Can you elaborate on why it doesn't outperform the VHW? And when you say "close" to the VHW are you implying that the taste of the VHW is better? I'm probably picking up both the cloud and vhw but am more curious as to the differences in taste.
Also, when you indicate that the cloud definitely punched through your tolerance, is that based on your vhw use?

SICK!!!!!!!!!! Really enjoy your vids dude, and I think it's awesome that the ELB doesn't need a preheat, and can produce clouds like that off of only a little bud and at the lowest temp. The taste must of been amazing.
By 'doesn't outperform the VHW', I mean the clouds I can get with the Cloud are equal to the thickness of VHW rips I get, not any denser. They both give rips as dense as I want, neither really better in that regard. I do feel the VHW tastes better, but not by a big margin. THe ease of use of the Cloud and its apparent lesser fragility trumps the small taste difference for me - I haven't used any other vape since getting the Cloud and don't feel the need to. But I could see using my VHW if I got something especially tasty - and assumjng i have plenty. The Cloud is IMO much more efficient than the VHW as well- my two biggest complaints about it have always been how easily the heater cover breaks and how much herb it uses compared to other vapes.
Because of the efficiency the VHW hasn't been my daily driver lately - plus I've been using it with a jury-rigged broken heater cover - but I have been using it periodically, and recently it hasn't helped get through my tolerance. As a medical user, the thing tolerance does to me is it stops helping some of what I use mj for - especially stops helping insomnia - and frankly stops giving me a buzz of any kind.
Because of where my health has been, I haven't been able to take a tolerance break of even a day in a long time. I've found the only thing that seems to make much difference is new gear - either glass or a vape - or a new strain (oil or bubble used to help, but too much of one and unavailability of the other stopped that). The difference normally doesn't last long. So far, day 2, the Cloud is still making a difference - slept really well last night and have been buzzing since i got it..
