The Hydrology9 Vaporizer from Cloudious9 features a futuristic design that looks and feels good. Cloudious9 is known for forward looking designs, blending smooth lines and cool-toned materials with technology that feels intuitive.
And if you’ve been wanting to try a new flower vape that’s easier on the lungs, this unique piece with a water filtration system may do the trick. Below, find out everything you need to know about the Hydrology9.
The Hydrology9 is an electronic liquid filtration vaporizer for dry herb. Using an internal electronic heating system, vaporized flower passes through a leak-resistant water chamber that cools down the vapor before inhalation.
Its modular construction and attention to detail creates a smooth experience from initial set up to clean up. While not handheld, the Hydrology9 can still be considered a portable vaporizer — easy to pack up and place in a bag on the go.
No complicated directions here — the Hydrology9 is an efficient, portable vaporizer from the start.
The vaporizer comes fully assembled, but you’ll need to load it with water and — of course — your favorite flower. Giving it a quick rinse is always a good idea too.
First, put your ground flower into the chamber at the bottom of the device, it easily unscrews to reveal a bowl in the form of a perforated ceramic cup. There is also a hook on the bottom cap piece that can be used to stir up your flower mid-session for an even burn.
Next, unscrew the glass mouthpiece to fill up the glass chamber with water — up to 70% full — using the no-spill intake top that ensures you won’t get water into any other part of the machine where it doesn’t belong. The magnetic top cap pops on and off easily to reveal the mouthpiece.
There is one main circular operations button that controls the on/off switch and temperature. Press it three times fast for “on” or “off,” and once it is on, press the button once to cycle through the five temperature settings. Every time you press the button, it will go to the next temperature setting on a loop —the lights will flash to indicate which temperature setting is selected. When you’re on the setting you want, just wait until the flashing color coded light turns solid green, indicating it is at temperature and ready to use.
The temperature presets range are represented by blue (lowest), yellow, orange, purple, and red (highest), and cover a span of 392 – 464°F. This temperature range makes for a delicious flavor experience, and the upper ranges are plenty strong.
The Hydrology9 will stay at the set temperature for two minutes and then enter a stand-by mode for one minute, indicated by a solid blue light, before cooling down to end the session. If left on, the auto shutoff will kick in after 10 minutes.
There are two extra light modes built into the Hydrology9: “lava lamp,” which cycles through colors, and “party mode,” which cycles through a light show while also keeping the set temperature for 10 minutes for extended sessions.
To activate lava lamp mode, hold the operations button down for three seconds when the machine is on but not in use. For party mode, hold the button down for three seconds after it has reached the set temperature indicated by the green light.
To check the battery level, hold and press the operations button while it is turned off. Green light is full battery, blue light is half battery, and red light is low battery. The included charger and adapter are all you’ll need to charge the Hydrology9, which takes about an hour.
It is not recommended to use the device while it is charging.
The machine itself comes with a cleaning kit which includes high quality brushes and metal tools that can also be used for loading and packing the device. It’s worth noting that many other companies sell similar high quality items as add ons.
Routine upkeep is as easy as shaking the Hydrology9 up with clean water and letting it dry completely before reassembling after each session — along with lightly brushing out the vaped flower.
For deep cleaning, use the included brushes in the heating chamber and air intake hole. There is also a screwdriver included for access to the interior air duct cover next to the heating chamber on the bottom. This area can be accessed and cleaned with the included pick tool as well as cleaned off with water or alcohol.
You should be cleaning your vaporizer after every couple of sessions, or when you notice lessened air flow.
This electronic aqua portable vaporizer is enticing for anyone who wants an ultra smooth vaping experience with a futuristic aesthetic. And who doesn’t want to feel like they’re living in the future? The Hydrology9 is simple and straightforward to use, with nothing overly complex about the operations, even though the overall feel is hi-tech.
The parts fit together satisfyingly, and the smooth cylindrical shape feels good in the hands. Its unique design would match any minimalist or space-age aesthetic. And being able to easily twist the hook inside the heating chamber is a small detail that enhances the overall experience and makes the best use of the flower.
