Sounds good so far.

Forgive me as I'm sure you told me this before but what do you normally Vape as far as quantity of herb? That's the quantity that you want to start out with with this kit, even if it means having two caps instead of one.
I'll check that tomorrow I don't measure precise when I smoked.

2 hours in a feel more lightheaded I mean I can function but I can defiantly feel it.

Let me ask this as I'm going to sound like a complete noob.
When vaping with Eq or anything for that matter so I vape until I see no more clouds coming out during exhale?

I honestly think 0.075 up to 0.10 is going to be my dose for goooooood feelings but hey I can make 10 pills a gram that's crazy

Let's start with the basics:
* What temperature are you setting the EQ to?
I started at 170C and tried varying temps up to 230C. It seems the hotter I got the stronger the hit, but the more harsh it was. Still never hit like my water pipe does however.
* What handheld vaporizer do you have?
It's actually a vape pen that uses disposable cartridges. It's a cheap $10 pen I got from a local vape shop, it holds a charge for weeks and hits much better than the pen I got from the dispensary.
* What color is the ABV when you're done vaping with the EQ?
It ranged from a tan to a dark brown depending on the temp I used. Idiot me didn't know to save it for the first few months... D'oh!
The other vaporizer, what color is the ABV from that vaporizer compared to the EQ?
My mistake, it's the vape pen.
* Which kit did you get?
I think it's the V2 Complete Ddave Mod Kit for the EQ ( I LOVE the test tube clamp BTW), it was quite a while ago and I can't find the email. I bought it from ebay but I see you have your own site now.

As someone who is a bit older and new to all this, it can be a bit overwhelming trying to decide how to best use my herb. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into helping educate others.

@Gojo99 Thanks for these details! (Also, you split up my reply to individual quotes, as I do when the length of a post deems it necessary.... very efficient! I like it!)

I started at 170C and tried varying temps up to 230C.
Good temp range, absolutely.

Still never hit like my water pipe does however.
By Water pipe, I assume you are comparing Combustion to Vaporizing?

With Vaping you can come close to the same feelings of huge-volume hits, but will never match it exactly. Tons of other (unwanted) components make up a cloud of smoke that vapor cannot replicate. (That's a good thing!)

Ah, a concentrate pen is not going to give me the comparison I was seeking. I was hoping you could take some of the same batch of herbs and try vaping it in another model vaporizer and see how the quality of the session and ABV afterwards compares to your modded EQ.

Still a very valid test to see if your herb is capable of Vaporizing better in another unit. If chance presents itself, definitely worth pursuing trying out your herb in a different unit.

It ranged from a tan to a dark brown
This sounds good as well, which is why I was questioning your herb in statements above.

Here's a video of an extraction using my glass pieces. You can see the color change from light greenish to dark brown.

It's an honor to serve such a great community and vapers like yourself!

Yep, that's exactly what I was doing. After all the reading I did I was under the impression that vaping hit harder than combustion. It seems I'm not making any major mistakes I just had unreasonable expectations.

Tons of other (unwanted) components make up a cloud of smoke that vapor cannot replicate. (That's a good thing!)
Yeah, my lungs can't handle combustion for long so I much prefer the vape. I really thought the EQ was going to floor me compared to combustion so stopped using it thinking I was doing something wrong. Shoulda checked in here long ago...

I agree! Sadly I don't know anyone who vapes but I'll keep my ears open.

Perfect! That really helps confirm that I was doing everything okay. Warming up the EQ now :)

One more question, how long is it okay to leave the herb in the EQ? When I'm having a nasty migraine I like having the EQ ready to go for pretty much all day. I would like to load a heavy amount in the EQ and take hits as I need until I no longer see any vapor, then reload and repeat throughout the day. Does leaving the herb in the hot EQ lose potency over time?
If so I'll switch to just loading single hits like your video showed, however fewer steps are better on bad days.

Glad to help!

I think you'll get the best results if you leave the EQ and the adapter of choice heating all day long, but without herb loaded. The EQ doesn't mind staying powered on for days or weeks at a time, I know I've left mine on over a great many weekends without any issues since 2012.

Loaded as you need it using the herb loading funnel which should make things really easy. Unload with those hot adapter clamps. And have a good stash of ground herb sitting beside the EQ waiting for those headaches. (Which hopefully never come)

Enjoy friend!

