I use this wire brush that came with my VB 2.0. It makes cleaning out super fast and easy. After 10 or 15 bowls the ELB then takes an ISO bath for a week or three until I run out and have to rinse them all off.

Anybody order a cloud evo from vxh to canada? Did u have to pay customs? I see Planetvape has it in stock, maybe it would be wiser to order from them.. But not sure if they are holding new models or stocked on old ones.
Look for my post a page or two back on what I paid. Basically it's GST+PST+$10 on the converted amount and you'll get the bill 2-3 weeks later. If you live outside Ontario It'll probably be cheaper from PV.

Rapidly becoming a fan of using the VXN, set to 9:30-10 and turning the Evo off as soon as the wax fully melts. Turning back on and to 3:00, to burn off any residue.

Thanks Enchantre for mentioning turning off the EVO mid hit. Seems to make the smallest amount go ever further.

Yeah I've been all over that "turn it off"technique. It's tough tho because I switch from wax to oil to crumbles depending on mood, so each type of conc has a different smooth spot.

70%+ oils are the easiest to manage.

Planetvape has free shipping, but vaporizers.ca has free shipping and no taxes! I'm pretty sure that deal cannot be matched.

Just read a complaint about the SideCirc on the MD comments, is there any truth to this?

"I just got my cloud evo and I really don't recommend the Sidecirc hydratube. At the very minimum level of water to barely cover some of the slits, the water splashes into your mouth when you take a hit."

Is this person doing something wrong? or could their HT be messed up? just wondering for my future MD selection.

I empty the bulk of the ABV from the ELB by taking off the cap, turning it over my ABV jar, then I put my lips around the outside of it and blow - and it will whistle - and very little is left to brush out.

Gentle, gentle... or it will bounce back up and get you...

... yes, this is a serious post, I can't help it that it sounds suggestive.

I'll get the odd drop that gets up to the mouthpiece but otherwise it only happens if I overfill and/or pull too hard. Possibly an issue with the specific one they received but hard to say without more info.

Hmm, I have freshly cleaned ELBs and I used some long cotton swabs to clean the inside bamboo of the Evo, but I still get a horrid burning taste if I turn it above 2 o'clock.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Hmmmm, I have experienced that taste and it was due to my bamboo being dirty...iso is great, but after drying what really made a difference I think was cranking it up to MAX temp, and letting it sit there for a half hour or longer. The only other suggestion is possibly turning the temp down a bit?

I agree with @Monsoon. One "mistake" that seems common with new users is the tendency to pull too hard. Folks are accustomed to smoking/vaping with other devices/methods, and with the EVO not only is pulling hard unnecessary, it can be counter-productive. Just sayin'.

First thing to try is to run the unit on max for several hours, see if it burns off.

If no joy, I wonder if some material fell down into the bamboo that is burning now when you turn up the heat? Or maybe there is some burnt residue in the chamber section of the bamboo? The chamber is between 2 orifices in the bamboo, in line with the top edge of the switch to the top edge of the dial, just under 2". You can see the orifices, they look like a glass o-ring. The orifice diameters are too small for a cotton swab to fit through. I can fit the stem on my can of compressed air through the bottom orifice to gently blow out the chamber (I've only needed to do this once, on my OG unit). Alternatively to actually clean the chamber walls, the only way I know is to plug the bottom of the bamboo and then fill it (with the unit sitting upright) with ISO, slosh with finger tightly sealing top joint, let soak, rinse thoroughly, air dry. (Others may have a better method.)

If the entire bamboo is clean, I would submit a Support ticket to get advice from the VXL crew.

Good luck! :peace:

Thanks for the reply, i figured there had to be something wrong with what the commenter was doing, from everything I've watched on the EVO I figured this was less likely a manufacture problem then user error.

I actually disagree with this. I've found that as long as the EVO has been warmed up, I can pull as hard as I want. And in fact, if I want the tube to be super heavy duty milky, I do have to pull much harder.

I guess everyone's situation may vary, but I notice a definite correlation between the harder I pull, and the more dense my vapor is in the tube.

That's how the og and + clouds worked, but I agree with OBG on the EVO, it's a lot more sensitive on the pull.

What are the pros to this and why has it changed? Is it due to the new heater?

Also, seen both cloud and EVO taken apart, but even tho there is a "ground" plug/prong, it appears that it doesn't really do anything? Meaning, it's not really grounded? Am I missing something?

I actually find no difference between the Cloud, Cloud+ and EVO other than the fact that the EVO is slightly (very slight in my opinion) more restricted.

But hands down, my EVO outperforms my Cloud and my Cloud+ on vapor production no matter the pull speed.

That's why I wrote "can be" rather than "is/will be" (perhaps should have used "may be"). I agree that there are definitely variables (as you note), and so it's not surprising that some prefer/want/need a different technique to get their desired result. That said, we've seen a number of queries posted here where the solution was apparently for the user to reduce the pull. (Both with the HT - OP's question - and the EVO.)

I have a question for those of you that use the new neoprene sleeve with your Evo. Does the smell go away with use?:shrug:

I just put one on today and I had to remove it as the smell of hot neoprene overwhelmed my senses during use.

:peace:

The smell from my sleeve was overpowering at first, borderline unbearable; it tapered off to almost nil after a week or so of heavy use but I still catch a whiff from time to time. Not the most pleasant smelling thing in the world but I find myself grabbing the top half of my EVO so I leave it on for safety.

I like to pull softly until vapor production begins then ramp it up. Once vapor starts to flow, EVO just keeps pumping it out.
True. I think when pulling hard from the start, the air rushes through the bowl so fast it doesn't sped so much time in it transfering the convection heat into it.
The original Cloud also let through more clean air before the ELB was heated and vapor started flowing.
But the original delivered less heat when pulling slowly, so boosting it like EVO was not an option.
The EVO delivers even slighty higher heat on slow pulls, so it can start milking with very little air going through and then continue as the flow increases.

That's how the og and + clouds worked, but I agree with OBG on the EVO, it's a lot more sensitive on the pull.

What are the pros to this and why has it changed? Is it due to the new heater?
No, the new heater just heats up faster. How this vape actually vapes depends on the shape of its bamboo (assuming the heater is working correctly).
I think this slow pulling performance comes from the restrictions being placed lower in the EVO.
I think this also makes the EVO warm up slower for hard-hitting (but this is probably compensated by the faster heater)

Also, seen both cloud and EVO taken apart, but even tho there is a "ground" plug/prong, it appears that it doesn't really do anything? Meaning, it's not really grounded? Am I missing something?
Usually a ground pin is needed when the device has conductive enclosure, which the EVO doesn't.
I questioned VXL why there is a groud pin when there's no accesible metal on the enclosure.
They explained it's becuse of hydratubes. So when you blow into the tube and spill water on the vape, you don't get shocked, just the vape.
So it's probably connected to the metal enclosure of the heater inside.
