Funny.... I don't think I've tried to use my Supreme without glass yet.

Really? I haven't tried to use mine without glass - how is it hitting 'straight'?

Surprisingly smooth, especially at temperatures just low enough to get plenty of visible vapor. Never needed a whip or anything either.

What temp do you usually go for SD?

Well, starting from cold, the temp you want to stop at depends on how hot your torch is.
For my dealxtreme Honest butane torch, I usually am able to stop torching @ 200-220 and get the best flavor i ever get with vapes + visible exhale.
2-3 clouds a heat-up, going up a little hotter every heat-up.
However, the way the supremes temperature sensor is setup, its always possible that your sensor's tip isnt 100% touching the metal block, and might read a tad different. So I think the best way to find your specific unit's sweet spot is just go as low as you can while still getting a visible exhale on the first draw.
(and this is if you're packing the center tube, not if you're packing it with screens above it)

Super nice! I prefer my Solo on the lowest heat setting, as well. I always used the Supreme at about 300, but I guess that's too high. I am going to try 200-220 tonight - thank you!

Well, i stop the torch at 200-220, so it still climbs higher, like 235-250 (but i'm hitting it while its doing that
)I might start a load that way, but finish it at 300 with water & glass
Nice - thanks guys - guess I better get out the Supreme and try some native hitting.

i had a chance to hit the sv2 the other day and its just as amazing as my sv1. i will say though that i like the screen setup much better on the sv1. however, the only difference in performance that i was able to notice was that the sv1 added more drag to the waterpipes. the additional drag is also more noticeable on larger waterpipes.
i suspect that this happened because i am using a fine mesh titanium screen, whereas the sv2 was using the stock setup. the sv1 also has more tunnels in the heating chamber if i remember correctly, so maybe this helped add to the drag?
the only other thing that might add more drag would be build up of vaporizables within the heating chamber tunnels themselves. so is it safe to iso wash the aluminum part of the sv1? i am not sure how else it could be cleaned.

I don't see how it would be safe to try to clean the aluminum maze with alcohol, considering you wouldn't be able to dry all the nooks and crannies very well and its still attached to the block of wood.
Definitely a shortcoming of the vape.

Place the sock over the heating element and blow sharply into the element (through the sock). If any debris is in there it will be at the bottom of the element and be blown into the main herb chamber. It may be better to try this while the SV is still warm. (Not hot!) Never blow the other way into your SV as it may cause the material to travel further up inside the heating element, causing a blockage. TBH my SV has never got dirty, due to the genius design imho

I absolutely love my SV2, I ended up buying a close out as an extra just in case. I have used it with and without water, and it is excellent either way. I still prefer it with some water and ice, it's like you are just inhaling cool air.
I usually start mine at around 220 and slowly move it up 10 degrees at a time for subsequent hits, I love the flavor at 220 the most, but the higher temps will help vape the rest of the more stubborn nodes.
I have an air compressor that I use to clean the abv from the maze, and I blow both directions until all particles are removed, it keeps the maze very clean and blockage free.
This is a vaporizer everyone should have in their collection, there is not another like it on the market that is so easy to use and impresses even the combusters.
Can't wait to see the new model Ed!

Just a reminder....
One of my orange colored "stoppers' began to show signs of cracking, so I contacted Ed.
You can still order parts for this great vape, and they are reasonable.
I ordered some stoppers, and some screens.
Heres a video of the supreme being used with a piece of glass in place of it's standard metal tube.

Don't think anyone has commented on how awesome the Vapexhale hydratubes work with the supreme.
I'm on day ten without a cloud, but still have my hydratree so have been trying to get it to work with all my vapes. At first I thought it wouldn't work right but realized, using gravity, an airtight seal is pretty easy to make. I've also spilled water down my supreme twice now without affecting performance at all so I don't mind putting a nice high water level.
Only downside is, IF you're sitting down and don't have the cover on, you're balancing a superheated piece of metal right above your crotch

Old post, I know. Trying to make my comeback. lolThe smoke taste is disapating fairly quickly. I haven't tried actually cleaning it yet (not sure how to, really). It's noticable still, but with a few more bowls I don't think I'll notice it anymore.
Hey Stu! I'm glad everything worked out for you.
I sent you another $20 via paypal and never heard back.
Is my old baby still kicking a$$?

I have to give this thread a Bump i swear supreme owners are just way to vaked to come up here and sit and talk about how awesome this vape is. Or maybe we just know it's the best so we don't have to keep talking about it idk but I am telling you I always come back to this vape. It is the most rugged, hardest hitting, dependable vape that exists (totally opinion but ill tell you why).
1. Vapor density- this thing out produces every other vaporizer I have ever hit and the only big desktop unit I haven't owned/tried is the cloud which people rave about but I don't believe any vaporizer has a heating element as powerful as the supreme and nothing can keep up with a power lung toker like the supreme
2. Very accurate thermometer- now i know everyone is going to freak and be like "oh my god that's not even the real temp of air at bowl!!" and yeah i get it but no vaporizer does this. Whether it has a digital readout or a knob they are all just reference points none are exact but the supreme does have a very good and accurate therm that never lets me down and always brings me where I want to be and makes medicating at specific temps possible and very easy to control.
3. durability- this is up there with the most rugged vapes that is impossible to break. The only thing that could possibly break is the therm which is easily replaced and inexpensive. Made out of quality wood and aluminium that can take more punishment than the average toker can dish.
4. even vaping capability- again one of the only vapes out there that completely evenly vaporizes a bowl with no spikes or uneven temps as the air hits the herb so you get a uniform vapor and a uniform temp and never have to stir, shake, recrumble a bowl to squeeze the last. This thing just does the job and is the most highly efficient vaporizer for the amount of herb it can evenly vaporize it's unreal. I also feel it is because the bowl is designed similar to a giant PD or MZ stem with that restricted airflow that i think helps force the air to permeate the herb even more that say my extreme and its more unrestricted cyclone bowl.
5. Heating element- Basically this is the reason behind points 1,3, and 4. The heating element is exposed which is a hazard if you don't respect it, but i have never burned myself or anything else with it and as long as you are an adult and not soooo vaked you can't control yourself I personally don't see this as much of a risk/drawback. It is the reason the supreme is able to do what it does and IMHO it is the most well thought out heating element on the vape market.
I love this thing and if I had to only pick one based on what exists today the supreme would get my vote

Yeah, I agree with about everyting you say. I am surprised this thread does not have more pages; but on some on the threads, keep in mind, there is worthless blabber. Not too much bs on this thread IMO.I wish I would see some other models eg. electric or air assisted so you don't need to pull.
I know he's been talking electric FOREVER.
