My Mobius quest . . . Clear Reti, Ion Matrix, Clear Matrix, 60t
These are all really wonderful pieces. Each is unique. I'm in love.
The 60t with that stereo matrix is a work of art, very sleek. Extremely smooth action, great stacking, perfect can size. But there is a little drag. As @jam has posted, with the stemless design you have to sorta pop the surface pressure, then it purrs freely. It's mostly noticeable when compared to the dewar style bubblers, which are all literally drag free. And I'm not sure how much extra the stereo provides when used for vapor. Nevertheless, it sure hits big comfortably, and the diffusion is incredible.
I can see why the Ion is so popular. Completely effortless, easy to handle, incredible matrix diffusion, and the big base is great - with a CloudBuddy, the Cloud can balance easily and safely. This is my piece for sipping, and sessions with the wife or close friends.
But my favorite is the Clear Matrix. It's even
more completely effortless than the Ion. With the Cloud, IMO it definitely pulls more vapor more easily than it's little brother. I think the secret is the big bore of the mouthpiece. It's just amazing to not really be pulling, more like just breathing, and watch that can fill with milk. But . . . the can is big - twice that of the Ion. Volume wise, about mid-point between the 60t and 65t. On a thick pull filling the can, my
old lungs thank me if I exhale a little before clearing. One other thing - I'm not sure of this yet - but this piece seems to bring out the best in the Cloud: The extraction is amazing, the ABV thoroughly dark brown.
The Clear Reti is even prettier than the Matrix. An inch shorter, different flare at the bottom, genuinely beautiful perc. It also hits effortlessly, the difference is of course in the action, with there being a soft gentle chug compared to the fizz of the matrix. Apparently many prefer it for concentrates, so it's fantastic as a flowers/oils piece.
I can't keep them all. I've found exactly what I want and need, in the Ion and Clear Matrix. I will have to find good homes for the Clear Reti and the 60t babies.
