Wood Sleeve

Great quality stem!
I'm a bit concerned about the threading messing up my o-rings, also there's no locking tabs for the tip.
Otherwise I prefer this stem as it doesn't get as hot as the metal one!

I got Both Ebony and Rosewood, Love this wooden stem, the look is pure class, feels great in the hand, and holds the heat better, definitely my preferred stem over titanium. It could also be used in the Revolve Gen2 where i got a Ebony on the DLC Version.

Lovely addition to the Tempest, both aesthetically and functionally. Provides insulation that makes holding a Tempest far more comfortable when in use, insulating the heat within. This does of course, thanks to physics, consequently not cool down as fast inbetween bowls so cooling will slightly reduce on a back o back second bowl, but as the cooling is so good to start with, that's not a big issue. And it looks lovely too! Nice design that fits the Revolve and Tempest very well. And excellent value too.

Great must have for the Tempest. Did mean to order the Rosewood, but ordered the Ebony on accident. Not a huge fan of the look of the Ebony out of personal esthetic, really missing out on the woodgrain look. Mine kind of just looks like a black plastic sleeve.
