Just recieved my white SSV and fired her up. GREAT! A lot better than my old POS V-Tower which I think was defective. I got a blemished model from 7th floor and received the Spherical Ground Glass connector and wand and a bag with my order! Pics incoming!

Scooter: Thank you, I follow your recommendations and I think it's better.
I remain generally 12h and then passes on 13H to finish on the latest inspirations, for me 13h is the maximum.
I am just starting to get used to puff and less tense, more relaxed, less I cough too. I'll get the thread Vt? on cleaning. Yes thank you for your advice is cool.
Max: Yes indeed I begin to know what you're exposed. There was indeed a "stone" reinforced by tobacco. I think we need an adjustment period. I admit that I still have the habit of smoking, even if it is much less than before, because I can not be satisfied. But I intend to stop smoking completely in the coming days. It is a health choice, even if it will be difficult as I had used combustion for years. I think for the control of its effect, use only the vaporisation should help a lot. Thank you for your other advice.
I still have this problem of irregularity of the power of my hits sometimes I have almost no effect without being able to explain why. Yet the amount is the same. Is this normal sensation among new users? :/
In any case it's all about my first impressions of vaporization in general.
Regarding the model, I am satisfied with this Silver Surfer. Even if I find a bit expensive (220 euros), it works really well and is very intuitive. The materials seem to be of good quality. It really looks nice, almost a toy salon (I have the model with the base red chrome). I do not regret so far.

I just got an SSV and love it, however I had a minor question involving the spherical ground glass wand mine came with. On the inside of it, right inside where you hold it to the heating element, i've noticed some black lines following the circular shape, but less than a quarter of the circle in length. I have no idea what this could be, and I assume its nothing to worry about, but I was just wondering if it was anything I should be concerned with.
Also, some plant crumbs blowback got stuck in the tiny crack between the heating elements base and where it sits into the center of the device, I brushed what I could out with my MFLB brush, but there was a tiny line of stuff pushed in and but its nothing to worry about. I wonder if it will affect shipping in the device if it needs repairs..

The HC (heater cover) comes out without trouble. and that can be cleaned
be sure unit is unplugged and cold... then slide HC off to clean.
Pay attention to that metal sleeve under the HC as you remove, so that you let it slide back in same position when rep[laced.
This does not really need to be done unless you obsess about the dust.. it won't make you trouble.

Just yesterday I cleaned my GonG. It was giving such clean tasty vapor. Then I went and loaded it with kief,no more clean glass.
I think a new set of GonG would be nice. Then I could have one always clean for my Diesel strains and one for kief and such.

My GG works way better than my standard. I think the middle hole is way too large on my standard HC. The new one I bought and they gave me is shitty and BARELY fits. oh well.

here for the chicks
Some wands don't work as good as others because the bowl part on them is a little longer so the product sits further away from the heat source. You can either put in an extra domed screen or simply put in more herb to compensate if that's the case.

Thank you friend, but I think u might have answered youraveragebestfriends question. But yea, I agree. When I want a powerful hit, i turn my knob to 1 o clock, and let it heat for a good 3-4 min. and then i inhale slowly, for mayb 15 to 20 sec. ususally, the slower u inhale, the better the hits. I also fill the wand up to 1/4 of an inch.dirtpie said:
The gg connection works better for me than the standard connection. Like theagony said, its because the bowl part is shorter than that of the standard. But Im still able to get great quality hits with the standard setup.
Hey, so how do u guys clean your vt's. Is it the same like any other vapor related equipment? Also, Im just curious as to what might happen if I havent been sucking out the moisture from my saturn after i use it. Im guessing that theres frost/ice buildup in the tube. If thats the case, should I let the vt defrost, and then suck out the mositure in the tubes?

After one week, I use it better.
Sometimes i use the inspiration then 20% expiration then inspiration... It works.
Generally i put the knob at 12H then finish it at 13h.
The hits are more constant. It is clear that without combustion, the morning, before going to work is more "challenging" without the side stone. It's a different effect, I smoke a lot for 13 years and it's amazing to discover the effect of this plant. Sometimes the knock-out of combustion miss me, it's why i have difficulties to stop totally combustion.
I did not dare use of brown material because the one available here is suspicious. I'm afraid to absorb through the spray. What do you think?
For cleaning, I use water. I was able to recover the resin and roll into a ball.
And then just soap with a good rinsing. It was clean. Moist danger?
I made a habit of smoking residues because they make me the effect.
In the place where I live it costs 13$/g
.
Is there are other methods of recycling? The oil seems complicated and mix with alcohol should not be very healthy. And i really want to stop totaly combustion stuffs.
I agree that size bowls story. I use small amounts (0.20 g), and I think the standard bowl is a little too big for everything to be used effectively. GG what might interest me.
I already changed the screen once. I found that residues stopping up.
Thank you for the advices which help me at the beginning.

Cheers, glad things are working out.
scooter, it's not gonna hurt anything if you don't suck out that moisture but it will keep your Saturn a little cleaner I think. It's more important with the originals because they clog with frost if you don't do it. I clean my Vapor Tamers with some ISO, 91%. Just swish a little back and forth and use a q-tip or rolled paper towel to get the stubborn stuff where the vapor enters :-).
And for your ABV, edibles are a good way to go, though I made a batch of Golden Dragon that rocked!!!
I don't have a problem with alcohol reclaiming, but I don't know how healthy or unhealthy it is. Some research is in order but not for me!
As for bowl size, I'm guessing you have a standard set-up. I once AGAIN will recommend the Vapor Brothers mini wand. It's on sale till the 31st and it rocks. http://www.vaporwarehouse.com/mini_whip_handpiece.html
Happy Vaping!!

thx cluffy, i started sucking out the moisture from the saturn. I wasnt sure if there would b frost build up in the saturns tube. But it cant hurt to do it after every vape sesh.
Your Avg best friend: I agree with using the mini wands. It has a smaller bowl, and it will be cheaper than buying a gg wand AND a gg heater cover. Those together willl run u about 50 bucks, where as the mini wand is only 11, 12 bucks and u can use it with ur standard heater cover. I havent gotten a chance to use one yet, but now that theyre finally in stock, and on sale, I have no excuse not to get one.

