Tempest 2

The Tempest provides a truly mindful cannabis experience.

The device head is essentially a "heat battery" that you "charge up" with a torch or induction heater. Once the heat builds up, your breath - the act of drawing - is what heats and vaporizes the herb. You get the best results with a long, quiet draw, allowing the air plenty of time to percolate through the ball matrix and then evenly heat the herb. I find the device works best when I use a mindful, yogi-like breath from my diaphragm.

The reward is buttery and flavorful clouds. The first time you get it, you'll be surprised at how much you're getting, and how smooth it feels. Every time I have a friend try it, they text me the next day asking where to buy one.

This is a very special device that has elevated my weed experience. The most refined way I know of consuming flower. Get one whenever you can!

Prior to getting a Tempest, I was using an old school ball vape. You know those things that plug into the wall and require a flippin' chemistry set to use? Sure, it worked good, but was overkill and kept me inside, chained to the desk in a dark room, often hitting bowls larger than was really needed. Medicating while out required another vape. I had a dynavap, but it was often lacking. Battery powered vapes just didn't do it for me, too clinical, no magic. So while the ball vape setup was okay for home use, taking it camping would require a generator! Then along came the Tempest and everything changed. I got rid of ALL of my other vapes almost immediately. With the Tempest, I could fit everything I needed in my pocket and use it wherever I was. Despite using my Tempest as much as I wanted, the amount I was consuming went down by almost 40%! Not long after I got my Tempest, I took it camping for a few days. A couple of full reloads, a can of butane and I was good to go. The attached video was taken when using the Tempest inside my tent in middle of the forest. Brilliant! I now have a vape that I can use anywhere. And it isn't just the Tempest that is wonderful, but the whole ecosystem. I cannot imagine life without a Reload. I use both torches and the Wand to heat the Tempest. My preferred torch is the Blazer Firefox, but I also use the Blazer PB-207 from time to time when I want a slower heat up. Pictured is an Xikar Tactical Triple Torch, which worked great and looked the part, but doesn't have a "lock" option to keep the flame lit without holding down the button. Preferred balls are 3mm Stainless, but also use Zirc from time to time. My only complaint about the Tempest is that the titanium stem gets warm after multiple back to back bowls. I know a wooden stem would resolve that, but I like the ease of cleaning of the titanium stem so I just deal with it. Since getting the Tempest, I've lost almost all interest in trying different vapes, with the exception being the Thermal Accumulator, due to it's shared DNA. I greatly appreciate the openness of Brenyo, sharing lots of information about the behind the scenes stuff and being available to answer questions etc. I look forward to the release of the Tempest 2 and (hopefully) a Mad Heaters induction heater later. I will buy both without hesitation and there is NOT A CHANCE I'll be getting rid of my original Tempest.

9.7/10 I decided to order a black Tempest in Wood (Ebony/Rosewood sleeve) to save some $. I can't thank Brenyo/MHs enough for getting the Tempest to me by my bday in September. Brenyo made sure that I received the package well before my birthday. I ordered every ball media in 2.5mm that was available at the time of purchase. Which also included the wand stand. A Reload in blue was also ordered. Once the package was shipped, it came incredibly quick from UK to CA. It was only 9 days in total. 4 of those days were spent being held in customs. Iwasincompleteshockandawe when I loaded up the Tempest at half bowl position and was effortlessly getting really tasty/terpy, big, voluptuous clouds using the wand with the included glass insert. After about 30 hits, I was starting to dial in my technique with the wand/Tempest. It immediately shelved all of DVs and its even shelved my ball vapes for a solid 2 months. Around60hitsiniswhenIreallystartedgettingeverythingdialed in, wand depth, preferred airflow on the MP/stem/head using the stock zirconia balls. Thehitsarejustsounbelievablytasty,terpy,andcanbebeyondthick and go neck to neck with my actual ball vapes in cloud production.Again,Ican'tstateenoughhowgoodthisvapetasteandhits.When you pairitwiththeReload, it makes an INCREDIBLE ecosystem that makes the workflow and doing back to back bowls with the Tempest and absolute breeze. When you pair the Tempest with Reload, it makes for insanely low profile/small carrying footprint. I can fit my wand, Tempest, Reload, pair of batteries/torch and a jar of weed in small bag, maybe 2 and half inches wide and 6 inches long, then throw that little bag in smaller sized sling bag and have EVERYTHING I need to get as medicated or obliterated on the go wherever and whenever I please.This vape has truly been a game changer for me as I'm constantly going in and out of the hospital from my wife having severe terminal illness(es). In the past I was bringing 2 DVs and a wand. It was taking me a solid 20-30 minutes to get where I wanted to be, while trying to be as fast and efficient as possible so I could get back to visiting my wife. in the hospital.

