- destroy the cyclone bowlfinchrock24 said:
If you just want to use the unit as you get it and not do the modifications "the electrician" suggests then here are my thoughts. I'm not going to write about using the bag so this is just about the whip.finchrock24 said:
I tried doing an elbow pack yesterday and got a mouth full of herb lol. What did I do wrong? I packed it pretty tight, but the problem was when I pulled the herb of course goes up the elbow! Could someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong?? Thanks!hereatlast said:

Many fuckers have been asking how to set up the elbow method with the Extreme / V-Tower. Here is how I do it.
1. First grind up your bud finer than this. For some reason my grinder could not get this particular bud any finer. This is a perfectly measured amount, I packed it first and then emptied it out to show quantity.
2. Pack it in just tight enough to not fall out when placed into the cyclone bowl. Leave your cyclone bowl empty unless you are showing off and want to blitz some buddies. Suck on the whips mouthpiece and the air flow should feel slightly restricted, no restriction = pack a bit more bud and a bit tighter, too much restriction = give the elbow a quick stir and re pack a little looser.
3. Here is the nicely toasted remains, I really hit this elbow hard for photo purposes, with the last 2 hits at 260c and as you can see there are a few pieces that are too dark.
I understand some people like thicker/more concentrated hits, something that can be achieved by 'packing the bowl'. The younger crowd and bong users often like a thicker/more concentrated (and smokey) hit.
That can be easily achieved with the Extreme and V-Tower, it's probably something I should of mentioned before, because the method I'm about to describe is very popular in some circles and extremely popular with those who collect 'pollen' in their (Wicca) Kif Box.
Instead of filling the bowl as you normally would, leave it empty, turn the heat up a few degrees higher than normal, finely grind your herbs, (or use 'pollen powder' from a kif box) and then fill/pack the (dome shaped) screen that sits in the elbow shaped glass piece. You'll be surprised how much you can pack in there, now set the elbow on the bowl as you normally would, let it 'sit and percolate' a few minutes and inhale, that will give you a VERY thick, concentrated, monster size hit . If you're using Pollen from a Wicca Box you're getting a super tasty, super concentrated amount of the finest part of the plant so you can imagine the effect! Blowing balloons with the screen packed is my preference, as the concentrated/thick vapor can be harsh; the balloon helps greatly with that giving the air time to cool.
I tried this out earlier tonight and got rocked! The first hit was super thick, the second was thick, then the third and fourth were about done. I didn't pack the screen all the way full, but left a little concave at the top. Afterward I emptied the cap into the bowl and it looked to be about half of what I normally use in the bowl. This may be the thickest AND most efficiently I've used the Extreme!
True i used to always preheat my bowls/elbows of weed, but i find it is better not to, or for not too long anyways. It is more important to just let the unit heat up a little bit b4 starting. I find letting the weed simmer will give u a heavier first and second hit, but the latter hits are already cooked and not as good. Also while the herb is fresh in the elbow, rather than been heated for 10 mins, u get a much better flavour.vape4life said:
IME i preheat the unit and empty cyclone for 10 minutes, pack an elbow, and can get thick vapour at 170-175C immediately, almost identical to if the unit has been on for an hour or with the weed preheated (except preheated varies as described above).Mr. Smoke No More said:True i used to always preheat my bowls/elbows of weed, but i find it is better not to, or for not too long anyways.

Another little trick i find useful when using the whip, basically the slower your draw or hit the thicker that hit will be. If you hit it too hard like a bong or something, the hits are kinda airy. Can anyone second this experience?
for a solid price...paid $190 for it. Unfortunately I can't vape the good herbs for 9 days...9 long, agonizing days that I have to stare at my Q with the potpurri sitting in their (at least it makes my room smell good AND i can play with the remote, which by the way is totally fucking wicked awesome).finchrock24 said:I just got my brand new Q today
I have been entertaining the thought of vaping some other herbs like peppermint or something. Does anyone else vape other herbs in the Q? What about mixing some peppermint and weed together?
. Can anyone direct me towards instructions? I would greatly appreciate any information on how to have a proper bag going again

you will not be disappointed in the least if you use it right. oy vay, that diesel would be tasty. I'm vaping some c99 right now, really does makes smoking taste like shit by comparison. try +-190C or so for best flavor with the QMr. ShawnJon said:
It is pretty hard to explain in words. did you throw away your manual? it explains it well. maybe someone can take a pic of their manual and post that. I just use a regular elastic band now, those little o rings are too tight to put on the oven bags I have.AlaskaExpress said:Hello everyone,
I own a regular Extreme vape and a couple of days ago I accidentally undid a balloon thinking it was really easy to put back together but you can already tell where this post is going
PS; I tried going to Vaporpedia and followed the Rockwise link only to find out it doesn't exist anymore.
Thank you all in advance.

I tried a Q for the first time a few days ago. with my E, I get the best hits at 170-175C. with the Q we had to go up to 185-195C or so to get the same hits. that is thick hits in the whip, elbow pack method, no preheat. I suppose that is just the more accurate heat sensors or whatnot on the Q. I think Mr. Smoke No More was talking about using an E.vape4life said:
