WOW!
This thing looks amazing...
I am truly impressed with the looks of this thing.
im really thinking about ordering
if anyone else has one please speak up
thanks
g
im excited!
as far as preheating goes grumpyJanitor....
i let it preheat at 310C for ten minutes
then put the loaded bowl on (about half full up to the black line) maybe more some days...
but most importantly make sure that air can easily pass over the bowl.
to test.... inhale a big breath THEN put...
hey....
nice to see some new heads in here.... welcome all!
so i say 310C - 315C is optimal temp for the 1st gen units.
i can reach combustion at 320C.. anyone else have this issue?
i even reached combustion at 310C with some low quality stuff recently....
happy vaping
one more thing...
right after my last post...
i turned on the extreme and it had changed the preset temperature to 54C which is odd because when you add 5 degrees it makes 59C, 64C, and so on....
this is only remedied by using the remote and pressing a preset button like 310C....
ya think...

I have a few things worth noting....
I am pretty confident I have a first gen unit...
i primarily use it on 310C for the first bag and 315C for the second.. and then its done
well.. i got some real sticky shit ( and I'm not complaining!) and on the second...
defintely... 310 is the way to go.. and ive been following your method of preheating for 10 minutes and then preheating the bowl for 10 minutes....
i think Steve agreed that I don't have a new model unit because 310 would cause ignition in the new model....
he actually said 310C is a good...
man.. im going to try that screen trick.. thanks stickstones....
dude.. i had an ignition at 320 i dont think i want to ever go past 315 again... 350 seems crazy...
i got the ebay case and it works pretty well....
i mean if u have cash to burn that pelican one is nicer but for about a 3rd of...
i just ordered the one from ebay for 50 bones...
but that pelican case does look sweet....
lets hope we can get by with a $50 case instead of $100 though :)
i also got a response from Steve who confirmed that the beeping when turned off can be caused by electrical interference..... and also...
yeah i was just kinda upset cuz so many of them dont fit and the one that did fit ripped.. i just got a bad batch.... and yes the rimmed dome screens...
peace
yeah... i think ill see what the man thinks...
i have some more notes as of late
i find that the screens for the attachments that go on top of the bowl are very loose and fall in sometimes.. i read somewhere to bend them with your finger or something but i never could and i killed one with...
well that is very interesting... do you think i have a second gen unit if i get ignition at 320C?
but if i had a second gen unit then wouldnt i get ignition at like 290C or lower?
do i have some weird in between hybrid? lol
very interesting
g
ok... so couple of strange things if anyone is still following this thread....
my unit beeps randomly when plugged in but not turned on... anyone else?
also i have found that 310C is the best temp for me on the first generation exteme....
AND 315 is good for the second bag.....
HOWEVER...
hehe.... i guess it could be caused by interference from remotes... i was using the extreme next to my bed where i watch tv with a remote... ill let you know if it happens again... i really need to get a case for this thing....
clear dome... did that case come in yet?
i will order mine...
i just had a strange occurrence...
i left it on 310 for 40 mins.....
used a cyclone on the first and then switched to a tuff...
while i was waiting for number 2 to preheat the unit beeped once
and then lowered to 270...
i turned off the unit to let it cool down.....
weird... any ideas ?
this is some damn good conversation.. i say...
Steve sure is a pleasure to deal with....
so heres what i think...
310 is a good temp ...... the 2nd bag isnt very vapory and i dont think i need to try a third... thats crazy talk.. haha...
i think about half full is a good ammount ... not...
well... stickstones.. i think your method is right on... i got one thick bag.... then i tried another one and got nothing... although the material still wasn't entirely spent (some was still fresh) ... would i possibly want to turn up the second bag?
also it concerns me that i can smell it when...
yes i think 310C is the optimal speed for this baby as well... i will try your method stickstones and report back here... i think it would be crazy to go above 315C....
i absolutely love how this interfaces with glass you already have.. the bag becomes a slidel for your favorite glass water...
im not really sure what ur saying stickstones... could you please elaborate...
i can usually get about 3 bags at 310 all very thick....
or i can just use the whip at 310... either way the material will be completely spent....
any thoughts on a case ?
yes this forum is great...
its probably the got the most info regarding the extreme anywhere...
so here are some thoughts about this great product....
you can totally do a balloon through a water piece ... its awesome especially if you have an ice catcher in the piece.... this is a huge...
