Some do, some don't. (I don't.) I don't think shaking it does much unless it's like only a quarter full. If my ELB is half+ full, I sometimes pull the cap (with ELB still in Cloud) to see how brown the ABV is and if it isn't dark I use my very narrow tweezers for a quick stir; that will give...

Amen. And understand what you're putting in your piece and what you're using to clean it. I agree re the acetone, but IME solvents don't help with mineral stains. I've had good success using an oxalic acid polishing agent aka Bar Keepers Friend. Make a weak slurry and shake it thoroughly...

I don't remember it being discussed. There were some posting who could not get the glass clean with any of the agents suggested, and IIRC there was a mention of trying muriatic. For those whose glass stains or haze just won't remove, I suspect the problem is often one of disparate layers, i.e...

As I posted earlier, this is not necessarily true. As I type this I am looking at a Micro Clear which has a ~1'4" smoke ring haze embedded in the glass where the water line usually is. It's a strange phenomena - when there is water in it or it has just been cleaned, the ring isn't visible. The...

Why am I not surprised? :D My Nanuk 930 is still awaiting its haircut. I've been holding off until I was sure what I wanted to pack into it - the plan is for an HT plus a Mobius bubbler.

Yet OP is starting at 165C, working up from there in 5C increments. Something not right with this picture. :ugh:

Also called push-bowl style, look at center pic at the ALT link. It's just a regular bowl with typically a small hole in the bottom. For smoking. No, PBW cannot clean everything. It seems to remove most organic and some inorganic compounds. So it is good e.g. with resin and common water...

IIRC the OP is using the whip.

Typically included is Mobius' push-style bowl slide. Like this: http://aqualabtechnologies.com/scientific-glass/mobius-glassworks/mobius-glassworks-replacement-slide-18-mm-16964.html A slide has come with each of my Mobius pieces.

Another post a couple days ago relayed that VXL had informed him that they had received a bad batch of control boards (or possibly incorrectly done firmware; that device sits on the board) and until that was resolved, shipments are on hold. AFAIK they have not before been "out of stock" of the...

Yes, there is debate about whether the Matrix perc has so much diffusion that it removes flavor. I don't notice it myself but I'm sure others do. The Reti is great for taste, even though it has great diffusion. It doesn't have the smoothness of the Matrix but it is still pleasantly smooth...

Right. The action of the Reti perc is nearly identical in both pieces, just as is true with the Matrix. It is a tad smoother in the Ion because the perc is scaled smaller and less water is being moved. During a pull where the pressure is held, this difference is nearly imperceptible. It's when...

Have you tried experimenting with high temps, ~230C as I suggested earlier? You have been a very heavy combustion user with a high tolerance. That will make the transition to vaporizing more of a challenge. By vaping at a higher temp, you will be consuming most of the canniboid compounds in the...

I'm not quite sure what you're asking to be compared. The Micro (Clear) vs Ion specifically with the Reti? The Micro (Clear) vs the Ion in general? Or? Btw, on Mobius site it appears that he labels what we here have been calling the "Clear", as the "Micro" series, of which there is the Matrix...

I heard ya the first time. :) I meant that, while a temp may indeed be "high" enough to ultimately give dark ABV, it might still take comparatively more hits than the "high" temp that delivers the milk I suspect those posting are referring to. That is, it's perceived as high but not as high as...

Perhaps this is a concern that has been sufficiently repeated that it warrants a clarification from VXL (?). IMHO the high temp should be just assuredly safe short of combustion. One can get very dark brown ABV by repeated hits at a lower temp (i.e., a slow boil), yet still be unable to get...

I missed this suggestion in my previous reply . . . IMO a good idea. It's very simple, makes for a tighter fit of the screen anyway, and adds airflow as flotntoke posted. I just use my thumbs to shape the screen into a shallow dome, try to keep it even all around. Then push the screen into...

Since you were one of the earliest Cloud users here, we'll especially be looking for your comparison. (My old unit performs so well I'm nervous about it being changed.)

IMHO it's not necessary - and maybe not really the greatest idea for a first-time vaper first-time Q user - to go down the mod path. I have a friend who I've been helping to "learn" his Q. It took him a while, but now he is hitting the cyclone at 200C and getting the vapor he wants. He needed...

Busted! :lol: Well hell, at least someone (or two) got some entertainment value. You were of course right . . .
