Highlights
- Two-layer titanium core: A solid drop-in insert that takes the place of the loose extractor balls in the Tempest 2 head.
- Quicker maintenance: Two pieces come out in seconds - no chasing dozens of 3mm balls when unloading or cleaning.
- Grade 5 titanium: Same material as the Tempest 2 body, weighing just 3 g.
- Simple directional install: The wider opening on the larger section faces the indicator end; the smaller section fits either way.
- Keeps the convection character: The open spiral layers preserve the airflow path the Tempest 2 is known for.
- Tempest 2 only: Not compatible with the Tempest 1 or the upgraded V1.

- Tempest Heater Core (V2): Two-piece Grade 5 titanium insert for the Tempest 2 head.
Description
The Mad Heaters Tempest 2 Heater Core is a two-layer Grade 5 titanium insert that replaces the loose extractor balls inside the Tempest 2 head. It's one of the simplest vaporizer parts upgrades you can make if you want ball-vape performance with less fiddling.
Installation is straightforward: drop the two pieces into the head with the wider opening of the larger section facing the indicator end - the smaller section can face either way. At 3 g it works with the same induction or torch heating you already use on the Tempest 2, and it is not compatible with the Tempest 1.
FAQs
- What does the Heater Core do? It replaces the 3mm extractor balls in the Tempest 2 head with a solid two-layer titanium insert.
- Is it compatible with the Tempest 1? No. It only fits the Tempest 2 head.
- Which way does it install? The wider opening on the bigger section faces the indicator end; the small section can face either direction.
- Can I switch back to balls? Yes - remove the core and reload your balls whenever you like.
- Does it work with induction heaters? Yes, the core heats within the head using the same induction or torch workflow as a standard ball load.
- How do I clean it? Remove the two pieces and soak them in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse and dry - the same routine as other titanium parts.
- What is it made of? Grade 5 titanium, weighing about 3 g.

- Ball vape: A vaporizer style that heats a matrix of small balls to deliver smooth, even convection heat - the Tempest 2 works this way.
- Heater core: A machined insert that plays the same role as the balls: it stores heat and transfers it to the air you draw through the device.
- Why swap? A two-piece core is much easier to remove and clean than dozens of loose balls.
- Induction heating: A way of heating the head with an electromagnetic coil instead of a flame - the core is fully compatible.
- Grade 5 titanium: A strong, heat-tolerant alloy commonly used in high-end vaporizers.
