Discontinued VapeXhaleLabs Presents: The Cloud

[Pappy]

Make mine silver.

 

[axakal]

the units look great.
the features of the cloud indicate, that it shouldn't be a problem to use it hookah style, like the extreme q. will there be any adapter for this purpose or is there already something that could be used along with the cloud?

Edit: After closer look at the pictures was able to answer my own question. Mods please delete this post.

Do you mean use with tubing? That would be a downgrade for this design. If that's the style you're looking for, I don't think the Cloud is the right starting point for you.

@doubledown - the housing is 100% aluminum, no plastic As for the SG HydraTubes, that is one thing that we will be keeping close to our chest. There has to be something to look forward to right?

Excellent news on the all aluminum. Much nicer feel than plastic. I guess I'll find out about the SG tubes soon enough as I am on the PO list for one

Also just wanted to say, congrats on stonemonkey55 Jr!

 

[axakal]

@max
no, i don't insist in tubing. just thought, it would be a nice feature. but if it's a downgrade for the unit, i can live without it, as long as i can get thick and moist vapor using the cloud.

@stonemonkey
just a question aside. i know, the portable unit must be in early development stages, but does portable also mean small and easy to conceal like the MFLB or is it just portable as in not too heavy to carry around?

thanks

Although there is a convenience factor to using a whip vs. holding something like the Cloud, glass is considered to be the best when it comes to vapor paths, and when you consider the quality in the provided Hydratubes, I think you'll be quite satisfied with the design. You'll have an all glass vapor path, like the Vapolution with AIW bowl, but with a huge diameter, unlike the narrow AIW bowl.

Do you think the first manufacturing run will be enough to fill the demand or do anticipate being immediately back ordered waiting on a second? Is it too early to tell? Is it none of my business?

 

[stonemonkey55]

@moodswing - the colors are still grey/charcoal, I guess closer to graphite/silver color scheme, I'll take some higher res photos so you guys can see the details when we get the final enclosures, these are just the beta enclosures.

@axakal - we have discussed making a Hydratube that would branch off into multiple mouthpieces that could conceivably be used hookah style. Definitely something I will update you guys on as we make progress but as of now, it is just something that is on the drawing board.

@doubledown - thanks, SM Jr is doing great, she is developing really fast and inspires me to keep working when I'm tired. Nice to have two babies, the Cloud and SM Jr

@m0j0h4nd - we have given this some thought and we are keeping both options open. I think the safe answer at this point is that we would like to work on two kinds, a heavy hitter portable, and a stealthy portable. Being that most of the ingredients are already in place with the Cloud, and the fact that we designed it with energy efficiency in mind, most likely the first portable vape will be a big hitter style. Nothing is set in stone as I will need to sit down with my partners and have a caucus about the pros/cons of each style before deciding which direction we will go. Either way, we will be striving to be best in class in whatever model we go forward with.

Have a great weekend everyone!

stonemonkey55, I think you misunderstood my question. Let me try to clarify what I was trying to say. When manufacturing the Cloud I'm sure you have to make a certain amount of them at a time. Do you anticipate the number to be more than the amount of pre-orders or will there be a immediate wait list to get a Cloud once released?

Again, feel free to say you don't want to or can't answer that. I'm interested in the Cloud but I'm just not a fan of pre-ordering anything.

 

[stonemonkey55]

@m0j0h4nd - whoops my mistake, I actually answered someone elses question about the size of the portable.

To answer YOUR question, there shouldn't be a problem as far inventory is concerned. Although I understand that you are not a fan of pre-ordering, we are not taking any payment information so if that makes you feel more comfortable, you can ensure your Cloud by placing the pre-order.

Feel free to ask any other questions, I try and keep things as transparent as possible.

Check out what my boy Preston from StoneGlassWorks made...LOL, this made my day

Thank you again and kudos to all of you.

SM, can I use the Cloud with the Toro micro? It has a 14mm joint.

 

[Nycdeisel]

I thought the Cloud went right into an 18? I hope Im wrong so I can use it on my stemless 14mm pieces!

We can by a cheap 14 > 18 GonG adaptor. No biggie!
I just wanna know is SM is gonna make me a silver Cloud?

 

[Nycdeisel]

blehh, 14.18 adapters look ugly! Oh well. I will probably stick to all my other tubes for which I can buy an 18-18 dowsntem(and a Hydratree, of course)

Im interested in what colors the unit will be offered in. I know theres a lot of more important issues at the moment, SM, but Im just curious

But dont forget Pappy, every Clouds got a silver lining. Or maybe, a Touch of Grey

@stonemonkey55- Thanks, looks like the portable is pretty far off from now. I guess I'll just have to settle with the cloud, which I'm sure will be great. Two questions though: Will there be a mini hydra tube if so when will it be available? And will a car adapter be available or do all I need is a standard 12v dc car adapter?

 

[Pappy]

will a car adapter be available

Your windows will fog if you vape and drive.

 

[Tstat]

Every silver lining has a touch of grey. We will survive....

 

[stonemonkey55]

It will require a 18.8 -> 14.4 adapter to do this.

The heat shields can be easily swapped in/out so pretty much any color is possible at this point. Most likely, we will start off with colors that we most often get requests for. I have kept a spreadsheet on my computer to track the requests for this purpose. Most likely, I will create a survey on the website to supplement the emails we have been receiving.

Mini-HydraTubes and all sorts of variations have been thought up in our think tank, but as far as release dates go, that part has not been finalized. I am not trying to be vague here but as you can imagine, we are running a very lean operation over here and have been very singularly focused on launching the products that we are already working on.

Once the Cloud is launched and we begin to understand the demand of this product, from a material requirements perspective, then we can begin figuring out how to allocate our time from R&D on future glass water tools.

Highly considering this work of art as my next vape...that being said, if I purchase one with a color that I end up not being thrilled about, is there a possibility of a DIY heat shield swap for a different color, at an additional charge? Thanks!

The Cloud will only be available in one color scheme for at least 6-12 months but yes, you can buy colored heat shields and swap them out yourself down the road.
