Heavy Hitter, Just Add Water

The Hydrology 9 by Cloudious is a new portable vaporizer with a built in water filtration system which provides large vapor clouds with a great smooth vapor. Using the Cloudious 9 might be a little confusing at first, but a quick spin up on the directions and you will be a professional in no time.

Great For Smokers Making the Switch

The Hydrology 9 is one of the most fun and exciting new vaporizers to use, not only for it’s vapor capabilities, but also for it’s aesthetics and similarities with a common water pipe.

Now to the part which is obvious what sets the Hydrology 9 apart. The water filtration component built in to the unit itself. The water really makes the vapor experience amazing. The water allows for a greater pull with less force meaning you can use lesser lung capacity to get more vapor and also smoothens out the vapor’s texture.

Air intake (shotgun) Adding to it’s water pipe-esque features even more, the Hydrology 9 has an air hole you can hold your finger over to cause a greater pulling force of vapor through the water.

All in all the Hydrology 9 is a super fun vaporizer to use and is a must try for any vapor enthusiast or someone looking for large clouds similar to what you would obtain with a water pipe. It is even more fun to pass around with some friends whether around the fire or the couch.

Using the Hydrology 9

Out of the box you can unscrew the anti leak cover and add your water first or unscrew the chamber cover and add your herb first. The cover is anti leak so you don’t need to worry about water going everywhere if doing it out of order.

Once all is put back together hit the Hyrdrology 9’s power button three times to power on. Holding down the power button lightly will allow you to switch between temperature settings and the internal lights will show the color through the water.

The Hydrology 9 is ready to go in 1- 2  minutes depending on heat setting. When the unit is ready the lights will hold a solid green. Your selected temperature will be held for 2 minutes and then enter a standby mode for 60 seconds – a solid blue light.

Vapor Quality

The Hydrology 9 makes up for what it lacks in flavor by being able to lay down large clouds. The water filtration give it an added level of smooth which further helps those looking to get elevated rapidly take large hits.

The water unfortunately will take away some of that terp taste you would get from a more conventional portable vaporizer, however that is the trade off. If you are looking for large smooth vapor clouds, the Hydrology 9 should be at the top of your list.

 Another added benefit to the Hydrology 9 vaporizer is the  built in stir tool connected to the chamber cover. This allows you to twist and move the herb in the chamber during a session to offer a more even bake of your herbs. The chamber, which is constructed of porcelain, is long and narrow holding about .2 grams of ground material.
