The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

@biohacker
I read somewhere that you where up to 2 grams per day?
You must be vaporizing very weak cannabis?

0.5 grams and I'm devastated!

The GDP I had last night put me out!

OK I used a Q!
DDave kit 18mm

My FC186 and a ASH COLLECTOR milked up real fast many times!
CHILLUIM for the mouth piece!

Once again the EQ + HT + OG Kush give me a punch to the inside of my face!

I let the EQ heat up at my preferred temp for about 15 minutes.
Load up my EQ bowl in a M2M and place in cyclone bowl.
Place HT on top and wait about 5 minutes... In my language that is when i get bored of waiting...!!LMAO!
Hit it hard and it milks almost instantly!
I get about 10 hits at that temp and can keep going up in temp but find i never need to.
It medicates me so effectively it is almost a shame!
My stash is going to last so much longer now!!

I think an @DDave kit is in my future...
PS... got a link to the kit again??

I NEVER take T Breaks!
I only use at night so from 5am to around 6pm i do not touch the herb.
That way, at least for me, i find it keeps my tolerance lower.
Unfortunately i still have to work... Come on Lottery!!! LOL!!

This works for me too. 15 years and no t break and I vape every night and still get knocked the fuck out.

T-breaks seem to be like "Water Boarding"!

Tolerance is funny. The less you take the higher you get. There is science to back this up. When I was smoking I got obsessed with tolerance and not feeling the magic of weed anymore. I found if I got my tolerance too low it made it unpleasant. I haven't considered tolerance since stopping combustion and using my eq. I'm only 4 weeks in and still have very low tolerance to it. It's hard to vape alot of weed like you can smoke. There just isn't enough time in the night to consume more than a gram max. That's my experience anyway. I always fall asleep with planned vape still in the bowl.

You consome a gram before bed?

I must be a light weight?

I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joints at night,
I smoke two joints in the afternoon
and it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace
and two in time of war
smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
But @kellya86 vapes much more‎!!!!

GDP in the evening
GSC all day long

4:30 pm very fine wine!

0.60 qrams per DAY any more and I'd be hospitalized! !

Maybe there is too many crystals on my colas?

You don't grow for me, but I grow for you
it was not so long ago, I sold you a pound or two‎
Crystals on my colas, herb in my vape ‎
Grown by you,

[Chorus]
If we could plant anew, I wouldn't waste an eighth‎
I'd gladly share a bowl and never dare to waste ‎
Those crystals on my colas, terps and flavinoids‎, grown by you

The herb is not just a plant, a vape is not a toy
When you find the strain you love
It'll fill your life with joy‎....

Ok! TBreak has officially gone on tooo long!!!!!‎

Sincere apologies for the derail!!!!

THE EQ ROCKS!!!!

@ataxian , you gotta withdraw that 'Like'....hahahaha

I posted it and I don't even like it!!!

Have an awesome evening FC!

Not to derail this tread However I must say we are in California!
Penty of sunshine and the soil is amazing!

Outside yield is amazing!

The Q is only a cheap vaporizer which does the job of medication!
Make sure you have a ddave kit!

I have managed to vape a g in a long night but it wasn't easy. I would vape nowhere near that normally. Probably 0.5 a day max. There just not enough time in the night to get through any more.

I only vape at night now, from about 7pm through to about 12 midnight. The first part of the night i take 1 or 2 hits at a time on my dbv while i'm still doing stuff. The second half of the night is EQ time where i have a long, slow session while watching tv/reading/online etc. I use about .4 max and, like @kellya86, would struggle to get through more.

@lazylathe can attest to the potency of the high quality AAA+ BC Bud that we both vape! I could rip .5g in a single rip without hesitation. Remember, EVERYONE is different - my lungs could be much larger than yours, and I predict they are. I'm an athlete, and with 10+ years of vaping/combusting behind me - i'm pretty sure it's increased my lung capacity. Doctors are usually baffled, and for the record they are 7.5L in volume (i'm 6'3, 185lbs). Due to too much time on hands, shift work (being able to cope with extreme fatigue, lack of sleep and brain inflammation), I would vape in the mornings, and when not working could fly through 2g/day EASY. I have a feeling i've been around in this vape game longer than many here. You experiences could change through time, as it always wasn't like this.

That was me before shifts. However, even so - skip a night of vaping = skip a night of sleep.

.6g = All day long? Must be quite the micro doses! Now I see why you love the Solo and Nano so much! I love bowls that are about .25g and how difficult is it to have just 4-6 bowls during the afternoon? I started vaping at 11am yesterday and finished at 7pm, total consumption = 1.5g. But i'm in the process of tapering my consumption down (cold turkey was a massive FAIL) so for the first time in a decade, am weighing every session in order to keep track, and more importantly conserve.

Mine lasted 3 days of absolutely zero sleep, and then a family emergency pushed me over. Cold turkey does not work for my kind of tolerance I have learned the hard way.

I could see that, and that's where many differences seem to be obvious - day time vaping. That seems to kill tolerance. However, my issues are not accurately being described here...although it would be nice to lower tolerance, I think i'm already accomplishing that quickly. For me the main concern here is a major dependence on it in order to initiate sleep. It's actually backfired in that I used to be able to sleep 6-8 hours straight vaped. But now it only helps me initiate, but not maintain, although there are other factors presently (stress).

