Discontinued VapeXhale Cloud EVO

[way2]

Does anyone use slide right or something similar on the Cloud/EVO's joint?
I've got some Burt's beeswax around here somewhere would that work?
My LSV WPA gets a little stuck every now and then. Never thought of it happening with the EVO.

As an engineering plastic that transcends the common wisdom of traditional engineering plastics and approaches steel, VECTRA® LCP can be said to be the epitome of next-generation advanced engineering plastics... Besides possessing a mechanical strength in an entirely different class, LCP has a unique attribute in that the thinner the product becomes, the greater the mechanical strength.

I've never had a severe stick with my Cloud, the closest I ever got was when I put it in a frigid downstem and tried to pull it out right away because I forgot the ELB. After I gave it five seconds the downstem expanded enough it pulled out just fine. If you get it stuck, you can get it out pretty easy by rocking it instead of turning it.

way2: If the EVO joint is warm (OG were), it will hardly lock into a female joint. Unless water-locked or forced (both is forbidden and obviously dangerous to the bamboo).

When the female is warmer, its opposite. I get usually locked joint when I put a warm HT on a hydrafoot. The female HT joint is warmer so its very likely to lock. Thank god, they're both thich glass, so in this case a lock isn't any danger.

I can see how the reduced weight makes the evo the best cloud for inverted use. But I can also see how that lack of mass makes things a quite top-heavy when using the evo with vxc's own hydrotubes.

If the shells are easily interchangeable, it would be really cool if a heavier shell became available as a future option for those of us that have a collection of these hydrotubes and prefer to use their evo in the more traditional manner. Because for these users, a lower center of gravity would seem to be highly desirable.

I'd prefer just a light EVO unit with some kind of stand that locks the unit in place on the table for hydratube use. Making something like that actually functional would be tricky, but a man can dream...

I wouldn't add beeswax or slideright to the cloud joint. I also have never had a stuck joint with the cloud due to the heat. Only way I could imagine that happening is if there is some water residue in the female. Always wipe the female down before sticking it in!

personally i love the light weight and would use slide-right if i thought there was any chance of joint-lock. a little work on the regular means dropping the broken glass risk dramatically.
and i don't even have a working model yet

am sure the lightweight is a little more of a risk w/ fanatic tubes or older OG tubes or even straight neck, but the glass shouldn't really be left on the unit for longer than the hit. that's what the h-foot is for.

my two cents

3 thing's I'd like to note first.

today I put a elb cap that was loose and when I lifted up my tube, the cap came off and stayed inside the tube! It came out with my pick though. it was a surprise.

2n'd I Love the detachable cord! I store it on a shelf with confidence my dong will never know it down. and 2 I have a ton of spare PC cables. so I put one here by the pc and then I have another over in the tv room too! I also have a 3rd I can put in my travel case for when we go on adventures. that's convenient!

oh and 3rd. I have a dead foot design tube stand that is serving a great purpose in the living room, so I don't even need to shuffle that around either.

I have a theory about this. There is only so much active THC on your herb regardless of which vape you use. The cloud is designed to cause turbulence in your herb in the ELB though bamboo restrictions which exposes more surface area to consistent hot air. The sub does not appear to have this type of turbulence and there is more metal exposure for some conductive heat transfer. I speculate the properties of metal (specifically heat transfer) is why there is a lot of sublimate that builds up. The vapor from the sub is depositing onto the metal a lot more than the vapor from the cloud depositing on glass. This is my theory as to why the Sub gets so much sublimate and why you might be going through herb faster. With the cloud you are breathing it in but with the sub you are depositing more of it on the metal.

It is just a theory based on some research.

When I think about your logic it also seems obvious to me! thx yes the sublimate is where a bunch of my goodies are going. (not that I mind, I LOVE sublimate!!! I'd buy it if i could ) but since getting my evo, I have not gotten around to doing a side by side comparison quite yet. I will once I cam more comfortable with the evo.

on a side note, I do recall Enrico saying that there was turbulence generated at both the intake's entry point and then when the vapor passes through the atomizer. I bet we are talking similar, but not identical physics.

so far my glass hasn't gotten too dirty so I think you are right about the sub leaving more deposits on the inside of that atomizer tube. I've seen 2 drops of oil come out of my sub in the last 2 days and i've not even used it! they flow slow!

I think you are totally right on your points there, but one more thing I wanted to reiterate. the sub operates at one temp and to dial it up or down requires you to wait a 2-5 min for it to get up to temp. "Aint nobody got time for that!". So I just dump after 3 hoots and repack a new bowl. I would wager that if I took the Sub abv and put it in my cloud I'd pull some more from it and make the abv darker. I'm learning when to stop though. not getting too baked anymore at least

I am getting good clouds for sure. but the subs are larger I am finding. one could also view that as more wasteful though!

@weedmon does the EVO fit in your Deadfoot stand? I want one but have been waiting to see if they would need to be modified for the EVO.
TIA

 

[Sinclue]

EVO fits my Deadfoot stands (4) I actually have one screwed onto the arm of my couch...makes one hand removal and replacement easy. Otherwise I seem to wind up having to use two hands with either the DF or the HydraFoot and then you have to do something with the HT while you are doing that!

 

[VapeNStone]

One con I noticed is that light turns green way to fast.

I seem to recall SM or Troi saying that green was the first vapor producing point, but that 10 minutes warmup was optimum...there are so many threads where people are commenting its getting hard to track these quotes down...sorry.

 

[VapeNStone]

Yes it's gotta be because I usually crank it to max and then when it turns green I'll hit it a few times for the low temp hits and then it just climbs in temp on its own. Then once it's fully warned up I usually then it down to noon.

 

[mvapes]

That's how I ran mine VNS - then when the cloud plus came around there was a bit of chatter about premature green lightulation. lol

I used to (don't have my evo yet)crank my fucker up to like 1 or 2 o'clock and then cool her down from there.

Are there plans to update the VXC EVO design, or any future revisions?

I'm wondering if I should preorder a unit ASAP or wait for some things to be changed around?

I wish I had known about the Indie Go go i would have loved a $100 off

They havent fully released the EVO and your thinking about waiting for EVO V2? Only you can answer the question if you should order ASAP or not. Like every piece of technology you can wait for the next best thing or you can buy it now and enjoy it.

I know this is quite subjective but the truth of the matter is that our enclosure is made of Vectra, one of the highest quality, most heat resistance plastics on the market. While we understand that the lightness of the material could make it feel less than substantial, we really wanted to reduce the wait of the unit so that there is less stress on the glass when it is in an inverted position.

Is it not Zytel anymore?

Quite perceptive. The standard Clouds are Zytel, the Limted Edition enclosures are Vectra. Imo, what I said about Vectra can be repeated for Zytel.

I'm not asking about the next thing that comes after EVO.

Almost every vape I can think of has gone through revisions and minor tweaks while in production. I see no reason the EVO couldn't undergo a revision or two while it's still in production. Yes it's not unheard of for revisions to be made even before a vape is fully released, it's happened before.

I've just heard conflicting things and wondering if any minor revisions/tweaks are in the work or if it's gonna be the same EVO for the entire forseeable future.

Sometimes manufacturers know a revision might be coming soon and are willing to share that information hence my question.

 

[PoopMachine]

we really wanted to reduce the wait of the unit

Then why am I still waiting??!!

/ducks

 

[stonemonkey55]

Prof Vape is working on a pretty cool stand for the EVO. For anyone that remembers the CloudStation, this will take it one step further.

 

[BlazedRunner]

This just in. Cloud EVO works great with bubble hash. Bravo!

 

[Rosstopher]

As a guy who primarily lurked on this site for the better part of a year I knew that sooner or later I'd have to get my hands on a Cloud. With all the research I've done up until now, I was convinced that this was the unit for me. The Indiegogo campaign was the tipping point.

Now, like 2 Paces, I'm not a medicinal user and I'd be lying if I said I required daily usage. Predominantly recreational, I was never a fan of smoking. After stumbling onto the PAX (which lead me to you fine people) I was amazed at just how much better vaping was. No longer was I ignorant to the subject.

The Pax has been my only true experience up until last night when I opened up my very first plug-in vape, The EVO. I believed in the hype but had nothing to compare it to aside from my Pax so to say that it met my expectations would be an incredible understatement. I literally had no idea what I was in for. This thing is nothing short of amazing. It's simplistic, efficient, and even fun to use. I found myself flying off of only 2 draws at 12:00 with the ELB 25% full but I kept going just because I was enjoying myself so damn much. I was in another dimension by the time I had called it a night. The flavor and extraction are truely out of this world. I really look forward to trying out all the herbal blends they have to offer.

I feel both spoiled and grateful to have contributed to VXL for this brilliant device. Some people are looking for PS4's and XBOne's, but those awaiting their EVO to arrive are in for something truely special.

Now if only I can get my paws on one of those hoodies and/or t-shirts.

Glad you decided to quit lurking. Going from the Pax (or similar model) to the EVO will definitely impress.

Wait a minute. If this is true doesn't that mean the the green light is useless? I thought it was supposed to turn green when it is on that temp that you set it at? Is that not the case?
