Yo that is really nice. I've looked at his stems before and wondered how the acrylic mix would hold up to the heat. Love the colors on the stem with the tempest.
The ball screen you may have to get off mh site. If you still have it I saw a video you can smash it down with a glass or soda can Maybe. I got glass 3mm off vgoodies. They have zrc also and are running a 420 sale. Super fast shipping.
What I'm saying is twisting the tempest head or changing the mouthpiece isn't going to change your high. Putting it in full bowl and finishing it in 1 heat up might.
Idk I personally don't think convection vs conduction are going to give you that much of different highs. Either way it's just thc and terps getting absorbed into your lungs. Maybe try different strains.
I was using mine with stock 3mm zrc at 600f and I've found over the last week with 3mm boro 500f-510f my sweet spot. Even at like 550f I was scorching the top of the bowl, sometimes coming really close to combustion.
I just got my factory second reload in purple and the thing is perfect. I see nothing that would make it a 2nd, so thanks for that! Also the decapper underneath the lid blew my mind. Seems safer opening the lid and using the underside rather than the top to take the head off. Been using the 3mm...
So I've been messing with the 3mm boro, and for me I had to turn the wand almost back to 550. Still tasted burnt on the first pull. Definitely like the zrc more ATM. Boro may be better for half bowl 1 and done with a quicker heat up time just IMO.
I just took my stock zrc balls out to clean and put 3mm boro in. I turned the wand down from 600 to like 580 and combust 1st pull. Don't think I've combust once with the stock balls even at 600. I'm pretty sure my zrc are 3mm not 2.5, there seemed to be roughly 45. The boro Def made me cough...
Thanks for the info. And I have been checking the site daily and for whatever reason purple factory seconds were available today but not yesterday. Anywho, I have a purple reload and ebony sleeve ordered to go with my purple tempest!
