Camouflet Ceramo XL

[Cacahuates]

Adding an intercooler worked well for me. Have a look a few posts up.

Did it make a significant difference from the cxl?

That's a tough one... I think there maybe a wait until there is an intercooler solution. The cxl intercooler maybe be tricky to get in/out without some tools because the head is attached. Unless you want to take the screen out?
That ball option looks brutal... but maybe it works and it's tested.

If you really like it on a water piece I'd keep it and then get a cxl down the road, if I realy liked it! It's hard to recommend vapes.

I love the cxl. Once you dial it in (not hard) it's smooth big tasty hit town. Vapes are super subjective and very use case by case based. I want a big nasty ballvape and water pipe but that doesn't work for me at this point and time. I need small footprint, easy come and easy go. Quick, big, cool, tasty hits.

Maybe these latest pre-orders work for some, but they were anticlimactic for me. Moving forward I'll be very hesitant to jump on any future products from Camo without waiting to see how they play out.

I can see why they stipulated no pre order cancellations now.

No worries, luckily I’ve got some great glass to cool it. But the whole point of getting this for me was to have a simpler setup and something fun to just sip and hit natively while I chill on the patio.

You think it’s worth selling and getting a CXL or should I just try adding an intercooler?

you totally can hit it native like that.. just cut back on the heating times between successive hits if it's too hot.. will just take more sips to finish it (when i say sips it's still 7-10 second slow draws).. need to experiment until you get your groove on with it.. there is a slight learning curve

been using both this and cxl native after adjusting timings (less heat time needed for ceramo).. even the CXL with the quad bore isn't as cool as something like say the Venty and even that can get pretty uncomfortable if you push it long enough.. unless you have a really seasoned throat of steel not sure if 1HE is really wise native.. some can do it tho..maybe if I was still smoking analog cigs (packs a day!) I could pull it off

I think you're on to something with the light sips and reduced time. I attempted Lee's 5sec method and the 1st couple of hits were ok, but that 3rd was a wall of heat. It's cool to see the vapour down the stem inbetween hits.

So they doubled fucked up.
They sent me a chipped ceramo.
And they didn't sent thr super capacitor.
Whoever handles their packaging needs to be fired.

If you only want one device I'd swap this one for the CXL, it's what you're looking for. The Ceramo is decent but feels a little ill conceived compared to the CXL which is pretty seamless and versatile. I don't regret getting the Ceramo for the pre-order price but I won't be buying any extra balls or mouthpieces for it since the CXL performs well enough as is.

Edit: Can someone else with both compare the regular camo cap from the Ceramo with one from the CXL? It looks and feels like the quality of the metal on the new one is a little lower/different. I'm also curious to know if the camo cap that came with the CXL makes the whining noise like the new one does since mine didn't.

Can't compare as I don't have the CXL but the vapor was cool enough for me.
