    I wouldn't hesitate asking VXL, I'm sure they have an "average" or "quoted" turnaround. From comments on this thread, I gather that about a week is typical, rarely two or more. About a year after release I sent my unit in to replace just the switch and, because VXL has upgraded all the guts...

    The glass bamboo is not user replaceable. If it breaks due to malfunction, it is covered under warranty just like the rest of the device. Usually this only happens when there has been a defect in manufacturing or when another component is defective, e.g., the heater running amok. All covered...

    The last time I had one taken apart (so this may have been changed since) . . . there was a protective material sealed around the upper ~half of the bamboo, in which the heater was imbedded. I don't remember if there is a conductive adhesive used. All encased in a jacket. So the bamboo is...

    Maybe, maybe not. The best way to test if the bamboo is intact is to put your finger tightly on the bottom and then test whether you can suck/blow air thru the joint. If it is airtight, not likely the glass is broken. If I heard an unnerving noise and the bamboo is airtight, I would inquire...

    What I have done: Put a cork in the bottom, used an eye dropper with the iso into the joint, allowed to drain down till filled to top orifice, then gently turned up/down a little so it flowed in/out of the chamber. Uncorked bottom and allowed to drain out. Repeated with water. Air dried...

    It will get the dirtiest above the chamber, nearer the ELB. You can clean that area with a q-tip/iso. How often will of course depend upon your material and usage. If you don't see barely anything on the q-tip, you're probably doing it more frequently than necessary. Follow the same...

    Many of us turn the unit on at max and then turn it down when it hits green. There are no issues doing this. This will get the unit to the ready point faster. If your ABV is golden brown, there quite possibly are some CBD's remaining. You might give a try at taking the first two hits at 1...

    I tried my damndest to get any of my HT's to work with the Q, but it was just never effective (at least for me) not to speak of being not easy to use. I think I even posted one version on the Q thread. I had modded my Q before DDave began his project (and helped DDave some with his); I think...

    Um, letting your Q mates know about your EVO experience probably won't go over too well, not if past experience is any indication. Even here on this thread there have been pretty strong words thrown at some folks for being "fan boys." A vape is a very personal thing. Loyalty is a factor...

    @kellya86, I was so glad to read your post above. I know you've been very diligent in preparing for your EVO baptism, but understandably cautious. It's commendable that you did your homework so well for your maiden voyage. Now is just the beginning though . . . over the days and weeks to come...

    That is not correct. Using it inverted was not a design consideration, and in fact, VXL advises additional care when used that way, i.e., if left inverted for an inordinate amount of time there can be heat build-up in the electronics section (in the bottom behind the switch) which could be...

    Well you've received a number of suggestions. I'll toss mine in, which is what @stickstones and other vets here pretty much do, give or take. Having said that, feel free to experiment to see exactly what routine you prefer. * Turn EVO on max until light goes green. * Turn EVO down to your...

    The first one is sorta a knock-off of a Mobius Ion, with a matrix perc and dewar joint. The question I would have is the diameter of the piece, i.e., I've seen very slim versions which may not have sufficient room for the EVO to sit in the joint and not touch the mouthpiece, requiring an...

    If I may, allow me to just add a proverbial "word to the wise" . . . when the Cloud was released - and this applies many times over with the EVO - it was branded as "the connoisseur's vape". That is so true. The EVO is sophisticated and nuanced. I compare it to the ritual of preparing and...

    1. Just a little under 1 lb. The lighter weight is due to the special plastic used for the housing; it is designed specifically for dissipating heat. The first Cloud had an aluminum housing and was much heavier, but much hotter to handle, too. You'll want to use the optional sleeve. It...

    Re ELB's: I have about a dozen that I have used in rotation going back to my Cloud OG beta. I think I broke the weld on one a couple years ago, being too rough with it. Occasionally you'll see a post where someone got some that were a wee bit tight or loose; there are techniques that can...

    I'm afraid not. I don't use them. I think I've seen posts suggesting ISO and long Q-Tips. Maybe a good soak? I'm sure others will respond, or use the search. Sorry can't be of more help. :myday::(

    Because they didn't know any better. With the spiritual hallucinogenic revolution promoted by Leary, Kesey, et al, the ingredients for which were widely accessible, everyone was into consciousness experimentation. I grew up at the epicenter in San Francisco and had many great experiences, but...
