On a Permanent Vakation
@darkrom, as someone else who used their Cloud inverted quite a bit, and also held their unit from the top almost primarily, I can attest that holding the EVO by the mid/bottom section feels totally natural after just a few sessions, weather upright, inverted, or transitioning from one to another. After using this now for a few straight days, I can say I no longer reach for the top of the unit, even when it hasn't been on long enough to get uncomfortable at the top.
Now while I agree with what @MacRadish and @Deadshort480 are saying, I also side with @max, in that the unit only gets uncomfortable if left on. And, needing to leave it on has nearly become a thing of the past. I say nearly, as some users medical needs might override the minimal nature of the "couple minute" heat up time. What I'm saying is that the heat up time from a cold start has been reduced to such a small time that most can afford to leave the device off, and turn it on when they need to use it; as the heat up time is nearly equivalent to the time needed to prepare ones flowers, glass, etc. However, for someone with any number of medical issues which require the user to medicate at a moments notice, that "couple minute" warm up time might as well be hours.
So, if you don't ever need to vape at a moments notice, then you're probably better off leaving the EVO turned off when not being used actively. As much as one would think they need it at the ready, it really does take about the same amount of time to heat up as it does to prep meds.
Personally, certain times of the day, I will be leaving the EVO on non-stop via WeMo switch, as I know that I am prone to nausea coming on at a moments notice, and recently it has been narrowed down to certain settings. I carry my Dr. Dabber pen for immediate needs, but when I'm home, and I know I'm feeling like I'm going to need it at any moment, the WeMo is on. Otherwise, when I'm feeling particularly good and am only medicating for pain, and / or recreational purposes, I leave the EVO off...as I know I'm bound to spend the same amount of time as the EVO will spend getting heated up, or more, preparing my meds, cleaning glass, packing an ELB, doing other things etc.
So, for me, the Top half of the unit isn't always hot, but because it is at times, I never go for it. I keep the 1 wristband included in my EVO shipment at the halfway mark on the EVO, so that I (and others) have a quick reference of where it stays cool/gets warm/hot. I find it very comfortable/natural now to grab the unit midway or lower and use it as needed. The light-weight aspect, especially when unplugged, lend to the EVO being very maneuverable without one feeling like the EVO is at risk. I love the new design and it's weight reduction. Yes, at first, it had that "well there goes the quality with the weight" feeling, but after my first session, and getting used to picking up what I expected to be heavier, it's just right!
There's never been any need for either of those things...but my thought and reasoning behind the TwoCap method, was to keep the mess to a minimum, and vape it a little bit better/efficiently
...My OG always vaped kief just fine in the ELB, just made a bit of a mess, and the ELB didn't stay clean as long. This also just seemed to vape kief a little quicker and more uniformly than the ELB. The MiniELB was a result of wanting a small bowl, that was easy to handle, and easier to eye-ball dosage-wise...I can scoop up a bowl the same size every time. Also, it provided better clearance than the Two-Cap did in some pieces with finicky GONG joints; and it made for a convenient bowl for more runny but still sap-like oils.
Too fast for you?
Seriously? Talk about nitpicking.
Yes, the temp light goes green when it is up to temp. The nature of a device with a beastly heater like this, however, is that heat will continue to soak into the device, and it will heat more. Overall ambient temp will rise, etc. The green light is an indicator of when the temp sensors have agreed that things are up to the temp you set it to. But, as time goes on, the temp will rise a bit.
What you're seeing is characteristics of "un-typical" usage. As someone such as @max states, the unit should be turned on, let heat up until green at desired temp, used, then turned off. That's why the heater is as powerful as it is, as well as for concentrate use at max temps, etc.
If you leave it on for more than one session, you're likely to see the temp/vapor production rise up over what it was at the initial "green light."
Oh yeah, expect an actual review from me here when I'm not stuck at work...If I can hold back from replying for a little while longer, maybe there will still be something left to review that no one has touched
Yeah, right...as if. We all know, and knew, that this thing would be, and is, a total beast. It is just great! Once again, VXL has done it just right...and yet somehow, I feel like 2014 will only be better!

And, I couldn't say how long my EVO stays on for...I haven't timed it or payed too much attention...
! Do you find that the HI comes close to the full extraction performance you can get with the Cloud? Thanks!
silent is cool too though.
And keep at it, my mother was a very slow typer and awful with computers. Nowadays she already uses the internet and types ok. You'll get there too.
