Some new ideas for your Arizer Extreme

I'm a very happy owner of one of these fellas, and while I'll enjoy a bag or sit with the whip for a while just as much as the next guy, I'm also inclined to explore new avenues. I've not seen these tricks covered before despite looking over the large thread and around youtube, I'm gonna run the risk that this is not because the ideas are so common place no-one feels the need to so much as mention them.

A handy way of packing the elbow:
With the dome in place, use the whip as a vacuum and suck up all the crystals. A little more than enough force to such the crystals up will ensure they are packed in.

Whip Oil Bell:
If you've got a hob and a knife you can hot knife things, if you've got a fancy Ti plate you've probably got much better ways than this, but it's interesting enough. I like to hold the short balloon whip in my teeth, then position the elbow appropriately to inhale the vapour.

New bowl:
Let me say this is a blatant steal of the purple days design, I'm sorry but it is very clever, not to mention efficient.

Take a rectangular piece of gauze and roll it into a cylinder, the width of the dome screen. The idea is to fit the new screen into the dome, pack it loosely and seal it with another dome screen at the open end. You are going to need to remold one dome around the glass stirrer, this will now fit into the hole in the middle of the "tuff" bowl (the one without the black rubber ignore my picture saying otherwise, it is sightly larger). So seal the cylinder with the new dome, fit it into the bowl, attach the elbow and use your favourite method of inhalation.


Alternatively, reshape a round screen into a dome, pack the weed in the old dome screen and seal it with the one you've just made. This will let you vaporize at some low temperatures, and uses the amount required to just cover the normal round screen.

Maybe you've learned something here, or maybe not. Any ideas and comments would be welcomed with nuclear arms.

so, are you putting the gauze in the air path?

While I have trouble enough getting my point across sober, I was admittedly a trifle stoned when i wrote that. But yea, that's the idea. Basically all I'm saying is make the bowl thinner, and offering a very convolute3d method of doing so.

This is what I'm using now since I don't actually have the gauze I need and using only a little weed is always cool. With this set up I begin at 160 degrees C and move up from there, 225 will tun it a dark brown, verging on too brown. They say a picture paints a thousand words, so without further a do:

These are the instruments. For reference that coin is a quarter. Pack the weed into the dome and put the folded up round screen, seen to the right of the dome in the shot, in to produce:

Don't leave money next to the bowl when you're loading it because it will invariably disappear.

All loaded up in my custom rubber bands bowl. I like to use this one over the one with the black rubber as it has a slightly larger central hole.

Hopefully that goes some way to clear up the verbal rubbish I leave about the place.

You know, what may work better and would look nicer is to use a downstem such as this:

(I didn't highlight it but there's another screen, the elbow screen I guess fitted to the male joint so the weed stays where it needs to be)
The vaporpedia article says it uses an 18.8mm connection, but I've never owned a piece of glass in my life (I lived in england until recently, but don't worry I'm safe in Canada now) so I'm no expert on how these things work.


I'll probably go in town soon and look for one of these things regardless, not like I have a job or anything to go to....alas.

How is the end result different from just packing the elbow normally?

You've still got all your dry sift left? I dunno. This was just an effort to make your (my) shit last longer. You could fill up both I suppose, that should work well.

Either way I have since tired of that idea. Right now I've got a down stem stuck on the heating element and its like if the guy from purple days and the guy from arizer had a baby, but unfortunately it was a still birth. No-one wants to read text so here's a picture

Next step is to head to the glass blowers and have the stem removed, have male and female joints fitted to the ends of the whip, one at each end obviously, then connect it all together to a bong. Then put it down, walk away and go do something productive with my life.

the electrician definitely gets the 'wierd shit done to the E' award!

It looks like you've basically created an herb disc system for the E by dropping your screen bomb in the bowl like that. I don't know how well it works, but one of the benefits of the E is getting the herb to fly around in the bowl so it gets evenly cooked.

I don't like the idea of inhaling gauze particles...you might want to look into that one.

CD was going to, at one time, make some custom E bowls that were shorter and maybe a little thicker. I liked the one he sent me...ask him if you want...he has a glass thread here.

Yea, I can see the benefits of the original bowl now that you mention it. My concern was the weed would either just go straight up into the elbow and get torched or need a stir, and the rest would be pushed to the sides and perhaps not feel the full benefits. With the downstem the weed can still move around, albeit to a much lesser degree, but will always be in the direct air flow. I understand I should put up some video evidence of it in action so you can all judge for yourselves, which i will get onto.

Im hearing you on the screen particles issue, my hands must be so full f them by now i guess i thought i may as well pack my lungs full too. This is only a protoype I guess can be my excuse.

Im not sure who CD and i left all my compact disks at home but ill have a look for his thread and see what i can see there. It would be good also to have someone involved in the vaporizing scene to do all the messing, but if not its not far down the road to torontos glass studio

CD = Clear Dome Look for Clear Dome Glass... I've seen some nice pics of the glasswork somewhere here!!

Ah, here you go:

Thanks lo...I probably should have done that.

