I broke mine while cleaning it. The glass is relatively heavy, but the joints at the nipples and to the interior chamber appear thinner and may be a bit vulnerable to shock. It slipped from my grip maybe a couple of inches onto a hard surface and it shattered. I liked it OK, but the chamber...

Thanks for the great replies . . . @Bogdan - Your responses provided excellent clarification. I understand your explanation re the emitter (I have some familiarity with this type of technology); that's fine. If there was an issue, I expected it to be with the pump. It's of note that while HA...

That's a very good point. Essentially then the user would begin the session bonging via the whip pulling directly from the machine's vapor flow at the glass T-fitting, turn the machine off, and then finish drawing from the bag the vapor which had accumulated in between hits, right? I agree...

Here is a YouTube video, connecting the bag's GonG fitting to a bong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_ipghXsGQc

Thanks for that explanation, which is consistent with @FLskwat's review. That the herb is heated by the infrared as opposed to hot air flow (assuming I understood correctly) deserves to be emphasized given the greater efficiency and smoothness that results. The Oracle's speed is a great...

I wonder if I could pose some follow-up questions to Oracle . . . I assume this refers to connecting the bag to the bong via the GonG adapter. One reviewer stated that "My Volcano produces very harsh vapor. By comparison the Oracle produces incredibly smooth vapor. I don't know if it's...

Since you've decided on the Q, and since I don't remember if I mentioned this previously, I'll just pass this along . . . there appears to be one frustration that many new owners have, and that's with the Q's tubing. The stock kit has everything you need to get going. But if you want to...

So I got thru the 100 pages on this thread only to discover a bunch of other threads with yet more valuable info re the herb, preparation, storage, glass, tinctures, etc. etc. As they say, it's a journey! :D

I'll give a shot at a few . . . No. Any unit with a fan or pump must have an intake, so ambient air enters the system. On the Q the air moves through the ceramic heating element, pretty darn hot. I've not seen any foreign matter in my water chambers (I use GonG to a bubbler or bong.) I...

Try using the Search function, maybe "Q AND bag AND value" in "message text & topic subject" with the results returned by post. This will probably get you to what you're looking for. A summary of what you'll find: (a) some find it doesn't matter after the first hit due to pressure...

Perhaps because mine came through Amazon, the Q's box was packed inside a larger box for protection. The Q box itself was plain brown cardboard, 6.5" x 6.5" x 7". I wouldn't be concerned about that. However, given that low price point, two things you might want to check: 1st, are all the...

When I said you had a good point, I was essentially referring to "tolerance". Regardless of the kind of high that is desired, it's very easy to ratchet up the consumption to maintain that level when sometimes it can be better - in more ways than one - to be more moderate.

I think djonkoman has a good point. It has been a big challenge for me coming from combusting because I have always preferred the stoney high that comes on fast. The by comparison mellower and slower come-on from vaping just doesn't have the same punch. I expect that this desire is one of...

Amen, brother. :) Pappy, I had an after thought. Again, no idea if this is of any value, but just fwiw you might give this a try, if you haven't already . . . Put a GonG adapter at the end of the whip, attach it to the down stem of whichever glass piece has the least resistance, add just...

Yes, a lot of fans. Search for topics with "bong" in the title, and you'll see quite a few threads. I think the "customized vape setups" probably has the most discussion re using bongs (and bubblers), although you'll also find that in each vaporizer's individual thread (like this one). There...

This is one of those questions that is very difficult to respond to, given the potential number of variables and not seeing the situation first-hand. Offhand I can only think of a few things: 1st, there can be variability in the plant material. If you have an airtight stash container, you...

My comments would echo @flotntoke's. I haven't used an HA, so I can't make a hands-on comparison. But I am obsessively analytical about a decision like this, so I read - no, studied - everything I could find about both. The Q's versatility was a major factor for me precisely because of my...

IIRC there is discussion in the Q thread about using Volcano bags, and also in several other threads. Try searching on "volcano AND Q AND bag" and see what you get. There is also a youtube video, I think explained in the Q thread (but not sure), that describes how to modify a very inexpensive...

Thank you, too. :) (I re-composed my reply to eliminate extraneous detail, and for more clarity.) You did indeed perceive my primary message. What I learned was to focus on finding and addressing the underlying cause, rather than attempting to mitigate it. And to use a good process of...

OK. Although I dunno about the insights and appreciation :) . . . Initially my Q vaping was great. Being new to this, I just used the standard bag and then whip methods. Although the hits were cleaner and smoother than combusting, I actually experienced a bit more irritation apparently...
