Question.
So, once my EVO is heated up for about 15 minutes at 3:30, regardless of where I turn the knob, the light stays green if I increase it from 3:30 to max. As if that once it's at 3:30, it can almost instantly change to max temp. It won't go red as if it's increasing temp. Does anyone else get this?
Yes, I find I can stay within the green within an hour (roughly, this changes based dial position, extreme jumps are easier t'word the end of the knob range) of the current position. I theorize that the Cloud is constantly analyzing the thermal mass, and the knob position is based on the current thermal mass, plus the instant output of the heater. Once the Cloud has gotten up to a certain temp, say 3:00, it now has the thermal mass built to either:
1 output at the current knob position with the given thermal mass with moderate heater power required.
2. output up to 1 hour
lower of current knob, with either no or low heater power.
3. output up to 1 hour
above the current knob, with either max or near max power.
If you think about how the EVO can be used unplugged, you can start to think about how the heater/thermal mass combo work together. If you have a given thermal mass and then you cut the power, I believe vapor output will be whatever the knob position was, -1 hour.
So, 3:00 unplugged acts like 2:00 (initially) due to a built up thermal mass, but no power from the heater. But this same thermal mass, given help from the heater, can raise a 3:00 thermal mass to 4:00 vapor output.
