    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    eshen - I find that the flat screen sits at an slight but aggravating angle. So what I do that works very well is to shape the screen with my thumbs just a little to make it concave (that is, like a dome). Then I insert it into the bowl (I use tweezers) sideways (it bends the screen a...

    Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

    Thx Max, that was actually my impression as well per earlier posts/discussion (i.e., the airflow's purpose is for unit cooling). But a short review above associated the continuous airflow with an "effortless draw", and I don't really see the connection so I wondered if I was missing something...

    Discontinued The Oracle Infrared Vaporizer

    Canna Hound, I'm with IAmKrazy2, would love to hear more too, especially about . . . That sounds great, but confuses me a bit. Identical results in what respect?

    Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

    Since the ViVape is (I assume) fan driven, is the air flow strong enough to push through a small water chamber like on the Aquavape or a bubbler (i.e., ~1-1.5 oz)? And is the flow the same on both the whip and bag settings? Thanks.

    Fruity Rice Krispy Squares...(and then some!)

    Vitolo, Thanks very much! I was thinking (incorrectly I see) that there might be something special you were doing with the Krispies, didn't occur to me that it would be your butter recipe + the standard Krispies squares recipe. I'll check out the marshmallow bag, too - the Krispies box I have...

    Fruity Rice Krispy Squares...(and then some!)

    Vitolo, Those Rice Kristy Squares look marvelous. I am totally ignorant about edibles, just starting to learn. Do you have a recipe you can point me to for these? And I presume I'll be able to find instructions for making cannabutter here on FC? (I don't trust Google for something like...

    Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

    fwiw and in fairness, in the earlier email exchange I had with co-owner Jonathan on Saturday, he did say: and that he was very busy responding to "hundreds of inquiries every day" and with "shipping related matters in order to service my valued clients." That left me with the impression that...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    This is yet another one of those things that is very much in the eyes of the user. Once you've taken a hit from the bag, the pressure equalizes and any vapor escape is quite slow and minimal. For personal reasons I won't bore you with, I sometimes blow a ~6 hit bag and attach it to my...

    Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

    I understand. One reason I wrote "such as" those at FC was because there are undoubtedly other informed sources available, too. And, no, I don't at all necessarily expect companies to send out free units for review, although doing so with reputable sources is a proven marketing technique...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Just to add a bit to Seek's reply, the whip is primarily used in a fully passive mode where you draw vapor up from the bowl with your lungs (like using a straw), but it can also be used in what Arizer's calls "fan assist" mode where a fan pushes the vapor thru the whip. (The fan has 3 speeds.)...

    Vaporizing is drying my lungs out.

    @chib, with the huge caveat that I'm only speaking from my experience, so this is just fwiw. Btw, I have an EQ. I have had a similar problem to yours, and I discovered there were two fundamental issues. One had to do with just finding the right usage technique for me, the other is a medical...

    Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

    Thanks for the comments. Points all well taken. IMO this whole episode is ironic. There were a couple of reviews, and these were the catalyst for the subsequent discussion re the perceived continuous vapor flow and consequent reviewers' concern about possible vapor loss. That concern could...

    Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

    I feel I should share with the community that I received a direct reply via personal email from Jonathan at Vaporfection in regard to my posts above following my initial inquiry to Vaporfection. He is a co-owner of the firm. I don't think it appropriate to go into all the details of our rather...

    Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

    Well, I'm embarrassed. I must be getting really old after all. :D Max is of course correct, it's about cooling. Having a Q and having looked at other forced-air systems, it never occurred to me that there would be a secondary purpose for the fan. But then when I looked at the Evolution...

    Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

    I think you guys are right - I had forgotten that the bowl is at the end of the whip and consequently air flow over the herb stops when the whip is removed, hence no vapor loss. So, yes, a setup similar to the SSV, etc. Except that the ViVape has a continuously running fan, and if one review...

    Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

    OK folks, I received a reply from Jonathan Postma at Vaporfection this morning. First for context, here was my query: Vaporfection reply: Analysis parsing the reply: 1. The reply confirms the reviews we have had posted, i.e., that there is continuous air flow. The statement "If you do...

    Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

    Note however max's comment above re my speculation that inserting/removing the wand engaged/disengaged the element and/or the fan. It definitely would not make sense to disengage the element, as that would drop the temp for the next hit (altho IIRC the site somewhere says something about...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    1. when ur heating up do u put the cylone on with herb in it and the whip on when heating? I definitely heat the herb along with the bowl. The value of this varies depending on how dry your herb already is. If the herb is moist, it will not initially vaporize as densely/quickly. I put the...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    The key is the how much it flares, and the SSV's from the pic anyway seems to be pretty tapered . However, the stiffness of the Q's polyvinyl may negate that advantage. My straight-line adapter fits silicon tubing fine because of its elasticity, it is loose in the Q's polyvinyl (yet another...

    Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

    Not the Novus, but I've used the Q with an aquavape, and it's fan will not push the vapor thru the water chamber. And it has a fairly powerful Delta, but the overall size of the machine will limit the size and hence power of the fan. Another factor is that a relatively narrow airflow path...
