The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

[SF Giant]

I was interested in finding a link to that one handy diagram that shows how to assemble a balloon for the EQ. I tried searching but I'm not sure if I encountered it.

Put one O-ring over the end of the bag about an inch, put the other in between the 2 humps on the mouthpiece, insert the mouthpiece in to the bag so that the O-ring around the bag goes on past the first hump on the mouthpiece, now take the excess bag hanging over the mouthpiece and fold it back towards the bag (away from the part you suck on), now take the O-ring youve had on the mouthpiece the whole time and back it over the first hump so that it holds the excess bit of the bag opening that you have folded back........and voila! Youve got it

I was able to follow these directions accurately and with ease. Thank you!

So, I have neglected to post this question, as I thought, for some odd reason, that I had already posted it here somewhere. I cannot find it, upon searching, so here goes.

For those of you using your EQ with a water pipe; When you clear your tube of vapor at the end of the hit, do you remove the eblow from the tube, or the elbow from the cyclone bowl?

I used to remove it at the tube, and leave the whip between the elbows filled with vapor. This never seemed to pose a problem, and if anything, it made it so that the was always vapor ready to draw instantaneously, albeit a little stale maybe. I probably would have never though to clear it by removing the elbow from the cyclone, until I realized that doing so, the drag remained close to the same when clearing the vapor, as when drawing it. Since I got my nautilus inline, I have noticed that the lack of drag makes it easy to splash water up to your mouth, no matter how little water is in the tube. clearing it at the cyclone keeps the flow restricted enough that it's nearly impossible to get wet clearing it.


So how do you all do it? Do you leave vapor in the whip, while clearing the tube only, or do you clear it all at once (at the cyclone)?

 

[Stu]

When I think of it, I'll clear my bong by detaching the elbow from the cyclone bowl. This does get all the vapor out of the tubing and keeps airflow restricted to help avoid any splashback as PH states. However I must admit that when I'm vaked, I usually forget to do this and just lift the other elbow out of my downstem. I think this is from force of habit at I've always cleared bongs in this manner, so it just seems more "natural".

No problem, I had forgotten by the time I went to switch my first bag too, took me a good few minutes to figure it out

 

[fidget]

I remove the elbow from the bowl, draw for another second or so then clear.

Kind of an impulse buy because I was actually going to order a buddha this morning and all of a sudden s local seller agrees to sell me an EQ for 135. Couldn't resist and Im entirely happy with the results. Im one of the few who actually likes my NO2 but I think the EQ is in another league. I mostly vape at home so this looks my DD for awhile. NO2 is up for sale.

 

[Theo]

DrPiff, I was going to be doing the same thing. I was going to buy a da buddha but on a forum an EQ for $150 went up and I bought it. One of my best weed related purchase to date Enjoy it man!

 

[tranceporter]

Just curious since I bought the Vapr second hand I dont think i can utilize a warranty. If something were to happen could Arizer fix it for a fee?

About 2 days ago, I bought a 12 arm bubbler at my local shop (1/2 way between work and my house hehe), the same one as this

http://www.useyourlungs.com/index.php/bubblers/nice-glass-12-arm-bubbler.html

I bought it primarily for combustion and for something that is more easily transportable than a 2-3 foot bong, but....I started digging around and grabbed the mini whip elbow from the EQ (I broke the other one and all other spares a long time ago) and it fit right into the female GoG receiver on the bubbler, so when running errands today, I hit up another shop that sells Arizer parts and bought 2 more mini whip elbows and am now vapour bonging with the below setup.

As expected it hits very smooth (I set the EQ to 210). 0.2g Sour Diesel gave 10+ big hits (either taste wise, effect wise or cloud wise). I had to stop because I was getting too high, but feel another 3-4 hits would have been possible. There's definite drag, and it does strip away a lot of the taste of normally vaped weed (thats what I find anyways). However, used at a high temperature it gives close to a combustion bong experience high wise.

[edit; this morning I connected a GoG ashcatcher between the EQ and the bubbler, but the drag was terrible and I could not get anything]

that looks very kool dude, i just got my EQ last thursday and the whole reason i got it was because a guy said i'd be hitting it like a pro the same day! Well he was right, i got so high on saturday night i fell asleep in my chair with the 360 on and my laptop on the table!

I am now an advocate for the EQ not having tried anything else, apart from the Alivi8 which wasn't a winner for me. But on learning curve the Extreme Q has to have an edge. I'm so pro now i can play Black Ops hold a bag and a controller, and take hits when i die!



yeah ok, so not exactly a pro but still i have to give the thing massive kudos!

Too many posts to read to find the answer to this question, and I did try the search, but it was not very helpful. I have a question. I just bought my new Extreme Q a couple of months ago, and well the elbow joint it getting a nice coating of oil on the inside, and the bag is getting quit sticky. W

The question is: How long until you are all changing out your bags? Are you using them until they get a hole it it, or changing out at a certain point?

