+1 0n the V Tower upgrade ... I'm thinking its basically the same unit as the Arizer ExQ, without the balloon gear.
I added the Original DDave Adapter and Arizer's new All-Glass Mini Whip and am quite happy with its performance.
The DDave Adapter keeps the screen in place completely ... it...
The AA's stock glass stem has finally ( or at least since Aug. when I got my AA ) made an appearance on eBay, for a few bucks less than Arizer sells it for & no shipping fee.

Definitely my stem of choice...
Nice post Bravesst ... I've been wondering ( since my new digital scale arrived last week ) how much weight is lost from a proper "dry out" ... 1.01g / 1.08g = 93.5% remaining.
I had grinded up a couple of grams and was waiting for the next opportunity to weigh more bud before and after the...
One of my favorite things about the Original DDave 18mm short adapter is how the screen stays right in place ... the Arizer Cyclone Bowl's screen was always moving around (to one degree or another), even after I got it to "behave" relatively better.
The result from switching to the Dave adapter...
one lower temp setting (338F / 170C ?)
and
as great as the Air looks, it's too darn slippery ... a little bit of texture somehow ?
I use the sleeve 24/7, except for when I want to see the Air in all it's naked splendor (once every month or two :-)
By turning the sleeve upside down...
Are you drying out the herb, at least a little bit, before loading it in the bowl?
I find that nicely dried out material is essential for best extraction.
I use a domed screen in my stems ... the one time I stirred, it didn't have much effect ... the Air seems to extract most, if not all, of everything available.
Nice stem and battery holders: I was so glad when I found out that the matchstick cases that I bought for the 18650 batteries also accommodated the stems as well ... so I ordered another (in green for stealth)
For the batteries to fit well, I've placed an earplug in the bottom ... it stays put...
Quite happy with the way the EQ is filling bags using some new gear from Dave and Arizer ...
DDave's Original Adapter is great ... I liked the stock cyclone bowl, but, DDave's bowl is better IMO - the screen stays perfectly in place and the ABV empties easily.
When used in combination with...
1. Consistency ... each hit off the bag is essentially the same - uniform ... if anything, the last two hits tend to be a little fuller and tastier.
2. Efficiency (maybe?) ... an amount that might yeild four really good hits with my Arizer Air, will give me upwards of a dozen nice (although a...
