The only tube I use without an adapter (and it's because I dont have the right adapter yet
) is the Mobius 65t. It has a heavily weighted bottom
and a 90 degree stem with just the perfect amount of space to hold the cloud in the joint and have the cloud stand by itself upside down.
Even though it is completely stable, I have trained myself to always help to hold the cloud even in this case. This helps take some of the extra weight off which could cause stress on the joint. It's not very likely it will tip over from the weight (it almost feels like this is a tube that was made with the cloud in mind) but I would hate to have an accident.
As Pappy said in his videos:
The adapter PROTECTS the tube's joint (and probably the cloud's as well) because it can be inserted and removed at the proper angle so that you avoid stressing the joint. This happens when you are pressing it up against the mouth piece or tube when the stem is too close to fit and seal properly.
Also, with an angle adapter you are able to switch the direction that the cloud is inserted into as well. This is especially helpful when you are passing the tube to others in different spots in the room and the cloud is plugged in in a central location
Have a cloudy Sunday friends!!
PS- Just scored the right adapter!
