The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

[Acebeans]

A too fine of grind can be a problem too. A coffee grind consistency might be too much of a good thing.

With vaporizing the material needs to be properly cured. Its not like the not so good ole days of smoking when you could dry your herb out a little with the flames. About half way through your bud would finally be dry. It doesn't work that way with vaporizing. Dry your product and you will be good to go. Let it sit out in a dry area for awhile.

I put my bud in a brown paper bag with those packets that absorb water before I left for work today.

Hopefully that will aid in drying it out.

Sorry about the typos guys on a cell phone.

What I find really unique about vaporizing is that every body is different. Not 1 way of doing things works for every one. I've used an EQ exclusively for the last 2 years and love it. Good luck.

I have had my Extreme-Q for a while now, and like everyone else I absolutely love it! The effectivity of the herb champer is very impressive, vapes so nice and evenly every time. Definitely my best vaporizer yet, I have been using it all the time ever since I got it, especially the ballon is very nice!

Before you get with trying any technique. Make sure all the normal things have been worked out.
Initially, go over the obvious things Is the unit set to Celsius or Fahrenheit? Are all the plugs Fully connected? Does the unit have enough air clearance underneath? All Good? (BTW, I have been giving my 2 cents recently in the Arizer EQ forum.)

The Cyclone bowl really does need to heat up fully and should be the first indicator if you are on the right path. Until you have worked out the kinks/bugs/trouble shooting/learning curve,etc I would stick with the stock cyclone bowl initially.There are some posts throughout the EQ thread mentioning this. This is mostly a convection vaporizer. So the air inside needs to reach full temp first. If the glass is already fully heated, then the chamber will keeps up it's heat better and at a better constant. Instead of say, cooling off the glass with each draw and making the unit ramp up all over again. As for me, I will actually wait for the elbow piece to get a little warm before using.

Normally, I have been elbow packing first to get familer. Then later on, empty everything into the cyclone part. Because it is already that much hotter. I don't have to fiddle with the knobs or the bowl so much. Which contributes to speeding up my learning curve. hope this helps.

Thanks for all the great info everyone.

Just got done taking hits from the bag and it's a huge difference. Not sure what I was doing wrong with the whip but I'm sure I'll figure it out at some point. Just happy I got it working!

Completely toasted from 1 bag. I haven't even stirred the material yet so I'm guessing I can get another bag out of it.


I will post some pics in a bit.

I'm not sure what the issue is but I think it might be how moist the bud I'm using is.

.

If the bud is moist is wont vape well... Grind it then put it on a piece of paper for an hour, kind of spead it out.. Put the other buds on a piece of there own paper for a while..

If the bud is a tiny bit moist this will dry it up.. and it should vape better..

Exact advice given to me over a year ago when I was new w/ the Q

Bring on those questions!

Adapter # 4 just came.
Hey DDave, the one I spoke of earlier is the same one you first posted about. This is what you want if you want a DDA. See my post on the previous page if you want the link.
And get 'em while you can folk, because it took 2 other eBay purchases to finally get the DDA original for less than $15 - the other two were no more than $8 so I think you see where this is going. And I only found this one by modifying my search criteria. Besides the two other DDAs that broke, one was too wide for any stock screen made and the other, while it worked, is as tall as a Cyclone bowl and no better than a mod'd Cyclone. Sent the first one back on their dime because they sent me something other than what was pictured. Plus no screen is made for it...would have to cut my own outta something.

And please DDA owners, buy a test tube holder and use it! This is number three for me as I broke the other two DDAs when they were still hot. Amazing how long they can stay scalding.


I really like this particular adapter DDave found because it makes everything better; quicker, more efficient (less goes sooooo much farther and can be made more potent using less AC) and it helps hold the heat in the metal cylinder portion with the middle location & width which just adds to the whole Q experience.
And a black silicone hose was a very nice addition. My Arizer elbow works just fine for me so I'm not going to get something else anytime soon.

Another idea that might have not of been mentioned somewhere in the thread, I use some of the clear hose part of an used bag adapter and put it on the end of the mouthpiece and it not only holds the stirrer when not in use, it keeps in any vapor from escaping in between and the clear tubing is easy to keep sanitary. No banging of teeth with glass either.
Yeah, I gotta low tolerance.
Maybe it is time to get around to washing it...
Nah.

It's days away from being a year old now.


You wouldn't believe how long it took me to edit this thing.

Good find DDave & thanks FC for the resource.

I like the black whip. My clear whips get dirty pretty quickly. At least with black you cant see that stain. I've never used my glass stirrer, it looks nice tho, I just bounce my unit a bit a flick the top a few times to drop any herb down to get more heat.

 

[CityBoi]

So how much does the DDA mod help? I use my extreme all the time but did not ever think of upgrading it

 

[sickmanfraud]

My 4 year old extreme q is going strong, love those elbow packs.

What is the best temp to use with an elbow pack and the regular tuff bowl??

I like to use 210 or 215 celcius.

I just blow a small puff to clear the elbow screen. I sometimes use the stirrer to crush remaining material, but it's usually just a plug for the hose.

Hmmm I wonder since some have reported that the remote will turn there tv volume up and down if we can dl a universal remote app on our phones and get it to work the fan . Anybody that can confirm what brand TV there eq remote worked with ?

I got my Q today!

 

[Justpassedu]

I got my Q today!

Sweet ataxian , seek out Oregon glass blower and grab one of his elbows , they are thick, stock elbow will break easy if not careful. Hope you like the q , give it a good test and report back , I'd luv to hear your thoughts ? Any help needed post it up or feel free to message me. Congrats

The SOLO tasted the best of all portables!
I tried various plugin vaporizers àn was thinking the SOLO is so good I bet the Q is a good one?
I got a new NANO today so I'm kind of over medicated!
tomorrow I will break in the Q!

