Yo!

Now that looks more like my type of rip.

How much material did you use?

Im really digging the glass airpath.

What size is the ceramic heater connection?

More Glass on glass SSV fun:

LSV HC with long transfer wand

GG HC wth LSV transfer wand

Can the SSV heater bend at any angle or are those the only two options?

 

[Vitolo]

18mm but in any case a simple adapter works and wastes only an inch (14 to 18 and visa versa..... male to female and back around the other way again!)

Can the SSV heater bend at any angle or are those the only two options?

the SSV heater is at 90º and is seen on my orange unit.
The other (black) SSV has an LSV straight HC with an LSV transfer wand.

 

[blackstone]

The SSV with Standard HC and Hand Held Wand NEVER suffers from this as you can freely aim the heat everywhere/anywhere you wish DURING a hit with simple Hand Held wand adjustments.

And the Spherical ground glass HC and wand is the same or similar, extremely even ABV with a flick of the wrist and a stir here and there, as long as you don't push it with temperature or draw length.

I need to get a wand!!! That's perfect!

Im really digging the glass airpath.
Can the SSV heater bend at any angle or are those the only two options?

Also, just saying, don't forget that 7th floor do their own version to mate with the GG Spherical HC.
It has two bends that might help cooling and positioning,
and it looks like you could swing the bends around for even ABV without moving your head much.

It's bound to taste real nice with all glass! But water is so good and I'm lucky I don't have much issues with whips yet!

Hey there! There shouldn't be an issues with the ceramic looking cracked. Easiest way to tell is to turn the heater control knob higher and lower. The element should dim when the power is reduced. If it does? Whammy!!! If it does not? Contact our customer care reps at customercare@7thfloorvapes.com. We can get that unit repaired.

Love the direct transfer wand examples.

Weird story I herd in Customer care:
Guy calls in to ask me what the tubing in the package is for..... I explain what the tubing is used for. He further explains to me that I am crazy, and the unit wasn't designed to work that way. (you think I would know)... I ask how he likes to use it.
He explains to me that he is disabled, and has only one arm. He has wired his unit into his vehicle so he can use while driving. And the best way to use the unit is to hit it straight from the wand. So... The visual I get of this gent driving around with one arm, hitting his unit straight from the wand scares me. We do not recommend doing this. We are always excited to learn different ways to use our products. Please keep the pics and vids coming.

Ride the Wave!!

Thanks! She seems to be working just fine

As it turned out my wand broke inside the heater cover.when i cleaned the ssv to put it away i found the ends of the wand down beside the heater post so must have broken before it fell out.....Ok so just for anyones future reference.i sourced some wands with 18mm and 14mm joints on the same wand.i bought 10 seeing as they were only cheap and to be honest they are not all the same size BUT none of them were too big and even the smallest wand accepted the 18mm eq baskets without being too tight.the joints are the standard length so not as long as the ddave wand but they dont have be,i always thought bringing the load closer to the heater was pointless anyway if you need to turn the temps back then whats the point.one big plus is that they fit the heater cover better than the ddave wands,his are FAR too tight.so tight that mine broke in the heater cover through sticking. https://www.grasscity.com/uk_en/cle...-5mm-male-18-8mm.html?nosto=frontpage-nosto-3 there is a link for said wands if anyine in england has ever fancied a ddave mod and didnt want to pay the shipping and customs. And here is a link for the baskets https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=arizer+extreme+q hope this helps anyone wanting to try the mod in the cheapest form i could find.

I dont think the silver surfer will ever drop off the top ten.i purchased a flowerpot and the only reason its my DD is because is because the only glass parts are the bubblers that we couple yhem up with.the flowerpot forum wont have it but the ssv beats the flowerpot for flavour allllll day long and with a .1 load the flowerpot wont beat it for cloud production either. Lots of love for the ssv here.

A little tip for all you owner's that want to make your SSV to look like brand new.

I found that using Meguiars Ultimate Synthetic Polymer Car wax works incredibly well! It never dries chalky or white like regular car wax. It also removes minor scratches and restores the showroom shine to the entire unit including the base.

Here's a link to what I'm referring to:

https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G18216-Ultimate-Liquid-Wax/dp/B004HCM9H4?ref=ast_p_ep

Works great on cars too!!

I've got the shotgun set at 12 o clock with some Moby dick, watching Jaws! (1975).
Holy shit the flavor and potency are unreal beyond explanation.
I was tired and my water tool needed a clean and maybe my whip and wand, but I pushed past the tiredness and just got it done.
Was even going to wait till tomorrow to crank it up.
Oh it was so worth it, I sometimes very respectfully think of FC'ers like @ataxian who first pointed out to me the huge difference that some regular water tool cleaning would make.
And just now the flavor is actually OMG, I'm going to hit it again.

