Stu said:. . . However if you get a cheapo bong that is already fitted with a GonG adapter (many if not most have this these days), you'll get a much better idea of true vapor bonging and it makes clearing your chamber much easier by simply removing the GonG piece as a carb.
Good luck in your endeavors!!

Anything more unnecessarily fancy if not counter-productive?

Is this what the Extreme-Q looks like after a few uses. The whip looks pretty dirty. What is that resin or oils like it was said to me in another thread? That brown looks like bong resin. Whatever it is, my lungs are gona look the same so how healthy is this again?
Also that seems to be a full gram of weed in the cyclone bowl, what is the minimin that could be used?
All that said - my Extreme-Q will be arreiving in the next day or 2 "HAPPY FACE"

hereatlast said:I'd say taste and color would be the best indicators for a bag-change.
Oven bags (the kind you cook a chicken, turkey, etc. in) are consistently recommended for replacement since they offer the same functionality at a much lower price than those dedicated 'vapor bags.' I will say that changing the bags is a huge pain with this unit, a quick search will reveal good instructions on this site (or use the manual's reccs).
john24 said:Awsome vaporizer, just got it recently. I was wondering how often you should change the bags? Days? Weeks? Months? I have no idea?
Also, in the UK, does anyone know where the best place to buy the bags? and also for spare parts encase I break a piece of glass?
CutePanda said:Hello fellow users: Yesterday I decided to clean both elbows, both screens, the bag mouthpiece, and couldn't figure out a way to disconnect the mouthpiece from the whip. I cranked up the temperature to 215c on fan speed 3 and held the mouthpiece over it till it was too hot to touch with my hands and then tried to disconnect it with no luck. Should I try soaking it in hot water? Thanks!

I think you're on the right track, Oldie. The original toob bong I bought had an 18mm opening, but required a downstem that narrowed the female end to 14. I asked the owner of my LHS if he had any other downstems that didn't reduce to 14. He poked around for a minute and found one that he swapped out for me. Bottome line, they're pretty easy to find. Even if you get a piece with a 14mm downstem, you can either get a 14/18 adapter, or find a 14mm male piece that connects to your tubing. Pretty simple to find either way.
Thanks. As I tried to explain (lamely) again just above, what I'm trying to nail down is whether the diameter of the air path through the diffuser is actually different. Seems to me they are, and that the 18/18 provides greater flow that an 18/14 with an adapter. Or put another way, since the Q's elbow is an 18, pulling the vapor through a 14 downstem (even with a joint adapter) would seem to reduce the airflow in the downstem. (I've essentially done this in my homemade bong, and it seems to have resulted in needing a stronger draw.)
FWIW, I'm in the same boat as you regarding sensitivity in my respiratory system (I've got chronic bronchitis) and the water diffusion has made a big difference for me, so I highly recommend giving it a shot.
Hmmm . . . so care to say what setup you're using?
Thanks again!

Well, pls do!
I will say that I'm sure an 18mm slide joint would be noticeably different than a 14mm when combusting (in most cases) owing to the inherently higher airflow when using a slide (as opposed to a vaporizer/whip combo as the source of the goodies).
This remark is actually quite helpful. My unfamiliarity with the various equip and its different possible applications, is clearly a signif challenge. Most of the comments I find use a short-hand vernacular which assumes prior experience; while that's understandable, I'm still (embarrassingly) at the primer level. But I'm trying to come up the curve
I'll edit this post to try and take a stab at elaborating how different types of diffusion offer different feels...I'm sure this is an area where other users would be equipped to offer their own perspectives. I'll say in advance that trying to describe such a difference is really hard, forgive what will certainly be a futile attempt.
IMHO that would be enormously useful. Hard? Maybe. Futile? Not in the least.
Thanks again, and thanks in advance.

Stu said:I'm using my EQ with 2 feet of nylon tubing (5/16 I.D.) with an elbow joint on both ends. This connects my EQ to my Ben Wilson mini inline (15 slits ). (She's my avatar now)
Beautiful. Is this the 11", 13", or 14"? And I take it that this works fine with your bronchial challenges? But curious, can that donut splash guard also work as a pinch of sorts so that ice can also be used in the tube?
I'm thinking about your question about restricting airflow, but I really don't think the downstem diameter makes much of a difference. You're going to be restricted by the smallest portion of your vapor path, and the 2 elbow joints (in my setup at least) have a much narrower diameter than the downstem. So if the elbow joints are the narrowest portion of the vapor path, then whatever comes "downstream" really shouldn't restrict more or less. That's my thinking anyway.
OMG, thx for this comment and boy do I feel stupid In the first place, I hadn't realized the elbow mouth is narrower than the downstem; the mouth diameter is 1/2" which is <13mm. Furthermore, the 5/16" diameter of the tubing is <8mm. Between your comments and hereatlast's, I realize I've been going down the rabbit hole on this one. Where I can see the 18/18 still being a factor is if there is a downstem needing to be connected to the elbow (unlike your inline), but again, even if it's an adapter that would still be larger than the incoming flow.
Mea Culpa: My only defense is that engineers are hyper-obsessive by nature, and, hell, mechanical isn't even my discipline anyway. (Jeez, that sounds lame.)
You've been a huge help. Thanks again - not just for the know-how, but the patience.
