    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I did this too and my second showed up 2 weeks before my Tempest last November. I have not touched either Revolve mk2 since the tempest first hit my lips. I was actually annoyed I bought the second Revolve because I may never use it and just want another Tempest (or two!). As others have said...

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    Both of mine are titanium and I think the lighter weight is what allowed me to launch it with an attempted really fast spin. That was with the magnet!

    For real! I got too happy spinning it once and spun the top right off. Pure reaction had me reach and miraculously grab it mid air with the teeth pointing out 😬 I am much more restrained in my fidgety joy now

    Customs doesn't process those on the weekend so it'll probably sit there for a couple of business days before moving on. Soon for you!

    Oh man, that sucks! Hopefully you can get sorted soon. Very thankful you were able to finish mine, however!

    WOW you weren't kidding! This is hilarious to me because I never would have realized that. Looked good before but AWESOME now! Before & after pics below:

    OLD MATE (formerly Medgrind)

    My two Aroma-3s finally showed up today (woooo)! Ice blue anodized titanium is mine with the vintage AFC logo while the SS with the LFC logo is a late Christmas gift for my buddy. I have two Ti versions now and just waiting on the large version. Very noticeable difference in weight and...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    It's because I usually disassemble it when it's still warm to hot from my final bowl before putting it in an iso soak every few days. Pulling the bowl piece from the stem takes a significant amount of effort if you use something like saliva or water that will evaporate long before time to...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I rushed to share without getting some pics which sucks, but the space where I have the arrow drawn is where the fin was lower on once side from the bowl being bent. The two o rings on the bowl section just above the arrow inside the stem in that picture are what I was referring to lubricating...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I don't have pics because I panicked and went to work to fix it as soon as I realized, but I just wanted to say be careful connecting the bowl to the stem so you don't bend the connecting neck of the bowl! I've noticed sometimes the tempest cap would look uneven of I was spinning the Tempest...

    Huni Badger Pro

    https://www.hunibadger.com/New-Huni-Badger-Pro/Huni-Badger-Pro-Portable-Device-Black Webpages added, $250 price point which is less than I expected but still not cheap. Having used the original HB it is a solid (read: heavy) unit with a metal body so it feels quite durable and may help to...

    Stainless can't be color anodized so the only ones this would work for are titanium

    Vacuum sealing mason jars to extend life

    Good points... though everything boiling off assumes the vacuum space is a large enough volume to allow that much to boil away before full equilibrium, right? This is by no means an area of expertise and why I started the thread, but my initial understanding is the above. I'm storing in packed...

    Vacuum sealing mason jars to extend life

    I put it in an earlier message but only the moisture at the outermost layer will be affected. It will boil away until there is an equilibrium which isn't much but will cause the outside to feel dry. I was also under the impression equilibrium takes seconds vs days but I'm not exactly an expert...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    When I can't hear the balls shake is when I soak the cap. They look clean but clearly there is buildup. I do notice airflow improves as well.
