Silver Surfer Vaporizer

Send it to 7th floor, they'll check it out for you and give you an estimate

Guess we'll have to- I just can't believe nobody's opened and/or fixed their own. Ah, well.

I just got my SSV rainbow zen and the thing is gorgeous. There is one thing that's scared me though and I hope it's adjustable or would have no effect. The small white colored heating element thing is slightly crooked. Is that adjustable or do you guys think I got a bad unit? It does look like if I turned the glass slightly it'd line up better it's got screws in place though.

 

[grokit]

Ha! I never knew it was called rainbow zen,
that's what my ssv#2 is!

The position of the heating element can be gently adjusted,
but if it's not touching the glass and working okay it's not necessary.

I have ran it for 30min but not tested it had to step out. So you guys are saying if it's slightly to the side it's completely normal as long as it woks, is any of your guys like this?

There is also another thing that concerns me, again not sure if its normal or not but it's got something loose inside dangling around if I shake it...is that normal? I will probably send them (vapeworld) an email later they are usually good it's just sending this thing back and forth costs it's quite heavy.

Element slightly to the side is the norm.
Have had dozens of units pass through here, most are a bit askew.
(Can not advise on that sound.)

 

[Breathemetal]

I thought mine was defective as well when I first got it due to the ceramic stick being crooked. Luckily it wasn't! Ssv is a monster. Never had a problem

So what do you recommend I do about the sound. I mean for the price paid hearing a bolt or hope not glass tumble around inside isn't what you want to hear. Could I open up the bottom screwed base to see what the deal is or is that advised against? Would vapeworld send me a prepaid label to send this thing back to be looked at it (given I just bought it out the box)?

 

[vorrange]

Try to gently nudge it to the side and see if it stays there. That worked in my Buddha.

 

[Vitolo]

I would feel safe opening the bottom, by unscrewing the screws.
No need to tear it apart or even open it all the way.
Just open it a crack---
You have a ring or washer floating in there.. someone was incautious/lazy in shutting the unit after they soldered, I believe... and they left a piece.
Let the piece fall out, and tell us what it was.

Can someone confirm the Outer Diameter of the wand? ...hose end.

 

[vorrange]

No way Hose!

 

[Xchadb]

Just a fun cotton candy mouthpiece

 

[fiarrhea]

sweet, did you blow that? have you made anything else ssv related?

thanks Vitolo, but contacted them before opening to see what they thought and they said to just send it in. Hopefully just a quick fix like you said a washer missing or something

 

[fiarrhea]

Wow what a difference a clean screen makes, the hits are even better than I remember!

Also, I just tried using a dry bong with the ssv, also awesome!

 

[Xchadb]

Nah, first shot with this... only thing left to try is a heater cover or custom whip...

 

[Tweak]

Hah, I forgot how quickly the screens would get dirty. I would pull mine out every day and clean, always requiring a bit of ISO.

Nice! Would love to hear how it turns out if you do attempt. I have a standard Heater Cover that I would love duplicated, I don't know what it is about it but it hits like a beast.

(posting this here because its technically a SSV item, not a DBV)
Soooo I got myself a fatty (GG for my DBV) wand because ... well no good reason at all.
I have the thing right in front of me and no clue how to load it. The screen is in the same position as with the regualar wand, so my usual suck-to-fill routine would get me just the same ammount as a regular wand.
The only thing that would make kinda sense to me is to put the herb in the spherical part, but this way the screen would be kinda pointless and I guess I would end up sucking the herb out of the wand.


Seriously confused over here

 

[Tweak]

fatty (GG for my DBV) wand

This one?

The screen should go right here ---------^ right above the colored spot.

Are you saying its ^ here, right past the GG spot?

 

[Herr_Dampf]

Exactly, maybe should have taken a look at the picture before asking stupid questions.
Well...lets try to get it back there.

 

[fdotcombustion]

Does anybody know how long vapeworld usually takes to repair and send a unit back? The wait is killing me, waited forever for DBV to be in stock, then had second thoughts and send it back in for SSV. I got that then as you guys saw above had aomething loose inside, back it went and the waiting continues....argh.

 

[tuk]

^^The time taken will probably depend on if they open it themselves or have to send it back to 7th Floor.

 

[fdotcombustion]

That's me, it's expensive where I'm living so a few bucks on EQ screens could translate to hundreds or even thousands of dollars in the long run. Works such a treat in the SGG, a totally uniform vape (of "intense" heat) across the whole surface of a tiny amount of herb. Hardly need to worry about priming or even stirring. Luvin it

Hey @Tweak is this the EQ elbow mod you did that folks are talking about to conserve? Does it require a certain wand type (have the standard GG if that matters)? I'm trying to see what I'll need to try it and where to get these screens. It'd be nice to see a vid perhaps taters one around?

^^The time taken will probably depend on if they open it themselves or have to send it back to 7th Floor.

I thought where it was sent was where they'd do all the repairs on hand and ship out? If it's gotta take another trip some place else that'd suck. It arrived to their returns dept this morning so well see

I've found the standard works best.

Link to screen mod is in my signature, but if you have them turned off. SSV EQ Screen mod

Just need a Extreme Q dome screen or similar screen.

I think you will love it. I keep hearing the discussion of bowl size, my mod lets you choose your bowl size.

I have a pretty decent collection, CRZ, EQ, and a PAX, but I continue to go back to the bong for daily usage. Those thick lung busting clouds keep me coming back. EQ bags come pretty close, but it takes a fair amount of flower to get a nice thick bag. Does the SSV offer big rips with less bud than the EQ? How quick is the heat up? I've seen 10min ideal, but what is the bare minimum?
