**Questions and things to find out over time:**
- 0.25g bowl — efficient for a single heat cycle, or does it typically need multiple heats?
- This vape has no case. Will that significantly hold it back?
- This vape was made primarily for torches. How well does it work with an induction heater?
- Which induction heaters fit the cap geometry?
- How does it compare to the Tempest 2 at this price point?
