Tested. It's not the Ceramo.. It's 100% the cap itself causing it. Mine whines/hisses as well. Sounds like whiney air movement. OG cap does not do this. I removed the cap and held it with a pair of tweezers by a tooth and inserted for a quick second. As soon as the heater engages the noise comes. Materials must be different inside.. maybe the heater plates are not the same. now I want a new cap as well. It should not do that.

Ah yes that is most likely it. I don't think it's defective just the different material. I sure prefer titanium though.

Same, but they did email me about the missing super capacitor.
My chip is more of an imperfection on the edge that touches the mouth. I can't really feel it with my lips, though.
I agree with a lot of the other recent feedback.
Agree.. me too. but I wonder if they did something different inside with the welds.. not sure how all stainless would resonate like that. Maybe a couple less heater plates or smaller in diameter (factory screwed them over) and they vibrate now, or not welded down with the same process as the titanium cap.. Only Camouflet can answer this or it's all speculation, not gonna break open the cap to look, lol.. but they may have a case with the factory for poor quality or cutting some corners here right? It's not unusual for these china factories to give you great production samples then cheap out on things in the full run, ya?
Good question.. Just tested. nope, dead silent.
somethings up with this new batch of caps. hope factory didn't pull a fast one.. few heater plates, rock, few plates, weld, lol. china special. gotta open and look.

I haven't experienced the screech or the spinning caps. I'll try to loosen it up or something. Gonna try some light hits with the ceramo. See if I she will grow on me. She's got one foot out the door as of now. The sc is a dud for me too. Doesn't make that much of a difference from the regular cap. Just takes longer to cool. Counter intuitive for my needs. Some people may like it. Does it have it's own thread too? Super capacitor! More mass! More energy to operate, more money... same effect! Fuck it, you'll buy it anyway.
Edit:
Ok I slammed it with the super cap for about 23 seconds on the wand. Nice big fluffy hits... but so hot after the 1st hit. Scrambled for the j-hook and the bottom of the hook got pretty warm.
Then I did the relaxed slow sesh. Nice tasty light hits... then when the fluffy vapour came so did the heat. I was surprised how many hits I got.
With the ceramo it's either White wall the glass piece, or light whispers.
This is what makes the cxl so versatile. You have these ends of the spectrum and a nice middle ground of big fluffy, tasty, COOL hits.
If I can find that happy medium the ceramo's a hit. No squealing or spin.
Also this thing is dead sexy and feels good in hand. Love the weight.
