. . . Got the idea from the great users here, almost bought a one intended for the Cloud (I think) but it had a female joint and then I'd have to use a male/male adapter in the EQ.
I got it off Amazon, found it while searching for a J hook, but it's not available any more.
A j-hook/sherlock with female joint will work with a female/male adapter, placing a Cloud ELB inside the male end. The only potential gotcha, similar to the challenge with the @
DDave female/female mod, is that the ID of male adapters varies and some are too tight for fit an ELB (or Q elbow-screen).
Yay, I finally got my EQ. Thanks for your reply oldiebutgoodie. So now that I have it, I'm trying to learn more about it. There's so much info on here, it's hard to find the useful posts.
Maybe someone could help clear some stuff up?
What is elbow packing?
There's so many abbreviations that I don't know being used in this thread. Is there a post that explains them?
What improvements can I make to my EQ setup to make it more efficient, without spending a lot of cash?
(I saw some people breaking out the glass lip in the cyclone bowl for better airflow, which I think I'll try)
Any other simple things that I can do to make my vaping experience better?
Any tips/tricks from you pro users?
You're welcome. But now you're gonna hate me
. . . I periodically make this suggestion when I see new members posting here: Read through the thread, a few pages at a time. It may take a couple months, but virtually everyone who does so says it is worth it. If that is too much, then start at about page 250. That's about the time that @
DDave suggested his female/female adapter mod. Thereafter there were a number of variations on that theme, plus different mods for the whip/wand/mouthpiece end of the equation. There are many great suggestions and details about the machine - "tips and tricks" - going back to the beginning of the thread, but for performance mods I haven't seen any better than those discussed over the past six months or so.

it looks like a lot of vape sites sell this product for much less than the manufacturer's website. are the ones the other sites are selling refurbished models? If I still get the warranty am I safe to purchase the less expensive route or should I always stick with the manufacturer to buy products?
There is no need whatsoever to purchase directly from Arizer. And while Arizer is happy to sell direct, it is actually to their advantage to sell through their authorized retailers. The difference in price simply reflects the discount margin passed on to the reseller. The units sold are exactly the same, factory new with the same warranty.
Having said all that, there are resellers who lead buyers to believe that they are authorized when they are not. These are seen mostly on eBay or Amazon, the real online stores that sell a variety of products are typically legit. There are recommended FC retailers listed on this site along with FC exclusive discounts; you might want to check these out:
