i just ordered both of these for $47! then i noticed its going to cost another $60 for the easy valve! http://www.gotvape.com/vaporizer/volcano-vaporizer/volcano-vaporizer-easy-valve-replacement-set.html they dont sell singles? lol!
Put an ad in the classifieds you will need 50 posts on FC to do that though or ask on the volcano thread maybe.I picked up 3 used easyvalves from members on FC !!
Please Note This is a modification to my Eq device.I dont condone or authorise the modification or its use Owners attemping this mod do so at their own risk.Thanks
The Equalcano Mod
This is my experience with the Equalcano bag mod for the Arizer EQ.Apologies its a little long I know!
I searched FC in 2011 and found little or no info on using a volcano bag with the EQ, so i decided I had to get an easy valve hooked up vertically for shivs and giggles.i hope you like
^Its a loose but a nice sealed fit^
I ve been looking into using an easy valve with the EQ in a round about way since I first got my EQ .I looked at the EQ bag system and laughed at the ridulous idea of a bag system.
I'd never seen a volcano or Eq before.I decided to buy the EQ because of the glass kit it came with and all the options you had with it and of course all your e friendly comments and input here on the EQ thread.Its an awesome vape and is even better when you get youre glass perfected.
Voila!
Above^^
14mm male gong and supplied oring which seals the bag to the EQ.I have yet to try an 18mm x 14mm male adapter instead of the illadelph adapter.Theres a good chance that will work just as good.
So i bought an EQ.After a while using the bag system, I went to whip mode but did nt like sitting down to the whip so much.
I decided the best use I could have for my Eq would be in a social setting.The Hi and launchbox satisfied my personal vaping use.In a social setting I prefered the idea of moving about,. the bags with the valve are versatile and can be passed easily or even thrown
Slowly but surely I got to thinking I like the bag system and the Equalcano was born.all along though I had been looking at the Volcano and the easyvalve bag system.so i Set out to adapt the EQ and perfect the little monster
I spoke to owners of the volcano and the EQ from FC and I came to the conclusion that the EQ is more suited to my needs.that opinion wasn't based on cost and outlay.It was based on my preference after input i received from fellow owners of the volcano and EQ here on FC.
I have to say it it is awesome.Its 95% finished.The final step will be replacing the heater cover with a longer one Thank you PlanetVape.The plan is to use the longer heater cover with a cloud elb basket.That will allow less changes between bags.I'm very impressed with it as it is.
The Eq Mod details how to mod your EQ.
Meds areplaced inside an elbow screen along with a homemade screen lid and inserted into the heater cover.
The heater cover has been raised a little to allow the basket to be placed directly on top of the heater in the EQ.
I made the screen lid from a stainless steel paperclip to prevent meds shooting up when the fan is on.The homemade screen works so much better than two elbow screens pushed together because it allows better airflow through the screen.Something for the cloud owners out there to try.
I picked up a female gong 18mm adapter to bring the bag a little closer to the element,although the standard cyclone will work fine.
As you can see above the glass looks pretty good on top of the Q and removes that open gap around the heater tube.The gap really isn t needed because all the air is sucked through the base of the EQ up through the internals and heated inside the heater cover.
Please note the female adapter wont work on a standard EQ because the top of the heater cover is recessed more
I ve left the unit running for 10 hours before now with no worries and I havent had any combustion during use.
you can see from the photos that I found the illadelph adapter actually works better if you turn it upside down, or in reverse of how its meant to be used , pop the bag connector straight into the 18mm female gong without an adapter and it seals good
the 14mm male pushes up into the bag when used with the oring and it seals it perfectly.Removing the bag from the adapter is childs play.It also opens the volcano bag right up allowing maximum flow into the bag.
I found using the illadelph adapter the official way, it is too tight on the easy valve connector. its just too hard to remove it when the youre ready.
using it the conventional way,you need to push it firmly in there to seal it otherwise it leaks and who wants to wrestle with red hot glass two minutes later.You really want the bag to pop off and self seal as soon as its ready.
Usage and temps and conserving
I heat up the EQ to 230C Fan 3 with all the glass in place for 10-15 mins.
For all the new EQ owners out there the key with the EQ is to preheat the glass hot and then some.Much less chance of the condensation on the inside of the glass.
after 10 minutes drop the temps to 170C (thats hot and will maximise things.I can start at 150C) load youre meds between the two screens,lift your e glass.Insert youre meds basket,reinstall glass,fit youre bag and turn Fan to setting 1. and Go!
I found through testing that setting 3 produced less and setting 1 produces more .It will fill a bag in 90 seconds. I get two bags from one elbow screen and by then its ready to dump.
I must mention that sometimes I remove meds between uses to prevent it cooking in the EQ thus conserving more which is something thats hard to do using the traditional cyclone bowl.I just pop the glass back on with out the basket in there.
its turned my EQ into a great bag vape which is what i designed it for.I wanted an EQ bag unit with bells and whistles and its what i got.
hope you like
