Tempest

I was lucky enough to get in on the initial beta drop on Oct 29th in a green-purple color that I absolutely am in love with. It is light, but solid, everything made with precision. My visual indicator is a bit off, but with trial and error I was able to dial in my sweet spot with the Wand and have left it there for the better part of a year. Though I have used it nearly every day since, I am still blown away by the versatility and utility of this magnificent chunk of my spirit metal (titanium).

I tend to more or less clear the bowl in one heat cycle and the flavor is absolutely outstanding! I can use it with the Wand in the middle of the day or in pitch darkness. When I do more than one heat cycle back to back with multiple bowls or I just took the first one slow, in really dark conditions the light from the Wand allows me to see the visual indicator and stop heating exactly where I want it. Mine may not be "accurate," but it's consistent and that is ALL that matters!

The Tempest has not let me down once and I HIGHLY recommend pairing it with a Reload Gen 2 (or more than one) and the Wand induction heater. It makes it dead simple and with how chaotic my life can be, I do not necessarily have time for the ritual of a torch (but the option is there!). It is such a natural pairing that I can confidently complete my entire session start to finish including loading and emptying the Tempest blindfolded. In less than 3 minutes. I imagine the same is true for many others with this combo. I can't do back to back sessions like that, though, because a reheat not from room temperature will require you monitor the visual indicator to know when to stop rather than let the Wand run to timeout on whatever your perfect initial heat cycle setting is.

This is a small device that is pretty but you wouldn't think too much about the insane cooling inside. It's never too hot for me and always comfortable. The first time I used it I didn't think I heated it enough because I didn't get anything only to exhale a pure flavor cloud that gave me the biggest grin! It is the only vape I ever really need again. It is an absolute marvel and I waited nearly 8 months to put this review because I wanted to honestly and confidently say this is borderline perfection. I don't believe there is any product out there that reaches perfection, but this tops the list of contenders and while I historically overspend on hardware and accessories, I have not purchased another flower vape since this touched my hands.

Get one. You will not regret it. But temper (hah) your expectations. It will not be some miracle face melter compared to other popular competitor products. But it is insanely fine-tuneable and does everything nigh perfect and with the stock sleeve has never gotten too hot for me to handle.

It's the best all around manual vape device ever created. Bravo

The Tempest is as good as, or better than, the hype describes. I used the MH instructions for the Wand (with the adapter) and have been floored by the results, 520-550F until it times out. Just to note, I have not used a torch with this yet. I have a vast collection of non-desktop DHVs and the Tempest is now my daily driver. The flavor and reliability of consistent OHE results gives me every reason to pick it up every day.

My cap doesn't have a click indicator (yet) with the beta version, but the VI seems to be well-calibrated even though it's not necessary with the wand. That said, I will use the VI when I want to try to squeeze a little more out of my flower with a short second heat, which I do about 50% of the time.

This device is truly a masterpiece in form and function. Pictured here is with the Rosewood stem and I can't think of a better device that packs this much performance, flavor, and beauty into a portable DHV.

The longer I use it, the more I notice subtle details that really point to how much thought was put into the engineering. I know this has been delayed way longer than anyone wants, but it will be obvious they did not want to rush it at all, in order to provide the precision they wanted. It was/is worth the wait. Well done.

Small learning curve like any new product. But once you get it down you can really play around with your options. My go to has just been no carb, full airway, 600 degrees with the ispire until it finishes the full cycle. Just set it in my water pipe and have a nice slow draw.

Cleaning is very simple with a pipe brush, nothing difficult to get to, its pretty intuitive with the break down.

Only small problem i deal with is the original sleeve can just get so hot. Wood sleeve is almost a must for some folks. I just got in to the habit of using this little leather strap to remove mine.

Really living this guy. Big clouds from the beginning to the end. The visual indicator is really neat. So many cooling options to play with a figure out. Mine came in half bowl setting and since getting it to full bowl its now my #1 go to. Now I just need a reload and wood sleeve and I'll be a happy camper, thanks MH.

A beautiful device, literally and figuratively!! (for a change! Lol), precision unique owners adjustable style? This is the one!!

Love this device, can't recommend highly enough. Gorgeous to look at in Titanium, the wooden stem elevates the look even more for me, the wood feels lovely as well and holds heat better. Performance is superb, excellent taste and big clouds, with lots of air flow options, i was lucky to get a fairly accurate visual indicator with my test kit so been child's play getting it dialled in (definitely read the instructions though, wand depth is all important), can use with torch or IH, and the ability to puff on it like a joint for pull after pull is unrivalled, top marks Mad Heaters

Anything made by madheaters is an automatic win and well engineered, no compromises.

Dyna who? Just kidding (mostly)

What needs to be said? Portable ball vape at the palm of your hands. Has replaced everything else I own. You won’t regret it. CS top notch as always.

Just an absolute joy to use.

Customer service excellent, pleasure to deal with. A+

As to the Tempest. Perfect in every way. Looks good, very well made and is a joy to use. With so many configurations possible hard to imagine how anyone would not enjoy using this device.

Works great with both a torch and the Wand.

Very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend Mad Heaters.
A+++
