Good catch moodswing. I checked the old forum as well, and I didn't specifically post on the day I preordered, but I talked about my hydratube choice on July 28th 2010, so I at the latest had my preorder in by then!
...for the record, I was sn#50 and was ALSO order #189 (two weeks ago) so don't pay attention to the order number per se as it's not any level of reliable indicator.
Also, I would add that with regards to ice, it seems to be a bit of a nonissue IMHO. As per the manual, I fill my HT to just above the slits on my Vertigo, and add one of those elongated types of crescent shaped ice cubes that refrigerators tend to make and I'm off to the races. I've never had a "close call" with overflowing and quite frankly, the ice is barely melted after having worked through an ELB. Maybe your ice isn't as cold as mine?
Is it safe to say that the water in the SGW will get warm quicker than the vertigo due to the recessed joint? is it an issue?

I'd like to see the HT's next to each other for an easy to compare choice.
Out of curiosity, how did the buyers already satisfied make that choice?
I really like the one that's got the internal female connect, although essentially they all do the same thing..
Moar Pics!!!!
E2A - Over 200 ordered, around 50? delivered so far?? And some cats ordered nearly 2 years ago????????????????????
The water in the HT doesn't get hot. I've drank it many times after hitting it.
Does it work like an edible when you drink it?? I might try it some time...The water in the HT doesn't get hot. I've drank it many times after hitting it.
Just got the email to order my Cloud and Vertigo HydraTree!!!!! I don't recall the date I pre ordered the Vertigo on, so I can't help you guys out with figuring out where they are.
God damn what perfect timing! Just got an oz of organic Acapulco Gold, Blue Dream, and Aloha Diesel. And my birthday is on Sunday! Fine herb and the Cloud are going to make this a very memorable birthday. Actually, it will probably make the memories pretty damn hazy.
I also pre ordered a cloud with the SGW shower dome... expect lots of videos and a side by side comparison of the two hydratubes, after I get the SGW. That will probably be a while though, as I pre ordered the SGW a little while after the Vertigo.
Thanks SM and VXC team! Soon the dream will be my reality! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Here's a quick clip of the Cloud with my SGW showerhead.
I just thought because of the recessed female joint and the fact that the surrounding says HOT on it, so I assume it's pretty warm at least and since the HT is flush it would warm the water. In contrast the vertigo has the protruding joint so it wouldn't have that flush contact with the hot steel surface. No?
Neither HT has flush contact with the steel surface (unless you mean the tiny contact at the rim of the ELB?). I would expect the SGW joint to have a small but, as a practical matter, inconsequential warming effect on the HT's water. It will probably depend on how high you set the Cloud's temp plus how long you leave the HT on the joint. I suppose if it's set on, say, 200C and the SGW is left sitting for, say, 5 minutes, then there will be some accumulation of heat at the HT joint which will subsequently move through the glass and into the water. But every time you lift the HT to clear and assuming you have some pause between hits, the heat will dissipate a bit. My experience with the glass pieces I have is that the movement of the warm vapor itself through the water has a warming effect; but if I use cold water to start with it never gets beyond about room temperature. The Vertigo would experience heat transfer less than the SGW, but again the effects and difference should be negligible, and the other features of the tubes one vs the other are much more important. My
It does occur to me though that if one uses ice, besides its cooling of the vapor, any melting would serve to keep the water below a bit cooler. A bonus!

. . . I don't think it has any effect, but how the hell would I know when I am drinking it after finishing off an ELB?

Did anyone else who registered their warranty get reply back?
Yup, it came from bryan@vapexhale.com and it went straight to the junk mail folder.
