See the ICQ2 sounds like it would be good for me... I just assumed wrong it was a newer model.
No IQC
is the newer model, its just made to be lower end compared to IQ2, so not as fully featured, despite being newer...
As long as it doesn't take too long per session and it can give a kick if needed I'd be happy with that. Although I'm assuming there isn't any water options for it?
Oh, well its not exactly quick sessions, again depends how much you load and the temp you are using, but it is slower than the mighty (it heats up quicker, but it extracts slower I think, if you're comparing the same temperature settings, DaVinci can actually go higher though) also it has water connection out of the box, DaVinci includes a flat mouthpiece and a straw mouthpiece that is 10mm so you will need adapters to connect to 14mm however...
I've been looking for the dedicated thread but with no luck
IQC thread &
IQ2 thread these are all in the portable section, easy to find just skimming through! They're not super active, but they were not that far back, just page three...
That's true I didn't see any accessories mentioned just that out of the box it didn't compare to the mighty.
That's silly, and general, sure it compares to the mighty, I much prefer it, heats up much quicker and has the ability to be on demand with more pure convection than the mighty, also it can hold less more efficient with removable 18650 batteries... Oh yeah it also has the ability to go to a higher temperature, so it can extract darker than the mighty in my experience... Also I think it tastes better than the mighty, the vapor path with the ceramic, small but it does a great job cooling with the stock setup... People are just obsessed with the mighty, if someone loves it, there's a good likelihood they won't like a lot of other really good vapes that I think are much much better than it lol
I threw the silicone piece in just in case as it was £3 and I like to get a few spares of things but if it's not needed that's great.
Yeah I just don't think it makes sense, I would much rather be using the glass WPA, the silicone one is not as good of connection and it's all silicone, you're still using the ceramic cooling pad in the mouthpiece which is unnecessary if you're using a water piece...? I would instead get two of the glass WPA to have a spare maybe lol
Are we talking about the 510 mod now. Even though it sounds great I think I'd like to rule out stem based vapes that will knock a few down and butane. Only 18650 lol
Haha no that was just about the tetra, and stem-based vapes, yeah sounds like you don't like stem-based vapes even though I love them lol no butane for me either really
Is that the Nebula Fuzion?
Have to look again, but think it's just a rebrand with replaceable batteries? They could have changed other things, but I don't think it is going to be much different from a healthy rips vape...
Ah that makes sense then thank you so thats an option again. But with a learning curve.
Yeah HerbieV2 is a good option with your e-cig stuff, and because it has a chamber to load instead of stems, yes there could be a learning curve as with any on-demand vape there typically is, however I think this one could be easier once you get it set up with temp control, which sounds like it should be pretty easy too! Oh and it can fit S&B capsules btw
can see taroma and qaroma doing well.
Yeah I am watching them too, mainly Ceroma for myself, but I really love Cloud Connoisseur!
Sorry im getting confused which vape is this the ICQ2? Or the XMAX? I'd like to know the bowl size on the ICQ2. I haven't heard of the spacers.
Haha yeah we're talking about too much, that blurb was about the IQ C & 2, as I said above, comparing it to the mighty for you a bit... The bowl size is a ceramic tube, it holds upwards of 0.3g max I think? I prefer to use less in a session, so the spacers allow that (you load less and then put the spacer in on top of it to keep it packed tight for pure conduction)
ICQ2 is sounding more promising... I've seen it has a chamber you can pull out to soak which is good for cleaning and also has dosing capsules?
Yeah I know you like the style of IQ stuff, yeah especially when hot it's easy to empty the bowl, no brushing or scraping really even needed if you do it right after you finish, but it's also easy to run a brush through and iso qtip swab when really dirty... So
that chamber is actually the vapor path (they used to call it a flavor chamber so you could add stuff in there but no one does), that is removable to take out for cleaning, not really necessary but maybe with heavy heavy use, because you could also clean with a q-tip, the chamber itself, the ceramic herb chamber that is also the oven because it is session conduction, that is not removable at all... Yeah they have these ceramic dosing capsules which do not look like they would work well I have not tried it yet but a couple people in the thread liked them, otherwise they have these newer steel capsules, but I have not tried those either, I'm not really interested, I don't like capsules lol
mainly use dosing caps in the mighty to be honest but mainly for ease of use so I know I've one ready to go so I probably would try them and see.
Yeah they are different, shape of the mighty and its oven, I hate those capsules with their aluminum and the way they fit together, the tediousness of loading and unloading them in advance and afterwards, I just hate it lol
What's the biggest difference in cooking then with the mighty? Would I need to stir the ICQ2 or does it just cook the herb differently?
You should not need to stir with either of these, since they both incorporate session conduction, that means an automatic even extraction (mighty thanks to the chamber walls as you inhale convection through it too) so you just load IQ and pack tight, only open to empty, bc of the pure conduction. I dont stir xmax v3pro either, even though its pure convection, it has good temp control and small enough bowl for even extraction...
My guts telling me to get the xmax but I'm scared of being disappointed wishing I'd gotten the ICQ2... I've had someone flat out tell me there Xmax just sits on the shelf and they use the mighty more but I know everyone is different
Yeah it doesnt matter that someone else sits it on shelf and uses mighty more, you dont know them or their needs, if there is a reason mighty is not doing for you what you need it to, xmax v3pro is going to be a counterpart, quicker heat up, pure convection on demand capable or session style, wider temperature range, smaller size, replaceable 18650, easy water connection and other options...
IQC/2 gives you a larger chamber size, but totally different pure conduction session style, more like a Pax or Flowermate, its basic vaping tech, however they add a lot of bells and whistle to make it the nicest way to enjoy the basic imo... Xmax is more useful and impressive to me, despite its budget status, but IQ2 is quite nice superficially!
Neither of them are my go-to, but my DaVinci sits in the drawer more?
Thank you I will do, just been searching the site and reading that way hopefully I'll pick up some more
Haha yeah just one person or a few, who really love mighty and were really not happy with v3pro for whatever reason, if they dont have a lot of other experience, its likely they did not spend enough time to get to know it and the technique, whenever you get a new vape, especially one that uses completely different design than what youre used to, its important to spend time only using it, so you get to know it properly, get the most out of it for you and your needs...
The search is great, but it can be limiting, its better to go look at a thread, start from the most recent page and skim backwards to get a general sense of the products and owners.
don't have the fury edge dosing caps unfortunately mine are the rogue
Yeah rogue caps won't fit, but edge caps are easy to get!
Hmm okay I'm going to have to give the taffee bowle a proper look now.
Yeah it may work for you better than you think, despite the lack of water connection, but hopefully they come out with that soon too... It has more of the sleek industrial smart design and simplicity that reminds me of IQ and it has more power than xmax though only for temp settings... Chamber can hold more, but still not as big as IQ (so this is one thing, if you were using session conduction like the IQ with a full bowl, its going to be strong effects because you're using so much, so I think efficiency is going to be greater with the pure convection on demand units like xmax herbie tafee, generally!)
