I feel like I am the only one that complains about this but are we ever going to see a replacement for the ELB that is more durable? I appreciate the VapeXNail has a "luxury" option which is the quartz nail.
Would anybody else invest in a better quality ELB if it was available? I have complained many times in the past that ELB's wear out too quickly. Everyone always suggests that I keep them clean, maintain them and be careful while emptying them but they still wear out too quickly.
My assumption for this is because when I ask people how often they use their ELBs per day, it is easily 1/4-1/5 of the amount of sessions I do per day. If I do not have more than 2 or 3 (or god forbid just one) ELB available they get gunked up very quickly and begin to disintegrate.
IMO something with more structural integrity would be great so you can be a little rougher about emptying them and re-using them.
I won't lie sometimes I get lazy and tap on the ELBs from the bottom, but the vast majority of the time I use some bamboo picks to loosen up the ABV inside but they only last a couple months of regular use with meticulous cleaning, diving them up into batches for long iso soaks, etc
It's the only HT I've used so far, but I like it. Not a lot of drag or resistance, quite smooth. Mouthpiece fits my mouth well and I like it. Also easy to clean.
I sold my showercap HT because I felt it did not provide adequate filtration for me. The vaporblunt hydratube I owned before it I liked more since it had slightly more drag to it and definitely cooled the vapor more.
If i get another HT i hope to get a recycler HT or something more exciting like that. but i have been enjoying inverted Evo-ing much more as of late.
Just a note to people worried - I've had my Cloud EVO since I think January, and it's been rock solid. Knock on wood.
I do have the occasional no auto-shutoff and then the bamboo is glowing red hot, but other than that, it's amazingly perfect.
Me and two friends had to return ours all at once. we got ours within a couple months of each other so it was a little worrying.