Electrician...CD is a mod here who was one of the first five members. A good guy who owns an Extreme and blows his own glass. So he has some history tweaking the E with custom glass pieces.

good news everyone, through some divine act this thing actually works and hits pretty well. you can get some pretty large and consistent clouds going if thats what youre into. i was savoring a bowl last night that seemed to go on forever which in my world is somewhere between 1 and 2 hours, using about 1/3 of a cyclone bowl which is enough to half fill the stem. ill add some pictures to this post if and when i capture something of value

i encourage you all to try this out

I'm so confused

LOL.. me too, I kind of get the idea but pics would sure help.

Yea Im hearing that. Disregard all other posts:

This shows the full stem, mines broken because there's something wrong with me.
The area the male joint takes up is the bowl. A round screen sits at the bottom of it, and as youll see another screen can be dropped into the top to seal the bowl. To load it you can attach an elbow joint, then can use it as a vacuum, this will work hot or cold which is nice.

In a cyclone bowl its that amount

The screen used to form the bowls ceiling. I push it down with either a bowl poker or a piece of whip tubing.

me having a go. I didn't actually inhale because I cant multitask.
The idea was to ensure the herbs would always be in direct airflow but still be able to move, which was a useful feature in the cyclone bowl.

I think it's pretty easy to use, seems to me to be working better than the original cyclone bowls but this could well just be me forcing myself to believe it having wasted so much time.

A new day a new idea. Try packing the elbow then take a large screen and use it as a cover. Then to vaporize place the elbow joint directly to the heating element and inhale. my test materials have been through many other tests already and i dunno when ill have new so i cant accurately comment. But it works thats for sure, hopefully it also works efficiently

so you're just holding the elbow in place to the element while you hit?

Sounds like how to use an ssv. It would be interesting if it hits any harder this way. If nothing else, the E is an extremely flexible unit!

Yea, it is pretty similar now that you mention it, I'm a little ideas theif liek that. Personally, I'm using the downstem shown up the page somewhere since i managed to break all of my elbows, but since i imagine most people still have theirs intact then they might as well make use.

I think it will give a pretty clever hit and im dying to try the damn thing out properly, its doing a number on some already pretty damn brown weed. if nothing else you can use it to vaporize your choice products into total oblivion. if anyone does give it a go id be interested to hear f it works.

But yea, the extreme is just ridiculously versatile.

Oh dear, my downstem broke. What happened? who knows, but i most definitely did not hit it with a hammer. The point is, m gonna put a dome screen in the female joint (it does fit and everything) then form this contraption:

The elbow to element wont make a decent seal so that can be ignored,. This seals quite nicely but looks like total shit. Ill report back when the damage is done

Interesting fact, except the cyclone bowl everything in that picture has been in some way broken. One thing i am never to have is a glass collection.

Man.
This looks just like my collection last year. Funny enough i didnt break any of it, it was my best mate, (Who was also my housemate at the time heh) .

I had possessed your friend. likewise i shattered that bong yesterday by pressing it down on a table (in order to press something held beneath it). Couldve been fucking fatal. Wasnt though and i escaped unharmed, having well learned the lesson not to buy $20 glass.

Tomorrow i will purchase some real wares, one with an 18.8mm downstem - bowl connection, into which will fit my trusty extreme. We can now add another tally to the list of things it can do

heheh great thread , it remind me when I start to mod my e .. for some reason I have stop to mess with this project ...but now i'm back , I have ordered the glass pieces I need to to make the E way more efficient (event if it is really efficient) and will start to make pieces as soon as I recieve my order , so you should se me around in the next weeks

Id be very interested to see what you can come out with. Upping the efficiency is getting pretty difficult for me though how low are you looking to get it? Currently I'm using what would just cover the screen in the regular bowl, and its getting a lot of thick hits.

Heres my latest from the 90 page monster:

Looks ugly but whatever, next up is a diffused ash catcher and maybe a nug storage area somewhere in the piping, for resin collection purposes of course.


Holy shit, i just checked out your page of glass works and it looks like youre just the man for the job. If i can get some money together would you mind a request or two sometime in the future? Id much prefer that to buying from a shop.

thanks ! btw be carefull using the E this way or with a dirrect draw straw , I feel like you can easily break the ceramic element/male gong of the extreme , at least the old version cause it is pretty fragile . and yes you can make your request via email ( Cleardomeglass@gmail.com ) as usual I keep myself busy so if you'r not too hurry you can send me a request. did someone seen this picture (http://www.fuckcombustion.com/viewtopic.php?id=114&p=2 post #27 )? sad that turboimagehost had delet it , that was a great hit , but I still can see the thumbsnail , dont know if you can

im gonna bring back this dirty thing to do nothing more than cross post from the massive thread


This is the basic idea; a 14 to 18 adapter (its the best bowl design ive found thus far) into a downstem which has some tubing running from it to lungs. Nice big hits, but it takes some effort to set up perhaps. The solution would be to make or find a stand that will hold it on its side, probably against the wall for stability. the knock off wand can be used with ease and if i want to hit it through a bong i can take it off and do so. what do you think of that world?
