I have an Arizer Q being delivered today along with the DDave mod to replace my broken Herbalaire 2.2. I'm looking for a storage/ travel case.
any suggestions ?

Not sure how many still use an EQ, but I just bought the product below. Hoping it will be great for holding HOT bowls and wands, if and when you want to remove the load, for stretched out sessions.
This is a 3-prong holder, they make a 5-prong holder and various colors, and you can adapt to either 18mm or 14mm. I went with RED, to remind me stuff is HOT.

So the omega wand brings the elbow packed bowl closer to the heating element correct?Received the DDave “Omega Kit” today. Using .2 grams in short bowl adapter, BETTER then the .4 load in the standard Arizer one.
QUESTION:
Anyone else have and solved the issue I’m having with the DDave “short bowl adapter”?
Even with NO FAN, my draws are moving the bowl screen around enough, causing some herb to get under and past the screen and into the heating unit below. Using the fan, makes it even worse.

I just got a Q to replace an old Herbalaire that died. one of the features that I always liked about the HA was its ability to drop in a nug without grinding. though I am not a purist of any sort, there was something nice about an undisturbed/ unground , trichomes in tact etc that made for a great and potent and flavorful vaping experience. Anyone have any luck with the Arizer without grinding. Otherwise, my initial impressions are exactly what I wanted from this type of desktop unit. which is to say great so far.
Hi everybody!
After a year or so using the Flowerpot, I’m using my wonderful V-Tower again (same model than the Extreme, but without the fan function). I love the way the Extreme can be used n more relaxed / longwhip session and, after years using it, I find it one of the greatest vapes for the money.
I have the DDave V2 14mm and 18mm adapters, and these last days I’ve used the 14mm adapter with like 0.2g of nice sativas, which is the way I usually use the Extreme since years ago. Indeed, it is a wonderful vape!. I run from 175c going up to 195c and doing 3/4 hits in every temperature change, which is like 15/20 hits in around 2 hours, while I listen to music or watch a live concert / movie.
I would like to re-discover the Extreme. Guess I’m going back to the 18mm adapter and use around 0.3/0.4g per session and I would like to know how you’ll recommend me to use it for a better / more efficient highs. I’ve used it in a lot of ways, lower temps,higher temps, changing from 170c to 210c... as I’ve said, I’ve had this vaporizer since like 4 years ago, and I know it well.... but I want to explore and I would like to know how the more experienced users like me are using it right now.
I’m only vaping on weekends for recreational use, and I love the psicoactive highs that sativas use to deliver, but also like to relax from time to time with a nice indica.
Aiming for getting “as high as possible” on a 10:15 Saturday Night (yes, I LOVE The Cure, excuse the joke) how would you be using your Extreme EQ????
I would like to hear your opinions and try to use the Extreme in different ways for fun and experimenting, let me know please things like:
- Are you using the DDave Mod?
- Packing elbows? (With the DDave I fi d redundant to make elbow packs in the screens since the herbs are so close that they kind of pack themselves in every hit)
- How much herb do you use each session and how many hits?
- Temperatures?
- Short or long sessions?
-...............
I have as many herb as I want, since I grow it myself in a very sunny place, which gives me unlimited supply , so efficiency inusing is not one of my goals, but getting as high as possible .
Thanks in advance guys!
While a NEW device for me, I left some notes above your post, lots of user notes in the rest of this thread.
Not sure you need any advice since you said:
“I run from 175c going up to 195c and doing 3/4 hits in every temperature change, which is like 15/20 hits in around 2 hours”.
If you can stretch a .2g load that long, you are the expert!
Thanks for the reply!
Well....I’ve used it for 4 years now, and my post is aiming for changing the way I’ve come to finally use the Extreme after all these years.
Of course, I stretch the sessions for a more “relaxed” way of vaping that, lets say, with the Flowerpot..... but maybe I’ve made myself used to an specific way of using the Extreme and now I want to re-discover, after some years, new ways of using it. Specially for a more concentrated sessions, which I’m not so experienced because I usually use the Flowerpot for that.
I’m reading some of the users tips in these last years, but I thought I could post so I can specifically explain my situation and get more specific advice.
sorry, the bold type and all caps were not intentional, I just started typing and that's how it displayed...FWI: Typing in all CAPS = SHOUTING in online forum etiquette.
I like an occasional NUG myself, how are you using your EQ with hugs?
I do this, I use the bong that is sold as an attachment for the Vapexhale. I only did this to improve flavor. I am not sure what small particles are you talking about thou.anyone tried hooking a glass mini bong onto the vape end ? so you can hold it into your hand to hit it
or a compatible glass bubbler you can use as a mouthpiece? for a smoother experience with the small particles caught in the water
