Discontinued VapeXhale Cloud EVO

[shaolinmilk]

Set your unit to the halfway point on the dial(12 or 11) and toggle the switch about 5 or 6 times. This should reset your unit to the factory preset. Try this

When I set it to the halfway point, it feels like it's pointing closer to 1 O'Clock. When I turn the knob, I assume the halfway point is when it "clicks". Is that correct? Also, is it safe to leave the Evo on? Is there a time limit or some kind of restriction before it gets dangerously hot? Right now, I don't like the fact that I have to keep turning it off, then on, then wait for 10 minutes after it's green for the heat to fully soak before I can start vaping.

I'm coming from a Mighty (a portable) and so far this is not living up to my super high expectation.

I've been playing with my new Evo and I noticed if I set the temperature to about 2 O'clock, it'll be green, however once I turn the knob a little to the left (Between 1 and 2), it'll stay red and won't turn green. If I turn it to the left or right after this, it'll turn green again. In addition to this, sometimes I'll have it set to 2 O'clock, it'll hit the temperature and stay green. After a brief moment or so, it'll turn red for a little bit before turning green again. Does this mean it's not able to hold the temperature correctly? The ABV I get isn't completely even. There will be light spots, dark spots and really charred looking spots. Is it possible that I have a defective Evo?

I find when my EVO turns green then red and back to green it's because it overshot the set temp and takes a minute to come back down to temp.

Are you giving the EVO a chance to cool down to see if it turns green when you turn the temp down? I will sometimes blow through the bottom of the bamboo to help it cool down quicker.

I like to take my elb out after every hit and either tap it or blow through it. I get very even ABV this way. That is actually one of the things that really impresses me about the EVO is how even the abv comes out.

There is no need to heat soak. I turn mine on, set my temp,grind some herb, load the elb, and by this time the EVO is usually green and ready to go. I like around 1-2 or just a tad past the notch on the dial. I get big rips this way. You can leave it on but it has an auto shut off which kicks in at about the 1 hour mark. Yes the halfway mark is the click you feel.

I want the nail buddy. Another item vapefiend have never stocked. Thank god for jojo. I'll see if he can do something similar/custom version.

Still find it odd for such a small business to turn away custom like this

 

[shaolinmilk]

Thank you to all those who have helped me. My biggest gripe so far is my 12 O'clock position on my Evo being off centered and the uneven AVB I've been getting so far. Later when I get home, I'm going to test it out some more to see if I can get a more even distribution.

Also, I have to give a big shoutout to vapexhale. They sent me a turbine hydratube because the HydraBombs were out of stuck. Once they're in stock, they're going to send me the HydraBomb and I get to keep the Turbine as a gift. Sweet!

 

[KimDracula]

IME, a bit of a finer grind and a couple stirs/shakes of the ELB will help with a more consistent ABV color (if you're stirring you should remove the ELB from the joint; I usually remove it a couple times and give it a couple gentle flicks with my finger to mix it up).

 

[inferno22]

Hey everyone,

Quick question. So I'm going to get a cloud evo once all the sales are announced just to make sure I don't miss out on a good one. I'm trying to decide between the HydraHoneyComb and HydraBomb tubes. The most important thing I'm looking for is smooth vapor. I really don't like coughing. The second most important is little draw resistance. So with that in mind which Hydratube would you all suggest for me? Thanks for any help!

 

[stickstones]

@shaolinmilk - make sure you aren't over packing the elb. The ideal load is about 1/3 to 1/2 full. Over packing can lead to uneven abv.

@inferno22 - sounds like you would like the turbine or bomb best. if you end up getting something you like the price of and it doesn't need a coupon code to get it, use 'stickstones' and get 10% off your order.

This is what I do, specifically the flicks.

I don't do it all the time, and I actually have uneven AVB all the time with my EVO without doing it...but I most definitely overpack. I'm loading the ELBs 3/4 of way, weed is almost touching the concave part of the lid. The center is most definitely darker then the edges if I don't flick but in general it all looks vaped so I rarely care. Center dark brown, edges typically a shade lighter.

You have your answer as to why it's uneven.. vapes need airflow and the overpacking hurts that. And ime you waste material. By packing smaller amounts you get more out of those amounts then a 3/4 filled elb. I don't go any higher then halfway. Even abv every damn time.
Evo

 

[shaolinmilk]

I only put about a pinch inside the ELB (0.1g - 0.2g) and the colour's aren't even. I guess I'll give it a flick after every draw to see if it works. Thanks!

