Agreed, vaporbonging with the SSV is unreal, you'll never look back.

Algebraist,
GonG fittings are standardized. The 14mm measurement refers to the inner diameter of the joint, not the outer diameter.
I have had great results simply sliding the tubing into a 14mm downstem, past the female joint, into the airspace between the two joints. With 18mm, you would need to either push the tubing much further down the downstem, or use a proper adapter.

Shiz. I measured the inner diameter of the Lux's downstem and it's 15.825 mm. I just shoved the tubing into the downstem (a good three inches!), hopefully the seal will be sufficient. I'll give her a whirl this afternoon. I called 7th floor and they don't make custom sized adapters!Spiderman said:

Ok, sorry to keep on this, but I tried inserting the tubing for the SSV into the downstem of the LUX and it doesn't seem like a good fit (opening/inner diameter for the downstem is 15.825mm) . Here's a picture of the situation. Do any of you fellas have a 7th floor adapter that works? If so, do you think the 14mm adapter will work with my LUX?

I know I've slagged off 7th floor customer service, they never respond to any of my emails ever.
Though......
MY SSV IS HERE, setting up right now. 10 days from ordering all the way to Australia.
I'm very happy with the prompt delivery, 7th floor you have come through nicely.

Dude , bong sizes are standard , just look on EDIT or any other headshop like website. It's all 14.5mm or 18.8mm. I highly doubt your Lux is any different. 7th floor just likes to confuse everyone by rounding up to 19mm and down to 14mm. It's all the same in the end.The_Algebraist said:

Well everything seems to be here.
The plug isn't the right type though... so I got some investigating to go into... I got a massive bowl of weed chopped up next to me
The heater cover is a bit of a let down, colour wise (tiny bit of blood red), the temperature knob though far exceeds my expectations, BADASS design.
Hmmm, now to sort out power.

Guy I have no idea at all.
I got a plug here, 2 flat prongs and a round prong in the middle. YY3 or something
I got no fucking idea.
I ordered a 220V european power, I have no idea what this is, but I thought the 220V worked with Australian outlets.
I'm really stressing, I invested a lot of money getting this over here (nearly $500 AUD) and I have no idea what the plug is... I can't even BEGIN to get some type of adapter because I'm completely in the dark.

Looks like they sent you the wrong one. Call em up and explain your issue.
Do not change the plug, if you do and plug it in it will likely blow up. You could get a transformer but that would be a pain in the butt.
I would return it and have the proper one sent. I feel for you.

I spent $500 AUD on it.
Transformer I've located is $50, 50W. So long as that doesn't blow up the SSV and it runs perfect I would pay that in a heart beat. ATM the plan is to do that first thing in the morning.
I would be shattered if the only course of action was to send this SSV all the way back to 7th floor for an exchange.

hey chubba a fellow aussie vapor head here, your gonna need a step down or isolating transformer around $90 AUD for a 100w one it will allow you to run 110v US style appliances(i think thats what they've sent you) from a 240 wall wart without cooking your vape! Jaycar has got em.

when i spoke to someone at 7th floor a couple of weeks ago they said you "just stick the adapter where you stick the bowl" which i took to mean into the downstem.illadelph said:
I just ordered the adapter, not the downstem.

adapter plus screens plus priority shipping came out to twenty bucks. not bad and should be here thursday!illadelph said:
VAPOR BONG. I'm going to have to clean out the LUX before it gets here, just two uses via combustion and you can see some discoloration in it. Yuck. Plus the downstem smells like shit.
I'm definitely going to indulge and pack a nice big bowl, turn the temp up to 2:00 and let her rip!

quite frankly, your situation sucks.Chubba said:My SSV is finally powered up.
$100 extra for a transformer
they have a austalian specific plug that it should have come with.
have you called them and spoken to anyone yet i would be interested in hearing what they have to say about this issue.
Chubba
Vaporbonger
There's no issue tokin.
I specified 220V, I got conformation of order in email 220V, I have an invoice that came out of the box with 220V (hand written "thanks for the support" RIGHT next to it on the invoice).
7th floor messed up, simple as that, as a result I've shelled out $100 extra to be able to use my vaporizer that should have come already working.
I COULD have contacted them and sent it back, but tbh, time is money and I don't trust their customer service in the slighest to get a 220V SSV out quickly (minimum I would be waiting 3 - 4 weeks) and I've been hanging out for a vaporizer for months.
Bit bummed, though here I am, about to load my first whip
EDIT: WOW!!!
I didn't even realise it was creating vapor, 1 light pull, a hit 10x bigger then anything on the genie.
Bud is still 100% entirely green.
perhaps I can forgive them
