Perhaps VXL's policy has since been changed, but in the SM post I quoted above, doesn't he say that an inverter voids the warranty?

Hmmm . . . I found this with Search, posted by SM. "Before I forget, there were some questions about the wattage that the Cloud pulls. It pulls 80 watts but if you are using an inverter in the car, we suggest getting one that is at least 200 watts. Also, we had a couple Clouds die on us that...

I think you need to use the search function, try "cloud AND inverter AND car". This has been discussed a number of times, although by far mostly in the context of international. There are those in the U.S. using the Cloud with an inverter in the car, including IIRC SM himself. But there is an...

dumb question here . . . how does one fill the swagger top chamber? That is a perc in that chamber too, right? What am I missing?

There have been a lot of internal improvements since the Tower, e.g., nbr of sensors, sensor placement, accuracy in heat setting, better fan, various reliability changes. And then of course new features such as the remote. IIRC the warranty coverage is better now, too. Personally, if talkin'...

. . . the 4 swagger HT's are now avail for sale on the VXL site, $250-$350 :D no HT feet as yet, though.

As far as efficiency, depends on how you mean that. If you mean amount of extraction, then running the fan (and stirring) until the herb is dark brown and there is just no more vapor, is arguably most efficient. If you mean it in the sense of getting you higher, then like Max said it's because...

Congratulations on your impending Cloud. The best source for your questions is this thread; all have been discussed at length. A short-hand response . . . Put the ELB in when the machine is ready. Yes, just above the slits. Change the water every session. Clean regularly if not frequently if...

A "shower circ inline"? Whatever is that? Looked to me like an inverse showerhead. (And an inline is a totally different animal.) ;)

It meets the "NSF 51" standard (see nsf.org), defined as "plastics used in food equipment". Essentially it means the same, e.g., the Arizer stock pvc tubing has NSF 51 imprinted on it.

Amazon has the same quality silicone tubing. See here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003TJ9YQU/ref=biss_dp_sa1

Anything over 210C is uncomfortably hot/harsh for me, even with water. If I had a good glass piece that could also accommodate ice, possibly 10C higher. That's with mids; top shelf I use lower temp. I still get all the actives; I just take more hits than a power hitter. My routine is probably...

OK whippersnappers :whip: . . . my :2c: As usual, sticks gives good advice. The Q's flexibility is its greatest strength. There are indeed many variables at work, from the vaporizer to the setup to the material to the user style. The good news is that you can find a method that works just...

Separate them, seems easier that way. Can't tell from the video. I wouldn't take that as gospel though; I don't use the oven, either. :)

The V-Tower and the Q have different sensor designs, for that matter IIRC there have been sensor changes in subsequent Q revisions. IMO the temp readings are only a useful reference point helping the user to consistently dial in his/her sweet spot, and should not be taken as precise. Depending...

Seems from posts here that yours is a fairly common routine. Many find that with higher temp comes more harshness, so the quality of the material as well as being able to moisture/cool the vapor are important factors.

I'm feeling about as old as that T-Rex these days, but that's another story . . . The Black Leaf should do the job. How much you like how it does that, that's a different question and only you can say. Let us know what you think. I agree, but of course it depends on a person's set up and...

Sheesh . . . thread lays quiet for days, then bang and a string of posts . . . :) I have a ~25x400mm straight tube with a diffused downstem, and I don't like it for vaporizing. Maybe if I had lungs like SLiM, but for me too much work and I've got to prime it to get good air ratio. A...

I tend to agree. I'd be concerned that with the Cloud's design it would not be healthy for the unit to be left on 24/7, all the more so if left on a high setting. Might be that this is the thinking behind the 1-hr timer, although that is rather short (or may be an indication of just how hot...

. . . and wonderful diffusion. The horizontally opposed chamber fills with very little bubbles, sort of a soft fizzing action. The pull is effortless. And as mentioned before, the wider mouth & pinches easily accommodate ice, making the vapor quite noticeably cooler.