But what these stories of moisture, can you explain? I saw that the water filter is also "Moisturizer". 
For now I clean with soap, it is not enough?
You really feel the difference by using a vapor tamer? It is less aggressive for the throat and lungs? I cough a lot ... but I think it's a matter of practice. The second tuff is often fatal for me
I did not know it needs also a gg heater cover ... yes indeed it's getting a lot ... I wonder if the use of small amounts (0.20 g) by economic neccessities also requires a so large investment paradoxically... Do you think it's worth it? The use of small quantities it is the primary motivation of people adapting their installation for a gg? It is true that at the end of the vapirization, the grass while yellow is still usable, that's why I smoke it and that's the problem, it makes no sense with the process.
I I'll see if it is possible to order the mini wand from Belgium.
But I confess that for the moment the team of 7th floor seems to be using healthy quality materials and I do not know anything about the materials used by Vapor Brothers...
I had two burnouts that I could not really explain. Shitty stuffs. :ma
Brown material is black market Resin Hasch that you can find in the street here. It's bad quality, often cut with crap. These are the charms of prohibition! I do not know if you have this kind of product at home. Usually it comes from Morocco. Many people smoke it here because it's easy to find and cheaper than the grass that has a crazy price. But it's obviously very harmful. But the government prefers to let people poisoned theirself. I dare not vaporize it because I fear that the process of vaporization make me absorb more cut products that the combustion and i don't want to damage the glass o my ssv with hasch. Anyway i think I will stop that shit at the same time that the combustion.
Ok edibiles seems to be the better way to recycle
Excuse my english, not my native langage, so it's harder for me to make me understand. Thank you for your patience.

@ SF Giant: That is odd, did you try upping the temp a little bit? I load the mini about 1/2 way and get 6 - 10 monster hits from it.
@YourAverageBestFriend: The moisture we're talking about is from the 7th Floor Vapor Tamers, glycerin filled glass that you freeze and then suck the vapor through to cool it. But you are likely talking about vaporizing through water, which is also nice, plus it filters out particles that you might otherwise inhale. You can use any waterpipe that you can connect the SSV hose to.
The brown material sounds nasty, there's none of that around me, but I'm sure something like it is available in the US somewhere. I don't know whether vaping it would be any worse than smoking it.
You don't have to clean your SSV whip THAT often, I like to let the wand build up a nice coat of wand hash before I clean everything up. That stuff that builds up is like GOLD!! :-) After you scrape out what you can of the wand hash alcohol is the easiest way to get the rest of it out. The hose is another matter, I use alcohol then soap and water but some people have concerns about alcohol and plastic materials. You'll have to use your own research and judgement. There's a tube cleaning thread here: http://www.fuckcombustion.com/viewtopic.php?id=301&p=1
Yes you can vaporize hash, it's best to put it on a layer of herb or ABV so it doesn't melt through the screen. And the Vapor Bros part is just a glass wand, no worries there. I'm not sure Vaporwarehouse ships internationally though.
I hope this helps, I'm all hungover and vaked so I don't know why I tried to make this post but I did and it is what it is.
CHEERS!!!

Just ordered the mini whip from vapor bros with a stainless steel pick. Thanks Cluffy for posting that info.
Just got back from my daily dispensary trip, picked up 1.5oz's for 180$ and it's all top quality: Hank OG, Bubba Skunk and some LA Confidential, I love Colorado. Lived in North Carolina my whole life, finally made the move and so far it's working out, now I just need to find a job, ha ha.

It's hard to choose a Water Filter Cooler Moisturizer on the site.

I actually bought Ice Chamber 51Your average best friend said:It's hard to choose a Water Filter Cooler Moisturizer on the site.

It works great as a reg waterpipe, and as a water filter for my ssv. U can put ice cubes in at the top of this piece, and it has the percs in the center as well. Its not a name brand piece of glass, but I gotta say that 7th floors glass is solid and well -made. I dont know much about the other waterfilters, but the ice chambers r also a nice option. It really does make the hits ALOT smoother and gives it a nice taste as well.

Han ok. In my head i was speaking about these kind of stuffs:
http://silversurfervap.com/glass/wcfm/water-filter-cooler-moisturizer-93-straight-6-percolator.html
It's not the same thing?
Is the natural vape of the SSV dangerous for the lungs? It needs to be cooled to be totally safe for throat and lungs? There are some of my worries.
SSV everyday these times, begin to feel the difference without combustion.

Wow Your average best friend, I never even checked those percs out! That's a pretty good deal considering they come with a sherlock mouthpiece!!!
To answer your question though, anything you inhale into your lungs besides air is potentially dangerous. If you search for sore throat (I'm just assuming that if it irritates your throat it's probably not helping your lungs) on FC you'll find 5 pages of posts. I'd say that's not a whole lot considering the number of people here. You've already discovered that you feel better without combustion, that should tell you something. :-)
You've probably noticed that the SSV hose collects lots of particles but not all of them, that sweet little percolater should take care of any strays that make it through!!! I would be buying one in a second if my financial situation was a little better!!! And yes, it is the same idea as the bongs you've seen, if not better!
I'll venture to say that water filtration most likely makes vapor "healthier" but it definitely makes it more enjoyable and comfortable for the user. Most folks here would agree I think.
