    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I'm still trying to understand how the new parts will withstand direct heat without losing it's magnetism.. the curie temp would need to be extremely high. Still glad I pounced on the beta regardless of color.. coming up on a year for this thread now too..

    The variety of airflows in this device are incredible but can lead to a learning curve that might take longer to discover and master. The heat though should outlast the deep bowl setting.. the height of the heat source on the cap might be a variable, there are times that the VI might react to...

    I geeked that there have been a decent number of improvements over my beta unit, excited to see the final run. I should add that, this is now my new elite employee.. bfr, its amazing, and doesnt take second place to any other unit I have. I dont even look at them save to remember if I cleaned...

    ~85 though that might depend if you have the 2.5mm or 3mm balls. Happened to me once, so my method of emptying the device adjusted.. i unscrew over something where i can recover the balls, as well a check the tightness of the screen every so often. Brenyo just had some extra screens and balls up...

    My green Temp has some light wear rings already, both around the heat shield and bowl. Some of the more frequent touch points are fading as well.. into a bronze/goldish hue. No biggie but, it's why I'm getting another (well played Brenyo 😋) either plain or black.. I prefer more subdued colors...

    To assist possibly; heat above the two lines on the head, closer to the VI, this will move the indicator a bit quicker, the lower you heat on the head the slower the VI is to react. This should give you a bit more control over the heat soak to avoid combustion. I cant get past the second notch...

    My ccd ball screen fell out the other day on a blanket in a couch.. fucking brutal.. stayed calm got 79 .. 6 fell on the carpet found 5 of those.. lost one. So i think I'll buy some for spares.. just one of those things, please check your ball screen to make sure it's tight. Could have been...

    Took delivery today.. I tried a few bowls, fried a few of them too, that was till I figured out the VI was getting stuck.. I've adjusted my technique with that knowledge.. cleaned her up and managed to get a good few. With that said is there anything I can do for the sticky VI? Could it be that...

    Sounds like it's worth it.. just gotta stay patient, but you early adopters are not making it easy, sheesh.. @Brenyo any word on the extra colors (gun metal/matte black dlc)

    volume of a sphere,, (4/3)*(pi*r^3) ... 2.5mm sphere has an r=1.25 and gives you a vol of = ~8.2 2.0mm sphere has an r=1 and gives you a vol of = ~4.2 90 zirc spheres in the head @ 2.5mm, so you would need approx double to meet the same volume. I was going to order 200 sic @ 2mm - I wanted...