A lot depends on your tolerance too. I more regularly microdose so I need less in a cap.

The other part is fat content of your diet. When you're planning on taking a cap, have a peanut butter (and Nutella yumm) sandwich. Just don't put it on toasted Rye. Not so yum!

I forgot if I asked you to weigh a dose of the same herb that you'd normally Vape?

Herb gardener...
and Nutella yumm

Hmmm... you know how carcinogenic that shit is.... its the palm oil and the way they process it... they openly admit it too.. Nutella is evil...

@Gojo99 a vape can hit harder than smoking in one way... I can give my smoker friends and indefinite coughing fit after using my vape, that leaves them breathless gasping for air..

Like @DDave says, vapour will never have that density of smoke due to all the other undesirable compounds, but it can be more dry and irritating due to the large amounts of cannabinoids being inhaled, compared to smoke...

And I love the feeling of struggling to breath after a huge hit....

@kellya86 .thanks! I had no idea.

Did find a Homebrew recipe that may work....

"You are better off running some hazelnut through your food processor and adding a little honey and pinch of salt. Toss in some cacao if you want the chocolate vibe. "

Thoughts?

Im gonna give that a go and see how it is... i will let you know... but yeah seems like that would work.. and its paleo too, so i can eat it...
I know the purpose of the palm oil is to enhance the taste and improve the consistancy..
I dont care for consistancy, and as i dont have any refined sugar in my diet, my taste buds love anything mixed with honey...

Still using your kits by the way @DDave... i love a tiny nug in all glass basket... thats probably my favourite of all your pieces... many thanks...

Really looking forward to hearing how your recipe turns out. Hopefully a solid healthy alternative to Nutella. I know I'm not alone in thanking you for your contributions to this community!

Also glad to hear that the mod pieces are serving you well. Use them in good health my friend!

I don't know explain the difference of micro dose vs max.

I can vape .06grams and get high but I've put 0.1grama in a pill and had to take 2. Maybe I'm doing something wrong when decarbing I can't find ur instructions. Been doing 1 hour at 205c waiting 30 then capping with coconut oil
I would think a pill with 0.1grams should ytget me high but like I said i have to take 2. That's 5 pills per gram. And I'm 280lbs trust me I eat fat lol

Thanks @kellya86

@Jtrain252

No problem my friend. Let's get this dialed in for you! We start out by isolating the variables and you know me by now, I love asking questions.
  • How do you get on with any other edibles? If you have used them, what dosage were they?
  • When you're doing the decarb, are you starting out with a cold EQ and adapter, loading it, plugging the adapter, then powering on your EQ and setting the timer for 1 hour?
  • Is the EQ left undisturbed during the decarb process until the adapter is cool enough to touch?
  • (Sorry, I have to ask this) Are you using the fan at all during the process?

Let's start with those questions and see where they lead us. :rockon:

Only edibles I've had are my own cookies. I made a lb of butter using 1oz of trim. Each stick was used in a cookie recipe (betty Crocker bag) and made 27 cookies. 1 cookie at 22 grams per cookie (weight] made me pretty high.

The Eq is loaded cold with 0.60 grams lid on tight and then I'd turned on for 1 hour at 205C.
I wait about 20 min till it turns off then I make about 5 pills at 0.10 gram each. Saturated in coconut oil. 2 pills make me (shouldn't drive) high. 1 just gives me a slight calming buzz]

Hi everybody!!!

I've been reading this forum for long time, just got an Arizer V-Tower and I was seriously considering the DDave Mod V3 kit, but I'd like to ask some specific questions about the pieces included in the kit, mainly the differences of using 14mm vs. 18mm adapters and the basketless stems difference vs. the standar glass wands with the basket screens:

-If I want the "hardest" session (get really high) with the V-Tower I should use the The Original DDave Adapter - 18mm to 18mm F/F with the 18mm Basketless Stems, right? Is there any difference using the 18mm glass wand with the basket screen instead of the basketless stems???? Elbow pack???? Can you get higher with elbow packs than with the basketless steams?

