    oh yea it was just a few days before it started to go back to normal lol. This is why I never believe in tolerance breaks. They are fun for a few days then boom back to normal pretty much. Unfortunately for me this wasn't a wanted tolerance break lol

    What is it about the cloud that is a tolerance smasher ? Or your opinions anyway?

    VnS, I know I completely agree but it depends. The same thing that happened to you happened to me on my last 2 months T-break. Reason? Probably same as yours....old habits....and hence, after a few days you are right back to where you were. The point of my T-break's are to change my actual usage/habits... if you take a T-break and then exercise a little discipline (I know fucking tough) then your tolerance will stay low. I think there is a big difference between daily and irregular vaping...huge.

    CS, the Cloud is a weapon of mass extraction....and it's fun and addicting, you do the math :) Don't say that you weren't warned! :) Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you get it next week. What glass are you mating with it?

    It's just the ability to be able to smash bowl after bowl after bowl.

    Plus I have discipline V4L but my girl doesn't and I supply he weed. So I just can't justify watching her consume that much when I'm only getting a little lol.

    I feel for ya. I stick to a 2/3 loosely packed bowel that compacts to 1/4 after a few hits and stirring. I try not to go past that per session. I have a friend who sucks down 80 percent of an elb in one hit which makes me take lung busters.

    That's discipline man...I would load that same size ELB, but wouldn't be able to stop just there, so I would do like another dozen lol I'm that guy that sucks down 80% of an ELB in one hit...helps when your lungs are greater than 7L in volume :) Tried all the "efficient" ways of smaller hits, longer duration, etc etc but none of that was to my enjoyment.

    i had a pile after filling a 6ml jar. i vaped a two cap while scraping it up and filling the jar and still had enough to half fill an elb, tap packed (like a cig) took 3 giant rips and was giggitygiggitygooone. finished b4 and after a dentist apt. this morn. works great.
    tapped it repeatedly on a mirror plate to see if any was coming thru and i was in the clear.
    did repeated stirs and vaped it on 9 'til nothing came thru. abv was dark, dark.
    glad i got a good place for this to go, usually i'd just turn it into oil. still pullin' this down from the shelf everyday. also for cleaning tool i've been using my bender cleaning tool

    Did you notice the ELB extra-filled with particulates after the kief pack? When I've 2-capped it it can come out as a single puck, but does require a hotter temperature because it's farther away from the heat.

    I've found better success with kief in the VXC than Oils/wax or non-granulated bubble hash/pressed.
    Just doing an even mix with ground herb seems to work perfectly.

    yea, i'd already had success with shaved (from pressed) kief in the two cap, would figure bubble wouldn't be as successful unless really shredded and mixed w/herb. surprisingly i just looked thru both ELBs and you can't tell which was the kief full and which just had a little sprinkled w/ herb. kief was really dry tho. that might have had something to do with it :shrug:.
    channel in the cloud looks clean, matrix is due for a cleaning so i can't say for sure whether or not any was gettin' thru there but doubtful.
    the abv gets kinda pucky, but breaks up easily. was actually surprised it worked that well.

    Wow almost every burnt out cloud is having the exact same problem now adays. Hopefully vxh can figure it out! My roommates cloud had the same problem as well.

    This is interesting because it seems to be the same thing happening to older ticking Clouds AND newer non-ticking Clouds...

    Yes, it is quite a shocker to all of us at VXL that forum members have been plagued by these problems. As I mentioned, we're seeing a 2% failure rate and our announcement after Cannabis Cup should alleviate any concerns about the perceived durability issues with the Cloud.

    This post deserves so many more likes than it currently has.

    The amount of unwarranted negativity in this thread is a real downer, and it's not fair to VXL. I want to address a couple points, the first being reliability. With the recent trend of posts questioning the Cloud's reliability -- increasingly by individuals who do not own and have not used one -- it's becoming difficult not to get caught up in the doubt and uncertainty. This is a special product, and also a significant investment for many, so the concern is understandable. However, the amount of speculation taking place here, based on a very limited amount of data is unhelpful and highly inaccurate.

    Reading this thread sometimes it would appear that half of all Clouds are defective. Let's revisit the facts. VXL has stated that they are currently seeing a ~2% failure rate, and sm55 has confirmed this number. Consumers are much more likely to be vocal if they have problems with a product, otherwise they're typically too busy enjoying it, and we have seen a growing number of posts from long standing members who are doing just that. Yes there are some problems, and that brings me to the second point.

    Customer service is tricky. Good companies want to take care of their customers, but unfortunately there are people who will take advantage at every opportunity. Of course you would never do such a thing, but let's be honest - fraud happens every minute of every day, from kids sneaking an extra cookie, to the highest levels of Wall Street and government.

    stonemonkey55 was here when the only forum rule was: Be nice. The rules have grown out of necessity along with the forum. They are written with care to stay true to our original goals, and also to protect against members who feel they're entitled to do whatever they want with no consequences. You'd be amazed to hear some of cases we deal with behind the scenes here, and how far we go to cater to some extremely irrational, rude, and malicious people. Of course what you actually hear are the loud and irate cries of injustice voiced publicly by those same people we've gone out of our way to help.

    I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for sm55 and the VXL team to read the seemingly unending steam of complaints about their customer service. It pisses me off to read people posting that they've sent 5 support tickets in 24 hours because they didn't get a response on a weekend. Or to hear that "defective" units that have been discussed ad fucking nauseum on the forum have been found to be working perfectly after testing by the VXL team.

    When he set out on creating a new breed of vaporizer, I know that sm55's focus was laser-like. Profitability was an afterthought, and I think that it's only now, nearly a year after realizing his vision, that the full, ugly reality of CYA has begun to sink in. It sucks that yet again, a few bad apples have fucked up a good thing for everyone else, but thankfully sm55 is taking this in stride and has decided to maintain a balance of new, more rigid policies while continuing to be active in the community.

    Yeah, it's probably time that VXL spent a chunk of time and money towards putting together a pretty user manual with lots of legalese and warnings. Personally I'm glad they focused on getting this enthusiast product into the hands of enthusiasts first. And hopefully it doesn't detract too much from the very exciting developments that are taking place at VXL. I think current and prospective customers will be excited to hear the upcoming announcements. ;)

    tl;dr:
    • VXL is seeing a ~2% failure rate with Clouds.
    • If you need support, use the VXL ticket system and be patient.
    • This forum is not to be used as VXL support system. Doing so delays support for everyone.
    • "Forum blackmail" will not be tolerated.
    • Glass must be treated with care.
    If you aren't okay with the above points, perhaps the Cloud is not the vape for you and I wish you luck in finding a more suitable product. There are plenty of other vapes discussed here at fc. What you won't find is a more customer oriented company run by people with the enthusiast credibility of VXL.

    I believe the forum has in some part, become the place where people voice their complaints because here there are other costumers and users, and many users sign up to be able to write their complaints ( and also the props for many here) when before they just browsed without registering.

    Also, has the number of users increases, people will get here just by complaining of a problem on Google.

    I'm happy to see the improvemnts you 've done already, and keem 'em coming. And an EU/AUSVersion of the green fairy. :D

    EDIT: Vtac said it all. If i crossed the line anywhere that TigerLord's issue discussion, i appologize FC.

    This make me want more that you have the EU Version ready!!

    Also want to add that I'm one of the first preorderers for this vape and everytime I talked with SM55 or any other member of the VXL team, they have been really nice and pleasant and I don't have a Cloud yet.
