Tstat said:Another way is to modify the cyclone. There is a thread here about it. If you take a stainless wire and fit it into the cyclone, it raises the screen slightly. This allows more herb surface to be heated. I know that is not a good description, but it really works. I don't pack elbows anymore, and I even use less. I drop in just enough to cover the screen then I start at 190 and work up to 220 or 230.

Only time i will use bags will be in my room with a smoke buddy (stealth reasons)
I have the same problem with smell, and also notice it doesn't work aswell. I JUST TRIED TAKING IT APART AND it has a lot of dust like residue inside. I had a hard time getting it apart, i cant even get to the heating element. I cannot find any info anywhere on the net about taking this apart. I looked at that vaporpedia you mentioned, but it did't show how to get to the element. I just wanna pull the element out and blow it out with a air hose or dust can. Oh and i blow in my whip all the time. my screen always gets packed so i blow to circulate. I have also read to blow to circulate.Vapsofatso said:Vapsofatso said:I got a question for the extreme-q owners here.
I noticed that my V-tower, which is a simplified Extreme-q, smells when it is on.
Is this normal?
I opened the device, till I got to the ceramic element, however this is one is very hard to clean due to the fact that it is wired onto the device. And the hole in the element is very small.
Anyone who has experience cleaning his heating element?
Is there anyone who can help me?
Update: I have disassembled it like described in Vaporpedia.
However I have gone a step further, i removed the heating element + glass cover of the base, which is done by removing 3 screws. Then I tried to completely remove the heating element which is wired to the circuitboard. But the one of the screws won't come lose so this is not possible.
After I removed the glass cover I am now trying to get a wire or something through the element, then I can connect this wire to a small cotton ball drenched in ISO, and pull it trough and hopefully clean it.
I noticed already that there some sign of dirt on the extra ceramic plate under the heating element, to hold it up, which is probably caused by blowing into the whip. Which I did a couple of time, yes I know very stupid.

Bluntcrush said:Hey everyone!
I was re-reading thru the thread to find out the easiest/ cheapest way to attach my EQ to a water filtration device. It has been great re-reading and taking all kinds of notes, but I would like to save a little time. So far I have read about a gong adapter and an Ehle 500 ML and diffuser. I want a set up that is really efficient for reducing lung burn. I would like to know what is the cheapest/ easiest as well as what will provide the best results. Money isn't really an object, but I consider myself rather frugal when it comes to expenses so I am looking for a good value.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, feel free to email me with opinions if you like!
Cheers,

Most Excellent Stu! Thanks for the super quick reply! It sounds like I could be vapor bonging by about 3pm CST! Funny you should say that because after I go my EQ I gave my buddy my cheapo Graffx slider (which was about 5 years old ) Wondering if I got something like that for the short term (before I pick my fave glass bong) would I still need an adapter because I am pretty sure the EQ hose (plus a little sealant) would fit in the down stem?Stu said:@Bluntcrush
I was looking to switch to vaporbonging recently, too. Before I spent a ton of dough on some high end glass, I wanted to make sure that it was something that I liked. So I went to my LHS and picked up a basic toob bong (Chinese) with an 18mm downstem. Then I just attached the mini whip to the glass mouthpiece of the regular whip and inserted the mini whip elbow straight into the bong's downstem and I was up and running. I enjoyed it so much that I made the decision that I wanted some really nice glass and bought a great piece that I use daily now.
So my suggestion would be to try a basic bong from your LHS that has GonG fittings, and see if you like it. The Chinese piece I bought was 40 bucks, so you can get into the hobby for very little dough. If you like it, there are unlimited options that you can go with in the glass world.
Good luck!

Wow Paracaps! That thing looks amazing (and sick!) I watched the video and it seems like it is capable of delivering plenty of medicine! Wondering now if some other members can weigh in on this because this seems like it is completely the answer to my prayers!!!paracaps said:Bluntcrush said:I want a set up that is really efficient for reducing lung burn.
I've been using the Aqua Vape Vaporizer Water Filtration and found it to be really effective in cooling the vap and it's a nice alternative. The quality of the glass and product is fantastic but it can be a little taxing on the pocket.
