“This is a really beautiful and fun product. The hits are amazing smooth, the unit feels good in your hand - it's a real joy to use. However, I have a gripe with it which is that the oven is filled by flipping the unit upside down, which means water spills out of the top of the unit where you fill it in. This necessitates emptying out the unit of water before refilling the oven and then having to pour water back in. While this is a minor annoyance, it does detract from the overall experience which would otherwise be perfect. The other gripe I have with it (again related to water) is that if the water chamber is more than 50% full, it is very easy to accidentally pull too hard and pull water through the mouth piece. Additionally, the mouthpiece does not dry easily, so once it becomes somewhat waterlogged, every hit is accompanied by a small drink of water.
Understandably, it is difficult to engineer a product that allows easy passage of vapor but not liquid...if it hasn't been already. Maybe something like a tesla valve could be used?
In any case the product is great aside from the water issues, which are minor to me. I really enjoy using it!”
“This is the cleanest way to smoke in my opinion. Very unique and different then other vaporizers. You can taste the bud very well with us vaporizer. The case is perfect and very portable. I would recommend to others that are wanting to vaporize in a clean way or people that want to try something different and unique.
One problem that I found was that with the glass cylinder piece can leak a lot. I tried tightening and loosening to see if that would make a difference but found that there was always a high chance of leakage. But the plastic cylinder works great.”
“After trying a water pipe attachment on a different portable vape that I own, I've been hooked on water filtration for vaporizing because I find it too harsh on my throat otherwise.
I got the Hydrology 9 as part of the holiday bundle. I wouldn't have purchased it otherwise.
I had some minor leaking at the beginning but seem to have figured out what to do to largely avoid that. That said I wouldn't trust it not to leak if by left in a purse etc.
Design seems solid and I love that it's glass.
My biggest complaint is that the oven is too small. I find it hard to share with anyone because I have to fiddle around changing the herb before either of us has had enough.
My other complaint is that the lowest temperature seems too hot and boring burns up the herb really brown.
Love the built in stir tool but I find the over difficult to load, although it's easier now that I'm using some of the tools that came with the unit.
I heard cloudious will be coming out with a new model this year. I hope they'll offer existing users a discount!”
“I absolutely love this vape. I have lung problems and can no longer smoke weed so I’ve been vaping for a few years and even that can be harsh at times. The Cloudious9 is so smooth that I can take a huge hit and it does not bother my lungs. It was worth the money :moneybag:”
“Well my impression of Flower vaping has changed... Didn’t like it, thought it was defective; then I took a pull off this bad boy. My previous vape was hard as hell to get vapor out of. With the way I put my mouth on the tiny opening it blocked the air flow and created the biggest pain in pulling anything out of it. With this, a big ole cloud of vapor instantly. I’m hooked; the only downside, took the bottom piece off to unload my first bowl and dropped it and it already has a ding in it. I’m an aesthetics guy, so that little ding hurts. Performance is 5 Stars all around but as far as scratchability, I already see this thing getting knocked around the block a few times and quick.”
