Hi guy's first post here and doing the usual newbie thing..."HELP"...lol.
I received my Extreme Q a few days ago, and have been trying to get this vaping sussed for the past day or so...and tbh I'm not convinced...(usual newbie comment).
A little history so you can see where I'm at :-
I had owned a vapureyes vaporiser for a few years prior to getting the Q but had never really used it, bar the initial try out after purchase and once or twice...here and there.
I just felt the feeling of satisfaction wasn't there...and at that time I was smoking analogue cigs too, so was looking for that th etc.
So I stopped smoking analogue cigs a few weeks back and I am now vaping e-liquid, so I was looking for a cleaner way to consume my favourite remedies also...so out comes the Vapureyes again...I toyed with it again and did get some decent vape but the satisfaction feeling still really wasn't there for me.
I thought, maybe I need a more powerful machine ??
So I ordered an Extreme Q after reading some decent reviews of the machine.
The box arrives and I initiate the procedure described below after doing an initial 260c burn for 20mins or so to clear any residue etc -
I let it warm up above the temp I'm wanting to vape at for 10min's or so,
I grind up my herb,
I place the Cyclone Bowl on the core and allow to warm for another 5mins or so...then I either pack the elbow bowl tightly or I fairly loosely, pack the Cyclone Bowl...and then place either bowls in position and allow to warm for another 5min's or so...then I vape.
Now, I'm getting vape but it's fairly inconsistent...sometimes a decent cloud of vapour...sometimes fairly poor.
I'm starting at 190 and working up in 10's to 230 etc...but still I'm thinking...going by what I've read...there has to be more than this...I'm not expecting clouds like smoking analogues but I hope vaping get's better than this...where am I going wrong, I'm thinking.
I have to make this work...the Mrs will kill me if I shelf this thing and don't use it...lol...the cost of this, plus what I have spent on e-cigs in the past couple of weeks is un-real...so no option of shelfing.
Also, I can only afford to smoke 1 deal a week, and I keep that for my quiet time at the weekends after my kid is in bed...so I need to make what I have last and enjoy every scrap of it...lol...so it get's a little annoying not getting the satisfaction feeling you are looking for when you are on a limit.
So if anyone could direct me to anything worth reading or watching in my quest to properly use the Q it would be much appreciated.
