The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

Baked & Fried
i think its a cool idea.. but i never turned it upside down either... paranoia i'm sure.. but the wires and computer chip and whatnot is above the heat when it is upside-down... and that is in the air path; when right-side up, it is not an issue because it's before the heat... just don't get baked and leave it upside-down and it should be cool, i'm guessing. if its upside down when you are hitting it only then i don't see a problem.

Lmaoo. That comment about getting super baked and leavin it upside down had me chuckling. Good point about the wires and circuitboard being exposed to heat this way, I never thought about that. However, im still curious about this method and still want an all glass vapor trail, without having to buy a new vape, so i think ill pickup one of those carbon adapters and see how it works. If there is any foul odour or taste present, or smell for that matter, I will stop using this method. Im curious to hear from others who have similar setups how their experiences with it is.

just don't leave it on between hits and stuff just in case haha. just attach it for each hit and i can't see it being a problem.
Ya man for sure! Thats what i was planning on doing anyways as the bowl would need to be stirred and I dnt want all that pressure on my bongs joint constantly just in case... Ive got a stereo matrix and that is my baby aha

Its not as short as yours though because i want to be able to sesh with friends easily, and this factor is decreased when the whip is too short.


That is my sesh with friends or gaming setup, bong stays right where it is. Just cork the top and put a hole in the middle to insert the whip of whatever length you prefer. Much better for guests I think, that way no worries about them dropping your piece...

Side note: If you look close at pic, I also put a cross cut in the middle of an old grinder screen and slid it on the cyclone bowl. My attempt to stop material from falling inside the unit.:D

I used to hit my EQ inverted out of a direct inject oil rig, I'd pack the bottom of the cyclone bowl and it would fit the 18mm male on my bubbler perfectly. It's a pain in the ass to do though, and I lost a cyclone bowl when a weird mix of heat and pressure cracked the class when I tried to pull it off when it was on there super tight. Also I used to always sketch out about cracking or bumping the heater. I don't even use a bubbler nowadays usually, the whip alone is just easier and I'd rather just use my bubbler for dabbing. When I do use it though I attach it to the end of the whip, the inverted hits aren't better enough than the whip hits to warrant all the trouble for me. Plus the EQ has an annoyingly short cord.

You might love it at first, in fact you probably will, but learn from my story, you'll probably get sick of it.

It sounds well worth the 40 bucks max I could spend. Im curious how much the flavour is improved and want the benefit of loss of drag. I am a little concerned on my bong joint's health putting the weight of the EQ on it though... Even though its not that heavy and I think my glass should be able to handle it. Its a 5 mm mobius

I never took my hand off of the EQ so the weight of it was never an issue for me. As far as taste and drag and all that I didn't notice enough of a difference to continue the inverted hits when I can hit the whip from my couch. At $40 it would make a cool think to do every once in a while though.

You could love it and have a completely different experience than me, just know that if you're lazy and/or like to just sit and hang out and take your sesh slow then the inverted hits aren't really for you.

True man, thanks for the insight. All the headshops in my area are all sold out of the adapters for now, I'll post back with an update once I get it! I dnt think Id be switching solely to this method, buy I definitely think it has its place. I do enjoy just chilling and having a long sesh, but then there are also times when its not an option, or I just want to get really baked and take many hits in quick concession. Cheers man, hope your day is going well, and everyone else's reading this!

Hey everyone,

After lurking for a few weeks I've finally decided that I must have the extreme q. However, money is tight and times are hard so I was wondering where I could get the best deal. I've searched on eBay but the cheaper products either say little about the specifics of the model and accessories, or do not contain many extras (mouthpieces, cyclone bowl, grinder). Since everyone here seems to have a phd in the q I thought it would be an appropriate place to ask.

P.S.
So far the best deal is under the golfmeister on eBay. His product isn't the cheapest, but it seems to have the most extras. Also, he seems to be the most reliable

You should be safe buying from any reputable dealer on Ebay..in the product listing they should say exactly what model it is and the accessories it comes with. I bought one back in December off Ebay, it came with everything it should have. I do believe that your product won't be under warranty if you buy from Ebay, but these things rarely break in the first place.

I got mine off ebay from some seller called stinkstuff said it had a warranty but I don't buy it. I would not worry about the model and if it's not used I would bet it comes with everything. Anyways it's kind of a out-dated vaporizer but does everything I need and more for a very good price now days. I'm about three years into it and love it. Cost me about $200 it's worth so much more then the asking price.

What is the bubbler joint size that I should look for when selecting a bubbler to use with my extreme Q?

I've looked through the thread and I can't find it. Help would be appreciated :)

I believe it is 18 mm. If the downstem or joint is that size the elbow that comes with the EQ will slide right in, making an airtight connection. Enjoy man! Thats my favourite way to enjoy mary jane.

So two elbows are used, 1 for the extreme, and 1 for the bubbler with a 18mm downstem, correct?

Do you have any recommendations for bubblers around $50 - $120? Most I see online don't list the downstrem size...