Evo

Yeah Ive packed less and less in the last month of ownership, it is now my default. Micro dosing with Evo for 1-3 hit bowls is wonderful

 

[SavedByTheVape]

my girlfriend (self proclaimed fem-canna-MacGyver) has been using her vapexhale very strangely lately. She starts by grinding herbs super fine, taking a tiny 0.1-0.3 pinch, pressing it in parchment paper with a warm press (under 200F), and then taking convection snaps by dropping these little herb-wafers into vapexnails. Despite fervently fucking combustion on a daily basis, I'm a big fan of adventure and experimentation. Regardless, I was kinda weirded out by her strange evo utilization at first but I must say it was by far the tastiest and smoothest milky combustion I ever had the pleasure of trying (obviously as a product of being extracted via pure convection). el EVO's capabilities are endless ayyy (TIME FOR ANOTHER FASHEMELTER!!

 

[Erixk557]

I like to take the oil/herb reclaim of my mighty when I clean the top and I use it in the nail and I get great and tasty rips that's what I believe she's doing @SavedByTheVape

Scored me a hydrafoot 2.0 bomb edition from Vapefiend. $220 shipped after currency conversion. We'll see how long it takes to get here. Hopefully this keeps GAS at bay for a while.

Oh I am aware that the overpacking is what causes the uneven coloration, but its never something I'm worried about I'm sure it's more efficient in smaller doses, but I have other things I use for smaller dosages. For me personally, I would rather load it up fat and chief away for awhile. If I want 2-3 hits, I'll load underdog stems.

For what it's worth, everything tastes Kosher throughout and I'm pretty high when using it. When it's kicked, it just won't churn out anymore vapor. A stir/flick would probably get me another hit or two, but I'm usually high enough that I don't think about it/care.

Totally with you though that if I took that ELB I fill between 2 ELBs it will give me more, product isn't a huge concern for me though and I just kind of like loading em fat. The uneven AVB is a product of that, but I don't really think I'd be able to eek much more out for total even AVB.

Will try smaller amounts later though

Looks like ya got the last one. Sold out now.

Glad I picked mine up when I did!

It's a beast, enjoy

I'm jealous! I must not have converted it right!!! I didn't get it because it was too much!- math teacher always told me to check my work!

 

[c76man]

@Slow Draw McGraw Vapefiend shows prices that include the VAT. When you go to check out and ship to USA, the VAT is removed. I think the VAT was something like 18%.

 

[spincut]

So, I'm considering leaping on a Vapexhale, finally! Although with massdrop now gone for vapes (yeah, just found THAT out :/ ..), it would be nice to still get a deal.

Seems like the holiday package on their website still available for a few days looks pretty good? Only issue is I can/could never decide on which hydratube to get. This time around they're offering the Turbine, Hydrabomb, and Hydrahoneycomb. Seems like they have lest than they used to too and streamlined a bit? Or were the older ones better?

Anyway, I only have a couple days left to make my decisions, so if anyone could give me some hydratube tips, and of course anything else I should know (like if an update or better pricing/sale is upcoming) please do let me know.

*And after reading that the three new tubes to choose from seem to have suspect quality (the hydrabomb alone or all three? Never was able to figure that out), now I really hope to get some feedback before friday. I hate to keep putting off buying this piece (as updated worser parts come and older quality ones go out of print), but I seem to keep missing the good deals and only have ones that come with the really bad Hydratubes (this happened a few times on Massdrop).

I really want my first go ahead on this to be stupendous and not fraught with poor glass, so yeah, if anyone can let me know what's going on, or if maybe I should wait for them to get those Hydratubes fixed and go at a future sale?

 

[Socks And Sandals]

Well guys, I got my EVO back yesterday, but I'm ending my TB tonight to try it out and make sure I still don't have the light problem that @shaolinmilk mentioned. His problem sounds exactly like what I was experiencing. After the set temp has been reached it will stay green but sometimes It will turn red again before turning green again. I sometimes pick my EVO off my table stand so I'm wondering if picking it up and moving it has anything to do with that? Anyhow I'll let you guys know if the problem has been solved.

The good news is... I had them adjust my 11 o clock knob position to Noon. I just hope it's true that I still have the same spectrum. Before with the 11 o clock unit I only had access to the 6 and 4 low and max settings. Now that it's been changed my new min and max settings are now 7 and 5. Hope that new max setting of 5 o clock is the same as my old max setting of 4 o clock because I didn't have a unit that combusted before and I'm hoping I still don't have one now.