Yes I call the SSV the shotgun lately, maybe it's the size of the single "barrel" wand or the effect it has, straight to the dome (also combined with the power of things like Moby Dick, ugfhh!)

I have to try and get some pictures up here, thank you 7th Floor for designing such a pure, user friendly power house of a vaporizer!
I will also describe some methods I use to reclaim from and clean the whip part if anybody wants to learn!

Yup, I've had mine for over ten years--so long I don't remember exactly when I got it. I've replaced the wand and mouthpiece each once (glass breaks), but the unit is still going strong. That ceramic heating element is amazing. I don't know how many times over the years I've forgotten to turn it off, leaving it glowing for hours. I'm on an ongoing search for a reliable portable with good vape production, but the Silver Surfer has never left me wondering if I should shop around for another desktop.

Maybe it's da collection part?

The SLIVER SURFER IS ALL U NEED REALLY!

 

[SunnyHours]

Guys! Once you try a Flowerpot, you won't EVER look back!

I've been spending a fortune on Cannabis with my SSV...now, since I've had my FP, I use at least a Fifth (5th) of what I did with my SSV...

Though I do like my hits potent and heavy hitting...

I dont think the silver surfer will ever drop off the top ten.i purchased a flowerpot and the only reason its my DD is because is because the only glass parts are the bubblers that we couple yhem up with.the flowerpot forum wont have it but the ssv beats the flowerpot for flavour allllll day long and with a .1 load the flowerpot wont beat it for cloud production either. Lots of love for the ssv here.

My experiences are the complete opposite...Funny LOL

 

[Flow]

Hi @SunnyHours, Some mods allow very small loads on SSV.
I do make bowls with the same amount of material in SSV and in dynavap (Omni XL) on middle bowl setting.

I do take fewer hits from SSV thought… but both bring my at the same point with the same amount.

Guys! Once you try a Flowerpot, you won't EVER look back!

I have to agree with @Larrytargeteye
I love using the flowerpot too, but it does require more devoted space, and has more items/parts to contend with. I use the FP dry, through a tube, but it has best function with water resistance.
Not everyone likes using water.
I am not a water fan myself. The smell of vaped water is unpleasant to me.
I also want all constituents of the bud in me, not left behind in a filter.
While I can extract all the goods from the material faster with FP, I find
the SSV to be much more flexible in terms of how much you want delivered, and how long it takes to get there.
You not only have the heat rheostat, you also have user control, of slowing breath for more heat, and speeding breath to cool things down.
I use the FP daily... that says alot considering how many vapes I have.
But I use the SSV 1st hit of the day, and last.
I sit before it for half of my daytime Desktop sessions.
I respect your thoughts on this @SunnyHours
As for running through herb quickly, my meds last a tiny bit longer when I "ride the wave"....
but sometimes about the same.

Hi @SunnyHours, Some mods allow very small loads on SSV.
but both bring my at the same point with the same amount.

With no mods I can do micro loads in the SSV wand.
Using the vapor brothers mini wand, I can with the SSV do a single crumb and get vapor.
Still with a standard HC and hand held wand I can do as small of a load as I like.. a tiny pinch...
or I can load it up.

Love the SSV!

So lacking in the original idea department I copied the movable screen from the E-Nano over to my 7th Floor vapes using the Ddave stem. It works OK for those micro doses with zip drag, which is one of my favorite things about 7th Floor desktops.

 

[7thFloorVapes]

Hey Guys! Alex here. I hope everyone is well! I love working for this company and seeing everyone's ingenuity and innovations. Thank you soooooo much for sharing.

PLEASE KEEP SHARING! We love seeing ALL the LOVE shared in FC!

We are giving away an SSV at our friend's page ELEV8presents.com/giveaway including water pipes, other vapes, and much more! Check it out.

I've had my SSV since late March or early April, and was very happy with it. My very happiness was a problem , as my adult son who was living with me was abusing me, and did something to my SSV. Unfortunately, the heater core doesn't work right. It looks scratched up, doesn't heat right, and doesn't hold heat. It clicks on and off, the light works, the electrical cord seems ok. What else should I check? I spoke with Tommy at 7th Floor (a truly lovely man), and know I can order a heater core replacement, or send it in. As everything else seems ok, I'm leaning toward ordering the replacement. Mostly because packing and shipping seems overwhelming right now. My concern is, I don't know enough to be sure it's just the heater that's a problem. I've read to page 193 on this thread, and meant to finish before I commented or asked questions, so apologies if this has recently been covered. I'd love to get my SSV working, want to do it reasonably and responsibly, but I'm not sure if sending it in is wiser, or should I just order the core? I'm a bit overwhelmed , but don't mean to be lazy if sending it back is best. There has just been a great deal of damage to my person and personal items, and it's more confusing than it should be . If I order the heater core, are there any suggestions as to anything else I might want to order , specific to the repair, or just in general ?