Sorry man I havent been looking into glass lately but anything with an 18 mm joint will do the job great. Keep in mind u don't want to buy too big of a bong/ bubbler as there is already a decent amount of unwanted drag due to the whip. Cheers man and happy glass shopping to you, I was thinking about picking myself up another bong for my bday this year, we'll see!

Yes use both elbows. The EQ comes with a short and a long whip. Your going to need to cut the elbows off and add to the whip of your choice. Make sure you buy your whip from a reputable source. I just got one off of ebay and can't help but wonder if it's bad for my health.

Why would you cut them off? Just warm it up enough with the fan blowing hot air through it and it will slip right off.

I was thinking about getting one of those mini water towers for the pinnacle and getting a 14mm male to 18mm male adapter, that way it's truly an all glass path. I don't know if I trust those towers though...what if the water falls down through some how into my Q. :uhoh:

Came up with the same thoughts. Inverted Q is a better option IMHO.

On the inverted Q, agree wholeheartedly with what cellardoor said above. It's fun at first, but not the safest for you, the Q or your glass. Short hose (of SILICON tubing) to 2nd elbow thru glass still works best for me most of the time. If the hose is clean or new, I can't tell a difference other than having the base of the Q touching my nose when upside down. Taste & drag is pretty much the same.

If your the TL: DR: type then just read the colors for the short version.

I have now had my EQ for just about one full year and have decided to stop back by the forums once again to say hello!

Hello!

Would also just like to add that this vape is still doing amazing things for me and has not let me down yet a year later! For the price I paid ($140 new, latest model) it is the most effective on the market and has saved me tons with its amazing efficiency. One interesting trick I have learned this past year and loved has saved me even more. After doing some indoor hydroponic growing and harvesting the females, I had lots (5oz) of trim and stems that I saved and planned on using for hash in the future. One of my friends came over who loves to smoke and just wanted to try smoking the trim from a bowl to see how high it would get him. He got a little high, but he said the flavor was terrible and not really worth it.

Anyway, he thought using the EQ could possibly enhance the flavor so we decided to give it a try. Low and behold the results were far beyond my expectations and for several months I have found myself only using the trim in the EQ while saving bud for smoking out of my bong and pipe and using in cooking recipes mixed with the ABV trim.

My normal routine is to preheat the vape at 200C for 10 min, then drop the temp to 170C and add about 2 pinches of trim and stem which usually fills the cyclone bowl to the black part of the bowl. I notice when I put the elbow piece in, I can see a small amount of compressing occur in the cyclone bowl. I then usually start pulling slow, full capacity breaths. I do around 3 of these at 170c, then grab the black part of the bowl, and very top of the elbow (be careful the glass is hot) and give it a quick shake. I then increase the temp 5c to 175c. I repeat this process while indulging in entertainment until I become sufficiently medicated(which always is around 2 or 3 hits at 190c for me(about 15 hits total)).

That ends my first session... on TRIM! WTF!

I then usually turn off the vape till next sesh or switch to the potpourri dish at 100c with the fan on 1 and a cotton ball with a few drops of essential oil in the dish to freshen the dank basement air and enhance the strain of trim that im using with some synergy blends such as the ones found on the link below(crazy combinations FTW!).

http://www.amazon.c/om/gp/product/B002RSVTHQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3PKW778P6JAD9

On my second session I start at the temp I left off, do a hit or 2 while its warming up and then repeat the previous process until I'm done with my hits on 200c(around 10 hits). At this point I either keep going and get really fucked, or save it for session 3. Session 3 is just the same process starting where you left off to 220c and then hitting continuously there till wrecked. Then I put the remains in the ABV jar.

Since I've been doing this for nearly 2 months now, and the stash of trim is barely going down, I see no immediate need to change all that trim into hash. As a note my EQ is not modified in any way, and sometimes I fill up some bags but im mostly using the whip, if someone wants the details of that I can post them.

Also be sure to check out the new season of Arrested Development, or the whole show if you haven't watched it yet! It's fantastic.

:myday:You got trim? Boy you were lucky. When I were a lad all we got were leaves and we had to take the stems and seeds too. We'd roll that up and hope we got all the seeds out. Nothing like smoking a stem or seed to pep up yer day (and maybe blow the end off yer joint). We got plenty stoned too.

hi,
owned an EQ for a while and loved every second of it, but as I was reading through some of these posts for new ideas (definitely trying out a bong) I saw the semi-scare about a melting piece that could be bad for you. Sorry if its old news but I cant seem to find any info on it, and was wondering if any more definitive info had come to light on it or if it was all still just speculation. Last thing I read was it was a composite, and was ok, just wanted to see if there was any conformation on that

On a separate note, any suggestions for good bongs that go well with the EQ, I've always vaped so i dont know anything about them

Hey man, not sure about the meltin thing, but any bong/ bubbler you decide to go with is going to make your vaping experience that much more enjoyable. One thing u should look for is getting a bong that has an 18 mm joint/ downstem so you will have no need for an adapter and will be able to vape bong away! I recommend a nice scientific piece, I use a mobius stereo matrix 60 t and get very smooth flavourful rips. Of course, thats just one of the many options. Cheers man! Peace and pot. Hope everyones doing well today
