You're post is more than OK.
The thumbnails on that listing enlarge pretty well. The horizontal pic is easier to see into. The vertical pic, I'm just not sure of because of light refraction and the angle of the shot. It looks to me very similar to the piece sold by ALT (but obviously w/o its larger handle) which I have, and it has a center indentation shaped like a sideways "u" (rather than a sharp "v") which should still support a screen shaped to create tension. I wish I still had the piece I bought off eBay for comparison, but it's gone.
If you can come up with a foolproof way of identifying that ledge, you'll be a hero here in Q-land. (Hell, you're already a hero, you'll just be even more of one.)
Looking again at the easily available ALT piece, I think I could make it work by grinding down the handle ~1/8". For those with the tools and know-how, that might be an option, too.
At this point I leave the question in your capable hands. I'm afraid that what time I have to devote to such things is now all consumed by my work with another vape.
Vape on, DDave!

I am wondering if this may work Dave it appears to look like it has a ledge in the middle to fit a screen - http://www.ebay.com/itm/18mm-Female...704?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a30f37ba8
Also wondering the difference between the Dave adapter and the tuff bowl ?

No, you cannot use the ALT version (w/o modifying it) because the center handle is too large to pass through the Q's opening, preventing the adapter from seating properly on the heater.
The Tuff Bowl is simply the Cyclone with an additional protective covering (don't recall offhand, might be teflon).

thanks oldie! i think as of now..i will just try to modify one cyclone bowl..and see how that works. i understand the q works great stock..but after reading this thread,,it just makes me want to get more if possible. ive seen ppl say that changing the elbow and hose makes a big difference alone!

I ordered it ill post up results after it arrives .
gadabout, sorry I missed your PM today. Happy to help out! Couldn't get back to a computer till just now.
I've written a few sellers asking about a ledge in their adapters... Hopefully I'll receive at least one positive response, then I'll post a link.
oldiebutgoodie, thanks much! I've thought about it, and I think the best way to ensure receipt of the DDave F/F is to find a resource that stocks them regularly. It's frustrating, as I've spoken to sellers who stated they "borrowed" an adapter pic from another, and it wasn't a true depiction of their adapter. Just don't trust the pictures.You're post is more than OK.

Hi Justpassedu, I looked at the adapter, the vertical picture is very blurry and I couldn't make out details. I contacted the seller, titaniumedgeshop, inquiring. Hopefully this is the right adapter, as this seller has many available.
Stay Tuned.... more to follow..... Vape On!
No good news to report yet...
The seller titaniumedgeshop replied back that while he has many different types of f/f adapters, none of them will accommodate a screen. They were all straight through, no ledges...
I have comms out to 4 other sellers.... and fingers remain crossed!

DDave i ordered the 1 from titaniumedgeshop on ebay , the picture does show it being able to fit a screen in the middle and i figured for $9 shipped id try and i did write a message to them saying to send what is pictured so if it arrives different i can always send back unused. Question about the elbow pack method - Doesnt packing this way make the herb fall out when its seated on the q since its just hanging in the air upside down , im sure it can be packed tight but wouldnt that make it harder to heat up being packed to tight , i have yet to recieve my q , just getting ready for it. thanks
Hey Justpassedu, it would be great if you received the working adapter!!! Please keep us informed!
Regarding the elbow pack, sometimes it can fall out into the adapter... or bits of it, which is why I always preferred to use a screen in the adapter.
Now if you choose either the DDave F/F+SSV Wand or Seek Cloud ELB mods, well then your herbs are surrounded by screens and fallout is no longer an issue.
Hope this helps! (And that you get the right adapter from this vendor!).

Thanks DDave i will def let you know the results , also thinking of picking this up as i could use some silicone tubing and its cheap enough to buy bc it also comes with glass http://www.ebay.com/itm/40063755933...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1427.l2649#ht_5124wt_1345

Anybody try or know anything about how the rechargeable portable power pack for q ? I'd like to build a a less expensive one for myself if I knew what kind of battery they were using. Would be nice in the event of a power outage or camping trip, I see there. $99 at arizer - http://arizer.com/store/en/arizer-parts/24-rechargeable-portable-power-pack-.html ,, seems it operates at a 12-20 volt output .

shoot now that i think of it , i ordered these bc they were so cheap at $8.95 shipped , price went up a little since yesterday, i figured its cheaper than just buying silicone tubing bc it comes with it , i know the glass should work , but now that i think about it the actual tubing looks to small and most likely will not hit well , anybody have any experience - http://www.ebay.com/itm/40063755933...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1427.l2649#ht_5124wt_1345
I have a similar whip left over from a box vape. the tubing that came on mine is too small in OD to fit inside the SSV and hold. It did work fine on a Arizer Elbow though...

got to use the q. did an elbow pack and off i go! took a little getting used too..(been using a magic flight for over 2 yrs) i was thinking the elbow pack would have stretched a lil further than 3 good pulls. but am still experimenting. just got tracking for hose and elbow from ssv. so after playing more with it and then getting the whip and stuff..i am curious to see what difference it makes. over all..i am happy with the q. it was fun to set up..did the job well..and left me well medicated. any tips on elbow packing..such as how fine to grind..how tight to pack..and how many bags you can usually fill? never used bags before and am gonna try that later! but over all...i am happy with the way it has performed and would recommend the q to others and will!

IMO the elbow-pack does not work as well as the Cyclone with the bag. Getting good bag results means stirring because of the hot spot, and I don't like doing that repeatedly with the elbow.
About 3 very strong hits is not unusual with the elbow-pack; my lungs aren't that strong so I used to take about 5. IIRC it can hold ~.2-2.5g. A fluffy grind is good because you need air ciculation in the elbow. Definitely not very fine grind let alone powdery, or it will clog too easily. Don't pack tightly, just tap enough to hold the contents. It needs to be stirred at least once.
YMMV.
I walked into my LHS today and found that the owner had an entire shelf that was loaded with GonG adapters. I saw several 18/18 F/F adapters with the hollow ledge. $7 for any adapter.No good news to report yet...

Are these 'ledged' adapters really that rare? Maybe I should buy up the guy's entire stock?
