Discontinued The Extreme Vaporizer Thread Part II

[Rocket J Squirrel]

Best to email steve@arizer.com to confirm that all models are like mine.

Radio Shack, in the US, sells some universal power supplies and has plenty of adapters to help mate the supply to the vaporizer. Trick is finding someone at one of those stores who is smart enough to make sure you got everything right.

Just remember: 19 volts DC, 3500mA or greater, a plug that fits, with + on the center pin.

Good luck, man!

I was thinking the other day that the only thing that might make me use bags is that you could exhale back into them, thus avoiding lossage.

Once I heard about someone doing this and it working. I would love to hear any results you get from this...if you are going to try it.

I notice whenever I drop the temp it goes down pretty quickly, but when I turn it off I can usually get two or three more hits. The first one is more than enough to clear out anything already in the whip. It's usually at least a couple of minutes and likely more before I take the second hit, certainly longer than it takes to go from 240 to 160. Yet I can still draw some vapour, and sometimes, I can get even a third hit after another couple of minutes. So what's going on here?

There must still be heat, I guess, but then is the gauge lying when it shows an 80 degree drop in a minute or so? (I really should time that drop, but for some reason I keep forgetting to...)

There is a red light on the E that lets you know when it has reached the desired temp at the heater. When you turn down the temp, you are watching the electronic components adjust for the new temp. But the element still needs to get warmed up or cooled down thereafter. So when you turn the heat up, the display gets their rather quickly, while the red light stays on letting you know that the element is still heating up to that temp. When you turn it down, the display drops quickly, but the heat is not yet completely dissipated, thus your extra hits.

When I preheat my unit, I do it at 220. I let it heat up, then back it down to 190 just before i go to hit it. The first hit I get is most likely a little higher than 190, but my draw cools the element down enough to probably get my second hit down to 190. Hope this helps a little.

Trying to help someone.

They went on vacation and left their extreme power adapter at home. Exactly what do they need to get a replacement adapter on the quick from say some place like radio shack or the like.

I cannot find a replacement power adapter in any of their replacement part listings. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[manchild]

The details on the back of my power adapter are as follows

MODEL: CP1940
INPUT: 100-240V~ ,50/60Hz, 1.8A
OUTPUT: 19V-- 4A

The brand is
CD Coming Data (i think)

Not sure if that helps Beez but it's something

 

[Beezleb]

Many thanks Manchild.

This next vape, which is currently being readied is in your honor!

I used to do it on occasion using balloons and a vaporgenie, and you know i think it did have an work. More so of course if youre billowing out great clouds of the stuff.


This LED were talking about, is that the one directly above the increase temperature button? On mine that light has never come on, i cant be taking it close enough to the limit


As awful as it is, im very tempted to take on an extreme waterfall bong. This will bring back bad memories but i think ill most likely try it. It will however test if the extreme can milk a 2 litre bong, bet it can

Not sure, my E is at my brother's house at the moment.

 

[Rocket J Squirrel]

On my Extreme, the lamp comes on when the element is being heated (power applied). When it reaches the setpoint, the lamp cycles on and off as the controller applies power to keep the temperature at the thermal sensor at the set temp. If I lower the setpoint, using the front panel up/down buttons or the remote, the lamp goes dark because power has been remove from the element until it cools to the target temp, then the lamp starts flickering again along with the power to the element. If the lamp on your Extreme never comes on, but the unit vaporizes anyway, then it's a failed lamp or connection to the lamp.

I was just told that this info really helped save the day. Many thanks Manchild!

Cool no worries Beezzleb.
I could just imagine getting to your holiday destination, opening your bag to set up for your first vape and bam no pwer cord. The poor devil. Particularly when it's for medicinal purposes.
Glad i could be of help!

How do you guys manage your whip bowls? Mine needs cleaning every 3 sessions. I just put mine in alcohol, roll a bounty to a point and then clean the bowl. Its easy to clean to perfection, but needs to be done all the time.

