Discontinued VapeXhale Cloud

[Progress]

Even though the water in the hydratube does absorb heat (as is seen in the decreased temperature of the vapor inhaled and expedited melting of ice), I feel that more of the heat transfer would come from the 300F + air traveling through the water with diffusion-enhanced contact than the minimal contact between the hydratube, ELB & GonG (and the non-existant contact between the hydratube and the metal around the male GonG).

In theory, if the water gets warm/hot, the glass around the water will feel warm/hot. IIRC, the Cloud shut off 3-4 times during a recent session, but the hydratube never felt hot (or even warm).

To me, the logic behind a discussion about the water in the hydratube heating up from the contact with the glass, ignoring the hot air being pulled through the water, is like the discussion about actives being lost to the water while ignoring the larger portion lost upon exhale.

Toke it easy and enjoy the clouds.

but not everyone understands thermodynamics like you obviously do.

Wait, are you saying you have 3-4 hour sessions?

 

[Purpl3_Haz3]

Yeah, I too am curious...3-4 hour sesh's? or does the cloud turn off when it gets too hot? I am confused. lol

 

[theamigo]

no it turns off after an hour of use

 

[lepstadder]

Great advice whoever said it about spreading oily concentrates on the underside of the cap of the bowl, works great

Had it set at 3 for concentrates and packed some herb and hit it without remembering to turn it down and MY GOLLY what a head changing hit

 

[Vapinghole]

The water in the HT doesn't get hot. I've drank it many times after hitting it.

That's fucking awesome. Straight up.

 

[Giant Robot]

That's fucking awesome. Straight up.

Bah - that's nothing! I'm Kirk Fuckin' Douglas. When I finish my session, I drink the water, and then...I EAT THE EZ LOAD BOWL. Now THAT'S a high!

(I've contemplated eating the HydraTube as well but I'm waiting for StoneMonkey to catch up with the pre-orders first).

Holy Shit!! I'm still kinda new to all this, and y'all are blowin' my vaped mind! Effin A! Can't wait to eat my VXC.

Am I going to have to put into the manual, please do not eat ELB or HydraTubes?

You are selling these to anyone. You have to cover everything. Like don't use your Cloud to nail nails et cetera.

Just got shipping comfirmation, scheduled delivery date is the 21st, happy times

Question: When we got that link to get our place in line I signed up and chose I believe the showerdome and got my place in line. I got no confirmation email so wasnt sure if I really signed up, so I used that page again and re-went through checkout, choosing the other tube. And I then got a way later place in line. I am curious if I actually secured my earlier spot even though I later redid the sign up thing. I know it was a mistake on my part but I'm kinda worried because I believe the first number it said I had was like 198 or 288 or something and my second one was like 600+ I think. I wish I wasn't so vaked back then to remember if I did the process correctly.

Happy times indeed! Please let us know how UPS customs/brokerage fees turn out, as I believe this may be the first Cloud to cross over the Canadian border?

Nice to see more and more getting their preorder emails!!! Pow!

I wish I remembered (or kept the email) when I preordered! I think it's possible to email VXL and find out if your preorder has been confirmed. Would suck to wait for the email invite only for it to never arrive.

 

[Nosferatu]

I just emailed them because now I'm worried I'm not in line. So did 50 clouds ship or 200+?

I try to be patient rather than desperate about finally getting my preorder fulfilled, but I have a confession. Last night though I abstained after a few days of heavier use and dreamt that I got my package in the mail and went down the stairs to grab it and open it. Of course it was raining and the package itself was sealed very poorly, and so I worried about damage. I knew when I woke up (at least once) that the whole thing was a dream. I also know when it does come that it'll be wrapped much more professionally than in my dreams.

PS: In less than a week I will be celebrating my one year anniversary of preordering.

 

[momofthegoons]

The Cloud is shipped bomb proof Carbon; no worries there! There's so much bubble wrap I can't imagine anything could possibly get broken.

I too wondered the same thing, as far as when/if I had place my pre-order....vaked much?!

I just used the support query on the VXC website...I got an email back, within a week or two tops from Bryan @ vxc, with a copy of my pre-order info; tube selection, reasons for purchasing a vape, etc...

Good luck, and if you get another confirmation, don't delete it!

lol thanks! Naw, i'm not gonna bother them, and this way it will be more of a surprise! I know it was about a year ago though.

Got the chance to try some very nice bubble in the Cloud today. Used a couple different methods but one suggested by a savvy guest was a lot of fun: we put a thin layer of the material in the top of the ELB (i.e. the cap's concave space) with the bowl packed with some fresh herbal material. While the hash was aided by a good stir every couple hits or so and placing ground hash material inside the ELB is probably a less fussy methodology, it tasted really great and vaped evenly.

Obviously this works well with the Hydratube and would be a little riskier with a piece which required the VXC to be turned upside down. It was also really great to just throw the hash in with some ground herb and puff away.

One of the neater parts of the "test" was pulling the HT off the unit and watching the hash bubble/melt. FWIW, the hash vaped very nicely with the dial turned way down (tried a few hits a little higher at the 9 o'clock mark as well). I know people want really high temps. for concentrates but I don't think its necessarily the only way to enjoy them with the Cloud (or in general for that matter).

 

[Vapinghole]

Am I going to have to put into the manual, please do not eat ELB or HydraTubes?

Most likely. At least in my manual.

 

[jackstraw62]

when i do bubble i put some herb in the bottom of the elb with the bubble on top. works well with either the ads stemless or the ht at the low temps(9 o'clock). I call it the "forever bowl"

Offhand I don't know of another thread with this much entertainment value. The excitement is palpable. Comedians everywhere. And, hell, we've only just begun. Just think what it's gonna be like when there are hundreds of us with Clouds . . . as it is, a lot of us are practically living here.

Yes the entertainment value of this thread toatally makes the wait worthwhile....wait a minute I completely lost my mind for a minute, it doesn't make the wait any less painful.
