Some questions:
1) After some reading, it appears I have the latest version of this vaporizer. What temps do you use?
When trying to go for lighter vapor, never under 185, I usually use this for my whips. This thread is like WAY too long to read, and I have been trying for like 2 months to finish it. My memory is not so good, and lasts about 2 months, so I forget the beginning. haha.
Check my summary, also this page and the last has alot of questions I answered similar to yours. I have been using about 170 and getting 3 bags at this temp that are all very tasty. I go up 10 and the next bag is more grassy, but still tasty. Another 10 for the last one and it is very grassy and almost burned grassy. Seems to depend on quite a few things such as warm up method, bowl fullness, screen clearness, and fan speed (oddly?).
What do you do?
Well, I don't know what you mean by greasy, I never exprience that, but I guess I would prefer what you would call greasy. When I use it with bag, I go for 2 bags at 230 or 3-5 bags at 195-210, I always preheat the bowl without weed in it for at least 10 minutes (usually before I even want to smoke) then let the weed sit in the hot bowl for another 10. This preheating is essential in any vaporizer for an excellent hoot. Always bag speed for the bag, which is 3.
2) How do you clean your glass? In the old combustion days, I used carpet cleaner. You laugh. Give it a go. You won't go back. Ever. (be sure to clean it with other stuff like 1 bazillion times)
I like my glass to be clean. I think with combustion, the "dirtyness" added character and flavor. With the vaporizer it just impedes flow. No? What do you do?
Wow, I won't even go there. Just a little advice, don't use poison on your Extreme please. I wash all my glass with ISO and then save it in a jar and reuse it without salt, but you can use salt for abrasive, ISO can be bought at any drug store for cheaper then carpet cleaner, and when you save enough rez in it, you can evaporate it and make shitty oil for a fun afternoon in a dry dry time.
3) What do you do with the honey stuff that builds up on the elbow glass? Using a heat gun I dripped some onto a cigarette (Amsterdam Shag) and it tasted like... vapor. I am not actually joking.
Extra virgin honey oil that is there. Mmhm tasty stuff. I let it sit there 'till the tube is like, dark, then I put a fishing line through the tube, tie the other end to a screw, and use it to scrape it all real clean. The glass is sometimes just hoot the E without anything in it and get a rez hoot, or just save it for the ISO oil.
4) Are the temp presets like way out of sync with typical use? Or do I just use this thingy all kinds of weird?
I use them a lot. More often then the up/down when I am using a bag, but with the whip I just let it sit at 185~ 'till it goes into my AVB jar.
5) Show me pics of your most used bag (technically not a question).
I regret to inform you I do not own a Digital Camera.
