http://www.vapornation.com/vapexhale-screens.html free shipping There is a FC discount code but i couldn't make it work.
Good to know somebody has 'em in stock. FC11 is the coupon code and it works for me.

I think most of us got ELB's I know i got 3.
That's good to know too, since you gotta have at least one. I was going by the post on page 2 -

I just talked to the seller, and these DO NOT include ELBs. So unfortunately they will not arrive ready to play

I have but was not paying attention to the elb's to be honest
Thanks
If you buy one I'd get a 4 pack of elb's from Vapornation anyway. You'll need 'em sooner or later and you can't beat $17.79 delivered.

@SSVUN~YAH is his team doing that bad?

Edit: I'd also like to say that currently this is my favorite thread. Especially this morning, it has been brightening my extra annoying work day
Actually no it's above .500 and in a dogfight with stu, jds, pickz, and mynameismud for the final playoff spots. I'm just doing my daily FFL smack talk.

Is there a FC league going? If so that is awesome. Such a fun group. I can't wait to go home and rip my cloud.

On that note. Anyone have one of these? http://www.pipesdaddy.com/mobile/Product.aspx?id=39078

Been thinking about getting. Or any opinions on pipes daddy.

All my days in a daze...
Just an FYI for anyone needing ELBs. I ordered some from vapor nation on Tuesday and received an email on Thursday that they were unexpectedly out and would have some in next week. They offered to bump me up to priority shipping at no charge.

I just got one of these today. It didn't come with any ELB. Also, the gong seems like it is not wide enough to work properly. When I connect the mouthpiece, or any of my other 18mm pieces, it seems slightly loose. I am assuming this is not normal. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I send it back? I am going to wait until I can test it with an ELB on Monday, but I am not optimistic.

It's supposed to be slightly loose. It makes a seal, but wiggles to allow it to be removed easily.

Just to be certain though, put the Cloud into a water piece, and hold your hand over the bottom of the bamboo(glass airpath) sealing it. You should be able to feel the suction, and tell that no air is leaking around the GONG joint. To quote the creator of the device (the real Cloud's creator hahaha) "RE - wiggly male joint, this has been covered before but the wiggle is intentional. The previous versions of the Cloud would get stuck to the HydraTube if someone used to much force when joining them together. It made pulling the pieces apart extremely difficult. We decided to shave down a side so that when the Cloud is full inserted, it would still make an airtight seal but allows for a slight wiggle so it would be easy to decouple. That is not to say that if you pushed both joints together, they wouldn't stick, but the possibility of that is now greatly reduced."

Edit* Another thing to consider, @poke; The bamboo on your unit may be too low to create a proper seal. The bamboo allows some adjustment by design, and therefore it could be pushed down so low that it is not sticking out enough to fit all the way into your water piece's joint. If when you insert your Cloud into your waterpiece, the metal of the Cloud (where it says HOT) hits the glass piece, the bamboo needs to be adjusted.

If however, the joint can be fully inserted without the metal touching the glass, and it makes a seal via the test I posted above, then you are all set. If you need to adjust it, here is how:

The glass bamboo is kind of adjustable. It is meant to move just a little so it doesn't do what it's doing now, hitting the table. Hold the Cloud in one hand, and firmly, but carefully, push the bamboo up with the palm of your hand, just a little bit. If it's actually just really really close to the table, you don't need to adjust it, but I personally like it a little ways away from the table.

It seems you are right. I raised the bamboo, and it seems much better. Thanks.

I want to rip this thing now, though! Has anyone constructed an ELB from screens? I made one, but I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on how to make one.

Glad you got it squared away! My post earlier in this thread details a method for making a bowl with parts from an ELB and an EQ screen, but I think you need something more like Vtac's All Glass Bowl...(quoted below...expand it for the pics!)
You can rig something up using an appropriately shaped adapter (18 to 14, carbon filter, etc.) and a glass screen. I've done it a few times for fun. It works, but is inconvenient and messy compared to the ELB with little appreciable benefit in taste. YMMV of course. I'm sure we will see some better thought out methods eventually.

While waiting for my ELB's I've had really good success with an EQ Elbow screen and a 1/2" pipe screen. I didn't care much for it when I tried using 2 EQ elbow screens, it was too wispy. Now I get 4 thick solid hits and vapor starts immediately. The 1/2" screen is perfect size and just fits in the lip of the EQ dome screen. It's a little bit of a pain to get the lid back off the elbow screen when you're done but I have a LSV metal poker that works perfectly for that.

@poke: Check out this post of mine from last May (there's a couple of videos demonstrating the loose GonG fit): <LINK>

(I originally thought that the Cloud+ I received as a replacement for my failed OG Cloud was defective because of the loose GonG fit. What I didn't realize then was the Cloud+ needed to be run at 2:00 or 3:00 to equal the 12:00 setting on the failed OG. I'm happily still using the Cloud+ to this day, "wobble" and all. :tup:)

I tried to get the seller the cancel my order (sent multiple messages) but instead of a message back I got an unpaid case opened against me, just figured I'd let you guys know. Not a great first ebay experience I must say. I hope all you guys who did decide to get one got a good and working one.

Hey guys this is my first post! I have been reading here for over a year now but finally now deciding to get in the discussion.

I bought one of these cloud+ units and it arrived today. As I was unboxing I noticed a plug I have never seen before. The end looks like the photo seen here:

Did he send me a european/asian unit 250v unit instead or am I REALLY high right now?

By the way I'm in Canada
