User manual :

Spray with Tempest:

1. Unscrew the cap and fill the bowl by pushing it into your crushed plants, or by inhaling through the Tempest's mouthpiece (like a straw). Take care to keep the threads clean and preserve the airflow by not packing your plants too tightly.
2. Gently screw on the cap until it is completely closed, then start heating with a double or triple storm lighter or a compatible induction heater (IH).
3. When heating with a torch, keep the flame about 1 cm from the cap. Keep an eye on the visual indicator and gently turn the Tempest for even heating. The indicators react according to where you heat the heading, so use the ring marking as a reference point, with the default calibration set between the two rings.
   To preheat the bowl, heat slightly closer to it, but expect the indicators to react with a slight delay.
   For a more pronounced flavor at the start of a session, heat on the other side and expect a faster reaction from the indicators.
   If you're using an induction heater, use the Timer function or listen to the clicks. To change the heating location, adjust the insertion depth in your heater (see Using the Tempest with the Wand below).
4. Once the desired temperature has been reached, place your finger on the air release to manually regulate the airflow and inhale a large puff (or several smaller ones). Store the Tempest in a safe place, knowing that the cap can retain heat for a few minutes.

Heating medium :

We recommend using a smalldouble or triple flame storm lighter (with a large gas) or a compatible induction heater (such as the Wand).

Using the Tempest with the Wand:

After installing the adapter, press it gently with your Tempest until the top of the glass, marked by the arrow, is positioned between the area of the two red lines in the first image. We recommend adjusting it within the range marked on the cap in relation to the top of the glass to avoid heating too low or too high. Set it initially in the middle, as shown in the image.

Set the temperature to 300 ℃ (560 ℉) and leave it running until the message "Elapsed time appears.

For deeper roasting, increase the temperature setting in increments of 10 ℃ (10 ℉) or gently press the adapter down by 1 mm. For lighter roasting, lower the temperature setting or adjust the adapter upwards.

By adjusting the adapter more deeply, you can increase the conduction effect in the bowl, which is useful when extraction is uneven or the draw is slow to start. We recommend using the upper half of the two-line marking for indirect inhalation (MTL). If you adjust it higher so that the Wand's glass is closer to the lower red line, it will be even more convection-focused, which can further enhance flavor, however this can result in uneven vaporization if the bowl is packed too tightly.

Note that changes in ambient temperature or wind can affect the heading temperature. If there is a -10 ℃ difference in ambient temperature, consider increasing the Wand temperature setting by +15 ℃.

You can trim the silicone of the two-line adapter to better see the visual indicator from the bottom of the glass adapter.

Remove the cap when it is warm and tidy :

Use the leather case, the magnet of theReload or the tool under its cover (Reload Gen 2 only) to secure the cap for removal. Tilt rather than pull.

You can use the case to store the Tempest if the cape is still warm.

Airflow settings :

In Open or Bypass, you can regulate the amount of fresh air entering the stem by adjusting the Airpath Control Dial. You can also change the airflow by pressing the induction layer at a specific point and rotating the air holes in relation to the three visual indicators.

Rotating mouthpiece :

You can choose to block mouthpiece rotation (L) or not (S) by shifting the O-ring on the airflow tube.

Secondary Cooling Unit (URS) :

To install the URS (helical intercooler) for further cooling, remove the O-ring from the "rotation" position (S), push the URS into the tube, then replace the O-ring to hold it in place. If you wish to install the URS while locking the mouthpiece rotation, use a second small O-ring (5 x 1 mm) in the "lock" position(L).

Tempest anatomy (numbers refer to airflow turbine settings below)

Airflow tube options :

Helix tube - for cooling :

• Open : fresh air enters through the air intake (1) and heads for the center of the cooling unit (2) where it mixes with the steam. The cooled steam then flows into the spiral (3) to finally reach the mouthpiece (4).
• Bypass :Air is directed directly to the mouthpiece (4) for a breath of fresh air that bypasses the cooling spiral (3) entirely. In the meantime, the steam passes through said spiral (3).
• Closed :By closing the air intake (1), you remove the fresh air for optimal MTL draft (mouth-to-lung, from mouth to lungs). Perfect for dense clouds with sufficient cooling thanks to the spiral (3).

Tube Direct - for flavors and water filters:

• Open direct : fresh air is directed to the mouthpiece (4), adding freshness. Meanwhile, steam follows the central passageway (2) and combines with fresh air (1).
• Direct bypass : fresh air is drawn in through the air intake (1) and directed towards the spiral (3) where it mixes with the steam. The cooled steam then travels to the center (2) of the Tempest, then to the mouthpiece (4).
• Direct closed :AIR CALL (1) is closed to extract warm, full-flavoured steam directly from the center (2) then the mouthpiece (4). Ideal setting for MTL draught or with water filter.

Cleaning the Tempest:

Soak each part in a cleaning solution (such as isopropyl alcohol) for at least 1 hour, using a zip-lock bag, and shake periodically for thorough cleaning. Empty the solution, rinse the parts in hot water and allow them to dry completely before reassembling.

For quick cleaning, moisten a paper towel with the cleaning solution and 'unscrew' the spiral. To clean the remaining parts, use cotton buds.

Hold the radiator handle by the air hole when removing the bowl. To clean the beads inside the cap after removing them, you can use washing-up liquid in a small shot glass or plastic tube, leave overnight and shake until clean. You can considerably improve the cleaning effect by heating the liquid (by placing it in boiling water, for example), in which case isopropyl alcohol may also work. Alternatively, place some of the beads on a spoon and heat them with a blowtorch until they are clean.

Do not soak the wooden handle (if fitted) in a cleaning agent. Clean only the inner metal coating with a cotton bud or pipe cleaner. At first, be sure to clean very carefully the tip side of the metal coating where the grip lines / threads are located inside. Regularly apply a small amount of wax to the wood to prevent cracking and improve color.
