Cloudy...
So at 12 (half temp?) it's like my iolite, right? Anyone know what's the Max temp?
That makes sense, also what's different in the hydraline? As newVaper420's wife, at the beggining the one that I most liked was the tree just because of the look and that was my choice. I want a tube with good filtering so I think i made the right choice. Any videos with the Swagger tree in action?
Thanks a lot for your quick answers !!

I believe max temp is somewhere around 500 degrees Fahrenheit. I think*. I'm not exactly sure.
I love my HydraTree. It's awesome. (I have the Evolver one though). The HydraLine has ice pinches and allows for a tilted type hit (you can lean the Cloud back a little), and it offers a bit of protection from water getting into the GonG joint. That being said, it's not really a concern, as if you operate your tubes correctly you should never have this issue.

My cloud comes today. I am amazed at the posts about the efficiency of this vaporizer. I always believed that my Eterra and Ultra Light vaporizers beat any of these new ones for efficiency by a long shot. I will certainly post my comparison of one to another. 2:30 it should get here. That is when they go and retrieve the USPS mail. I hope it is happy since they tried to deliver it on Saturday but the building was closed.

Cloud arrived. I am on cloud 9 right now. Test later today if it survived shipping.

I'm in the hurricane zone, and my power has been flickering on and off. If my Cloud is plugged into a power strip, am I in any possible danger leaving my Cloud on? I don't want to damage my Cloud.

Depends on your surge protector. Some "surge protectors" are just 'power strips,' that provide multiple outlets, with no additional protection. Look up your model surge protector/read the info on it. See what it protects from, etc. AFAIK, some surge protectors can protect against 'larger' surges of electricity, and other not so much. Also, is your surge protector plugged into a grounded outlet?
Many surge protectors, like mine, have a couple LEDs, to indicate protection/ground status.

I have this one, http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=SPP3070B/17&scy=ca&slg=en
It has a protecting and grounded light. It says "The red protection light indicates that your surge protector is providing surge protection for your equipment. If the red light is out, it means that the surge protector has been damaged by a severe surge and a new one should be purchased."
I still have the red light. I think it's a good one.

Your Little surge protector may think its OK, but if lightning strikes close enough to your place, or you get a big enough power spike coming down the line, it can fry right through it. Electricity can be very unpredictable in this regard. The Cloud has a fuse in it that is not user serviceable, IMO you are taking an unwarranted risk. I wonder how many Clouds will die in this storm only to have their owners apply to VXH for warranty service . . .

Edit* T-dub beat me to it...listen to his warning.
I really cannot say for certain, what is sufficient for the Cloud, etc...But, your surge protector is definitely an okay one...I've seen worse and better. But, as with any, your Cloud is still potentially at risk. You can definitely get better, such as something that protects up to around 3500+ joules.
Your surge protector info says:
Pure Protection
• 1000 Joules
• $100,000 connected equipment warranty*
Might read up on your warranty, etc...could replace a product if it fails while plugged in?
I'm in the path of the hurricane too, I suppose. I'm in maine, central/northern maine. We're not supposed to be too bad off, compared to anyone south of us. Potential power loss from wind, is what we're looking at, along with the potential for localized flooding, due to rain/clogged drainage.
I've got a fresh can of 'tane for the bernzo torch, and the supreme vape sitting ready. I've got a couple flashlights all charged up, and my phone all charged up. Got everything else 'ready' to be easier to access in the even of power loss.
Hope everyone fares this thing well! Good luck to anyone to my south, in the path!
Edit**
I figure this question will come up, eventually. If you truly want to protect your Cloud, and more, from more than just little surges of electricity, and be safe in the event of a lightning strike, look into an actual 'Home surge protector.' This is something that will be installed in-line, with your breaker/fuse setup, and will be a "surge protector" for your whole home electrical system. A surge protector can only handle what travels through it's circuits ground wire, which isn't gonna handle a near by/local to your line, lightning strike.
Ultimately, leaving your expensive/delicate electronics out of the mix, when it comes to electrical storms, is the best idea. However, when the storm is unexpected, you may not have a heads up. Get protection that really protects your home/devices, if you are truly concerned, and must keep your Cloud running.

Update on my issues with the Swagger glassware: apparently my replacement has been shipped so that was a lot faster than I thought. I know they blow their glassware to order and have a backlog. I was expecting longer so thats good. VHX has been in close contact with me about the issue. I want to correct something from my previous about about communication with VHX (I can't appear to edit that message so here is a clarification): there was a misunderstanding that has been cleared up. based on the email from VHX support it sounded like I would be put in touch with Swagger to deal with my replacement on my own. what they meant was that they would mediate the replacement through Swagger. I thought I was being passed off. I wasn't. so my comment about not getting support is incorrect. I misunderstood.
The reality of the situation is that VHX has been very attentive. you might get some quick emails back and then a day or two between them. or you might not get a reply right away. they reply when they can among balancing other priorities. like everyone says, they are a small company with limited personnel at the moment but a great and high demand product. so you might get some sporadic emailing... just be patient they will get to you. i would say if you don't get an email within 4 days... then try emailing again or submitting another support ticket. you can also call their number on their site.

I'm glad to see you come and update your experience, and even more glad to see that VXL has taken care of things for you! Hopefully you will have a much nicer looking 'Double' sometime soon!

I am watching the news about the storm on the East Coast. I hope everyone stays dry. My thoughts are going out to anyone that might be affected. I think if you are concerned about power surges and your cloud it might be best to unplug it during the worst part of the storm. It is always better to be safe.

Ehhh everything was fine for me. The power flickered. I left my Cloud unplugged and just used it and unplugged it again. Man I love that thing :-)

I have very sensitive bronchial tubes and pharanx; I can't handle the big hits many here do. The Cloud is by far the easiest and most comfortable vape for me, much more so than, e.g., my Extreme-Q.
Coughing is a reflex reaction because THC is an expectorant, like those cough medicines intended to make you cough up mucus. Too much THC will induce a coughing fit.
I use the HydraLine with ice which adds a lot of cooling, and that helps a lot (I have a HydraCirc too that I use with cold water; good but not as much cooling as the HL). But what I've learned with the Cloud is to take a slow steady draw and to be careful with how deep I pull. It is very easy for me to take in too much just because it is so smooth, and then I get a burning throat and coughing fit. This doesn't happen very often now that I've got my technique nailed down. My friends and wife who occasionally share my Cloud all have the same tendency to pull in more than they realize. Perhaps you are doing the same.
