    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...

    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...

    I wonder if it would be better to use a more gentle tool, like perhaps a mascara-like brush? Perhaps the hardness of your scraper is too harsh? Also, I remember on the OG thread, it being suggested to turn/swirl the brush with the direction of the inside weld, i.e., not against the edge of the...

    AFAIK you should not need to toggle the switch repeatedly to restart the unit. I would submit a Support ticket to VXL. Many times Support has been able to resolve an issue over the phone w/o a return required so perhaps you'll get lucky. If not, VXL has typically been very responsive with...

    It's quite common for new users - I would hazard a guess that it's most - to go through sort of an adjustment period where they learn their EVO and refine their technique. With this vape there is new learning and even re-learning compared to using other vapes. You might want to take a look at...

    You should not be getting very high heat on the enclosure below the middle screws (which is where the bottom of the wristbands should be placed). There is a heat shield at that point which protects the electronics, all of which are at the bottom. If you're getting excessive heat in that area...

    I agree with @newVaper420, submit a Support ticket straightaway. It's not uncommon for a new user to work through his/her issue with only coaching from Support. But if replacement is required, VXL has typically been very responsive. IIRC VXL posted recently that their reject rate is running...

    @Pappy posted some YouTube video with the first - and much heavier - Cloud using glass that has a 45 joint and also using a 45 adapter on a tight vertical joint. just search for ClubMJW. When he made those vids, the CloudBuddy was not yet available. I have a couple tight pieces, and the CB...

    Aw c'mon now. You know that's not what we meant by "smoke". :razz:

    May I humbly suggest that you expunge "smoke" from your vaporizing vocabulary. With your EVO, you smoke no more! :D Sounds like you received defective ELB's. I recall some with fit issues following release of the EVO, but not reports of the weld coming apart. Did you contact VXL about it...

    I get dark brown ABV nearly all the time. A friend of mine with whom I've shared my EVO many times never has ABV as brown as mine. We both vape at ~2ish. I think the reason is that when the vapor becomes wispy he stops; he likes those big hits. On the other hand when I get to that point I...

    IIRC (and I may not) the instruction to first dial back to noon was because of a little quirk in the sensor/firmware that occasionally happens. I've never needed to do it with either of my EVO's, but certainly can't hurt so, sure, why not. :)

    For pre-heat set the dial at 3 and when it turns green, dial down to your preferred setting (with the herb I typically get, 2 works best but this varies with herb, dryness, and grind). Wait until the top section gets very hot, usually about 10 minutes. Something that many of us, especially...

    Aren't there 2 HF 2.0's? The first by Evolver, the current one by Swagger? I also seem to recall a couple of posts suggesting the Evolver was a tad smoother??? (Or is my memory failing again?) That said, I have the Swagger. I agree with @macbill, the piece has a lot of diffusion. With just...

    I also have this case, not hardly as elegant as my larger Nanuk but then again a tenth of the cost. Has the foam cut-outs, too. Perfect for the beach. "Recommended dryness for EVO ELB's?" - Presumably you mean only your herb. ;) When I first started vaping, I purchased a humidor with the...

    The isopropyl evaporates completely. However, both isopropyl and ethanol can leave behind tiny amounts of oil-based residue, isopropyl less so than ethanol. That's why I rinse with a drop of dishwashing liquid soap (like Dawn) because it cuts and suspends oil-based residue (ref: that greasy...

    Eliminating the ELB sacrifices extraction efficiency. They are designed to create turbulence for maximum, even exposure of the herb to the airflow. Everclear is ethanol. IIRC isopropyl is more effective as a solvent, evaporates more quickly, and is more thorough (i.e., leaves less residue...

    I'm not at all sure about this, but per chance is VXL doing its fulfillment through a 3rd-party now? That could account for the uplift.

    Re the FC codes, I don't think so unless those items are now being sold through retailers. Re the shipping, was/is the shipping Priority Mail? I ordered from VXL not long ago and to my chagrin found that the only shipping option was Priority, and that was near as expensive as the items. (VXL...