This has been a huge positive in my life. Afteronlyowningthe Tempest in wood for a week and half, I decided that I lovedthehit from the Tempest head so much I decided to have my mom order me a 2nd Tempest head in Lime Green for my birthday as well as a 2nd Revolve Gen 2 in Black for my birthday. Your customer service is the absolute best in the game. Being able to email you or send you a PM on FCombustion.com was an absolute treat. There was multiple times I hit up Brenyo asking if I should grab this or that piece. Not ONCE did he EVER try to upsell me on products, in fact. He did the opposite which blew my mind. He actually helped me save money and decide on what product(s) would be best for me. I can't thank him and his hands down AMAZING customer service. Not to mention all of the free things he shot my way. I got 3 glass sleeves for free, a black DRC for free, a Silver MP for free, soooo many free items....!!! It felt like Christmas in September! What a truly amazing birthday gift to myself. If anybody is on the fence about grabbing a Tempest head without a RG2/Tempest CU, don'ttrip. Go ahead and buy the head if you have a collection of DV stems, especially wood stems. One of my favorite ways to hit the Tempest is on my Ti and wood MVS stems. It's a really fun time. Also, throwing a head on a WPA is an amazing experience and half of the reason I bought a 2nd head! Its great having one on a stem and having one on the WPA as well as to start swapping out the ball media and compare and contrast the zirc to rubies, gem cuts, SS, SiC, etc. I have severe OCD and love to write down and record every single hit. I'm over #500+ hits in with my black Tempest head in wood. I've easily ran at least 5 ounce, probably 8oz through it at this point. It's one of my favorite vapes that I've ever owned. So much so that I bought another Tempest head in Green. The endless airflow configuration on the mouthpiece, the stem, AND the head airflow make the different setup possibilities absolutely endless and able to tailor to how you prefer to vape. If you're on the fence and can't decide, JUST DO IT!!! You will absolutely not regret it. I would HIGHLY recommend grabbing a Reload to pair with it as to easily and nicely cool down, reload, and even store the Tempest on the Reload. I'll carry the Tempest around on the Reload through the house to the backyard. The magnet on it is really strong. Its also hands down the best tool to use with a DV if you don't already own one. Thank you more than words can ever explain for this vape and reload combo

What can i say that hasn't already been said.

With a torch this is great, with the wand its a whole other level.

The Vi is so useful for chain-vaping back to back loads, no more faffing around waiting for cooldown clicks, just use the visual indicator. Can't wait to see what the v2 brings

This is as good, and in many use cases, distinctly better than the other heavy hitters in this product category (e.g., the anvil, thermal accumulator, and fusion)

Easily the most innovative product in years and I have no doubt that Madheater continues to ride the hot hand.

The first thing you notice about the tempest when you receive one is how beautiful it is. It really is gorgeous. The machining is lovely, the anodising is lovely the weight and feel of the Tempest are spot on. As for vapour production, it smacks. Having used the stock zirc balls and the SS balls I get a different experience but it still smacks. All the airflow options change how the device performs and how you can use it. Such a customisable and personal vape. It’s a breeze to clean and all disassembles nicely. Honestly this thing is amazing and will 100% stand the test of time. Get one if you can.

Do it now

Been using it for a couple of months now, it's a very customizable vape. I found I like using the half bowl setting with a combination of SS and zirc balls, with the wand. Very consistent, dark brown even roasts with lovely flavour. Can be used like a joint, like a a bong, like a vape... Oh and the VI is an extremely useful feature.

The Tempest is often referred to as the end game device for a reason. It is. It’s an on the go, in the house, take to the sesh masterpiece. It does take some time and herb to fine tune for your exact situation but that is needed for the level of precision you get. Once it’s dialed in there is nothing better.

Not used anything else since getting a tempest and been combustion free since 2016. Been through loads of devices desktops ballvapes tm2... Etc.. this is just such a nice ritualistic and flavourful device everything else has been shelved..