At under $300, it’s a high quality and fun piece to invest in.

We came into Weedmaps Strain Madness 2021 with 32 weed strains ready to claim the title for “Best Strain In The Game.” While we hoped there may be variance from last year’s contest, for the second year in a row, the people have spoken, and OG Kush has been crowned as the champion yet again.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Strain Madness 2021 tournament.
There were more than 180,000 total votes throughout all of the matches. Thank you for the amazing turnout!
Before showering praise on the ultimate champion, let’s a take a look at the total votes for each of the top eight contenders received:
OG Kush crushed it with a total of 18,577 votes over the course of Strain Madness — and it’s not surprising to see Pineapple Express cruising right behind. Disappointed, Alien Kush will have to dry its tears and hope it makes a screaming entrance next year.
If you’re out of weed and wondering what to buy next, consider celebrating OG Kush’s victory this week with a pipe or vape full of the mega-popular winner.
We asked contributor Dante Jordan to revisit each round to see how OG Kush became the 2021 champion.
Round 1: OG Kush vs. Strawberry Cough
From the moment OG Kush stepped onto the figurative strains court, it knew that no one could touch its majesty. First matchup was against Strawberry Cough, in which OG Kush absolutely blasted the fruit-forward sativa out of the water by a score of 4,222 votes to 1,614 votes. OG’s performance was so dominant that by the second half, its starters were on the bench flipping water bottles over like the 2016 Cavs against the Knicks.
Round 2: OG Kush vs. Wedding Cake
After sending Strawberry Cough to the crib, OG Kush found itself up against its most formidable opponent yet: Wedding Cake. We know what Wedding Cake brings to the table: hype and nationwide notoriety backed by high-quality genetics, aroma, flavor, and experience. And with the extreme popularity of Wedding Cake in modern cannabis, we thought it might be a strong enough team to put OG Kush’s run to bed. NAH, SON.
In the end, with a score of 4,273 votes to WC’s 3,348, OG Kush’s veteran savvy and experienced roster proved to be an undefeatable force for the up-and-coming hybrid.
Round 3: OG Kush vs. Alien Kush
When a basketball team goes to war on the court, they come out one of two ways: completely drained and unable to continue on, or even more powerful through the growth that facing adversity brings. OG Kush was the latter, as evidenced by the way that it treated Alien Kush like a high school B team. By putting 4,428 votes to Alien Kush’s measly 864, OG Kush basically told its opponent, “Never mention me, my team, or my coaches ever again.”
Round 4: OG Kush vs. Gelato
Beasting through the tournament led OG Kush into the Fire Four, where we got the battle of #1 seeds that the world’s been waiting for: OG Kush vs Gelato.
Gelato is quite simply one of the best strains ever and a huge reason why many of us are so obsessed with chasing “exotic” strains and flavors, so we expected it to push OG to the wire — possibly even sending the Original backbone of California genetics home with its head down.
Nope. OG Kush stuck to the game plan that got it here, put up 3,061 votes to its opponent’s 1,783, and in the end, Gelato was reminded that its time of supreme reign may come one day, just not in 2021.
Finals: OG Kush vs. Purple Haze
Standing in the finals, after defeating Strawberry Cough, Wedding Cake, and Gelato, OG Kush found itself against the 2021 Strain Madness Cinderella Story: Purple Haze.
To get here, Purple Kush made a completely unexpected run through Super Lemon Haze, Blue Dream, and Pineapple Express. Unfortunately for the legendary Haze strain, the people’s love of purple weed, relaxing effects, and Jimi Hendrix was nowhere near enough juice to get OG Kush up out the paint. And in the end, with a number of 2,593 votes to Purple Haze’s 1,117 votes, we were able to crown Original Kush as the first-and-only two-time Strain Madness champion of the world.
Will OG Kush ever be defeated in Strain Madness? Only time will tell. But until that point, it will continue to be the undisputed heavyweight champion, and unanimous MVP of all things weed.
