Arizer XQ2

[BuzzDanklin]

Looks like we got a new version of the Extreme-Q. Everything looks pretty similar except they added a cap to the bag to seal in vapor. I imagine heat up times will be much faster and will see about the fill times/fan speeds.

Shout out to Arizer for making affordable products, very reasonable IMHO.

I’m digging the new “connoisseur bowl” too

 

[Cheebsy]

I believe they are filtering the air intake on this model, I hope it's an isolated air path now too!

 

[letter never sent]

Kinda nice to see a Company just drop the new product when it’s ready for sale. No marketing hype or fanfare. Looks like a nice upgrade to a solid budget desktop option.

 

[RustyOldNail]

Bought the previous version a few months ago, as it was so cheap. Amazing how long it has been on the market. Look forward to reviews, and if there some new heater tech. Looks like some of the new accessories might work on the old model.

 

[Abysmal Vapor]

The bowl looks great, hopefully no silicon dabs and wires in the airpath ! Filtered intake is a must if you ask me.

Would not want to vape the same air as we breathe...yuk!

Yepp,environmental dust gunking on the heater can get pretty nasty in the long run.

 

[daoist]

I never understood why no vaporizer manufacterer made bowls with a glass screen (its probably harder to clean). I have been looking for something like this for years. I hope it fits on my EQ.

Most Arizer portables use a glass bowl.

 

[m0sh]

It's really cool that Arizer gives this style vape another go, I wonder if this is an upgrade for the EQ just like the Volcano Hybrid is for the classic...

If this can perform well in today's standards (well at least, in my standards, where I can't fit the EQ and the Volcano Classic), then I might consider this for a party vape.
The price seems fair.

 

[daoist]

Most Arizer portables use a glass bowl.

yes, with a metal screen....

 

[LesPlenty]

with a metal screen....

I have never used/seen a metal screen, are you talking about the s/s floor in the oven of the unit?

 

[jvapour]

I think he’s talking about how they include metal screens with the units. But they also say in the manual something like “don’t bother using them.”

 

[daoist]

I was just talking about glass screens instead of metal. And i thought the portables had a metal screen instead of glass screen.

 

[LesPlenty]

i thought the portables had a metal screen instead of glass screen.

I did try to cut and paste a pic of a glass stem/bowl...but you know how that is atm.

 

[3l3tric]

Very curious whether the heating element got any significant changes or if it's still just the good ol' ceramic rod.

Filtered intake does sound interesting, but unless the heater's gotten some kind of upgrade I'll probably just sit this one out. I've been more interested in injectors and logs recently anyway.

Gotta say though, the new design looks pretty damn sleek. I like that they made the base a uniform shape rather than making most of the base flat with that one protrusion where the screen and buttons are. I don't think I would've ever called the OG unit "ugly", moreso that the old unit looked like a 90s appliance while the xq2 looks like a modern appliance.

I have always wanted to try a balloon vape, just not heard the best reports on flavor...I also agree it sure does look better now.

Bag vapes are very unique as the first hit and the last hit pretty much taste the same.
I wouldn’t say the flavor is as rich as a one hitter off a super vape, but you don’t have that linear degradation that all other flower vapes get. For session style vaping It’s actually way underrated IMO. Although it’s a little difficult to consider a plastic bag as the pinnacle of health, and I totally understand that.

It looks like I'll be receiving mine this week:

Can’t argue with anyone trying something new, but I agree with invertedisdead. Never liked the bags, and sold my Volcano. While it seemed like a good idea for a leisure, slow session, I didn’t like the stale taste after awhile. Also a good solution for pass around party... but I won’t be sharing any devices and mouthpieces anymore, if I have a guest, I’ll give them a separate device. I bought the old EQ, just to try a hose system, and it was very inexpensive, haven’t bothered with the bags, since I already know it’s not my preference.

I've never liked bags either,but someone posted successful stories on making roasted p0tatoes or was it chicken in a used bag, cannot remember exactly,lol...

Vapor Bag Roasted Red Potatoes

Brilliant re-use of vapor bag that has become too sticky. Heard about it on these boards, so I had to try it out. I just got a 3d camera so I had to put it to use. Got a good head buzz going and they tasted amazing!

Roasted Chicken (bag cooking can roast ya!)

While roasted chicken isn't a traditional July 4th meal, figured now was a good time to post this recipe. I've made reference before in other threads, but haven't actually gotten around to getting this up here. We've used this recipe for years - and our friends love it! What you'll need: - a...

Well now I want one just for a roast!

 

[daoist]

the bags hit me pretty hard on my EQ (on fan speed 1). Also it has great vape flavour if you use the glass balloon whip (with glass filter) or the glass-filtered elbow with the sillicon whip has great flavour too. I am looking forward to the reviews of the XQ2.

 

[LesPlenty]

Also it has great vape flavour

I see you own a Mighty, do you think that tastes great too? (I sold my Mighty due to poor taste and other reasons)
