I always wanted to be able to do that more than once without waiting 10 minutes for the bowl to cool back down. I’ve had my Tempest 2 Slim since Monday, and it’s Wednesday afternoon now, so I have about 48 hours with it. I’m literally running the titanium Tempest 2 and then the stainless steel Tempest 2 Slim back to back to back while the ball vape sits untouched in the background. I’m not worried about either Tempest combusting because one cools down while the other is being used. I don’t want to say it’s like having a ball vape, because both Tempests hit harder and taste better than the ball vape, but the main problem of not being able to run the Tempest back to back has been eliminated by having two of them. I’ve got nothing but good things to say about both the Tempest 2 and the Tempest 2 Slim.

IMO the most aesthetically pleasing of the Tempest line up so far, the Slim packs the same punch you can expect from the standard T2 in a sleeker more manufacture friendly design. If you’re wanting to use your Tempest mainly through a waterpiece then look at the T2, with the stem being specifically designed to fit natively in all your bubblers.. otherwise I’d say the Slim is your guy now. A microdose bowl setting is now available too which is lovely to see. I’m running a Ti Slim with wooden sleeve (available soon) and the Ti heater core with the Yll 3.0 and this will be the setup now I would imagine until MH comes up with a T3.

This is a fine evolution of the Tempest line, and I'm actually enjoying it more than my Tempest 2 original. It has all the positive features of it's predecessor but the heater has been improved, and the airflow increase is phenomenal! A sheer pleasure to use, yet substantially cheaper and a powerful challenger to it's competitors. If you like manual vapes, you'll almost certainly love this example!
