Best results with conventional pieces - Low temps (180c +4 over time up till 230) + longer session.
Stir only once to keep heat in the cyclone. Vapor becomes more visible around 190c. But if you draw hard or sip real low you can pull more of the visible vapor out. Hope this helps from one new user.
Easy removal tip. Just blow once into whip to clear elbow screen before removing it from the cyclone. If you accidentally blow too hard, put an extra in the elbow and forget it OR have a long pair of tweezers handy. I keep a cleaning brush handy too.
Any Ddave mod or screen trick that brings the materials closer to the element relies more on radiant heat than all hot air. IF that is desirable. I'd familiarize with what comes with the kit in the EQ (and read the FC forums) before getting that 18mm piece.
As for me, I'm thinking a well designed elbow piece with quality glass would trap more heat which would be great for elbow packing. Anybody buy from Oregon glass?
Ì had a good first session however I can't seem to obtain the same success?
Terrific! It sounds like how I pictured it. Did you get the right angle 18mm elbow or did you pick something else out? Would you say it keeps the heat in the elbow better? How well can you see the vapor? I'd like to know anything more about Oregon glass from anybody. At some point, I might get a right angle with a few personalized specs. But the straight piece might be a good choice for those who like more of a SSV wand setup. There even was a 45 degree elbow. Oh and check out the 18mm "Carbed Glass Vape Adapter" on their site.

I will keep trying I quess?Enjoying fresh sun dried/cured blueberry in my EQ tonight.
With my rig (SSV wand and Ddave adapter with SSV fatty plugged into my D020 bubbler:
I just set the EQ at 446F and use the fan on high.
Gives me a lot of visible vapor.
One of the best side benefits of using the SSV wand with EQ elbow screen(with herb loaded above, not in this screen) is the ease of cleaning. Actually I ordered two screens a few months ago and the first screen still looks like new. The other flat screen in the SSV wand is much easier to clean than the EQ elbow screen and a
The airflow of this design is just great. Since that elbow screen is always clean and the way it fits in the SSV wand allows air to not only flow through the bottom of the screen, but also around the sides; so that the whole surface of the screen is used to move more air.
I am not as creative as I once was?
The main part of the mod is an 18mm f/f adapter.
Looks like your closer to the heater?
Hi oldiebutgoodie,
Correct. Originally, was just the F/F adapter and the stock Q elbow. Performance increased from both Elbow Packs and standard bowl loads (for me, elbow packs resulted in more vapor, standard load more flavor).
The along came Tweak, improving on perfection, he suggested the SSV Wand. And improve things it did! You are again correct in stating that the material is placed between the stock SSV Wand screen and Q-elbow screen. And as odd as it sounds, performance improved dramatically. Not sure on the technicals behind it, but a medium-strength draw results in the herb packing itself up against the SSV Wand Screen and performing like an Elbow Pack, but with less drag. A slower drag and you will be able to watch ALL your material dancing on top of the Q-elbow screen within the Wand.
On many occasions, I prefer a quick-strong session, whereby I can extract the most goodies with the least amount of draws. The F/F & SSV Wand combo allow just that. What used to take 20 draws to reach desired levels, now takes 4-5. And, on the chance that I'd prefer a slower, more-draw but more flavorful session, I simply load the F/F adapter and place the SSV Wand on top (using the SSV Wand in the same manner as the Q-Elbow), drop temp a bit. Then sit back & enjoy.
Hope this helps!

Hi Liberty, depends on what you're looking for.
* Quick session: Starts and stops at max temperature you normally vape to. This gives quickest extraction.
* Flavorful Session: Starts low and stops at max temperature you normally vape to. This gives just about the same medicating experience, but you get to enjoy the flavors much more during the beginnings of the session.
* Some now, Some Later session: Starts and ends at low temperature, more of an uplifting-energetic effect. Then product is saved for later vaporizing at higher temperatures (more sedative, pain killing effect).
Hope this helps!

Hey Da_Man, I dont think that is the adapter that will fit nicely within the Arizer. Here's a picture of mine. Look at the middle ring section and at how they differ. The one I found fits very nicely. From feedback we see on this site on the other adapter, the center glass ring is too wide to allow the adapter to sit on the heater.
Hope that helps! If you find other adapters, send the links my way and we'll eventually locate the proper adapter.

Or simply draw off the Chillum like a whip in between filling bags. Plug and Play all the way.
Also took my EQ elbow piece that had the stem broken off earlier and work some silicone tubing over the hole to made a poor man's SSV setup for whip vaping. Even re-purposed my misfit chillum pipe that I almost threw away several times because the hole was too small and the bowl shape was to rounded and open ended to be a good combustion pipe. (Imagine the inside of a socket wrench adapter.) But it is also the perfect mouthpiece for direct whipping for all the same reasons. Take that combustion! All my glass is going to the vapor side.
YES, I do love it! I have a junk drawer full of random/mismatched possibilities.
I even have a rectangular metal bat/bottle opener that is the right dimension for packing/tamping my PAX with. But the glass wand that comes with the EQ is one of the best multi-tools ever. AmIright? I would own one even If I didn't already own an EQ. Oh, and it works as a plug for closing that hose.
The Carbed Glass Vape Adapter that oregon glassblower offers seems to be an all-in-one solution compared to the dDave and SSV setup. It has two outputs for a wand and a 14mm male. I'd ask for an 18mm fitting for compatibility. Would like to hear some thoughts from some FC'ers on this for a possible design for the EQ.