Do you inhale hard enough for the herb to fly up into the whip bowl or does your herb remain on the bottom of the big (not whip) bowl/chamber?

 

[bigchucka]

To MonarchX:

Are you talking about the large bowl you place on the machine, or the small elbow that attaches to your whip/ bag? The large one I dump into a container and save for making butter, wipe it with my pinky to get out the remaining "dust" and pack it up. Now the elbow with the little screen in it... yeah mine gets clogged all the time. I just use my pokey tool to carefully knock the stuff back into the bowl, then I stir the bowl and get on about my business. But yeah, I'd say about every three bowls or so I take that screen out and use a couple alcohol gauze pads that they sell in drug stores for people who have to take shots. A couple of those and your pokey tool gets them cleaned right out. Now for the rest of the glass, which I think you're cleaning too.... uh, you may want to reconsider. You're destroying vape honey if you are. Let that go till you can't see through your glass elbows. Scrape it and vape it for one hell of a buzz. A strong string/ fishing line/ whatever you can come up with, a nail, and a lot of patience will get the honey out of your whip.

 

[manchild]

I think you're talking about the elbow bowl right? I really only ever pack the elbow bowl these days so yes the herb is definitlely in contact with it! You have a similar cleaning method to mine but i don't need to clean mine any where near as often as you describe. Mine stays squeeky clean for many vape sessions.

I think the key is to try and empty the elbow bowl while the herb is still hot. If you aren't completely vaping a bowl all at once it might be a bit hard. I have heard that some people give a little puff/blow to push the herb back into the cyclone bowl. It seems to be as the herb cools down that all the goo accumulates on the screen.

 

[Persona Non Grata]

ya the elbow pack method keeps the screen spotless. it seems with the EPM the vapor just rises up through the screen and doesn't have time to condense on it.

when I pack the cyclone bowl. each time a few small particles get stuck up in the screen and thc glues them in. builds up pretty fast. pain in the ass to clean

I love doing my research here, you guys are hilarious; I get many belly laughs from this thread. Thank you!

Personally I just let that part build up, the area behind the screen inside the elbow. I harvest that stuff and revape it later.

Just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. This thread made my decision to purchase an extreme very easy. I have had it for about 3 days now and LOVE it. Best weed investment i ever made.

Should work, but don't you think inhaling the same CO2 again and agin is not so healthy ? Might give u a kind of buzz thow.

I tried that method, but inhaling becomes difficult and more forceful when you pack the herb so tightly. Cleaning the cyclone bowl is so easy and it doesn't need much cleaning because the herb doesn't clog it up. The elbow screen though gets plugged up and required cleaning to increase air flow.

Thanks for the advice though!

 

[Persona Non Grata]

I use the fan on speed 1 to help out when inhaling. and you dont have to pack it as tight as you may think

I gave up caring about my health a long time ago personally, its not really the healthiest option no. I prefer to exhale the excess over my remaining stash

Someone was asking why the felt weird when taking a big vapour hit and holding it but not when they did it with air, im guessing the reason is slight oxygen deprivation nothing like enough to worry about mind. and maybe, just maybe youre getting a little but high, magical

This is the same with mine. It could be different by version of the model extreme one might have. and to the electrician, i think health conscienciousness was what brought me here in the first place.

I couldnt understand why co2 is unhealthy. It is required for life by us all. Maybe your thinking of carbon monoxide? Or do you just mean that rebreathing someone elses air (or your own stored) might be unhygenic? (But nothing to do with the co2).

If you made someone rapidly breathe into a paper bag for some time, they may feel a little light headed, possibly slightly hypopoxic. With a lot of effort on their part and a bit of time they might eventually pass out. But it's not going to happen by accident.

Rocket :Thats an effect that they are really not going to be able to recreate doing this.

 

[Rocket J Squirrel]

Elevated CO2 in what you breathe can cause health problems. See, for example, http://thelances.org/hr3/CO2paper.html.

But for the few moments that you're rebreathing a bag of old air, it should not be a problem. Just don't climb in the bag and plug the hole behind you.