I have seen a Extreme Q showing the wrong temperature, I noticed that it was showing 260° on screen and then if I pressed down to 259° it will show that the real temp was 224° and will start raising it up. Your device might be faulty I think and I dont think using the fan will help.My flower is coming out much greener after running the extreme q than any other vapes I'm used to. I'm heating it up and letting it sit for 20 minutes at 400F and then elbow packing but I'm getting really light hits. Even at like 430+ I'm unable to get milky hits. I'm using a 18 f/f adapter that's shorter than the stock bowl. I'm running the hose but should I consider running the fan?
I've had one of these for a couple years now w/ 14mm ddave mod, and yesterday I had an idea that really upgraded the performance of my unit.
I'm not sure how much of a problem this is with stock/18mm mod, but with the 14mm mod the basket screens get clogged exceptionally quickly. I'd tried capping my own screens, which did improve the problem a bit, but didn't completely fix it.
Then yesterday, it dawned on me: "Why do I even need a basket? I just need some way of holding the flat screen in place"
So, I decided to cut up a flat screen in hopes of finding a way to hold it in place on the wand. It took 3-4 attempts, but the final result improves airflow tremendously, and doesn't seem to get clogged very easily.
I'll post a couple pics later if there's confusion, but here's the writeup of what I did:Imgur link now included at the bottom of the post.
DISCLAIMER: The measurements included in the below writeup are all "eyeballing" measurements. Usually these screens come in packs of 50+ so having to trash a couple failed attempts isn't the worst result in the world, but still. When in doubt, trust your gut instead of adhering exactly to the measurements I gave here. The biggest thing to keep in mind is making sure the screen doesn't poke out beyond the wand, which usually would be caused by not making at least 1 of the initial 8 cuts deep enough.
1) The screens should be at least 1 inch in diameter. You can almost certainly get away with 3/4 inch, but 1 inch was what I used and know works. Also, these instructions are specifically for the 14mm DDave mod. You will need to make your own measurements, and YMMV, if you attempt this with the 18mm mod or stock setups.
2) Cut 4 "tabs" out of the sides of one of the screens. These "tabs" should be about 1/8 inch wide, and about 1/4 inch long. If you don't feel like measuring, you should still get decent results by positioning the scissors right in the middle of the screen, and moving right/left a couple scissor widths before making the cut. In the end, you should have made 8 total cuts, in 4 "pairs", making roughly a plus-sign shape in the screen.
3) Cut the sections between these "tabs" out. It's at a kind of awkward angle so it may require some fiddling, but in the end, you should have a plus sign shaped screen with diagonal lines between each "leg" of the plus sign. At this point, take your wand and place it on the middle of the in-progress screen. If you see any metal poking out, especially on any of the "corners" between the tabs, make sure to trim it, as it will likely block the wand from fitting in the bowl.
4) Fold each of the tabs into the center of the screen, one on top of the other. You'll want to crease these folds as heavily as possible, either by using the flat side of a scissor blade to smash the screen down on a table or pressing firmly with fingernails. Depending on how deep the original cuts were, you may need to include a small amount of the diagonal sections with some/all of the folds in order to ensure the screen will fit.
5) Now you'll want to fold the tabs again, this time back to the outside but with a small lip. This will allow the tabs to fit into the wand without requiring the screen itself to be smaller than the wand. I formed the small lip by holding each tab about 1/16in from the original fold when I made the second fold.
6) Fit the screen into your wand. I recommend using a cold wand because it may require some fiddling. You'll want to angle the screen slightly so that you can focus on putting in one tab at a time. Once done, use a grinder or other metal surface to press the screen firmly into the wand, and you're done!
This screen mod makes a huge difference in vaping, mostly through a vast improvement in airflow. Extractions seem to be a bit faster and heavier even on the same temp settings, and the screen feels about as open (if not slightly moreso) than a freshly cleaned capped screen. I'll still need to experiment over the coming days, but so far I've had nothing but positive results.
Here's a link to an imgur album with images of each step. Let me know your results if you try this!
Sort of, but the "back" of the basket is completely absent. I've actually never had the real capped screens, just made my own using a regular basket and cut a small circle out of the same pipe screen as the ones I used above. With those, while they didn't clog quite as fast as the uncapped basket, over time I'd notice deposits of pollen building up in the basket part behind the cap, eventually clogging the airflow. Additionally, the baskets tend to build up residue in the sidewalls that's hard to get out, further restricting airflow. When you have a flat screen that completely covers the inlet of the wand, the basket ends up being unnecessary and ends up just getting in the way of good airflow, hence the custom cut-out screen above. Also, I think the diameter of the screen is larger since there's no metal rim like there would be with the basket.A little confused... are you basically making your own capped screens like the DDave ones