 

[Seek]

I would change the bags when they get too much sticky. I think cleaning them is more effort than their actual price. The elbow joint can be easily and fast cleaned with hot water or slower (and safer) with iso. If you use iso you can recollect the resin but you will then have to evaporate any iso residues left.

 

[SethFahara]

I change my bags about once every 2 or 3 months, using about 3-4 bowls a day. Its really not to bad. I still haven't used anything but the Arizer ones!

I apologize I'm not following the current thread but I got an EQ today and think either it or I have a problem.
First load I put in worked great lots of vapor got very stoned, it was a high grade sativa. I had started at 200 went to 210 and finished it up with a full blast of 260 and ended up with fairly black abv. Just what I expected.
Hours later I started experimenting as far as herbs and temperatures but nothing came close to what I got on the first try. I can't seem to get much vapor, indica, sativa, dry or wet. I actually got a very weak, thin stream at 200 with the fan on 3, without the fan I got almost no vapor until I rally jacked up the temp. I never got the herb to blacken at 260.
Today was the first time I've vaped in 44 yrs of use. If that first try hadn't worked so well I would have thought the EQ was a piece of shit but I know it isn't and should work great.
Anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

 

[Stu]

Try elbow packing. IMO it makes all the difference in the world. Also I find that a finer grind helps quite a bit. The drier and tinyer the herb is, the better.

 

[geech420]

Thanx Stu,

Read your post and immediately went to my grinder and ground up the best Skywalker ever into a very fine powder, I hadn't ground it that fine before. I'm giving the EQ 15 min to warm up at 215c and will then try a straight bowl hit before I get too fancy w/an elbow hit...too be continued

 

[Stu]

Trust me... forget the cyclone bowl and just suck up some herb into the elbow and you'll see quite a difference. But I am obliged to tell you that your mileage may vary. Try it and let us know what you think.

 

[geech420]

Alright... that extra grind really helped and that was w/the shitty plastic grinder that came w/EQ. I should be getting an aluminum 5 pc I ordered tomorrow so hope that will make it better.

Gonna put down the computer and go for that elbow hit now. I figure you were on the money about the grinder, you're prob right bout the elbow

Thanks

 

[geech420]

Yeah that elbow hit seemed to work real well...guess I'll be keeping the EQ

 

[Stu]

Enjoy!

I apologize I'm not following the current thread but I got an EQ today

You are talking about EQ, you are following the thread.

I had started at 200 went to 210...

That is good.

...and finished it up with a full blast of 260 and ended up with fairly black abv. Just what I expected.

260 is too much. It it adjustable, but i wouldn't recommend anyone setting 260. Black abv is not good.

I actually got a very weak, thin stream at 200

This actually can be good vapor, you don't have to see it. You can just be in a different lightning - vapor reacts differently to light. You cannot see it well in bad lightning. Try blowing it towards a window and you could see sunrays in it.

I got almost no vapor until I rally jacked up the temp. I never got the herb to blacken at 260.

This sounds weird. 260 should blacken it fast. My herb get blackened by setting 240 FAST. You can expect vapor to be more visible at high temps, even at bad lightning, because it's more concentrated and not as pure as the classic vapor.

Anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

-Do not aim to vapor visibility, it's effect instead - if you want to see vapor, try blowing it to a window (at the daytime of course)
-Do not set it high it blackens the herb. The vapor is not clean then.
-If it doesn't blacken the herb in 260 setting, then something can be wrong with it. I just can't imagine setting my EQ on 260 and having my herb green for more than a few seconds.
-you already tried it but - use elbow packs. They have smaller loads and vape faster. But less evenly.

Had my EQ for almost two weeks and I just tried the bags last night. Not very impressed and I feel like I would have gotten higher packing the same amount of bud in two or 3 elbow packs. Needless to say that's probably the last time I'll be using the bags. Still have yet to try filling the cyclone up.

I also switched out the stock tubing for 7th floor tubing and it's a worthy upgrade. Also using a SSV mouthpiece with it as well.

 

[geech420]

Thanks for all the good info Seek.
I'm thinking my EQ may not show true temperature readings and not get as hot as it should but I'd hate to have to send it back and be left w/o, as long as I'm getting vapor I guess I'll keep it.

BTW for anybody looking to buy an EQ, I bought mine on eBay for $160 w/no tax or shipping. Has anybody found an EQ for less?
I got my EQ about 24 hrs after they got payment. Although I live less than 100 miles from them I was still very impressed.
The company is called Clearance Products in Pomona CA, they listed the EQ at $169.89 or make an offer. I offered $150 and was refused. I then offered $160 and it was accepted.

After seeing all you get and using it, I think I got an incredible deal!