Also what day exactly do we have to order something from the 12 days of Xmas sale? Do I have till the end of the day on the 25th or is the 25th the actual day it ends? I want a new sleeve, the Nailbuddy, and I'm praying for either the Quartz.... or Boro Nails to go on sale again but I doubt it. I know I'm taking a chance of things being sold out, but I really want to wait and order everything at once.

...and make sure I still don't have the light problem that @shaolinmilk mentioned. His problem sounds exactly like what I was experiencing. After the set temp has been reached it will stay green but sometimes It will turn red again before turning green again.

That sounds just liek a little temperature overshoot on the heat up. Nothing bad or serious, just the unit tried to get on your temp too fast.
To confirm this, you can just turn the dial a little bit to the right when it goes red and that should turn it back to green.
That's just to confirm what's happening, if you just wait a bit, it cools these few overshoot degrees down back to your set temp.

I sometimes pick my EVO off my table stand so I'm wondering if picking it up and moving it has anything to do with that?

I don't think so. Can happen randomly, but you can also easily make it happen:
When you turn the temp down a bit when its heating up and almost there, it would stop powering the heater immediately, but the heat up is already going up so fast that stopping now doesn't save it from overshooting.

Before with the 11 o clock unit I only had access to the 6 and 4 low and max settings. Now that it's been changed my new min and max settings are now 7 and 5.

Yes, that's how it should be.

Hope that new max setting of 5 o clock is the same as my old max setting of 4 o clock because I didn't have a unit that combusted before and I'm hoping I still don't have one now.

This dial issue is just because of the placement of the dial head on the dial. The repair probably just was that they took down the head and mounted it back correctly. That's doesn't change the real temperature spectrum at min-noon-max. Don't worry. As for combusting, I believe it is possible at max temp on full elb and when you pull ridiculously slowly for a prolonged time. But except this crazy case, the EVO never combusted on me when it was used normally.

lovin' my EVO this morning with some wake n' festively baked rosin
fingers crossed my nails last till next year lol

 

[shaolinmilk]

Yesterday was my second day with my Evo and the "flicking" technique definitely made the AVB much more even. My thoughts about the Evo has changed as well from my first day impression. The AVB is solid, however I still think it doesn't extract the herb as evenly as the Mighty. The only reason the Mighty AVB comes out more evenly is because of the fact that it takes more time to extract the herb (roasts the herb more slowly) whereas the Evo extracts it in one or two draws (extremely quick extraction). With a quicker extraction means a punch of vapour straight to the brain. It's very similar to a light dab hit upon the initial hit. The taste of the Evo is 100% without a doubt much more clean and smooth than the Mighty's through water. The Mighty's vapour was much more harsh and I always thought it was super smooth before trying the Evo. When you take a draw from the Mighty, it feels like you'll cough up a lung and when you take a draw from the Evo, you'll certainly cough, but you feel it in your head more because of all the damn THC it can extract within a short amount of time.

With all this being said, the Mighty without a doubt is the most powerful portable IMO, and it can certainly hold it's own against one of the best desktop's today. If you vape at home and would like to take out your gadget from time to time, the Mighty is what you go for. If you stay at home all the time and have another unit for portability, the Cloud Evo is what you want.

Yesterday, I gave the Cloud Evo a 9/10. After my second day with this beauty and working out all its quirks, I'm giving it a 9.5/10 as of now.

Not yet knowing what the HydraHoneycombs are like now, it's a bit hard to say, but I'm going to assume they look like the others do now. If you find out they're not then I'd say go for that one. If we are dealing with just the new fat-bottomed shorties, I think I'd recommend the Turbine. I feel like the function of that one is the least affected by the change in the dimensions of the can and placement of the mouthpiece. The HydraHoneycomb can also function pretty much like the Turbine if you want it to, by keeping the water below the honeycomb, although it probably stacks a little more. From what I've seen, I think the HydraBomb really needs more room. Others may disagree, but that's my opinion.

This is a good comparison, another thing to remember is how the Mighty also has conduction to make the load vape more evenly (and will cook out a load without hitting it) that tends to make it harsher and more even, and hit you in a different way. Also not the place to discuss, but it is far from the most powerful portable, the most powerful session constant cooker yeah, but it doesn't have as much raw power as on demand convection portables for sure... But back to the Evo, there can be a bit of radiant heat from the hot glass, why removing the ELB in between hits can help, but its not necessary really though I do it sometimes myself too, overall its a negligible loss imo