I will be asking lots of questions!

Still waiting for the replacement EQ to arrive. I bought one originally from Agracan from Canada at a reasonable price. Good seller who was helpful with my warranty and return. Downside, The RMA for this being sent from home, to the seller and then to Arizer is a lengthy process, normally. And then you add border customs to the mix. Hopefully, this one arriving will live up to the 5+ year reputation the other EQ's seem to have and then I won't be such a bother.

I would like to hear more about anybody's experience with the Oregon Glass pieces and the EQ. There were several 18mm that looked like good candidates for elbow pieces as well as Ddave's on their site. And hand blown glass too? How well do they stay warm? The whole idea of using a better grade of glass for replacement parts and mods, I find interesting. Or that Arizer has a replacement glass heater. And.... that there is upgradable glass heaters out there!

Also considering some glass replacement screen instead of using the stainless steel center screen that comes with the cyclone bowl. Preferably a glass screen that has smaller holes.

Hey guys, so I was at the beer store the other day and something at the till caught my eye.. a small camo cooler bag for presumably carrying a 6 pack just happened to be almost exactly the size I figured I'd need for my EQ. Here's my $10 storage/carrying setup.

This storage bag works better than expected! It holds the EQ, my grinder, my DBV tube wrapped in bubble wrap and my ddave adapter or cyclone bowl perfectly. It even holds the power cables and box in the front pouch and water pipe in the mesh on top.

I was having issues finding a screen for my DDave and switched back to the cyclone recently and it works well with the DBV tube.

I also use the mouth EQ bag mouth piece as a "quick connect" between glass bulb mouth piece and our water tool. Wife prefers water, I don't.

Anyways, I hope my EQ storage bag inspires some of my fellow vape enthusiasts for their own storage solutions. I wasn't about to pay $60 for a vape bag when I could make my own cheaper and better.

A heads up to all Bag Blower's , I posted this way back on the thread but since i am always seeing new comers ill post it again. To seal my bag so no vapor escapes i purchased the camel back ergo hydrolock valve. It is $6 on amazon right now , Link : http://www.amazon.com/CamelBak-9012...0421&sr=8-3&keywords=camelbak+hydration+valve ,, What i do is blow my bag and place this at the end of the bag with a small piece of the stock tubing. When you flick that little yellow switch it stops vapor from escaping and i open the valve when i'd like to take a hit. Works well and is cheap.

** Oh and sorry @CuckFumbustion , i did not see until now your question on the oregon glass blower elbows. My experience was that when i 1st got my Eq i found out the hard way that the elbows glass is not to strong. I small tap at just putting it down on the table had broken two on me. I did some research for something different and noticed many companies made elbows . I than saw a few reviews posted way way back on amazon for OGB and decided to try a elbow. It is much thicker than stock and happens to be very nice , still going strong and it has taken a few table smacks and survived. It works the same as stock but is just much thicker , i also notice no problem with it heating up also , i get nice milky clouds using it.

I just got my extreme q about a week ago from namaste vape and I must say it's an awesome piece of kit.... All I did to connect my 14.4 mm glass pieces to it is ground down an old downpipe which had a 14.4 mm joint to a 18.8 mm bowl and put 2 elbows on each end of a length of whup

Since you're not afraid of grinding some glass, look at the ridge holding the screen in your cyclone bowl. I filed it out on one of my bowls and I think it works better now.

Hey FC, been reading this thread a couple weeks and i thought i'd give my .

I got my extreme q back in january secondhand, the old, metal cover one and havve been using it since. GREAT vape experience so far (got a silicone whip like 2 weeks in) but after reading through tis iv'e decided to get a hold of those DDave mod pieces and a better substitute for my elbow piece (as i already broke one of them).
My problem has been that i live in EUROPE goddamnit and it seems like no european stores sell nice vape accesories and GonG pieces, so i have been searching around and hafe found some options, in case you find yourself ina a similar situation.

The polish page recommended on this thread was a great discovery, it sells the DDave adapter as well as many super cheap bongs and wax nails The best part is, polish coin is worth about 1/4 euro!!! Also i have found that the prices expressed in their shipping department on the page are totally wrong an actually they charge very little for postage (at least to spain) the link to the ddave piece is : http://unikatowebonga.pl/pl/wszystkie/669-szklana-przejsciowka-188-mm-188-mm.html (yah, i know its in polish, but the english version of the page doesnt work as well)

Furthermore, as i haven't been able to find any SSV wands for my EQ, and i want to try and increase airflow with my whip and get more durable glass, so, as the 18mm flass joints are standard i am thinking about ordering an elbow piece from a lab equipment company (same one which i bought my silicone whip from), here in spain which sell straight and 90º angle adapters. ¿Anybody know if the straight elbow will help increase airflow? you think it's a good source for glass?

Thanks for the insight on my vape FC! STAY UP

Also, I've seen a pic on this thread where one of you guys use a Male-Male adapter on top of your DDave and stick the tube straight into the top. How well does that increase aiflow? what diamater was the Male? was it 18-18 or 18-14?

Hola Knax, i used this guy for my wand:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WHIP-FOR-...771?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f4e0c2673

asked him for a gg one and he sorted me out, really helpful chap and he sells othe EQ stuff. Dunno if he could sort you out but never know...

Massdrop is taunting me to pull the trigger on this one. Trying to resist VAS again!
Some Extreme-Q ABV porn could be useful.

I was going to look at that grinding the inside lip down but I found a better solution is too roll the wire mesh into a dome so that nothing sits directly on the lip and all has airflow through it although I have considered notching this lip so it's not a complete circle but il do that with a tough one. dunno how much difference it will make tbh