- The DDave Mini Adapter - 14mm to 18mm F/F adapter with the 18mm Basketless Stems would be used for microdosing (not for getting really stoned, but just feel a little high/have THC benefits and continue doing your stuff without the buzz/psychoactive effects) right? Or can I get as stoned with the 14mm as with the 18mm?? Again, is there any difference using the 14mm glass wand with the basket screen instead of the basketless stems????

- Which is the advantage of the "concentration chamber"? I'm guessing it is indicated for microdosing with full extraction in one hit.... which are the pros and cons of the concentration chamber Vs. other methods above described? Can you get really high with the concentration chamber?

My main question would be how you can get as high as possible using the V3 kit,and which lieces to use.

Thanks everybody for this awesome forum!

Hi everybody!!!
Greetings Friend, welcome to the thread and Arizer Gang!

-If I want the "hardest" session (get really high) with the V-Tower I should use the The Original DDave Adapter - 18mm to 18mm F/F with the 18mm Basketless Stems, right? Is there any difference using the 18mm glass wand with the basket screen instead of the basketless stems???? Elbow pack???? Can you get higher with elbow packs than with the basketless steams?
The hardest hitting combination for standard to heavier dose vapers would be The Original DDave Adapter and the 18mm Wand with Basket screen from V2. With V2, you can grind your herb finer than with the V3 pieces and thereby extract more goodies more quickly. The basketless stems are great for flavor skimming - just ensure to grind your herb medium to avoid grinding smaller than the filter holes in the glass. Elbow packing is always an option with the basket screens, but you will find it all but unnecessary using the 18mm Wand and DDave Adapter, as the act of drawing will lift the herbs from the screen up towards the basket... (call it Auto-Packing, if you will).... ;)

- The DDave Mini Adapter - 14mm to 18mm F/F adapter with the 18mm Basketless Stems would be used for microdosing (not for getting really stoned, but just feel a little high/have THC benefits and continue doing your stuff without the buzz/psychoactive effects) right? Or can I get as stoned with the 14mm as with the 18mm?? Again, is there any difference using the 14mm glass wand with the basket screen instead of the basketless stems????
The 14mm setup allows for micro-dosing vapers to enjoy the same powerful extractions and cloud production as their 18mm counterparts, but with less herb. Don't take this as you'll get way more medicated using far less herb in the 14mm pieces, that's not how it works. It only allows for great extractions from a fraction of the amount of herb that the 18mm setup uses. (The best way to understand this is to try to vape .005g out of the 18mm setup. It would be pretty disappointing. Much better extraction from the 14mm pieces would occur.)

- Which is the advantage of the "concentration chamber"? I'm guessing it is indicated for microdosing with full extraction in one hit.... which are the pros and cons of the concentration chamber Vs. other methods above described? Can you get really high with the concentration chamber?
Concentration Chamber is the place where you'd mix herbs and concentrates for really long flavorful sessions. It is true, the dosing chamber is smaller, but this is more to accommodate the medicine size needed when concentrates are involved.

My main question would be how you can get as high as possible using the V3 kit,and which lieces to use.
Your best bet, if you are looking for the best extraction with the fewest hits from your vaporizer would be the 18mm V2 kit.

If you've got more questions, feel free to send them on over.

Sup everyone, reporting back! I found a solution in case anyone is in my boat and cant fit the newer elbow baloon pieces into the 14mm DDave Mod. Very simple, works well!(Ignore the DIY baloon bag fix :p)

Also, I encoutered a little nuince, Its not really a problem, but maybe someone found this aswell. My whips often tend to knick in a way that will limit air flow to almost none. I wonder why this never happened to me with stock whips, since they are practicly the same. Im taking about this:

As I said, its really not that bad. But If theres a way to avoid having to fix it with both hands or when passing it around in a group, I wouldnt mind that. Anyone encountered this?

And, as for @sonti use a thicker hose or use the type of hose that looks like an accordion. I'll come back in a minute a post a pic of the hose I use.

Greetings Friends,

First off, thanks for the kind words! :tup:

Next, the kinking issue. In my kits, I include a 6" very thick piece of silicone tubing affectionately called the "antiflex collar". This can be used to reinforce the flexible tubing in my kits to keep it from kinking. In extreme situations where the EQ is way above the person using it, the antiflex collar can be doubled.

VapeOn!