FML I add to the apologies for the derail!!!!

Since the T-break is over, and a new strategy is implemented, I will enjoy an EQ and DDave Mod (full kit) next week! It will take weeks to get from 1.5g/day down to my goal of .5g/day or less and i'm happy to have EQ and DDave to be my tools of choice to get 'er done!

@biohacker
I was doing some side by sides with Herbie and the EQ these past few days, it's tough but someone has to do it!
While i am not going to post a public review because everyone is different and i really don't feel like backing up everything i say with science facts... I will reveal a few juicy bits IMO!

First off the temps used:
Herbie i go straight to MAX (229)
EQ is start at 198 and end at around 210.
( I guess that the EQ's reading is about 20 degrees C off, based from the ABV from Herbie)

The set up:
EQ


Herbie


The EQ is a BEAST! If you have about 15 minutes to let it heat up correctly and then allow a heat soak for the load, you will be blown away by the potency of this device.
The first hit is amazing, with great flavour and taste and nice dense cloud of vapour.
Subsequent hits are almost as good but the flavour decreases rapidly as you go along.

While i love my Herbie, it could not produce the same effects as the EQ.
However, if you are after some seriously tasty and super smooth hits, the Herbie is the better choice IMO.
Flavour lasts throughout the whole session and the clouds are great.
The ABV comes out a straw or light brown color, i can get it darker but it takes a lot of work and not too much vapour is produced any more.

Now the important part for me: EFFECTS
I am down to 2 EQ baskets per night and am sleeping 8 hours straight.
I still get massive clouds and great taste and the bowl needs a stir towards the end but the ABV comes out a nice medium brown.
I also find that i do not need to vape in bed before sleeping when using the EQ, so a bonus load for the next day!

With Herbie i find i still toss and turn and wake up often.
I am using about 4 to 5 bowls per night and they hold a lot more than an EQ basket...
Amazing flavour and taste and awesome clouds!!
Very clean high that i find great for day time use.

My EQ has proven to be a worthy vape to keep for me!
Simple, effective and cheap!

Can't wait to have an EQ challenge vape-a-thon with you!

I am amazed the eq can even come close to such a machine. When I purchased my eq I thought I was buying a stepping stone. Something entry level, cheap and cheerful to last till i can afford a 500 quid, high end model. Now it seems the eq may be with me for some time. I wonder if going from the eq (first and only vape iv used), to a herbalizer or volcano digital would feel like a massive anti climax. They cost 3 or 4 times the price, but are they 4 times better?

I'm afraid so, at least IME it can be fun, but in the end they are definitely not 4 times better. Same thing here, EQ one of my first vapes, and then the dangling carrot VAS. There are some amazing vapes that aren't cheap, and the Herbie is one of them (sold mine last year). I think of the Herbie as a more refined EQ, but it definitely has limitations as noted by lazylathe....one of them being the upper ceiling for temp.

Great post @lazylathe and thanks for the feedback!! Your experiences with different vapes and sleep quality fascinates me as it's something i've never thought much about before. Recently i've completely removed conduction out of my life (exclusively using VripMaster) and the medicated effects are fantastic, and sleep quality seems to be the same as when using Mighty as the daily driver which has decent conduction.

Looking forward to getting my EQ and DDave Mod! DdaveModDay will be coming soon!

The sleeping thing is one thing that has really blown me away about vaping. When I combusted I used to smoke right before bed and it would still take an hour for me to sleep. Now that I'm vaping I have a couple of elbows at 9 and plan to have another at 11 then sleep but I never get to see the last elbow. Vaping knocks me out.

Are the more expensive vapes better? It all depends on what you are wanting or looking for.
Herbie is an awesome machine and it is still going strong almost 2 years later!
IMO the Herbie is the BEST bag vape I have used period!
Blows my Volcano out of the water with ease. I find the Volcano bags to be very dry and I end up coughing a lot.
This is not the case with Herbie for some reason.

Anyway I digress...

The EQ is a great machine and if you spend some time with it and experiment until you find your sweet spot, it is a very rewarding vaporizer!
Whip, bag or vape bonging are all easy with this vape.

The higher temp that the EQ can reach is a huge advantage for us medical users that need to venture there to reap all the benefits from our herb.

I would recommend sticking with the EQ and maybe look into a portable for on the go!

I think I will do this. I have my eyes on an arizer solo. Feel like I have some loyalties towards arizer now for some reason. Jus harvested my first crop so I am about to save a fortune on not buying stash. 70 quid a week to be exact. Sometimes more if it's shit. So in 2 weeks I can have a solo.
Iv heard people say that when they get the solo the eq gathers dust. I do not want this to happen to me an my eq.

In my experience the Solo is a good portable. Remember it is a conduction vape, so the effects are going to be different. When it arrives charge it up and load a stem and set the Solo to 4. Go to town and when the vapor decreases bump up the temp.
Also remember to not forget the stem in the Solo as it will cook the load...

I have one in a drawer somewhere...

Congrats on the harvest!! What strain? UK Cheese?

For the performance, reliability, cost, and simple fact you could run it over with a car (and possibly have it function after the ordeal)... +1 for the Solo!
