    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Then you've probably already read about the various techniques to do this (including Arizer's view that it doesn't change anything). Just fwiw, what I found the easiest is to simply use 2 concave screens, 1 pointing down and the other atop it pointing up. The second screen also adds protection...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    @hereatlast & @geddylee - Thanks very much for the quick replies and additional info. I think I'm going to give that VT whip a try, with the L shaped gourd. I love the Q, but am not thrilled with elbow-packing. The VT seems more flexible and easier, other than the extra care needed with the...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Thanks for the information! I'm very interested in the whip (I already have the AV). Is this the VaporTower whip sold by Vaporstore? On their site they have 2 others that are nearly identical. There appears also to be 2 different joint (if that is what is meant by "gourd") options, a...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Based on the "vaporization effects by temperature" article, where the temps are admittedly not exactly precise, the widest gap is a substantial 30c, between 190c and 220c. That article and the posts I've seen here lead me to think that this is the dividing line between the head high vs stoner...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    As I just posted above, after having read through a lot of threads here plus my own experience, I think the vaporization temp chart is credible as long as one remembers that some gradations are fine grain (like the jump from just 180c to 190c) and that there are other variables, too (especially...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Your findings appear to be fairly consistent with the "vaporizing effects by temperature" posted here (and also on vaporpedia), which I imagine you've seen. IMO there are enough posts making similar observations to lend credibility to that data (although for sure there are other variables at...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Having been shackled, er, married, myself for decades, no need to tell me who rules the roost - that was a given from your first post :lol: (Don't get me wrong, she's the best thing that ever happened to me.) Seriously though, and maybe because we share a couple of the same challenges, let me...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Sounds about right. Of course this depends on frequency of use, composition of material, etc. For me, the screens (I use 2) at the bottom of the cyclone don't need cleaning that often. I see very little resin buildup and no clogging even after repeated use. Not so with the elbow. Even if...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    I'm gonna do that. But first a question to you and @warren79 (and anyone else) . . . Going back over your posts, I noticed you remarked that elbow-packing didn't seem to work as well with the bag. @warren79, your last post conversely suggests the opposite. So I went back to Steve's...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Myself, no. I fill the bag all the way. Using Fan 1, that means that when it gets to ~95% I need to up the fan to push the bag out (or maybe I'm just impatient), but regardless that shouldn't be much of a factor in density. And, I recall seeing any other posts indicating partial fills. I...

    Whip Tubing - All Your Questions Answered!

    Just saw this thread, very helpful - thanks! My E-Q ~1 month old shipped with Kuri Tech Klearon K010 by Kuriyama, 5/16" by 7/16". Let me just add that since I use multiple setups hence I'm removing tubing from glass regularly, this PVC tubing is just not flexible enough. Yes, it can be...

    Thx for the reply. Again, fascinating. Clearly I'm going to need to do more experimenting. :lol:

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Trying turning the temp up to ~230c, hitting off of leavings from the elbow that you put into the cyclone. At that level you'll vape several additional canniboids, taking you into couch-lock territory and nighty-night. Fascinating. I wonder if the results would change one way or the other...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Just my experience, everyone's is a little bit different . . . You can definitely get a bigger hit on the SSV or DBV, but AFAIK there is no fan assist and I have to wonder how they would work out for your wife as I would expect the pull to be harder. Also, it's possible that the popcorn taste...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    That's baffling. I agree with @Purpl3_Haz3 above, that Fan 1 delivers thicker vapor because less air is being forced into the stream. I get more visible vapor in the bag on Fan 1 than on 2 or certainly 3. Certainly when the vapor is exiting the Q, as with the whip, you can clearly see the...

    Vaporfection - the AquaVape Inline Vapor Cooler

    I've had the AV for a couple weeks, been using it with my E-Q and the whip. I found that the stock Q tubing is just too stiff to be repeatedly attaching/removing from the AV's glass nipple; I knew I was going to break it eventually. And I'm not willing to go thru the hassle of softening the...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    There has been a lot of discussion, debate, and complaints (with some moderator intervention) on this thread re buying the Q off eBay. Just search on "extreme-Q AND ebay" and you'll find the posts. fwiw, you can buy it for $190+ from a number of different resellers through Amazon - you can...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Forgetting to turn off the fan while using the "forced air whip system" can't be that uncommon. I've made this mistake, too. My guess is that you got it all out, just turning it upside down and blowing into the unit was enough to clear mine. I used a can of compressed air too, nothing more...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    Not sure, was that meant as a question? Assuming so . . . reading thru this long thread I've seen a lot of comments indicating that, yes, the user gets more mileage out of the same amt of material. Of course, I can only speak from my own personal experience which is only a couple of weeks so...

    The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

    fyi, just this week I ran some bag tests. On Fan 3 the bag filled, in almost exactly 2 minutes. On Fan 2 ~3.5 minutes. Fan 1 IIRC was 5-6 minutes. These were all with the cyclone half filled and a tiny smidgen in the elbow. Arizer has a solid customer satisfaction reputation, so...
