Discontinued VapeXhaleLabs Presents: The Cloud

[minnesnowta]

Mmmmmmmmmmmm Bubbles. Was that clean water too??? Crazy either way.

On ice: since I've started using the higher diffusion pieces I haven't had a need for ice. There's enough cooling from just the water for me. I'm not sure if that will be the case for everyone though. Ice also messes with water levels as well which I hate and affect the "feel" of the perk. Expecially when you find the perfect water level.

Wow the bub's looking good. That was the double waffle in there?


I agree with minnesnowta on the ice. I'm also prone to letting it melt after the first couple hits.

 

[minnesnowta]

That's the gridded circ in there.

Thought of another question..

Will you be able to use the Cloud with a Whip? What about bags?

 

[minnesnowta]

That's been asked multiple times already.... Short answer: whip is possible, bags no way. There isn't a fan in it so it wouldn't ever be able to.

 

[hereatlast]

Lol I don't know how I didn't see the circ. That thing stacks amazingly, love to see the other stems in action.

 

[whosgottheherb]

I have a question about the hydratubes. How is the center of balance on the tree? I really want the tree but im afraid if I angle the setup at all while hitting, the glass may want to slip off. I guess I'm asking how good is the gong connection for the hydratree?

I think I may just go with the circ tree cause all the water at the bottom gives it more weight to stay connect. It's a shame though cause those hydratrees are beautiful but I couldn't trust friends with it.. Well I hope my question makes sense and thanks in advance.

I don't think you will have a problem with either one since you will want to remove HydraTube's from the Cloud unit between hits anyway, that is how you are going to clear the tube so I would not see the point of putting it back on the Cloud unless you are going in for another hit. To your question about gong joints, these connections are very secure but if you are worried about friends dropping it, you might just want to consider what I am going to do for people who are less than ungrateful, I am going to use a one of the whips I have lying around and make them use that instead, same hit just not water cooled.

I am sure when this thing comes out that people are going to devise ways of keeping the HydraTubes stable & upright. Just like they make slide holders, I would not count out the possibility of Stonemonkey coming out with some form of HydraTube Stand.

I just sent out an email to everyone that pre-registered. 6 emails bounced, so if you didn't get a confirmation email, send support@vapexhale.com an email and pre-register on the website. We will cross reference the email and the registration to ensure we have you in the system.

whosgottheherb? that is the million dollar question, whoever has it, come by my house and share some! ok, bad joke, but I'll make up for it.

To answer your question, the ShowerDome and the HydraTree are both centered and level. If your Cloud needs more support and/or need a place to show off/store your HydraTubes.... here are 4 concepts I would like to share with my fellow FC'ers....constructive feedback is always welcome.

I could be wrong, but I think the VapeXhale Cloud might be fuckcombustion's first commercial "homegrown" vapes - thanks for all the feedback and for shaping the Cloud to be what it is today!

 

[minnesnowta]

I'd say #3 but how would it work with the exposed joint on the vg?? Unless the sides are tall enough to still grab the main part of the tube. And I'm guessing everything would have to be the same bore around the base then as well.

 

[bluntfaced]

empty and upside down?

 

[stonemonkey55]

My mistake guys, I should have mentioned that these are just concept pictures and each of these will have a male gong joing in the middle to hold the HydraTubes in place. This will allow the VG styled HydraTubes to be held and stabilized with or without the surrounding columns to support it. I'm digging concept 4 myself, looks nice and balanced and symmetrical.

 

[CapnVape]

I have to agree with Minnesnowta on the cloudstation, #3 ftw. And SM, that samurai dubb is insane.

 

[stinkmeaner]

#4 for first choice and #1 for second choice, I am not a fan of the skinny walls/lip on the other two

 

[whosgottheherb]

Will the docking station be included with original purchase? Otherwise I don't know where to put the hydratree when I'm not hitting it..

btw, how is this compatible with other bongs? Like how would you go about loading it for that since youll be turning it upside down?

 

[Raf007]

Hi there fellow vaporists !

SM55 littl Q for you and PowerNerd3000:

Did you dropped the idea of making just one international version of the cloud like some suggested a bit earlier in this thread ? Coz I don't know about the cost price on a short run but on the long run wouldn't it be cheaper to produce ?

 

[He-Man]

While we're at it,
i suppose when EU version comes out there wont be any discount on it like this one for launch ?
So how big difference in price will be than ?
Lets say for SG HydraTree, now is 429$, and if its going to be way over 100$ difference for EU than i would go and buy USA version at launch.

 

[rastaman.fb]

i really like design #4 when attached with male gong`s it has a clear look to it.

@SM55: Ive read that there is a possibility to get all the glass with one cloud.
how much would that be extra, because then i really want to buy the SG one also. I currently dont own any American Glass so it would be cool to havem both.

And when are you finally showing us those pics
were even satisfied with a sneak peak ^^

@He-Man: Im also going for the US version upfront, ive been using Bose Lifestyle System for aout 10-12 years, got it from my uncle at his PX (Army Base Mall that is for the EU people who DONT have military near them ) and it still works till this day, been using it EVERY day and it works with a converter. so its not that big of a deal.

 

[stonemonkey55]

@whosgotheherb - the CloudStation is built for the Cloud and its accessories, not for any random glass piece, those will have to find a home of their own, I suggest Pelican briefcases myself. The CloudStation is a separate accessory that you can choose to buy/not buy and is not included in the kit.

@heman and raf - We will hook up our European customers with a similar intro pricing structure so you guys won't miss out. I will get back to you about the question about the dual voltage shortly.

Lastly, Sovereignty Gridded HydraTree demo/pics coming shortly

 

[He-Man]

Than that is, and will be! Legen - wait for it - DARY !

 

[stonemonkey55]

@He-Man - that link is "legend............dary!" LOL Barney Stinson is one funny guy

Quick update from PowerNerd3000 - "It is likely that we will have two different models. The transformer we are using is the item in question as higher voltage typically means larger size (potentially not making it fit) - give me some time to work with some different components and I'll get back to you shortly"

Based on what PN3K said, I think it is likely that we will have two models but like Raf said, the inverter should work fine as he has used his stereo equipment for over 10 years which makes me feel much better about recommending the US model using an inverter.

 

[sLug215]

I can't wait for SG gridded hydra!

 

[Raf007]

Thx for the answer SM55

Rastaman is the one who stated using a converter for ten years... but the result is the same

But I can confim that I too have been using US versions of products for years with a converter, wireless landline phone, router, and more w.out any pb.

That's why unless you can guarantee (what I am not asking actually) a really really short wait and the same exact launch price I am not waiting for the Euroversion.

Btw, me pref goes to cloud station number 3.

 

[He-Man]

Oh yea, im for station #4 , or #1

 

[jumpoff_the_planet]

I like station 3 for the placement of the cloud itself at the front, i dont think i would want to lean over glass pieces to enjoy the cloud. I think everything would look better with that layout anyway and the cloud would be right at the front for ergonomics.

Also, may I suggest making the base out of wood. I think wood looks a lot better as far as a stand goes and it is also sustainable, I dont know what sort of material you were thinking of SM but if it were metal consider recycled, could possibly be cheaper and obviously better for the environment.
