How long does it take to make the connection and take a hit? Under 10 seconds for me. I use the SSV by myself and my setup is perfect with the unit on an end table and my arm resting on the arm of my chair. Hands free would be more inconvenient for me. Not to mention the ground glass connection doesn't hold up as a secure connection over time and the SSV heater angle is the worst for a long term gg connection. Down the road the whip would tend to slide off. The bowl would also be smaller, which I don't like.
