How do the two devices differ? Is your log a traditional one in that it's just on at a preset temp that you can't change?

My enano is fairly new so it has the built in dimmer in the cord.
As for how they differ, its mostly strength. I would compare the enano to a one hitter and my ssv to a bong. The taste is great in each, they are both convenient, just the ssv is way more powerful.

Do you mean old and new lsv units or ssv as well? My current ssv heater cover is standard glass and has the collar and shim fixing. So does that mean i want the longer lsv heater cover to work with my ssv?

Maybe you could look at different heater cover wand combos. I like the ground glass and the spherical best. I found the difference fairly dramatic.

@shredder I use my NANO and love it.
The SSV I use everyday since I got the spherical ground setup.
I love this as well.

I use a log and a ssv for different reasons!

I got my Ssv recycler combo yesterday. I got a standard silver on silver with the pictured recycler in blue 14mm and yellow/white ground glass, It really works great with it,This thing is EXACTLY the pure beast i was looking for.


I said no messing around and loaded .30 dry .16 wax and slowly killed it with the recycler. I don't think any Ssv owners will question why i didn't post about this yesterday, It really is everything i expected and then some, This is a much better choice for me over the Eq. I will probably be getting a Super surfer as my next bag vape.

Okay...there's three ways I can help you guys out with buying 7th Floor products at a discount. At the end of the day, it's about what is more convenient/better for you.

1 -- you can go to their site and use the code 'stickstones10' and get 10% off anything they have, even blems! (not working for the sidekick yet).
2 -- you can click the link in my signature and use the same code 'stickstones10' and get the same 10% off. When you use my link they give me something as a thanks. Use the code either way...no pressure!
3 -- you can order straight through me and I will place your order direct to 7th Floor for a drop shipment. When we go this route I can give you better discounts. So if you don't mind messaging with me instead of placing the order yourself on their website, you will do better price-wise.

My preference is #3, because I'm a vapor nerd and love talking with you guys about stuff. But 7th Floor and I realize that's not for everyone, and I still want to be able to offer you guys good deals. These vapes kick butt and I'm stoked to be able to help you guys save some money getting them!

Hey yall, is the Super Surfer discussion going to go into this thread as well.

Or will it have its OWN dedicated thread (or does it already exist and I just need to keep browsing?) :p

nvm I found the thread :p

Just scooped an SSV in great condition with ground glass, extra wand, 2 mouthpieces, a 14mm WPA and an aromatop!
For only 100$ :) Craigslist FTW
Anyways, I was wondering about the go-to method for water pipe hits. is high temp + fast inhale better, or lower temp + slow inhale? Slow draws seem to combust way too easily almost regardless of temp. I had a few AMAZING hits with an ELB cap on top of a M2M adapter, using the SSV inverted on my D020D, but it's too finicky and breakable to be consistently used.

It will depend partly on your water tool, and your preferences. I use a fc-187 and draw the same as dry hits, but I do draw.longer.

I would like to note that i find ground glass hooked to water with a 6 inch hose to be a bit harsh for me, But i am able to dry vape off the standard cover and a E-nano stem very comfortably. I really like how a Hc change does so much. I will most certainly be getting the oil kit, Lsv Hc and wand and the spherical kit. I just have to decide what's next.

If you enjoy using your surfer with an enano stem you may want to look into a 'Vapor Brothers Standard Whip' used with a basket screen. This will give you what you are getting with the enano stem with the difference being the Vapor Brothers Standard Whip works much better with the SSV standard hc than the enano stem. I found doing this I can pretty much duplicate the vapor feel and efficiency of the enano, it creates a very similar vapor signature.

I might have to give that one a try, Speaking of basket screens i do have a set up for the Ground glass. I use a 18-14 M throw the basket in 18 hook the 14 to the hose and there ya have it. I think it work's better on the SSV than the Eq.

Yeah that method really does get great extraction. I wen't a little too far mixing dab's in with my dry at first and fell asleep mid session once, It was my bed time session but i didn't quite make it to the bed at first.

We are still ironing out the wrinkles with a 7th Floor discount for you guys and here's where we are now...

-no more code at checkout.
-click the link in my sig to get a 10% automatic discount without dealing with me.
-private message me to put together something that gets you a better deal.

Thanks and holler at me with any questions!

Id be willing to bet that the SGG will make vaping through the bong a little smoother than the GG - the SGG is deeper and has a little more headspace than the standard wand. (Or the GG)

I recently went from the standard to the SGG and I have to crank the temp up slightly. It hits way differently now.

I've tried all 3. The ground glass needs a lower temp, especially lower than the standard set up. And in either set up the "smoothness" can be subject to the temps, the grind and dryness of the herb, and the water tool itself. And I've found, after extensive field study, the ground glass set up works very well with water. But I do like the sgg as well, it's very nice.

How would you describe the difference?

As with the GG setup, the hits with the SGG are much more 'predictable' but they seem to take a longer and slower draw than with the standard HC. (And of course this is due to the less restricted/targeted airflow)

TbH, I almost didnt like my SGG setup when I first started using it, BECAUSE it was harder to inadvertently combust, and I didnt have to pay as close attention to my draw.
I would say its akin to the difference between a manual and automatic transmission. The 4/5 speed can get you there faster off the line, but is subject to grinding (if you miss) can be choppy if your clutch control sucks (etc). And the auto will be (mostly) just a smooth, consistent, and gradual progression. (Predictable)

They both have their merits, and honestly I like them both for different reasons.

The standard HC is like my old VGs. I am usually the only one that is good at hitting it (and actually enjoys it) without burning it. The SGG is a better 'sharer' wand and it has grown on me. Your draw is more consistent, and you run less risk of combustion (in my experiences)

I agree. The Standard is the most powerful and requires more attention to detail. The SGG is more consistent and easier to operate because the GG seal is so easy.

Are you swapping the HC or do you have multiple SSVs?

Have you found one to need more stirring? The way I use the standard and work my way around the bowl, I don't stir until the 3rd or 4th draw. Haven't used the SGG setup since the HC broke, :(.

Nope, I have my one SSV but I did change out the HC retaining unit from shim to tension bar.

And I find I need to stir the standard (or at least be more conscious of how I hit it) than I do the SGG.
Like (we) said - the SGG makes it more 'mindless'.

My GFs son has the GG setup on both his DBV and SSV - He just added a super to his collection as well. :ko:

How did you break your HC? Id guess that my wand would go first in a case like that.

I load a single hit / bowl into a GG elbow joint & basket gauze, so no stirring required as the bubbler ensures full extraction in one go, the AVB is always light and powdery, no lumps at all. I have never been able to get the same results with any other setup, as they allow too much cool air in due to the differences in the efficiencies of their seals compared to the almost air tight GG setup.
