Adds a level of elegance to the tempest
Looks really nice. The indents on the regular heatshielded stem does grip the bowl better than the threads of the wood stem, but a minor issue.
A lovely alternative to the Tempest titanium sleeve. Well worth trying
Pros:
A Stainless steel lined sleeve, safer and easy cleaning than bare wood
O-rings tolerance and fit is excellent, not too loose not too tight on both end of the sleeve
Tempest and all Revolve stem compatibility
The wood is finely sanded, smooth hand feel
In case you don't have any, some wood care is included
Easy to find the airflow hole without looking at it
No woody taste in the vapor when in use
Best sleeve for temperature, wood never feel cold or warm to the touch
Best sleeve for spinning, and wood is the cooler temp sleeve near the heater tip, great for back-to-back bowls
No air leak when the airflow is closed
Cons:
No lazy cleaning with this one, you can't ISO soak it, just ISO Q-tip wipe the metal liner part inside and wax the outside wood part
It takes even longer to clean it if you use the Helix/DRC airflow tube (the inner side of the sleeve becomes a vapor-path) and if you tend to wait too much between cleaning
Not as sturdy as titanium, it can break or split
With the liner in SSteel, it doesn't beat the quartz or titanium sleeves for flavor, with the Helix/DRC airflow tube
My favorite sleeve with the Direct airflow tube and the Secondary Cooling Unit, I don't notice any flavor drop with this setting.
Never hot or cold near the heater, my sleeve of choice for torch heating or winter/summer use.
Every cleaning, about 20 bowls, I do a Q-tip ISO swabs to the SS liner, and give the wood part a Q-tip of wood conditioner on the outside, then a buffing.
Rosewood is half a gram lighter and Ebony seems more resinous, as it doesn't absorb much when conditioning it.
Torch users need the wood sleeve for consecutive heating, longer sessions, mainly for a comfortable hand position, when slowly spinning the device.
However, if you just go for one quick bowl then a break, the titanium sleeve will be enough and handle the heat.
Titanium cools quickly, a two minutes cooling time, with the Tempest Cap separated from the rest is also very effective.
Using the Tempest, Restricted Direct Lung draws are important for vapor production and keeping the stem at a cooler temp.
New Tempest users will tend to overheat any sleeve because they simply discover the heater and draw too much hot air.
Those overheating on the wood sleeve could be enough to over-dry the epoxy glue, between the wood and the SS liner. And as a consequence, make the wood spin or get a loose fit.
For Wand use and Helix/DRC airflow tube settings, the Tempest ti and the 12mm quartz sleeves are my pick.
Heavy users (>g/day) should connect the heater to a WPA and use a dry/water piece, to reduce dry throat effect from the convection and cleaning.
Tempest stem is a Revolve V3, here the compatibility chart:

I just love the wood stems so much cooler and looks great I have a couple so far. 💨💨
Great quality
As always excellent quality and excellent assistance, just now I was sent some o-rings that I broke in the Reload, I sent an email a couple of days ago to buy them, they sent them to me without even charging me for shipping, the best in the UK
Feels very good in hand. I got the ebony one and was very happy with the dark shade of the wood after waxing.
Great quality stem!
I'm a bit concerned about the threading messing up my o-rings, also there's no locking tabs for the tip.
Otherwise I prefer this stem as it doesn't get as hot as the metal one!
A lovely sleeve, feels nice and smooth but still grips well. Looks classy and doesn’t get too hot if doing back to back bowls.
