Tempest 2

I don't write and big review. The others said it all.
I. Love. This. Device. (T2)
Need to buy T1 somewhere just to complete collection.

The Tempest V1 is the device which finally got me to fully make the switch. The only device which didn't leave me wanting more. Very cool design, very well excecuted and easily capable of OHE, though not without its learning curve. Once mastered this device was untouchable by anything else in the market for some time.
When the images of the V2 showed up online I was initially disappointed with the design versus my beloved, sleek, raw engineered looking V1.
The V2 looked bloated and heavy and was a departure from the cool Tempest I already owned..
It appeared that MAD had gone.. well, a little bit off course..

There was no way I wasn't getting one though, and I duly logged on at launch for a shot at the full Ti model which this review is based on.

I was wrong.
MAD hadn't gone mad at all. They had listened to the feedback on the V1 and acted on it.
Far from being ugly, this device is beautiful. It's well proportiined and formed and its ergonomic shape nestles into your hand and just feels 'right'. The improved head airflow, allows you to pull a LOT of heat through at once. The stem can just about handle back to back hits setup like this, but I'd recommend using water for additional vapour cooling if this is your preference.
Dialed back a touch and combined with the adjustable stem airflow, the Tempest V2 holds its heat long enough for 4 deep, full lung fulls and leaves the V.B. a rich and even 'coffee grounds' colour.

Whereas the Revolve stem of the V1 with its huge surface area in the vapour path would prove to cool brilliantly, and quickly gather a lot of 'reclaim' the simplified V2 vapour pathway does not gather as much of the amber treacle, and as such requires cleaning less frequently.

Maybe its because I already had the V1 but the V2 has a shorter learning curve. It's a little more forgiving in my experience and creates more vapour which is more potent than its predecessor.

My V1 has effectively been shelved. (Though she does come out one special occasions)

At £179 the Aluminium V2 is imo the best value for money DHV or TED on the market.
Paired with a Wand and a Reload2 this really is the endgame setup for 2025.

Thanks @Brenyo

The Mad Heaters Tempest 2 stands out as a true game-changer in the world of vaporizers, delivering an experience that's both deeply satisfying and incredibly versatile. From the moment you pick it up, the high-quality finishes of the Titanium, Midnight Blue, and Black Wood sleeves are immediately apparent, showcasing a beautiful aesthetic and a premium feel in hand. But the beauty is far from skin deep. The Tempest 2 excels in its core function, providing amazing airflow that contributes to an exceptional vaping experience. This device truly lives up to its promise of clouds for days, easily producing dense, satisfying vapor that's rich in flavor.

One of the most significant advancements in the Tempest 2 lies in its thoughtful design improvements. The new screens are a huge improvement, making the device even easier to use and maintain. While the new cooling coil does introduce a slight restriction in airflow, the trade-off is well worth it, as it provides additional cooling for a smoother draw, especially during longer sessions. The ruby balls further enhances the overall vapor quality, quickly becoming a favorite feature. When paired with the Ispire Wand for heating, the Tempest 2 becomes a seamless and incredibly effective system, delivering consistent and potent hits.

The Tempest 2 isn't just about raw performance; it's also about a refined user experience. Disassembling and reassembling the device feels like a testament to superb engineering, making cleaning and maintenance a breeze. Whether you're an experienced vaper or new to the scene, the Tempest 2 offers a level of versatility and ease of use that's hard to match. Its ability to deliver a ball vape-like experience in a portable form factor, coupled with its consistent performance across various materials, makes it an indispensable unit for many.

Mad Heaters has truly outdone themselves, creating a device that not only meets but exceeds expectations, making it a strong contender for a permanent spot in any vaper's rotation.

Beautiful to look at, feels great in the hand, easy to use with the wand, easy to clean, and feels superbly engineered when taking apart and putting together. Vapour tastes great and has a lovely soft, full texture. The small bowl setting (0.1g) gets me way higher than a full-bowl dynavap! I've never had a high heat capacity hot stick style TED before but this was easy to use even for a beginner like me. Will be getting a reload in the near future too.

The only two complaints I had with my t1 was the bowl screen and ball retaining screen. Mad heaters changed both for the better. Ball screen is easier to insert and bowl screen is alot more durable than the old. They have also simplified the mouth piece and inner cooler. Cleaning took alot less time.

Its an amazing and recommended device. Have way too many portable and desktop vapes (14 years with vapes) but I am glad I went for this one. Is simply great and became a very important, if not the most important, unit in my rotation. Being you an experienced vaper or a newcomer you simply can't go wrong with this one especially if coupled with the unexpensive Wand. MH costumer support and attention to detail is second to none.

If you demand high quality, and high quantity vapour this vapes for you! Huge clouds! Intense hit! Full taste! It can deliver many hits from one heat cycle or one or two when ripped hard like on glass. Flower, hash, Concentrates are all good friends with this device with a little hemp wool etc. A ball vape in my pocket! Best paired with the ispire wand for ease of use!

Very consistent and smooth, easier to heat with the new indicators and easier to clean in my experience. Very happy I made the purchase, one of two daily drivers I keep.

Definitely an improvement over the V1, though the V1 was amazing too. I’m liking the slightly increased airflow (that you can no lock into place on both the head and stem), the bigger bowl, and the new stem. Stays a little cooler for those who like to do reheats like me. The built in 18/14/10mm WPA is awesome. No more adapters needed for some glass pieces. And I just love the aesthetics, personally. Looks and feels futuristic. If I was forced to make a complaint, I would say the head gets micro scratches pretty easily, but it’s not something that bothers me at all, and they can be buffed out if you really feel the need to. Great job on the V2, Mad Heaters!

This vaporiser is the best marjiuana intake device I've ever used. Durable, easy to clean, easy to maintain. Incredible design! The biggest clouds with the least effect. Absolutely worth the money.
