I'm using angel soft and yes just the joint fits into the center. I was just throwing it out there if people were tired of propping it up on stuff. I've used a shoe as well, but I like the tp roll since it sits completly upright.

Glass pieces like this are not produced by machine; they aren't light bulbs.
While there are differences in production methods which can affect the amount of labor that goes into blowing the piece, and industrial glass can be parallelized to an extent, by definition production is labor constrained.VHC's shipping was initially gated by needing to work out the assembly and fulfillment wrinkles, as Robot explained. My guess is that in the meantime, they've been building an inventory of glass. But with the large order backlog, I expect for that to be exhausted and fulfillment subsequently gated by the glass production capacity. That's probably a principal reason for the in-house HT's. And also a principal reason why none of us can forecast future shipments based on order dates.

if you don't want to spend $$$ on a stand, i think it's fairly easy to make one out of stuff laying around. the concept is as easy as they come (base + holder). how it will look will depend on materials available and level of craftiness.
1) you will need the base/foot. this can be made of something solid.. a piece of wood for example.
2) you need a holder. something with a diameter large enough for the ht to slide in and out without problems. it can be a hard plastic glass/cup, a travel mug, some kind of plastic juice container, maybe a tennis ball can/tube, pvc tubing, kool aid container, hell, maybe even a block of wood with a tunnel bored into it. just make sure its not something that will scratch the ht (you may have to make some modifications).
3) attach holder part to base. depending on the material, you can drill a few screws in through the bottom of the holder into the base, or use strong glue/epoxy. you can also add a liner to the bottom of the holder part... cut up an old mouse pad or similar soft material.

I've followed this thread and the old thread since the beginning, but have been having difficulty searching for what the dimensions are of the Cloud. If any of the current Cloud holders could let me know how tall and wide the unit it is I'd be very greatful.
Thanks,

According to a few posters they say that the cloud performs better after 10+ mins, not when it says it's ready at 5 min.

agreed...the cloud does benefit from being on longer, as all vapes do. I was trying to say that of all the vapes I've used, this one works the best when it reaches the manufacturer's recommended warmup claims.

I was thinking of something quite similar. Although I think I'll go with 1x6 for the base as insurance against tipping over.

ha! i remember that!
more stand ideas....
this is if you have access to scientific lab equipment or live by a science lab equipment surplus store, or have time to research/shop online. you can use a beaker/testtube ring stand. they have various types and sizes with the common being made of a metal base, rod, and screw-on ring. they also have a tripod style stand. if you get one with a metal base, make sure to put a liner on top of the base (mousepad material or rubber matting will do). if you get one with a metal ring, you can use some tubing, slice down the middle, and wrap around the metal.

Thanks for the insight
it's a good feeling to know their customer service image is something the have great pride in not having tarnished.

You could also have some beautiful cnc pieces made of billet alumn built into the stand to hold the piece as well. Another option at a lower cost but just as strong that would impose no risk of scratches or damage to the glass would be to cnc a holder out of derlin composite material.

Sorry I misconstrued you then. I see your point, and that's good to know. I am drooling like everyone else and I have my Solo for when I need a "fast" one. Hopefully that will be replaced by VXL's portable when it's released

shipping options were
ground ($13), 2 day($44), and overnight ($80)
just curious VX team but will you be putting the new hydra tubes on the website now so people will be able to pick the new tube as a package? right now i think it still says only shower and vertigo

3 week (I think....sorry I've been heavily medicated in a cloud) update: S/N 0028 with the "collectors item" Vertigo hydratree Absolutely Amazing I love it superb efficiency at low temp extraction and consistent from hit to hit If you can't wait 5 minutes for heatup you need to reschedule your life! My SSV is now in backup mode I love the smoothness of the hydratree great with and without ice I've never had a high end glass piece with trees or other diffusion devices so now I have glass envy and am wondering what would be an additional good piece of glass?? Stonemonkey stated earlier that ice was not that important in smoothness that a 2 chamber design was so on the top end maybe a Mobius clear nano with matrix perk $390) ? of ion bubbler (but this only has one chamber) or a beaker design with a tree or two? like a HVY 8 arm ($260.) or I found a beaker style with 2 x 4 arm trees ($69) I've searched forums but am undecided.....I would like to keep the height at less than 14 inches or so.... thanks

I'm going to try to keep this gentle, others might not be so inclined . . .
There is a boatload of info about the tubes on this and the preceding thread, a lot in just the last half-dozen pages or so. Essentially you're asking us to repeat what's been repeated many times, and for the pics, to do the searching for you. Might I suggest you invest a bit of time yourself?
For a short answer: All the tubes are HT's, i.e., HydraTubes. What is currently available is the Vertigo, which is a tree, and the VXC in-house called the HydraCirc, which as the name indicates, is a showerdome circ. The SGW brand Showerdome, a circ, will be available in the near future.

I made a cloud station yesterday...... bought a 2.5lb weight (with one side flat) at Big 5 and bought 2 3feet long dowels placed some felt furniture sliders on the bottom (nonflat) side cut the dowels into 5 inch pieces placed the dowels (held in place with a rubber band) around the hydratee and then used a glue gun total cost approx $7 turned out great very stable
