The Extreme-Q Vaporizer

[Seek]

If someone has plenty of these screens, it could be an interesting and cloudy experiment . Heat exchanging power of eq enhanced like this could be ultimate (but also too many of these, imo 20+ could restrict airflow)
And if some1 want to put many screens there, should be more careful that they don't get too deep (they shloud be only where ceramic is, not lower or they will supply heat where they shouldn't). There is enough space for like 2-3 layers, where one layer is 2-6 screens (in my vid there is only one top layer with 3 screens)

...substitute the elbow with a normal lab 19 mm to tube glass joint,this is to reducing a little the distance from the heating and righting the airflow.

Where can you get one of these? Are they cheap?

A Da buddha wand also looks like a cheap viable solution, being only $15.99 + shipping.

Pretty nifty improvised bubbler too.

Yeah I've been thinking lately, since vaping is at a much lower temp than smoke, could plastic be a viable cheap solution for water filtration? I glass, but plastic could be portable without worrying of breakage and could be pretty small and inconspicuous, like a 20 OZ bottle of Mountain Dew, .

I've done that before. Gutted bic pen fit right on to the hose so I figured I'd give it a shot. Doesn't taste great, but it does work. Hardest part is making it tight enough.

@Tweak -

Personally, I avoid plastics. While heat shouldn't be an issue and it would probably be safe, food container materials are only approved for the manufacturer's specific use, so who knows for sure? Some plastics can absorb and/or leech. MSDS for commercial food plastics is revealing, with there being restrictions on certain materials with certain foods. If you do use plastic, be sure to very thoroughly clean - bacteria can thrive in bottles. My

Does anyone know if there is any type of strong elbow piece available somewhere? I just broke my third one this morning

Yeah better safe than sorry. I was just thinking like a throwaway type bubbler, a one and done.

How are you breaking it? Are you using the original EQ tubing?

There are other 18mm adapters that can replace the elbow, but the one's I've found tend to have a bit longer ground glass connection so they sit a little bit farther down into the cyclone bowl.

 

[AdmiralAlpacha]

The first broke from falling off of a chair onto harder carpet, the second one broke while I was attempting to change the tubing, and the third one broke after falling from the top of the vape onto tile.

I am using the original tubing and I must just be clumsy

The original tubing isn't very forgiving. As mentioned in the very thread, try running the tube joint over hot water or hold it over the EQ heater with fan on, this will help a bit.

Otherwise replace the tubing with some silicone tubing. Much more flexible and easier to remove.

Sorry, I can't fix the clumsy part. I'm working on that myself unfortunately, .

Check out the silversurfer pipe adapters for your elbow solution. Mine seem to be a one piece glass on top of the adapter so there is no seam to break. Plus it looks like its thicker glass.

 

[AdmiralAlpacha]

That looks awesome, can anyone confirm it will fit correctly? Also where should I look for silicone tubing?

[AdmiralAlpacha]

Damn I don't quiet need 25' lol is there anywhere to get smaller amounts?

 

[Stu]

I recommend the 25' of tubing. Amazon also sells 10'. You'll be suprised how often you change your tubing, and it has many practical vape-related uses. It's good to have around.

Would I need to get tubing that fits the ssv then?

 

[J.R.R.Tokin']

Generally silicone is more flexible then the stock EQ tubing. I'm sure you would be able to get the EQ diameter tubing in silicon over the SSV elbow.

 

[Tweak]

No, the SSV stock tubing is slightly larger, but the EQ size tubing linked by obg will fit air-tight.

Also an alternative to the SSV wand, for slightly cheaper ($16 vs $20), Da buddha wand.

Also the Vaporfection Glass Herbal container looks interesting, for a lower profile. Though it $33

And the SSV wand:

On the EQ but with stock SSV tubing

 

[Zangano Cruel]

Got one of the rare SG's and proceeded to break it. Also got a beta SGW HT.

Sad day for sure. RIP

 

[Vessel]

The ssv tubing will make a airtight fit with the Extremes elbow, though just barely. The tubing seems to be a bit thinner and gets pretty hot after leaving it on for a bit. I would recommend the original tubing though I like the draw on the ssv whip.

MFLB silicone tubes fits tight with EQ. Tight enough that they don't go off on their own like silicon likes to do in my observation. IMO silicone tubing with the diameter of the original PVC would fail. I use it with that bubbler.

. . . IMO silicone tubing with the diameter of the original PVC would fail. I use it with that bubbler.

The silicone tubing I linked to at Amazon above is exactly the same ID/OD/Wall dimensions as the Arizer pvc, and it works perfectly in all respects. U.S. Plastics carries a Tygon that works fine, and McMaster-Carr sells similar.

As already mentioned, the SSV tubing is larger - IIRC 3/8" ID rather than 5/16" - but works due to silicone's elasticity. However, it is too loose for one of my adapters. A month or two ago a new member posted that he got 1/4" ID I think the same make as on Amazon and surprisingly it worked for him although it was snug. The stock pvc dimensions are printing on the tubing, 5/16"x7/16".

As far as 25' goes, when I bought it was a bit cheaper @foot than the 10', and I figured I would use it eventually. I really don't like cleaning a whip. For cleaning, the pvc is probably easier than the silicone. But I prefer to switch to fresh tubing before there is enough build-up worth harvesting. I also use a shortened whip (for less drag) so there is less to replace.

If dry, silicone can be like rubber and so it fits and doesn't fall out. But my silicone is egtting wet a lot (and maybe resin does this too) and then it egt very "slippery" and needs a very tight fit/small diameter or get dried before assembling.

Wet??? From what? Back-flow from your water piece? Spit?

 

[Seek]

From the bubbler or when I water-clean it. Well, but even when dry when I once used this MF silicone tube to attach a ballon it was falling out everytime in few seconds. No matter how deep I attached it.

Yea, the "falling out" was why I didn't go with the slightly larger SSV tubing. The 5/16"ID I use though is comfortably snug on the Arizer piece. With my GonG whip adapter which has a narrow stem I did need to push it on all the way, but it holds. Even so, with my bubbler now I decided to just not use the adapter but instead use a second Arizer glass elbow.

Cleaning silicone with water is a PITA. Another reason I use a shorter whip. And I only dry clean it, like with a pipe cleaner. Mostly I just replace it, because I don't get much build-up at all.

 

[TNK]

I think the surfer's whip is not designed for the Q's heat out put and the elbow heats up causing the tube to slip off. I use the small bands designed for the bags to make a secure fit around the outside of the tubing. The bands pinch the tubing enough to keep it from slipping off.

One up with Oldie, I think its easier to replace the tubing.
