I do this occasionally. It's a bit awkward holding the EQ as if it was a Solo, but it definitely works. It's not that much different from using a solo stem IMHO which I've never used with a whip - eventually the vapour stream gets unpleasantly hot but by then there's little or no vapour unless...

Not if you can see them... Your lungs and airways have very efficient mechanisms to capture and expel (expectorate!) anything bigger than 10 µm diameter. eg http://www.particleandfibretoxicology.com/content/10/1/12 Tiny bits of weed escaping the pack will do you no damage especially compared to...

These definitely seem to make many people happy but they're designed so side stream air flows past the seals in the channels, down to the intake end of the loaded stem, to cool heated air from the oven, lowering the extraction temperature. A fixed amount of side stream air goes down and the user...

A portable won't allow full bore lung filling tokes, the way desktops like the extreme q can. Meanwhile, to make the Air draw feel less restricted, while you inhale, add some external air as a side stream by controlling the lip-seal on the stem. I learned to do this to survive the harshness of...

http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0133292 This is pretty interesting - not so easy to follow the details unless you happen to work in some related field but pretty interesting discussion if you can wade through it. Here's a gem: This observation suggests that C...

Ah, yes. The cyclone. I like the visuals, but I seem to get diluted vapour streams - maybe because we tend to have mid grade material here - so I tend to stick to the wand screen - hence the whole barista thing with a bud puck and all. I like it. Good solid gear. Plenty of options. Definitely...

I believe so. Air acts like a fluid. Sucking/inhaling decreases pressure inside the tube. Air pressure outside the tube flows in to the other end to fix the imbalance dragging your bud with it.

Yes, and to some extent, vacuum loading is tamping too. The extent and effects will depend on specifics like moisture, grind and vacuum... Interesting. tl;dr If I stir during a session, I tend to empty the basket, crush any big bits and then vacuum# it up again. Really finely powdered material...

Perhaps we can all become EQ baristas ? On tamping coffee: if the grind is right, a very light tamp to even out any bumps in the surface is all that's needed - a nice solid puck of grounds forms after it's been hit hard by hot water at 8.5 bar. Trick is not to compress it to the point where the...

The 14mm basket is probably a tiny bit on the small side for the kind of herb I usually get - but the 14mm modified (short) cyclone actually does work reasonably well with small loads although I usually end up packing the 18mm basket. Herb properties probably have a lot to do with how well...

I'm a happy new mod kit owner and can confirm that the modified glassware makes my extreme q much more flexible and useful for me. I've posted in that forum, so forgive me if you've already heard, but the new 18mm equivalent of the old elbow pack (my personal current fave) allows a small load...

I am a new (weeks) extreme q owner and took delivery of an ebay kit in Sydney this afternoon. (For the record: arrived seriously well packed and in perfect condition from a professional operation run by a capable and generous community member - thanks DDave!) Initial impressions FWIW are that...

I bought some from http://ausvapes.com.au/arizer-solo-aroma-bent-tube-mouthpiece.html?gclid=CIv1wNHxnMYCFQxwvAodTi0A0A - best to buy a couple to amortize the cost of postage. (And, no. I'm not associated with them - just a satisfied customer from a single purchase...)

Amen to that. I may be imagining but my 2 yo m1a seems to generate more intense vapour when using the PA - thing hits like a desktop when I plug it in. I've convinced myself that the recently renewed battery does the job but I guess mains power can provide more current for much longer than any...

Many folks report satisfaction at using the solo upside down to avoid that nasty smoke. (This has been referred to as hamster style - after those caged pet drink dispensers) Of course, it's dangerous if your stem isn't tightly held - don't let it drop and break - but your herb is unlikely to...

I'd recommend doing that cutting BEFORE you turn on the vaporiser for your first hit of the day. I always end up with teeny-tiny but almost perfect little circles after obsessively trying to trim my first ugly cut into a perfect circle when I'm vaked. :)

Yep. The fact that the two exposures are often combined leads to a technical epidemiological problem called confounding and makes it almost impossible to design a reliable population study to determine whether combusting cannabis alone increases the risk of lung or any other kind of cancer...

Exactly where are you trying to put it and what size is it? Many old posts here describe various strategies for shaping and fitting 1/2" or 5/8" (if you prefer a higher dome) stainless steel screens available cheaply from amazonk or egay. Try a text search in this thread for "screen" and you'll...

I own 3 partly because I really like the Solo taste. However incoming air passes right by the rubber cap and on the two older (19-25 months) those smell of tar a little when they get hot. I'm sure it's a human grade heat stable material but it's in direct contact with the cap hole and that gets...

I think that sounds normal with a full battery. I'd wager you have a busted heating coil except you say the device leds reach the 'set temp' ? That's very, very wierd because that's the thermistor telling the circuit board it's hot. Does the stem/herb get hot ? If not you're probably wanting a...
