Welcome to the FC forum and the EVO thread! A virtually universal experience for all new owners is a "break-in" period. Not for the machine mind you, but for the user. There are a lot of subtleties with the EVO. It takes some experimenting to find what works best for your unique combination...

Re cleaning . . . helps to keep in mind that there are "orifices" aka "glass washers" in the bamboo which narrow the opening substantially; between the orifices is the glass chamber where the magic happens. So for example while you can get the cotton end of a q-tip into the bamboo it will be...

Have you "trained" your new ELB's? Well, this is a helluva lot better. Image from post up the page. I absolutely love this setup. And it is super safe: The HL design as it is does a very good job of preventing water down the joint thus protecting the EVO, but when mounted this way even if...

Thx for the tip, Stu. Will do!

I'm so sorry to hear of your travails. I'm not a stranger to the concern and fear that you have. All I can offer by way of encouragement is that until and unless there is a confirmed pathology, one cannot know for sure what is ahead and so there is reason to hope. Seek positive thoughts and...

Just checking in, been a while, to share a little info . . . I purchased the EVO neoprene jacket in the recent VXL promotion. Took a chance even though there have been a number of complaints here about the smell, but I haven't had an issue with that at all. Sure, if I put my nose right to it...

This make be of some help . . . http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/retailer-discussion-discounts.1802/ Note the FC discount code for vapornation.

With the caveat that I can't speak to these specific Swagger pieces . . . when the Cloud was first launched there was discussion about the different characteristics in the HT's. IIRC the general consensus was that circ's were less likely to break than trees simply because trees have more...

Perhaps this warrants an inquiry to VXL? (Or is it Massdrop when the deal is through them?)

A friend with whom I've done many EVO sessions, consistently gets lighter ABV than I do. Exactly the same setup, herb, load, and temp. Except that I take slower longer hits, pulling just to a low whistle. And when the vapor gets thin-to-the-eye he reloads, while I take another 2 or even 3...

What is the drag like? Sounds like the pull is pretty easy. (Looks fantastic, but I'm totally new to recyclers.)

Then it's most likely due to the power cable plug. Quite a few users have been frustrated with the stock cable female not mating well with the unit's male receptacle. Try a cable from another piece of equipment, like a TV or monitor or printer or PC; that should reveal if the stock cable is...

@Meth0tica, I'm with @Seek . . . not heard of a loose bamboo on the EVO. And the HT should slip easily on/off the EVO joint, which is shaved just a wee bit to avoid joint lock.

Yea, the EVO's extraction is remarkable. I don't think the flavor should be affected by less herb, though. IMHO most new users benefit from experimenting across the heat range and with technique, and if available, the setup. There are subtleties to be discovered. The EVO is intended to be...

The extent of the whistle is due to very fine variations in the diameter of the bamboos coupled with the force of the air intake. It will vary with your setup and technique. I use this flat cord, purchased from eBay. It's definitely better than the stock cord. That said, I also have other...

VXL recommends placing the lower wristband just above the enclosure mid-point screws. That enables you to avoid the hot section by sight or touch. Before long, handling the unit comfortably will become second nature.

While vapor can cause coughing due to tickling or irritation, my understanding is that THC also has an "expectorant" effect which itself can induce coughing. The HF2.0's additional filtering & moisturizing will probably help some (I have an HF and a HT Circ, too), but at least IME reducing the...

Do you have another vape which you could use to vape the EVO ABV? IIRC a week or two ago another user posted a similar concern. He then vaped the ABV in his Herbie and got virtually nothing. (Appears that @poonman may have had a similar experience, i.e., no more vapor out of his ABV when...

I think the enclosure does act as a heat sink. Absorbs internal heat energy and then dissipates it off.

Whoa! If so, I surely hope VXL's engineers did heat modeling to be sure of the effects. That's a lot of work for a few wristbands. :ko: That said, at least based on my technical background, I doubt that is what is causing an odor. I haven't experienced any smell whatsoever from VXL or cheapo...
