Tempest 2 Problem

Hello all,

Bought my Tempest 2 bundle pack 6 months ago almost now.
Has changed the game for me and really helping me cut down the combustion.

When I get good flower, I'm super excited to see how it taste/hits from the T2.
Love everything about the bundle. The Induction Heater, Case and Reload. All pure excellence in terms of thought process and build quality. You can tell they're all made by the same company. Lovely bits of kit.

I recently got my hands on some Medical Static Hash. Put it at the top of the bowl with flower underneath. I'm scared some leaked into the cap/balls. I'm getting a horrible/revolting burnt Popcorn taste like you're vaping black AVB.

I've changed the ruby balls for the standard ones, disassembled the entire T2 and soaked in alcohol and washed with soap. Scrubbed with wire brushes. Used a new cooling unit and used replacement screens for bowl and balls.

Nothing is taking away this burnt taste. I've disassembled the indicator at the top and cleaned/alcohol soaked that but still nothing. There's still this burnt taste i'm getting.

I dry hit the stem with the cap/head removed and no flower in the bowl. I get the burnt popcorn taste. The stem is spotless. There's no resin or tar build up or anything visible. I'm at the point where I want to buy a new Stem or a new Cap to eliminate what is causing this horrible taste. Hasn't happened before in 6 months. Only thing changed was me trying the Static in it that ONE time.

Device also feels super clogged and not producing enough vapor with both cap and stem airholes closed fully shut.

Any help? Apologies for long post.
