Mad Heaters Tempest 2 Slim Stainless Steel - Ball Head Vaporizer Without a Battery
The Mad Heaters Tempest 2 Slim is a mechanical herb vaporizer with no battery or electronics: heat the cap with a Torch lighter or an induction heater, and the ball-filled cap transfers its stored heat to the herb as you draw. This version is made of 316 stainless steel; a heat source is not included.
Ball head with around 40 quartz balls
The cap contains around 40 quartz balls, each 3 mm in diameter. They store heat and transfer it to the passing air, so the herb is heated primarily by convection. According to Mad Heaters, the head is designed to fully extract a load with a single heat-up. The balls are replaceable: if you want more heat retention, use, for example, Mad Heaters Tempest ruby balls.
Torch or induction instead of electronics
Without a battery, there’s nothing to charge and nothing that can wear out. Use the Torch lighter to heat the cap while slowly rotating it. An induction heater is more consistent: Mad Heaters lists the iSpire Wand and YLL 3.0 as compatible. Important: A Wand’s opening must be at least 14.0 mm wide. The cap will discolor over time near the induction sleeve - this is normal.
Indicator and click instead of a display
There is no temperature readout. Instead, an indicator and an audible click signal when the cap is hot enough. The first click usually comes at the lower end of the optimal range. Anyone familiar with DynaVap devices will quickly get the hang of it; anyone who expects numbers on a display will be better off with an electric Vaporizer.
Four filling settings from 0.05 to 0.2 g
Use the included tube to set the chamber screen to one of four positions: approximately 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, or 0.2 g. The smallest setting is new on the Slim. This lets you adjust the fill to suit whether you want a short session or a full chamber.
Airflow at two points
You adjust airflow at the cap and through an air inlet on the shaft. When drawing, mostly cover the inlet on the shaft so that air flows through the hot balls. The replaceable cooling unit in the shaft cools the vapor; the medium length is included.
Slim 316 stainless steel shaft
The Slim measures 122 × 14.5 mm and weighs 61 g in stainless steel. The heat shield is made of PPS plastic. It can be attached directly to a water pipe using a 10 mm water pipe adapter.
Tempest 2 Slim or Tempest 2
The cap and heating system are the same on both models; the manufacturer's replacement cap and chamber fit both. The Slim has a narrower shaft and the additional 0.05 g setting. However, the Tempest 2 mouthpiece, heat shield, and wooden sleeve do not fit the Slim.
Frequently asked questions about the Mad Heaters Tempest 2 Slim
Tap a question to expand the answer.
Do I need a lighter or an induction heater?
Yes. The Tempest 2 Slim has no built-in heating. A torch lighter or induction heater is not included.
Which induction heaters are approved?
Mad Heaters lists the iSpire Wand and YLL 3.0. The Wand's opening must be at least 14.0 mm wide.
How long does induction heating take?
According to the manufacturer, the stainless steel cap with quartz balls takes around 39–43 seconds at 80 W on the YLL 3.0; a cap that is still warm takes a little less time.
How much herb does it hold?
Depending on the screen position, approximately 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, or 0.2 g.
Do Tempest 2 parts fit?
The replacement cap and chamber, yes. The Tempest 2 mouthpiece, heat shield, and wooden sleeve do not fit the Slim.
How do I clean the Tempest 2 Slim?
For basic cleaning, soak the parts in isopropyl alcohol, rinse them with warm water, and dry them thoroughly. Then heat the cap once while empty to evaporate any residual moisture.
Our tip for practical use
Fill it with the herb, pressing it down only lightly, and screw on the cap gently. Draw long and slow while covering the air inlet on the stem. After your session, handle the hot cap only with a magnet or case – it stays hot for several minutes.
Conclusion
The Mad Heaters Tempest 2 Slim Stainless Steel combines a ball head for primarily convective heating with a slim 316 stainless steel stem and four filling levels. Ideal if you want to use a battery-free device with a torch or induction heater.
