Tempest Wood

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.

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. I hit up Brenyo and let him know what was going on anhe was more then willing and nice enough to give me a discount on the RG2. 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 RG@ or Tempest CU, don't trip. 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 x, y, and z. I have severe OCD and love to write down and record every single hit.
I'm over #300+ hits in with my black Tempest head in wood. I've easily ran at least 1 ounce, probably 2 though it at this point. It's one of my favorite vapes that I've ever owned. 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 on.
Thank you more than words can ever explain for this vape and reload combo, Brenyo <3 You're the m...

Tempest Wood

Quality of product and performance is stellar, I have not touched another vaporizer since this arrived. Since dialing in the induction heater I can extract any size bowl in one cycle. This works for both small sprinkles or fully (lightly) tamped packs.
Utilizing the reload along with the tempest keeps literally everything I need compact and portable.

Since this turned up a couple of weeks ago I have used nothing else, everyone is banging on about using the wand but I am using a butane torch. It hits like a truck. All my dynavaps are gathering dust, I love this thing.

Everything including the leather sleeve is wonderfully crafted. I am very happy to be able to purchase my first Tempest Wood. Looking forward to the next batch

I recently picked up a tempest with a wood sleeve and I absolutely love it. Its like the power of a ball vape in the palm of your hand. Stem does an amazing job cooling the vapor and there is no heat in it even after a few bowls. The stock beads hold so much heat and are great for longer seshes but can still put out some ball vape level clouds. I switched to the glass beads as I like a quicker extraction and it works very well, true one hit extraction in one massive tasty rip.

I was very surprised about the hauling behaviour on the Mouthpiece… Another advantage is the large combustion cylinder on the appliance… all in all very sadisfied(!)

I have been looking at various Vapes with an eye for purchasing for a while now. Desktop ball vapes, battery powered portable vapes - I considered many. Then I saw the Tempest.
I have used it with a butane torch and an Ispire Wand, personally I prefer the wand but both produce good effects. It takes a few cycles before you find what you like, lots of puffs of light cloud with plenty of flavour and second/third heat cycles or a big in-one, flavourful lungful. This device can do either or something in between, making it extremely versatile.
The downsides of this device are few but worth mentioning. It is a sturdy vape, but the threads holding the cap seem a little easy to cross-thread so be aware and don't overtighten. The Tip could have a slightly deeper section for the stem connection to eliminate flex which is most noticeable when using the Reload. It does require cleaning more regularly than some other vapes, but this is because it is so effective at what it does.
It does have a degree of complexity to it that could discourage some, particularly the servicing of the click-caps, but this is its design and personally I like being able to service and repair the things I own.
I am most pleased with this purchase and can honestly say that this is my go-to vape now. It is efficient and effective and the flavour is one of the best I have experienced from a Dry Herb Vaporizer.

Small enough to pocket and power that rivals a desktop... Consistent , thick, tasty clouds especially when paired with the wand... This thing is a beautiful beast. Although nice and cool vapor straight from the stem, it absolutely excels with a water piece.
