Well, I'm not really posing a question. They made it clear what they want to do. Just commenting that for me, it wasn't the deal I thought it would be. And it still is unclear to me if the "sending the cloud in" idea is still part of the trade in deal. To forfeit my warranty and then send a working Cloud halfway across the country up and back is a recipe for disaster.

I think either way its a fair option from a great company. Let's not forget here we're about to get the best vape out for a fraction of the price it's gonna be down the road. What about the Vapexhale FUSE. More ripped ramblings srry.

What is unclear here is whether owners with dead clouds (under warranty) who return their cloud under the $250 price point promo, keep their clouds original warranty....
Edit: pulling this as too much speculation... I was just thinking aloud
The issue is raised....Second issue: What about people who purchased extended warranties, and have working or (warrantied) non-working clouds, and want to trade in?

Monkey specifically said there will be a work around for the trade in on the pledge page

Not only that im sure people with cosmetic defects during the last couple months of manufacturing from their terrible third party, maybe a way for these defects to be fixed right and internally now
Originally, the trade in program would require someone to actually send in their unit in order to get the Nimbus, like an actual trade. We could have easily refurbished these returned units and resold them as second hand items but we made the decision to reward those that took the plunge and bought the Cloud. I think if you look at it from this context, the $250 perk becomes a bit more enticing again.

People be happy you're getting a nimbus for only 250 plus you're original back, jesus there a company vapexhale not a charity.

Me too, that's why I had to get in on the "trade-in" program. My ticker's warranty ends in a couple of weeks so this $250 deal was a no-brainer. Thanks again SM55 and VXH, can't wait to see the finished product!

well I was going to post a video of me hitting the cloud and how much I love it but it just died 
It was having a little bit of an overheating problem but now it just will not heat anymore. Its donezo boo I'm sad. So now that I read I'll have to send my unit in and then for the $250 deal I'll then just receive a Nimbus and a $50 store credit right? I think I have it right? Lets hope I can get the money in time.

Man that is some unfortunate timing. talk about life's way of leading you towards a nimbus!! It is interesting because some of the first clouds were super rock solid, and then there are a bunch that have been turning up sour, so I am not sure what happened in terms of production, just sucks that there have been a lot of issues. I know vapexhale is doing what they can though, they are such a great company. grassroots baby!!!

Oh man, that really hurts. Yeah, you send it in and get a $50 store credit. I'm bummed out for you but I'm confident that when it is all said and done, you'll have a new vape in your hands sooner than later.
On a side note, many people asked for a more informative video so we finally put one together. Check it out and please share it to help get the word out, we're almost at 50%!

I have always thought about doing this, but have never followed through. But today I was at Rite Aid and saw these cheap little fans and I remembered reading this post recently. So I bought one and have been running it on my Cloud today.
I can't believe how much of a difference the fan makes. Before turning the fan on the Cloud was reading 130° F. After turning the fan on it is 101° F (which is almost room temperature today as it's 95° here).
I'm an idiot for not doing this a year ago.
It amazes me how much the environmental temperature can affect the "sweet spot" and also the actual external temperature of the unit. As the weather has been warming up here in the pacific northwest I had noticed that my "sweet spot" was shifting down the dial. During October-May i was always at 3 o'clock on the dial. Starting in June I started backing that off because my unit was getting warmer and warmer. I ended up somewhere around 12 o'clock on the dial the last few days... it was also getting very hot to the touch.
I never thought about using a fan to help reduce the external temperature. I ran up stairs and grabbed a desk fan... with in 5 minutes it was significantly cooler to the touch. I can't believe what a huge difference that made.

Yes, I've been experiencing the same behaviour. There is heat sloooooooowly leaking into the heatshield and the heat shield slooooooowly cools down from environment. The limit of heatshield temperature is determined by this ratio of heat-leak to cool-down. If the environment has no airflow and is warm, the outside gets hotter - a lot. The equilibrium itself gets hotter therefore the sweet spot moves down on the dial. If you cool down the heat shield immediately (for example carefully with a wet napkin) it will take several minutes until it warms up again.
A new vid. I call it 222.
2 ELBs
2 Temps
2x Speed up
The latter ABV would be darker if I let the temp change for longer after setting to max.
The convection was almost on temp, i tasted it and got 1 hit extraction.
The conduction was not ready (the unit not yet on equilibrium), so the ABV was lighter.
I think a Nimbus would change the temp faster as it heats up faster and the enclosure would make the equilibrium curve tighter too.

These loads were pre-dried on sub-vaporizing temp, so it was extracting at full speed from the beginning.
Also it was not top-notch weed. Still knocked me out, I had to go sleep before editing it.
And my lungs are probably large. Most people don't take as big hits as me.
The vid was sped up 2x, so these inhales are actually 2 times longer!

Well yeah, you have some fat lungs
But what does pre dried mean ?
Did you leave the ELB inside at full temp for 15 mins?

You could try and fix it yourself. The same thing happened with my cloud the first time, it was as simple as soldering the wire connection back together.

How'd you do this?

The unit is pretty simple, just open it up and see if any wires are not connected. If one is free use a soldering iron to connect it back (it probably did not move very far from the location it disconnected). Just try it in the place you think before you permanently reconnect it to make sure it works and is in the right place.

Thanks dood... IIRC someone WAY back in the thread tried this and failed. Me, ima have look.
Thanks again

That is true. Perhaps a newer one is easier. Me and my friend tried to resolder it. My friend is
an expert welder and he could not do it. The connection became too hot and the ceramic heating
element cracked. I have plans to resurrect this cloud. But it was originally spot welded and soldering
it was not really easy. Considering the amount of heat involved we thought that regular solder would
not be able to stand the heat. That might not be correct. So we used silver solder and that needs
1200 degrees. If we redid it we would have tried to perhaps screw something into the connector and
then attach the wire to the screw.
