Phewww, been so beached on this cloud i got behind on this thread and had a real hard time catching up. Shitty about the leaky hyracirqs, mine doesn't leak but i have the exact opposite problem, my slits are cut so thin that it holds air below my perc and there is a big bubble under it. Hard to explain but ill post some pics once i get a photoboth account or whatever. I don't think this is enough to warrant a replacement since it functions decently enough, infact it is my brothers favorite piece that I own over my mobius matrix ion and headford, I prefer the bubblers my self. Maybe just because I find it so much more difficult to clean. Fluid is very difficult to get to flow through my tube possibly because of the thin slits or just the design of the hydratube, but everyone else claims its really easy to clean. I also find the cloud gets my pieces dirty quite fast, and i have big globs of THC condense quickly as if im doing errl dabs. Just shows how much the cloud is really extacting each hit. Very impressive.
I also think my cloud might be a running hot, but not sure if it is meant to be this hot. I always use it at about 7 o'clock and can use it up to about 9 comfortably. Used it at 12 o'clock at first by accident and it seemed to be equal heatwise to about 2 o'clock on a SSV (if they are all the same) which is way too hot. Im not sure if it would combust at max setting but it would be a very dark ABV. I will get my combusting friend to give it a rip at higher temps to see what the ABV looks like.
All in all I am loving this thing, I want to use it constantly which is dangerous because it gets you sooo high, and I consider myself to have a pretty high tolerance. Vape4life you say you are taking a tolerance break until you get your cloud, I think you shoud be doing the opposite and make sure you have a bit of tolerance or you might find yourself on the floor from just one bowl!
