I also like no timer better than a short 60 min one.
However in my case a missing timer is dangerous, when the unit is glitchy, and so could start overheating any moment...
Yes, the unit is not likely to start glitching and overheat when stabilized on green LED, but I'm still cautious as I've already seen at least one report of an overheat from green.
I'd be happiest with a timer anywhere between 90 and 180 mins.
Also I have two glitches that shuts off the heater that can happen anytime, even early.
Imagine heating up your EVO, getting a green light, putting your loaded ELB in, take a hit and get nothing because the heater is off, the unit is cooled down and the green LED is actually a glitch and the unit needs a restart...
...that sure is worse than a shut-off timer which at least tells you that the heater is off and than happens consistently and not randomly...

none of those problems are really that big of a deal its they are more like minor inconveniences, just a few problems that can probably be fixed by the company quite easily. I honestly dont know though, these problems could be really troublesome but to my knowledge they seem pretty simple.

Lucky you, I know I would use my evo even more if it wasn't for the timer!
I actually changed my ritual a bit to work around the timer. On days that I use it for hours at a time, I toggle the on/off switch every time I finish an ELB .
It's not very often that I go a full hour between ELBs, so that has pretty much eliminated the problem of going to take a hit and finding a cold EVO. No more having to keep track of what time the EVO will shut itself off.

Check nuggetry.com for affordable HT'sThat's too bad, but what I feared when I read your description of it. Only HT I own is the clear, standard, no-water mouthpiece. And seeing as how I just bought a Clear Matrix, a HT is out of the question for a bit.
Only tried the two cap method once, and it didn't go so well for me. It basically melted out and fell in my bubblerNeed to try it again and experiment with some cotton when I get back home.
Appreciate the info though!

FedEx just dropped off my repaired unit and my brand-new unit: I am all a-twitter. Back with the best. Yeah, it feels good.
Edit:
They didn't just repair it: they replaced it!
My new favorite flower combo: The Swagger Puck coupled with the Torus Hydrafoot 2.0. A stoney match.....

Just got my repaired unit back yesterday. Its great having my Evo back. Thanks to @stonemonkey55 and the VXL crew for turning my Evo around quickly.
So I have a 220v evo that worked perfectly, no overheating, no red/green issue for about 9 hours. The only problem is that the bamboo broke as the unit cooled down.
I don't know whether or not its worth getting fixed as it was seeming excellent but these units in general seem to be a bit of a miss.
What would you do?

I would read the thread or check your email. This has already been answered.
Personally, I like it so much I bought another one. I, too, broke a bamboo and the turn-around was amazing. I really believe this is one of the best vapor tools out there. I understand your feeling: the long wait (esp. if you were in the Indiegogo group) - but you know, some things are worth the wait in the long run. Still, waiting sucks.

Confused, aren't you supposed to get a new 110V unit soon?
No, I know I'm getting another one. But there was nothing wrong with this one except the glass (no firmware issues, overheating etc), so why not get it fixed and have 2?
I'm wondering if people think this one is likely to crap out and start being a dick or whether some of these 220v units were sound and fully functioning (surely some of them worked fine?). Because at a $100 repair cost and if its gonna act fine I'd be an idiot not to get it repaired.

TGIF! Two announcements for this lovely Friday.
International Customers, we have hired an additional engineering firm to help us resolve the 220V issue. Because of the length of time it has taken, we are going to send ALL of you guys 110V units (just keep your existing 220 whether it works or not), a 300 watt 110-220 converter, 1 EVO heat shield (3.2 mm neoprene that International customers will get FIRST), AND (that's not all) $50 in store credit (ELBs, VapeXNails, credit towards a HydraTube). When the 220s are out, you can keep using your 110V with power converter OR you can send it back to your local partner of VapeXhale and they can exchange your 110 for a 220. Feel free to email support@vapexhale.com if you have any more questions

Vape Critic has redeemed himself after posting his much more favorable review on the EVO.

@macbill @fluffhead How long was the turnover for you guys? I just want to have an idea bout how much time I will be cloudless. I miss my EVO...
This combo works great! This is the Dry mouthpiece and the Hydrafoot 2.o Very simple and flavorfull.
I think it depends on what's wrong. In early Feb (I think) I broke my bamboo. I sent it FedEx Ground: it took 4 days to get there, they fixed it in one day, and then it took 4 days FedEx Ground back. Maybe they fixed it the same day they got it. Round trip is at least 8 days for me.
This last trip back was for a far worse injury: this time the unit was replaced: they had it over a week: they probably were trying to figure out if it was fixable. Vapexhale sent me a new unit, as I mentioned above. Love the warranty! It has the same serial number as the one it replaced.

It's a pity that this Vape Critic guy, has faster accessibility than some of the regulars and people that really appreciated Cloud & EVO before, to the VapexNail.
I'm kind of surprised that at the end Vapexhale, needs to resort to this kind of guys to be seen by the noobs masses and general net consumer.
I don't know why IMO guys with dark glasses in reviews always seems untrustful to me. Maybe he has medical reasons to wear them or so...

It was a week from the time they received my Evo to the time it was shipped back. I can sympathize with what you are going through.

Initial testing has commenced and I have to say the VapeXnail rocks, and I don't even have the improved design. First hit was micro sized, I actually heated the nail for a sec to help melt/load the chamber, and received one really nice hit. The flavor on this was so pure, I'm afraid my DoYouDab is out of business unless we have a power outage. The second hit was larger, too much for one inhalation, and when I removed the HydraTube it was like a beautiful, vapor geyser, erupted/bubbled from the top. As I overloaded it, a slight mess was made, so it was time to throw the VapeXnail in my ultrasonic cleaner (I created a thread about them here) first in Simple Green then in a test tube with ISO, and it came out almost mint. A test tube makes a great holder and cleaning vessel for the nail as seen pictured below.

I always just thought he wore them because of the lighting he uses to film his reviews. Could just as easily be his gimmick, though. As far as the products go, he is still a paying customer and personally I think it's a good marketing move in the end since he's the first link that comes up when you Google "Vaporizer Reviews". I'm just glad he's been properly informed because that Cloud Review painted a really flawed picture on the company. He's rated the EVO so highly, it is on par with his beloved Volcano (both given 95/100). I don't take his word as gospel, but he does do a good job at explaining things and even helped steer me towards the Pax which then lead me to this wonderful community.

I believe he lives in a non-medical state that's why he wears the glasses. It's still illegal in most places.

What good will a new bamboo do on a unit that has high probability for problems? They didn't even figure out what the problem is.
I would wait until the new 220v units are out. Could be weeks though. Only then send your EVO for repair, because if you do it then, besides fixing your bamboo for 88$ they might also be able to figure out what was wrong with the previous units and adjust it for you to minimize chance for the bamboo to crack again.
