Silver Surfer Vaporizer

@ozzietoker

You've got a metal stem.

When people mention (14/14.4)mm or (18/18.8/19)mm they are referring to standardized scientific ground glass joints.

You'll cause some confusion referring to a "standard" metal 14mm stem . As far as I can tell they've all but disappeared from the US market.

The bongs we've got here in aus are pretty archaic by US standards, but they get the job done in a pinch.

A bonza stem is very similar to what @Tweak posted, not quite sure why you said it wasn't at first?

Anyways, I'd suggest you check out the glass 101 thread in the glass section, there's some good discussion in there for new entrants into the glass game.
I know all the terminology can get confusing/overwhelming at first, but you start to pick it up pretty quick once you get a grasp of the fundamentals.

As for what you need, a 14mm adapter just like at the top of this page will make a good seal with an agung stem.

With proper glass 14mm joints on the downstem, you can just jam the SSV tubing straight in there and make a seal, but the agung stem is a little bit wider than a glass joint, so you'll need the adapter.

Also, not to throw too many options at ya, but if you're purely gonna use your vape through a bong, I'd suggest the LSV over the SSV.
Just another lovely vape to consider

I'm on my phone right now so I can't do links, but feel free to pm me and I'll be happy to go through everything you'd need with links later today

Thanks mate I just started a conversation with u look forward to hearing from u.

See my signature.
All this time.. and the SSV with standard HC and Hand Held wand is still at the top.
I use many other vaporizers.
I have owned most of them.
I still have most of them.
The SSV is the only one on 24/7.. I lower temp at sleep time, and raise it back at wakeup.
I have higher tech Vapes, and more precise vapes, but The SSV is a rock whose vapor quality is always as thick as I please.
It is also one of the sturdiest and LEAST delicate of all Vaporizers.
Almost 3 dozen local patients in our local website have owned one for up to two years.
One has never been returned, or needed repair.

2 years isn't bad but I hope I get more years out of my SSV. I've had it for about 6months, in comparison I had a Vapor Brothers before that lasted 5-6 years. It actually still works as far as the heating element it's the glass that is apart of the unit and attached to the heating element that shattered from a drop.

I'm not sure if you meant my SSV.
The one in my Vape room that I have on 24/7 has been going since Nov. 2010.
More than 2 years for sure!

Also, didn't 7th floor have one plugged in and running in their factory for something like 7.5 years?

Really? If so, wow. Very ecofriendly and energy conscious of them -_-

The SSV only uses the equivalent of 60W at 100% power.

Nothing compared to keeping a HID security light on every night. Or even a 4 set pack of Florescent tubes (4 X 32W) that you see at every business.

Oh good, and the benefit of leaving a vape on is that they could diffuse essential oils and scents and the whole place would smell like heaven for 7 years.

 

[Vitolo]

Correct.
I diffuse a variety of essential oils 24/7

Stop motion:

 

[Tweak]

I need to get me one of those.

Loved how well oils worked with the EQ.

I swear there is a market for something like this. We have one that uses a 40W incandescent and it takes forever to get warm compared to the SSV and is very limited in heat generation.

 

[grokit]

Yep
That's why one of my ssv's is always on standby, gotta keep that wax flowing!

 

[MrCatsFather]

Hi everyone I have not posted here really ever... But was hoping someone could help... I was raising my heating element and pulled too far so 7th level sent me a replacement Heating Element... After plugging in the heating element there is a lose yellow cord inside and I do not know where it goes..? Can someone take a picture for me of the internals of their unit with the base screwed off?? Or tell me where the yellow cord goes... one goes into the plug in the heating element the one next to it is the that is lose... Please help (:

 

[fused420]

Hi does anyone here know where i can get some coloured tubing in the UK? Im getting sick of looking at this resin stained one i have in front of me! lol

Thanks

 

[fused420]

Or will ship to the UK..

 

[MrCatsFather]

Can anyone help.. Plz

 

[Vitolo]

Call or email 7th floor.
That would be your sure answer.

 

[grokit]

@MrCatsFather, I agree contact 7th floor, hopefully they can provide guidance.

@fused420, there is a vendor that had 7th floor/ssv stuff, they have been brought up in this thread but I don't remember the name. eBay.uk also has the tubing:

[fused420]

Thanks Grokit i can get the clear tubing over here no problem, it the coloured stuff im struggling to get hold of. I found some on ebay.au but the vendor did not reply when i asked if he would ship to the UK.

 

[Clunis]

7th floor will ship to the UK; I'm not sure what the cost of shipping is but you can get an estimate on their site.

Thanks

They should. Just try and complete an order on their site and see if shipping is available to your country That's what I did to test if they shipped to Australia And they do!

 

[fused420]

Thank Deja Vu and Clunis. Man do i feel like a dumb ass, for some reason i was under the illusion that 7th floor didn't ship to the UK! The postage is $20 though, so im going to stock up on supplies while im at it

I did the exact same. got everything that I will ever need from their store! What are you getting from ssv store out of curiosity?

 

[Oscar_Milde]

Vapestore.co.za will also ship SSv parts to EU

 

[Asieffert]

I am thinking to add an ash catcher before the jhook mouthpiece. Broke the original wand so i got a new reclaim that actually collects a good amount and is easy to clean. SCREW SILICONE AND PLASTIC, GLASS ON GLASS!

 

[Radio]

Only good things to say about Silver Surfer store so far!
Ordered the following stuff for my Arizer Extreme. 2 x 18mm SSV Elbow Joints (1 black and 1 blue) arrived just earlier! (new hose as well, fuck yeah! very flexible and soft. 10x better than the EQ hose that came generic)
Also got a blue glass / titanium herb-stirer which is great as well. Feels very strong and is an impressive design

Very high quality stuff, and the photos don't do it justice. They look phenomenal in the light!

They also threw in a key's chain / lanyard holder (whatever it's called) and some stickers. Very nice of them

 

[Raskin666]

Anyone else notice that the GG wand doesn't seem to cook as evenly as the standard wand? I am wondering if it's my mind or not, ha. I find myself turning the heat way higher than I do with the standard wand.
