I'm another one of these- went from trade-in to Early Bird.
Seems like the Early Birds that have gotten emails got bent-kneck. I asked for the version with ice pinches. Anyone who is getting one of those gotten an email yet?
I hop around my entire glass collection, but always come back to the mark 1 Hitman turbine, Mobius Matrix pieces (both the 65t and the Strato), and old Luke Wilson 15 arm bub.
I own three turbine tubes, two Hitman and one Jhanpixel, and they turbine the air and water on most pulls at most rates - only really slow pulls don't do that in the Hitman tubes. They're what I use 90% of the time, and the only reason I went with the Early Bird.
Been using hemp fiber with my OG Cloud for a couple of weeks. Makes a huge difference along with water filtrtration, especially if, like me, you have tracheal asthma that makes you cough.
Mine is nearly 16 months old, and after a recent bamboo cleaning it's still cranks like day one. So some are definitely still going. Though they had to replace my first one almost immediately- this is technically my second original 'ticker' Cloud.
Great idea. I have a tiny alex k showerhead bub i'll try.
EDIT: Didn't help. It's better is a bigger piece i can fit a lot of ice in. Seems there's nothing to do but use cough drops.
Yeah. My doctor is doing research on it. The carbonation is part of what prevents the vomiting. I want to avoid prescription anti-emetics, since I'm trying to get of all pharmaceuticals. This isn't an uncommon symptom to coming off over a decade of pain meds. Supposedly the stomach will...
Unfortunately, the meds have so damaged my stomach I haven't been able to drink water in years- it makes me vomit. These days I can only drink carbonated items with real vanilla (a natural anti-emetic) in them, but no sugar. Either make it with seltzer myself, or drink diet A&W or Doctor...
Been using so much mj since stopping all narcotics that i can barely vape anymore. Even thru water & ice, percs & small pulls , hacking after every pull. Any advice?
I'm having a related issue. I just came off 16 or so years of painkillers for nerve pain. Turned out the narcotics were controlling my asthma. Btwn that and extra vaping for pain & nausea, i'm coughing on every pull, even with my cloud or HI on low & thru a small two perc tube with water &...
Dang. I'm the guy who bought the used Ascent in the classifieds section. It was before I saw the off-gassing reported. Really, really hope the one on its way to me doesn't do it. This isn't for me, but for a Parkinson's patient I know who needs a good portable.
I can also tell you, as a person with pain from damaged nerves, myself and some other neural pain patients get much better pain control from a giant pull with the Cloud cranked all the way than by starting at ~2 and working your way up. Something about everything hitting all the involved...
Sorry to all those who don't have a Cloud. But with a couple of days of use after a thorough cleaning, my more than year-old OG Cloud is so much more powerful, I've retired my only other in-use home unit. I had forgotten how truly awesome this vape is when it's fully cleaned and used properly...
Just got my good old Cloud working like brand-new again (15 months of constant use). Discovered the bottom hole in the bamboo had gotten clogged. Reamed it with a super-thin paper clip, and presto, it pulls like the day I got it. Still can't wait for the EVO though.
