    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    Actually now I am getting vapor but still not high. I'm wondering if the problem isn't me. Along with the vaporizer I bought some of those legal herb blends, I read a post from someone who said he couldn't get high for months after trying those, could this be it? Anyway I threw out those legal...

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    I do have to disconnect the data cables to the motherboard to take it apart anyway. Also it's barely more than a month old so I doubt it oxidized. It seems to be repeating this pattern of gradually working worst and worst until I take it apart, I think I'm at my 3rd time and I won't keep the EQ...

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    I didn't notice anything wrong, and again I took it apart, put it back together and it works like new. I did notice quite a bit of herb powder on the bottom in the machine but don't see how that would be the cause.

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    Well again the problem seems to slowly be creeping back, as if something is displacing itself with use causing the actual temperature yo drop lower and lower from what is shown on the LCD. Now I'm worried the company won't consider this a defect and that I'd be stuck with this worthless unit...

    Trick to get finer grind with 4 piece grinder

    I had used an electric coffee grinder forever, so I was new to these 4 piece manual grinders so it took me a few uses before figuring out this trick myself. I now much prefer this than taking out a coffee grinder each time which often ground too fine and clogged my screens.

    Trick to get finer grind with 4 piece grinder

    I was about to go back to an electric coffee grinder as my manual 4 piece grinder was making a much too coarse grind. Then I got the idea to hold it upside down while grinding to force the herb to stay in the grinding compartment and keep grinding for a while. I can now get a perfectly fine...

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    I took my EQ apart and put it back together and now I get the set temperature instead of 100 degrees less and it's back to working like new. Now rather than keep raising the temp to 500 and barely getting anything I now need to lower it because the vapor is too dense!

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    Well I'm continuing my tests as I thought of something last night. I remembered the EQ has 3 temp sensors and I believe it averages all 3, well if one of them died then that's just putting the average way off rather than cause a total failure as if it had only one sensor. So I've put a digital...

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    Well the finer grind wasn't the answer, I'm still barely getting anything. I guess the next thing to try is to dry it, but how do I dry it? This really sucks it's been like 3 weeks I barely get anything out of my EQ and I already sold my Volcano so I can't test the weed in it. Thanks

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    I just realized something, the one thing that was different the first week or so I had my EQ (the time it worked its best) is that I was using weed I had ground in my coffee grinder. However, along with the EQ I bought a new manual grinder. Once the weed that was ground in the coffee grinder...

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    Oh one more thing, I don't understand how drying the herb can cause it to produce more vapor, this seems to be in reverse. Or is it that when you dry it water evaporates out of it allowing it to be heated better as water will tend to cool it as it evaporates itself before the THC, I think I'm...

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    I haven't dropped or knocked the EQ. I think it might be an herb and/or grind coarseness issue (I have a fully automatic espresso machine and know that grind coarseness can make a night and day difference, it's probably one of the single variables that can affect the taste the most). The herb...

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    Well after 3 different types I'm still not getting the milky hits I got the first week or so even at 482*F (when I used to get them at 380-400*F). There is vapor but it's just not as dense. Could it just be really bad luck with product? Or is there any possible defect with the unit that could...

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    Well I tried a different type yesterday and it seems much better, still not quite as good as luckily the first stuff I tried in my EQ which was the best. I also noticed, both using a manual grinder, that the herb that barely gives any vapor tends to grind into large chunks while the one that...

    Barely getting any vapor from my EQ anymore - bad herb?

    Since about a week my EQ barely gives me any vapor, I used to be able to get maybe 2-4 dense hits from an elbow pack, now I get maybe 2 very very faint hits and need to raise the temp like crazy (like 464-482*F) and still barely get anything. I'm quite sure its due to the new type of herb I'm...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Yes I meant screens. The bottom one won't need much if any cleaning because the airflow forces the bottom one clean while forcing the top one to clog. It was the same with my volcano, after like 5 years the original bottom filter was still like new while the top one clogged in resin and fine...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Is it me or is the EQ very sensitive to filter cleanliness? The efficiency seems to fall by more than half if I don't clean the filter for several uses (even if it seems quite clean). What I'll do is alternate between a filter in use and one soaking. With my volcano I had to go 1-2 years with no...

    Parted with my Volcano today

    Actually I took my Volcano apart twice, once after a small fall that decalibrated the fragile analog thermostat (one MAJOR advantage of the Digital model, it's FAR more durable than fragile analog thermostats). I fixed it as it had set it so like max was 150, I was able to get it back pretty...

    Parted with my Volcano today

    As I mentioned a few weeks ago I wanted to replace my Volcano with another vape, I decided after reading forums and reviews that the EQ was a good upgrade to the Volcano even though it's less than half the price. So far I love the EQ and like it more than the Volcano as I no longer have to mess...

    Getting 2-3 times more vapor from better herb?

    I tried "regular" and "good" herb in my vaporizer and I'll need to test more to be sure but I seem to be getting 2-3 times more vapor using the good herb compared to the regular one (for example the regular one will give me maybe 2 good elbow pack hits in my EQ while the good one will give at...
