FakeXhale Cloud (Unauthorized and Unsupported)

Let me clarify what I mean by restricting the airpath. I'm not talking about inhaling slower. I put my finger over most of the bottom of the bamboo and while doing that inhale much stronger so that I'm still pulling a huge rip. This seems to change the vapor quality somehow, although perhaps not as much as I originally thought. More testing is required.

Has anyone contacted Team Heater to see if they plan on selling more of the FakeXhales? There was at least ~1100 units left when the auction was closed.

Not that I know. I was thinking about it. Not sure if I'd buy from them if not from an online marketplace though where they're liable for my product unless/until it's shipped.

He email me back when he was selling them and told me he only had 350, with a big chunk of them for the foreign market, I'm guessing a different voltage plug. It all makes sense because he stop selling around the 200 plus mark.

That's in line with the inventory he quoted me. 200 foreign and 150 domestic units. Of course, I'm still waiting to get mine back from them after sending it in as DOA unit. My one hope is that if they fix the unit I sent in, it will probably get a lot better QC check than it did the first time.

Update: I explained what happened and how my cloud was broken due to a n00b somehow forgetting that you inhale not exhale on the hydrotube. I messaged him the same day I received it with the bad news (I only got to try it 2 times before it was broken). So an out of warranty/no returns ebay deal, where I admitted to physically damaging it. I asked if there was anyway to send me the part. The verdict? They are sending me a new heater/bamboo all for free.

Really nice IMO, someone said at least it was only $100 but TBH money is not something I can afford to waste.

I asked team heater if I could buy another cloud+ a few days ago. I got no response.

Anyone else been using their fakexhale at full blast? I can't seem to get my abv to go passed light tan even on full heat. I'm only working with mini elbs atm and I've tried restricting the air intake which helps a bit. Maybe my unit just runs cold ... or maybe I'm about to burn it out :p

I find mine works best at 3pm and then I turn it all the way up to kill it and when I'm done the abv looks almost like evenly dark brown coffee grounds! But at noon it sucks imo, and isn't that the recommended setting from VapeXhale in these units? Or actually, I think the pluses don't run quite as hot as the OG Ticker/Non Ticker. But either way, at full blast u should be getting dark abv. Maybe try hitting it harder. And try some real ELB's and if still no luck, I'd contact Team Heater! Hope this helps!

one of the things i tell everyone when they hit the cloud is to rip it as hard as possible, that rush of hot air over the herb makes massive amounts of vapor.. :mmmm:delicious vapor (i just realised out of all these fancy smilies, we don't have a cloud of vapor. :huh::ugh::doh::rofl::2c:)
now how to make a cloud of vapor smiley, or more properly

i run mine at 2:00 no higher, no lower. my "HOT" plate (after a 20 min heatup time i always do) gets to the point where i can leave my finger on it but not for more that 8 seconds before i have to pull away. i get an uneven ABV cooking but it is all brown. just some parts of the brown are lighter than others. i get thick clouds so i know its doing its job.

I use mine at 3:00 at least once a day.

I do not get the best results with my Mini-ELB... I find the regular ELB works superbly with small amounts as well as large loads.

EDIT: I get DARK brown AVB at 3. The mark between Noon and 3 is my sweet spot. Prolonged vapor production, and taste.

My unit basically stays at 3:00. I get dark brown ABV that is a bit uneven if I don't stir. I think you will have better luck with a standard elb.

Has anyone had a DOA unit and returned it for a functioning unit?
Trying to get a response can be very difficult from the ebay seller...
I got two units and one was a gift. One came scratched, with the light not as bright and it didn't seem to get as hot when I checked it, so he agreed to have them put a new enclosure on it for me, and check out the light in it, and retest the temps for me, so he sent me a label and I sent it back out asking him to please try to have it back b4 Christmas, and I just got a UPS notice that it'll be redelivered 2moro already and it just got delivered back to them on Monday! So as long as they did what they were supposed to do, I'm very happy with the service I've received from them!! It's actually great customer service imo! But he definitely WAS slacking in getting back to me at first. As soon as I mentioned that if I didn't hear from them soon I was gonna open a case with eBay, they got right back to me and have been great ever since! And they were very prompt at first with me too. I think we just swarmed them with way more orders than their used to handling, so they got way behind!! Bcuz other than that gap in communication, I'm very happy and would even buy another for backup if I had the chance! Hope this helps ya.

^I don't think so.

I leave mine at 3 o'clock and get a nice medium dark abv after several pulls through my chandelier. I use elbs and if they're full then sometimes the abv at the top is not as cooked as the abv at the bottom. I don't stir though. If I leave it on for an hour or so, the hotplate at the top gets too hot to touch for even a second.

Just received my f-cloud AND the VB Chandelier (via consolidated shipping) here in India. Opened the box to a lot of disappointments :(

No ELBs!!! I had asked him to add them and he still didnt :(

The device was badly assembled. One of the side screws went in crooked and the metal body inside was half open with the glass fiber coming out of the gap!! Since i was annoyed that I have the whole setup with the bubbler but no bowls I decided to open it up and fix the misalignment, thats to all the pictures in this thread. When I undid the screws I realized that so much of the fiber was packed in that all the parts just popped off. Due to the cross screwing the inner body is torn around the hole where the screw enters the body :( There was too much fiber inside to actually close the thing so I carefully removed a couple of layers from either side and put it back. The alignment is fixed but there is still a slight gap on the top (where it says HOT) between the 2 parts of the bodies, exposing the fiber from the inside.

I have turned it on, it goes from red to green quite quickly. In say a couple of minutes... but I cant test vapor until I get me some ELBs. Anyone have any links for the right place to get ELBs in the USA?

That sucks, man, sorry to hear that. I also know what it's like to live on the 'other side of the world' resulting in long waits and very expensive shipping for us. So, when something finally turns up, and it's faulty/wrong it's so painfully disappointing.

No ELBs!!! I had asked him to add them and he still didnt :(

Yup, I think he long ago ran out of them. I got 3 ELBs with the first one I bought early on in the auction but none with the second one I bought. Speaking of the second unit I bought...

The device was badly assembled. One of the side screws went in crooked and the metal body inside was half open with the glass fiber coming out of the gap!!

It's strange but my first unit was quite misaligned and the bamboo was too low and need adjustment yet it works PERFECTLY. The second unit I got is PRISTINE in looks, aligned perfectly, not a mark on it, bamboo in perfect position etc... but its DOA. lol. I'm not upset, it's the risk I took with the 'Fakexhale' but it's not much of a risk with Paypal protection.

Does it heat up? If so vapor won't be a problem once you get ELBs. :)
They have them in stock at VaporNation I believe:

Thanks for the feedback. I know what you mean, I dont feel too bad either as it was a risk away way. I should be glad it turns on. Yes it does get hot, I did draw some air from it and it was warm.

Never used Paypal protection... do you actually dispute the payment if the device is broken? I wouldnt do it for this case ofcourse, just curious.

Thanks for the link to vapornation, just ordered a set of ELBs. They have free shipping to the US too. Now to wait for my reshipping company to receive it and resend it to me. Argh! I am going to have to stare at this new rig for atleast 2 to 3 weeks now!

Do you happen to have any Extreme Q elbow screens? You can use those as a mini elb until you receive the set from Vapornation.

Almost there...
Just received notification from Team Heater that my replacement FakeXhale is on it's way!

If it does i will be sooo happy!
Also have the HErbalizer and Evo on the way!!

I actually do! I had ordered them in anticipation of the cloud. However I dont see a way of making a top cap for the bowl. I thought The bowl is too small for my usage anyway and if I jam say a second bowl on top of it the load would be too small for me to notice vapor (Currently dont have access to high quality herbs)

Any ideas on making a cover that could be flat or even bulging outwards?

Does anybody knows if PayPal offers any kind of protection if you buy outside EBay.
I contacted him about another Cloud and he will sell it to me but not thru EBay.
