Well ive had the Extreme now for more than a day and here are my thoughts:eLiguL said:Well after skimming thru multiple threads about the Extreme on this site as well as others I went ahead and made my purchase yesterday. I dealt with Debbie and she was of great help! (Thanks Debbie).
After reading as much as I could about this vape I have only one concern. The unit does seem like it takes quite a while to warm up (10-20mins). I currently own a VaporCannon (Ceramic heating element wooden box whip type) and it takes about 3-5mins to heat up which ive become accustomed too. I should have my unit by tomorrow and will report back if my opinion on that changes.
I found it humorous when people with the newer unit stated that it did not get as hot when only the censor was moved. I guess those digital displays really play tricks on the mind.
My initial concern about the heat up time has been put to rest. The Extreme heats up at about the same rate as my VaporCannon. After using it for a few days I have a few notable mentions.
1. The black coating on the cyclone bowl does help to a certain degree. I find that if the unit is on for extend time, 30mins+, the black coating doesnt mask the heat as well as you would assume.
2. There is nowhere to put the mouth piece of the whip when your not taking a hit. I didnt like the idea of the mouth piece touching anything besides my mouth. I did manage to make a "holder" of sorts with some waistband elastic type material.
3. This one ive seen mentioned by more than one person. There's no cap for the balloons. I managed to make one by cutting off a small section of the clear tubing and then sticking a piece of rubber in one end.
4. Dropping bits of the stuff because it got stuck in the mesh part of the whip. I had to get use to blowing lightly on the whip before I took it off or I would always end up dropping some outside of the bowl.
My final thoughts, I felt that the Extreme performed relatively well in all categories and the price tag of $299 is well worth the money. Also, I feel I should mention, they have AMAZING customer service.
