I was setting up some of my older glass and noticed my original Swagger Glass Limited Edition HydraTube sitting on the shelf. My first thought was that I never use it and should probably sell it.
Then I took it down and hit it on my EVO and my next thought was, No Fucking Way!!!
The EVO is a solid performer that is in daily rotation.
Most of the time it is used inverted for the duration of the hit only.
I still dream of a digital EVO...
Nice, and great story!
I concur as I used a hydratube this weekend for the first time on the EVO with some flower and it was a revelation
(I used the Helio dry mouthpiece for the first few terp draws before changing to the hydratube). I waited so long because the graphite Precision honeycomb hydratube I selected was on backorder
.
I tried the same set-up again this afternoon with only flower and the results are definitely top notch; I first start with two to three draws on the Helio dry mouthpiece with fresh flower at 11 o'clock. The flavor and terps are unmatched. Then I stir/shake the ELB, change over to the hydratube with the EVO at 1 o'clock on the dial or higher and the conditioned vapor is so much softer on the esophagus and lungs
. Plus the vapor is denser
. This hydratube tames vapor and produces the big clouds with minimal effort. Keep it slow on the draw, the EVO is that efficient
. It's been pulling big clouds draw after draw at the higher temp (still sub 400F) and has no problem keeping up with the hydtratube conditioning. Excellent and as
@ataxian mentions, CIVILIZED.
The EVO just keeps on impressing me and I'm still trying new things with it. It's a very flexible vape.
For on-demand fans, the EVO can be easily treated like an on-demand vape. Simply pull out the ELB between draws. I do that, Seibo recommends that method and the it's excellent. The flower is essentially only heated by convection, just put the ELB back in the EVO and wait 5-10 seconds and take another draw. There's no big wait, no conduction going on and I find this method the softest for vapor production
. What's everyone here doing? Pull the ELB out between draws or leave it in? Let us know.
The new graphite Precision Honeycomb is the lovely hydratube I'm using, here's a link to a picture again if interested

FWIW
@lazylathe I was going through old posts in this thread recently and came across one mentioning that Seibo Shen, the driving force with VapeXhale, has said he's against digital temp integration in the EVO and it wasn't coming. He called it needless electronics and less reliable than the analog temp dial setup. That was a few years back fwiw.
I gotta say I agree with Seibo; the analog temp dial works great for me and I always like added reliability. I still find I can get an accurate estimation of temperature with the EVO using one of the insulating sleeves that shows temperatures by position on the dial. For example, I recently vaped some flower ending at about the 1 o'clock position, which on that sleeve temp scale is ~375F, and there was still some green in the AVB. That's pretty good agreement in my experience with evaping reports and other similar evapes. Besides, with all the different evape designs as well as different temp sensor integration, I never really use the same temp settings from one type of evape to another (similar, but not the same). I've observed and experienced different optimal temp settings across portable evapes, as well as with the EVO and the Flowerpot. Digital temp integration isn't the end-all-be-all, though it looks nice. That's just my opinion, YMMV

Enjoy the Sunday eve with the EVO
. So far it's great 
, and strong 
... and smooth with the graphite Precision honeycomb hydratube (no coughing). Two draws with no toast or burning taste at all 
.

. Let us know what you choose, why, and what you think when you get it and how it compares to others. I found the following VapeXhale videos helpful in explaining the hydratube options. After a bunch of thought and reflection (and changing my mind a few times) I went with the Precision Honeycomb for my first hydratube. I enjoy the dry Helio mouthpiece for flavor and wanted something different but also middle ground in the available hydratube line-up. The Precision Honeycomb is a Goldilocks hydratube option (it sits mid-way in the VapeXhale line-up for conditioning); it has more vapor conditioning than the Precision Turbine as well as Hydrabomb, and it has less conditioning than the full size Classic hydrabtube options. I decided not to get one of the largest (Classic) or smallest (Calyx) hydratubes for my first water piece. By going with a middle-ground hydratube, from there with some use I'll be able to figure out which way to go for a second hydratube purchase (if I want another 
. (For those following me, this was more impressive than the microdabs last week
