They actually already make shower-heads that do this. Pretty crazy stuff.
Yes, and yes. There's a price for high performance. But cooler handling is here, and I don't think sm will mind me quoting him - "We did a minor tweak to the insulator, the inner enclousure, and then the outer enclosure."VapoRoor said:

I'm happy to say that the unit gets warm after an hour of use but I'm willing to bet even the most sensitive of hands won't find the heat offensive. There are 8 screws that hold the enclosure in place and those are the parts that get the hottest. If you hold the Cloud buy it's lower half, those screws don't get as hot. I think you will be quite pleased at the amount of heat the enclosure can now dissipate.
Soo pumped, Knocking on wood, but i know this next round will be the one.
@Stonemonkey -- The new enclosure looks great, maybe its just the image, but is there slightly a greater area of separation between the outer shell and the inner shell? Or are both pieces of the enclosure still plush together?

Troi - you, my friend, are an eagle eye. We shrunk the inner enclosure and enlarged the outer, heat shield. This allows our enclosure to never get scalding hot, even if it has been left on for hours.
It is tough to hold the Cloud by anything other than outer heat shield. The inner casing does get very hot at the top of the enclosure but is significantly cooler for the lower half. I don't foresee people having any heat issues unless they directly touch the top the inner enclosure. We will put a warning sticker on the top so that users wont accidentally scorch themselves.

The stock case is big enough to house the tallest of our "ready for launch" HydraTubes. This includes the SG, SGW, and the tallest (about 11-12 inches) Vertigo tube.
Going forward, our "official default" size for HydraTubes will be 9 inches so that they can fit into a Pelican 1200 case. We are getting custom cases made but they won't be available at launch. If you want, you can get a Pelican 1200 and it will be large enough for a Cloud, HT, grinder, and some meds
@Ohigho - good time to check in, I would say we are about 2-3 months away from officially launching. We are working with our manufacturer on the assembly process and still awaiting to test our new heat sensors. We were told that our heat sensors wouldn't arrive until Sept 12 (original ETA was Aug 15) but we only need a couple to test out so we are hoping they can send out just a few before sending us our big order so we can properly test them and give the green light to ramp up production
Most metal grinders are pretty similar in how fine of a grind they produce, the quality of the grinder itself is what varies more. I'd assume that with the Cloud one would want as fine of a grind as one could get w/o being too fine that the pieces go through the screen of the bowl. A finer grind means more surface area is exposed which makes vaping more effective, but the Cloud is going to vape pretty well no matter what. I've hand picked pieces and put them into the bowl of my Volcano when a grinder wasn't available. It still produced vapor just fine even if I wasn't getting my money's worth so to speak as I would if it were ground well. I can't see the Cloud being as finicky as say a Launch Box when it comes to grinding.ThouShaltVape said:
Fine would be good except for the fact that the bowl has holes. A loosely loaded bowl with a medium to coarse grind is my preference. It's not really a big deal with the Cloud.ThouShaltVape said:
2 pc. vs. 4 pc. determines consistency for the most part. One allows bud to escape the teeth. The other doesn't.Carbon said:
In my experience, with many different models, not unless you're buying from a convenience store. Even cheap brand names provide good quality these days.
IMO trying to get a fine grind while avoiding too fine a grind for the screen material means sifting your bud after you grind, in order to leave out the really fine ground material. This is certainly an option, especially if you have an LB which could use that fine ground. But the Cloud does fine with a typical 4 pc. grind and that's what I plan to use.
Or spend much less and still get a good grinder.