 

[howie105]

If you are up to the level of lamp wiring you can probably pull off the heater replacement, look around the net I seem to remember there being a few heater replacement videos. The on again and off again nature of the problem seems similar to a problem I had with the rotary dial on a used LSV, not saying that is the problem but its worth a close look too. As to additional suggestion on use, what are you looking for out of the vape that you arn't getting now? There are pages and pages of information available and repeating it all would take lots of time, focus helps.

Great question, Howie 105. Right now I want it to work. I was thinking along the lines of, aromatherapy dish (worth it?), what's a good amount of spare tubing to keep on hand (I imagine it has to do with usage, cleaning and so on, but I don't have a general idea if 3 ft or 30 ft is more of a range to aim for). He poured acetone in my tubing, so more is needed, and I'd want enough for a year. Is spare glass recommended? I have GG, and I'd say it's fine for me, but I have only been able to use the SSV a handful of times. Water pipe adapter? Ceramic disc worth It? How many screens does a person need? I have glass, so that isn't urgent. I'm thinking along the lines of making sure the SSV works, and anything that might make it fun again.
I do intend to finish reading the thread, and don't wish anyone to have to repeat anything, just trying to get an order right so I can move on to replace other damaged items.
Thank you for your reply.

 

[howie105]

aromatherapy dish....I am a barbarian so I never used one.

what's a good amount of spare tubing to keep on hand...Your right it is about use and maintenance, I have been using the same silicone tubing for over a year and a half but I clean the tubing daily.

Is spare glass recommended?...Oh baby, I am a big time serial glass killer so I have at least one backup of every glass piece I use (heater covers, water adapters, stems bubblers, etc) but most folks get by with far less.

Water pipe adapter?...You bet, look at an 18.8mm male to male adapter is a must have piece, two are better as it can fill the bill of the wand as well as a connector to the glass piece.

Ceramic disc worth It?...Don't use them so no real opinion.

How many screens does a person need?...Keep them clean and don't take them out of the glass and the stainless ones will last for years. However brass screens get replaced a couple times a year on a daily drive Da Buddha.

I'm thinking along the lines of making sure the SSV works, and anything that might make it fun again....Look at the DDave mods (https://www.ddavemods.com/store/c3/7th_Floor_Vaporizer_Mods.html), they make a number of adapters, screens and wands for 7th desktops so there is a lot of interchangeability between kits. The parts are very good for load reduction as well as general use.

Don't worry about asking too many questions, responders on the board are glad to help. Good Luck, hope to talk at you later.

Madri-Gal, just yesterday I boxed up an SSV and sent it to 7th Floor for a repair. The hassle involved was the post office line but other than that it's not a big deal. My advice is to find a box and some bubble wrap and just mail it to them after it's cleaned up a little, this way when you get it back you'll know for sure that it's right and ready to go, and my experience with 7th Floor is turnaround back to your door is about two weeks. Please let us know how it transpires and good luck.

Thank you for the suggestions. I had all of Ddave's mods, as I bought for my Arizer Extreme Q. I have to replace that as well, so DDave is next on the list .I need to replace the DDave Mods, not the Arizer EQ, I don't think. My stash was also tampered with, so I'm on bit of a T-break. It could be the Arizer EQ has trouble. Kind of scared to look, but SSV thread , so I will focus here. Very much a fan of Ddave, and glad you recommend him.
Jeffp, good to know it was so easy to send it in. It might be best just to have it all looked at to be sure. I just want to not worry, so that might be the ticket, right there. I was overwhelmed thinking I needed the original box, but I guess I don't. Duh.
Messing with me is one thing, but messing with my vape hurts.

It's really an easy deal as long as you can find a box and bubble wrap, which is easy for me because I live a few blocks from a shopping street so at night this stuff is always outside for the grabbing. Leave the wand and hose at home, no need to send the hemp bag either. They will tell you to enclose a note in the box to describe what's wrong with the unit and you'll want to add your shipping address to that note. I think repairs are 25 flat rate including return shipping. Shipping it to 7th Floor cost me 13 yesterday. I think you should consider going this route. One less thing to worry about and it's scoped out by the experts.
