MEDICATED )))
I purchased a couple of units a couple months back, both are now dead. As I am an international customer and have no warranty, when each unit broke I pulled them down for inspection.
In both cases it has been where the wires connect to the ellement that has failed, but the only fix I can see is a new element.
Might pay for VXL to look into bolted terminals on the element or other options to increase reliability, in 2 months I have killed two unts with only moderate use (evening only).
If VXL are willing to sell me replacement glass tube/heater ass/temp sensor, this would be an easy fix for myself, I have already emailed SM and am waiting for a reply.
If they were willing to do this, I would continue to support them, otherwise I can not justify paying another $600 everytime a unit dies due to a flawed design.
Other then the reliability issues, this is by far the best vape I have ever used, I really hope I will be able to make use of my clouds again one day

Any official eta on that? (the intl version - the australian version if I can be a beggar and a chooser
I'd be happy with some wishy washy figures like "late" this year, "early" next year, even a "were not sure yet" would do me
That cord mod is incredible. It's true when the cloud turns off it maintains a vaping temp for a while. I have turned mine back on after a few mins off and the lights instantly went green. So I really dig that way of vaping by getting it up to temp, quick release cord and pass around....simply awesome!!
I'm gonna buy every single damn Cloud that has revisions or improvements!
I know this won't happen but I wish they would just have you send one in to see if they would diagnose it the same. I believe you man, I just had back to back heating failures. I'm not from an electrical background but even I figured it was a wire connecting to the heater or something like that.I'm sorry but I do not beleive this to be correct.
I see quite a number of failures within the USA that I would assume from reading reports is also down to failing heating elements.
I am from a technical and electrical background, I have tested all aspects of the units and the circuitry side of things is all still functional, a new element is all that is required for both units to become functional again.
Both units have only failed where the cables terminate onto the heating element with visual signs of heat stress at these points, yet again I would suggest looking into improving this single flaw.
I would be more then happy to purchase replacement glass tubes with heater and sensor fitted, or just the element. The element is design for the cloud, I haven't seen anything I could use as a replacement anywhere, this is why I want to purchase the parts off you, alternatively I would have to engineer a new element, I have enough going on as it is
Yeah man ... but you buy Cloud's like most people buy underwear!
It's really no different than VAS...just need to have the latest and most recent Cloud, and 4 isn't really that many in less than a year lol (you wouldnt believe how many solo's and extreme's i've owned!) I like supporting VX and I'm glad i've quelled my HT OCD aquisition syndrome lol
, hoping the wife will pick up some medication after work However, she is not enthused one bit by the new HT and cloud as opposed to me lol.
O that seems to be a good fit for the Cloud? does it have any weight to it? Or just a nice wide base? Is it a lot more stable?My current setup. HydraTree 2.0 with the Cloud in my cup holder base and silicone Bob Marley/Glow-in-the-Dark silicone wristband heat shield.
