Whoever designed the Tempest 2 ball retaining screen, F**K YOU!
I'm f**king tired of this stupid fucking screen and balls falling out every 5-6 bowls when I'm trying to unload my bowl. And then I need to sit there for 5-10 minutes picking the balls out of the weed in the reload, torching the balls back to normalcy and to prevent plant matter.
Shit becomes absolutely nuked/useless if this happens on the go too.
Oh and yes, I have 41-42 balls in there, have tried using every single kind of 2.5mm and 3mm ball in varying amounts, and have tried with the F facing both directions (doesn't make a difference). I've used 2-3 new screens but ever since the first time I decided to change the balls, the Tempest has been the most "FALL APART AND FUCK YOUR WHOLE DAY" vape I own.
So yeah, whoever designed the ballbusting screen for the Tempest 2, I wish you the worst, you absolute f**king moron.
PS if anyone has a fix that isn't already mentioned (use less/different balls, install flattened/new screen, face the F's in whichever direction), PLEASE share :)
