A couple afterthoughts to the above . . . the airflow is excellent, I only felt a little resistance when I pulled hard. The air intake is a mystery, can't see how that's done but it works great. IMO a long smooth draw is better than a hard pull. This might be pilot error, but it also seemed...
I tried mine tonight with the enclosed CBD pod. I too am impressed. The design is simple yet elegant; the magnetized interior, pod, and cap is a brilliant idea. It has a very pleasing shape and appearance. The vapor is dense but light and remains very cool even pulling hard - much cooler than...
OK, this from VXL:
"The pod is Elixinol CBD called “Respira” - Grape mint flavor."
For those in the Beta Test Crew, check the Yammer thread for more . . .

Just received my pre-release Hanu Stone, including a Pod. Public release begins next week in California. Very cool, sleek-looking device. More to come . . .
Re the recent discussion about "factory second" HT's . . .
I bought one last week, a Precision Hydrabomb, primarily because I thought my wife might like it, what with it being smaller and being a side-car. I was wrong. She definitely likes the Evolver Hydratree we've been using, much better...
So who is ripping off who? Or maybe that monkey is in the public domain?
I don't think that in general the water pieces dirty as quickly. A resin spot does develop at the top of the female joint, but the rest of the piece IME stays fairly clean for a while. However the newer smaller tubes...
Wow, this is wild! I remember the Golden Bear!!!
I left home from San Fran with 2 friends headed to LA, we first got a cheesy cheap apt on Garden Grove Blvd, then another in Westminster. My friend had a 52 Chevy panel wagon for the surfboard and we would cruise 39 to the beach picking up the...
As did Jimi. We always used to say when asked . . . "you had to be there, man."
Meantime, at the Fillmore Grace and Paul were handing out Orange Sunshine like it was candy. Turned out that was just too much for some, particularly the uninitiated.

The optimum air flow is just when you reach the whistle. If you are pulling so hard that it shrieks, that is too hard. There is an unavoidable manufacturing tolerance in the diameter of the orifice, that is the source of the whistle variation in conjunction with the force of the draw...
I posted a set of temp readings taken with an infrared for the Cloud OG and IIRC (like @Stu, I'm getting forgetful) the EVO, too. That was the earliest days, you can probably find those posts in the first 50 pages or so of each thread. My readings showed how much variation there is from the...
I used whip vapes with water pieces for several years before the Cloud OG. Aside from the cleanliness hassle with the tubing (even with food-grade silicone), I can tell a distinct difference compared to an all-glass path. I won't let a whip anywhere near my Clouds, especially the lighter EVO...
Thanks for the thoughtful reply; I appreciate that. I've been using the EVO and way back before it the original Cloud (which I still have and is an even bigger hammer than the EVO), since beta for both. Lots of glass and many of the HT's along the way. I hear what you're saying about...
Thx a lot guys. Sometimes my old brain goes dull on me; of course there are the youtube vids.
I think we may end up waiting for some classics. The thin cans are not for us, we don't use oils, and my petite lady hits like a champ so she would prefer at least the classic size can. And the...
I've decided to kick for one of the current generation HT's. Since my beta Cloud I've still been using the IMO much better 1st gen tubes along with my Mobius pieces. (My daily driver is an Evolver HydraTree.) But now that the wife has expanded her pref from edibles to vaping, I think one of...
The EVO will bust your lungs. Mine is from the first production run, and it still performs flawlessly. Taste just as good or better. And btw, the extraction efficiency will save you $.
Not gonna happen. The heater is controlled in firmware. Note Stu's post following . . .
Exactly, great...
The vid posted by @newVaper420 is helpful. Personally I just don't notice that much taste difference between the current HT perc's, but then again, I have oldie taste buds so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Fwiw, my choice would be the Bomb, with it's mini-Mobius style perc --> better...
No offense, but "not if VXL goes out of business" makes perfect sense. The notion that the "only thing that got better was that the bamboo is more easily replaced" is a gross technical understatement. Please, stick with the law and stay away from engineering. :) My background is in...
Not if VXL goes out of business. The Cloud OG wasn't a viable business. As it is, appears that VXL just gets by with the EVO (which is likely why there hasn't yet been a portable).
