Tempest is built to last. Here's how to keep it that way.
The Tempest is designed for use with plant-based materials.
For smaller hits, extracts, or finer materials, the optional Titanium Filter fits between the two magnetic halves and helps prevent material from entering the labyrinth. The filter will accumulate residue with use and should be cleaned regularly.
The Tempest is made from aircraft-grade anodized aluminum. The anodized layer is not a coating. It's part of the metal itself, formed through an electrochemical process that hardens and seals the surface.
Light surface scratches from normal use are cosmetic and do not affect performance.
Deep gouges or abrasion damage that compromise the surface integrity of the bowl take the pipe outside the conditions it was designed and tested for. If your bowl has been deeply scratched or gouged, we recommend discontinuing use and contacting support.
The Tempest is designed for use with a standard lighter, match, or hemp wick.
Do not use a torch. High-heat sources such as torches are considered misuse and void warranty coverage.
Use isopropyl alcohol and a soft bristle brush. The Tempest splits magnetically so you can reach every surface.
What not to use
Avoid metal picks, wire brushes, knives, or any abrasive tool. These can scratch through the anodized surface and are considered improper cleaning under our warranty policy.
Do not put the Tempest in the dishwasher. High heat, harsh detergents, and long soak cycles can discolor the finish and may void warranty coverage.
