I use Labo Organic Japanese Cotton in all of my e-cigs, should work great as a filter in the wand, and for $6 you get a lifetime supply.

@kellya86 did you see the link in this post?

It was for organic cotton not hemp fiber. I don't think there is a major advantage of using hemp fiber over cotton.

 

[kellya86]

Thanks @Nugg and @Treeburner
I missed that link first time sorry. Iv ordered my fury balls now. So thank you again. I think I would have preferred hemp fibre but that seems to be as available as rocking horse shit.

How many people actually use a filter in the wand. ? Does it actually combat stinky whip syndrome. I hope so.

 

[Nugg]

Nah mate the whip still gets stinky. It just takes longer.

Are you going to leave it in the wand long enough to collect some oil? Or are you filtering for another reason?

 

[kellya86]

I plan to leave it in the wand to collect oils then re vape later. And partly to eliminate particulate matter making it to me. Even though it's harmless and the lungs deal with it.

My silicone whip has only lasted a month before it has become uncleanable. I have a load of it so I don't mind replacing it. Just be nice if it lasted a bit longer.

I just don't have the same image of how the Log works as you might. That seemed to be a shot wonder than any sort of draw vape. But IDK.

My mistake CF. I was just speculating if the most general of terms if you know what I mean.

But yea, Fill and ramp up your vape to temp in the cradle. Green Light goes on. Pick up Vape. Battery maintains the temp. Then draw at your leisure. Less wear and tear on the batteries. Get the advantage of the ramp up temp with the AC.

Yup. It may be just my bogan Aussie thinking but a small single load unit would "cure" many bong smokers of the combustion disease as well .

Other vape manufacturers do try to sort out what is considered a 'session' and the steps taken. I'm with you on your point. The ritual and the impact of the vapor would convert those who are accustomed to say bong rips. They would have something similar to the bong ritual with the vape in the cradle that you've been describing. Then they get that concentrated convection vapor when they actually pull off it. Perhaps even 'cough to get off' a little. Then 'clear' it - draw whatever is left to be vaped by battery. Then exhale visible vapor that resembles smoke. All thing being similar enough to combusting to the unfamiliar.

I am actually converting someone a little on my own. Brought my EQ and my honey collector bong to his place. He never seen an EQ before and picked it up and examined it like it was the coke bottle in "The Gods Must Be Crazy". He would later try it and said it was the 'bong equivalent' to my PAX. My PAX being a 'bowl'. So he is now already on board with your 'cure'. He was even that much more amazed when I told him it had a fan!

I love converting people. Iv done 2 now. But only with portables. I'm yet to persuade someone to get an eq.

@TomC1315 Yes! including that bemused expression. He was holding it at that awkward angle and looking at the bottom and stuff.
I'm surprised he didn't jump when I turned it on.

I have seen that look on a few peoples faces when I would whip out a piece of glass to smoke from & I don't have particularly nice glass. That said I have smoked & seen too many smoked like this.....

I should also add I have not combusted cannabis in at least six months now & have no intention of ever doing so. In fact for most of my friends their first vaporizer exposure is with Arizer through me. They think I am a weed scientist . I love whipping out a few bags from the EQ if I am having a BBQ to share around the table. It usually ends well for people who may not have used weed in years.

 

[Nugg]

Lol I get the 'weed scientist' comments from my mates too.

I don't bother trying to convert them anymore. They just don't understand how powerful the eq is.

 

[Treeburner]

I have always seemed to get less high from vaping than I would from smoking the equivalent amount. When I picked up my Davinci Ascent recently, I found myself packing more in it than I would in a bowl, and not getting any higher, but rather actually feeling less high. I always assumed it was because vaping at lower temperature (430°F or under) means less of the high-boilers are vaporized, but since ABV can be reused I wasn't too concerned about the inefficiency.

But since adding the DDave v2 mod to my EQ, all of a sudden I'm getting higher off a lesser amount (less than half what I would usually smoke) packed in the 18mm wand and drawn through my 500ml glass bong. I always end up breaking up too much herb, but last night rather than vaping two wands I stopped at one, and found that was perfect!

Really amazed at the difference the DDave mod makes, can't wait for my extra 14mm GonG adapter to arrive so I can try the 14mm wand without having to switch mouthpieces every time. But if an 18mm wand pack is ideal, the 14mm is likely too small for me - guess I'll find out soon enough!

Bought my first vaporizer today.. the EQ.

