Does the lid—where you can let the cap cool down—significantly muffle the "cooldown" click noise? I’m having a problem with my neighbors, who regularly complain that I’m smoking on the balcony below them. I’ve been vaping at low temperatures, blowing the vapor toward the floor, and only in small puffs instead of one big cloud at a time. During a conversation, they explicitly mentioned the clicking sound, and I think that when they hear it, it sets them off and makes them sniff around especially thoroughly. Hence the question: is the cooldown click much quieter with the case?

I've had the Tempest 2 and a Wand since last Black Friday. I only use it with zirconia balls. I've experimented with countless settings—the depth in the Wand, the temperature in the Wand (I know it's just a timer), as well as the airflow at the cap and the carb hole. No matter what I do, I can never get hits as flavorful as those from the first heat cycle with a Dynavap. The Tempest definitely hits harder, but it’s always been touted as a flavor beast, and I just can’t seem to get that out of it. Am I doing something wrong, or is it normal that it empties a bowl ultra-fast but the flavor is never as rich as with a Dynavap? I’d appreciate any help. I have a mix of 2.5 and 3 mm zirconia balls, in case that matters (I lost a few 3 mm ones, and at the time, my dealer only had the 2.5 mm balls available).