I love it so far. I thought I'd dislike balloons and use the whip but it's the other way around, altough one of the reasons I don't like the whip you can't inhale hard enough for my liking and it takes too long.

I tried the whip with 0.2 gram at 190 then 200 degrees after a few minutes, had a total of 15 hits over 15 minutes (really long and slow), barely any vapor so I thought it wouldn't be that effective.. boy was I wrong.

After that I fill the bowl with ~0.1 gram (about 1/3rd) and made 1 balloon out of it at 190 degrees after letting it warm up. I tried to make a second but there wasn't much vapor in it. I made another balloon shortly after with a fresh 0.1 gram bowl. I definately feel the balloons but the whip was way more intense, almost like edibles. Maybe because I put it at 200 degrees?

Your posts convinced me to be honest

When using the whip, are you packing the elbow or using the cyclone bowl? The whip isn't so good with the cyclone bowl, but when combined with packing the elbow is much better. Make sure you preheat the unit and elbow, and then the weed after packing.

If you really want to make the most of the EQ, look into the DDave mod, best money I've spent on vaping equipment!

I just used the whip once in the store before I purchased it and while I had little to no vapor I was stoned out of my mind so.. it worked fine for me. I read about packing the elbow everywhere but have not looked into it yet. I'm definately getting the DDave mod. (I haven't been this (comfortably) stoned in a long time.. praise my nice feeling lungs and all of you at FC)

I can't understand vaping isn't super popular everywhere.. I really did not expect to get this stoned.. using google I read many stories about people not getting as high as with smoking and I was kind of concerned but.. yeeeeah!!!

Trying elbow packing now.. my weed actually keeps falling out, but then I can just suck hard at the whip and suck the weed back, not sure if this works. I get almost no vapor but I'm definately feeling its effects.

Edit: managed to do it by pressing the weed so it got stuck. I got 2 good vapor hits then there was no vapor left but it was pretty harsh on the throat, I think I prefer to use the cyclone or balloons.

We do & that is what really matters although my current setup really delivers satisfying hits. In fact I forgot just how powerful this thing is when I had 2 elbows for breakfast .

Thats the spirit joker, have a good play around & if you have a 18mm water tool handy try that out too.

 

[kellya86]

@joker I'm counting you as a convert then.
I'm so glad you are blown away by the effects like I was. I too couldn't see why everyone doesn't do this.

It took about a week for me to be able to produce visible vapour. It's half setting the machine and half technique.

If you load the cyclone 3/4 full (loosely), it will self pack the elbow when you draw. Start at 190 after preheating at 200 for a couple mins, you want all the glass hot before you load, then let it sit once loaded to perculate. Then give a long, slow, consistent draw, until you feel it on your throat, then stop and hold it in for 5 seconds, then slowly release it.

Your next hit will be at 200, X2, then 210x2 and see how it goes. Let me know how this goes, you should produce clouds.

I think it's quite widely accepted that the whip is harder hitting that the bag. Also the bag gets sticky with thc residue quickly and it's very hard to reclaim, where as with my glass I just wash in a cup of iso99 then evaporate every 2 weeks to produce some very nice concentrate.

 

[Maine420]

I use a shorter whip, makes the whip more enjoyable!

 

[kellya86]

Does that not make it hotter and harsher? I use about 3 feet of silicone whip.

 

[Maine420]

Not at all , Kelly! and you don't have to work so hard inhaling because the stem is shorter! I use 4 inches of silicone tubing!

Finally took a picture of my setup, Extreme Q with DDave v2 mod and 500ml glass bong:

Also, my replacement case arrived today from Vapor Seller, and they did send the right one this time. Pictures didn't come out well so I will take some later and post them, but the case is great and fits the Extreme Q, bowls, wands, hoses, plugs and anything else you might need. The only thing that doesn't fit is my bong, which I didn't expect to fit anyway!

[kellya86]

@Maine420, 4 inches, I can't believe that's not intolerable. But I don't doubt it works for you so I will try it before I knock it. I will let you know how it goes.

Nice setup!
But, is that ice in the bong?
Vapor is different than smoke, cold will cause some to condense in the water and on the glass. Costing you a little potency and dirtying your glass faster.
Have you tried warm water?
My personal recommendation is to run straight hot water through your bong for a minute then dump that and fill with warm water.

Give it a try, it's worth the 2 minute investment.

It is ice in the bong, have tried both hot and cold, and even if cold may cause more condensation of the vapor I've found it worthwhile since it makes the vapor easier to inhale.
