Discontinued The Extreme Vaporizer Thread Part II

[Songdude213]

So yesterday I loaded a couple pinches of marijuana into my Extreme Vaporizer at 230C and it hit for the longest time. I pulled on it for about 45 minutes and my roommate came back and I gave it to him because it was still hitting really well. He chilled on it for about an hour while we talked about how much we would sell this marijuana for if it never browned haha. We stopped because we were both good. I pulled out the vape for another friend to use the next day. It was still hitting nicely by the time she stopped too.
Any bids? haha

Hey extremevape420,

If you've already opened up your Extreme and are thinking to yourself, "This will be easy," and you have the tools, why not do it yourself? You might want to check with Steve at Arizer to see how this affects your warranty -- he replies to his emails.

I bet that if you convinced him that you know what you're doing, he'll ship you the parts.

But if you're not even sure you have the skill or tools to open up the instrument, consider letting them repair it.

hey ive already emailed arizer but i didnt talk to steve i talked to debbie, she informed me that arizer could fix it for a total price of 40$ CDN or i could fix it myself for 25$. i belive i have the skill to do so but im a little concered about how much is broken the glass cover its self shatered but something came out with it and im not quite sure what it was, i dont think it was the heating element its self but maybe something important that im unaware of. all and all i think ill give it a go if anything goes wrong maybe that would be better, giving me an exscuse to buy the new extreme-q, a little more money then i would like to spend but hey you gotta do what you gotta do thank you for your fast responce

Isn't the Extreme under a lifetime warranty for heating, and 2 years for everything else? How long have you had yours? BTW what is CDN? What is that in USD?

 

[hbuddy72]

h question like that cuz i wana buy a Q but right now seems to me that for only straight whip hits ime better off with the ssv or dbd or a vapor bro's looks nice.. any way its for quality potency of my tube hits ime in for the baloons a plus but not at all deal breaker but if the hits perfectly the same ima go extreme..??

If you want a straight whip vape than either the DBV or the SSV is good, but if you want a dual vape the Extreme is my choice. It's all about what you want, remember "There is no best vape."

 

[hbuddy72]

ya but the ssv and the extreme q are straight the same price (240$)cnd.. must be a reason for that?.. the ssv has absolutely nothing on it.. meanwhile the extreme q has everything a vape can have ..??? so must be somwhere that the ssv gives off a better whip vape.. btw ime only interested in the whip.. and the digital temp i like a lil but the bag its just an extra, giv lil care for... if the same vapor comes out the 2 machines, ssv are a robery, and ile go extreme ... but anyway, ime about the (whip vape) its what i want a good (the best whip vape) possible, is extreme q that??.. anyone can help??

 

[chishoik]

What you been doing to that wire? Dragging it across cinder blocks or something?

Be interesting to see if this kind of wear and tear is covered under warranty. I know I can't take a power sander to my Mr Coffee's power cord and expect it to be covered.

Told them about the faulty wire and they shipped me out a new power adapter the next day with some free screens! Outstanding customer service from these guys and any Canadian shoppers looking to support a clearly well run operation should definitely pick up an Extreme!

Successfully managed to vape some THC oil (Harvested from Extreme Whip) in the Extreme. Don't know why I never attempted before.
I wrapped a rolling paper (gumless) around the end of a coat hanger. Pushed it through and got a lot of that nice red oil out of it. Put all that stuff in a tiny bottle until I figure out what to do with it.
That rolling paper was wicked oily. I managed to transfer the oil onto four more papers. Five total. All them were oily enough that they were transparent. But not enough to be sticky or runny.
Balled it up put it in the elbow. Running about 210C (although I think I can run it a bit lower) and getting clouds for days.

Just picked up an Extreme yesterday (not the Q, but the .v3), and am very impressed with it. Unfortunately, I tried a Vortex Gravity bong before I started messing with the E. I'd never used a bong before, and for some reason thought that they were supposed to be as smooth as vapor (at least it wasn't from my one experience ). I loaded up 0.5 g in the bong (it was my girlfriend's purchase and she said go ahead), hit it and proceeded to cough for about 1/2 hour. But was wrecked, couchlock and all for most of the evening.

When I was able to remember the E, I started to unpack it, and immediately became confused by all the parts (and reading the manual was next to impossible). So I did what any normal person would do, which is to plug the machine in, and turn it on with the remote (I have to keep the remote in the plastic bag because I suspect the keys are latex rubber which my girlfriend is allergic to....so I'll have to remap the keys to a universal remote).

I had to have the keys read out to me because I'd misplaced my reading glasses, but then it was fun time. I was still too stoned from the Vortex to put the balloon together, so I put 0.5 g herb in the cyclone bowl (the top of which by the way is not latex rubber....yay), and attached the whip. Figured out how the temperature keys worked in increasing or decreasing your set temperature, and started preheating at 140C.

AFter preheating for about 10 minutes, I decided I was too lazy to draw so I used forced air 'one', and was amazed at the tastes (we're using Green Crack at the moment, I think) I could pick up; lemon/citrus, pine, peppermint and juniper. AFter about a minute or so, I turned the fan off and started to feel a very cerebral and clear high creep over my previous stone. GF picked up the whip, turned the fan to 'three' and started to draw. She got a large cloud of vapor, coughed and said 'wow'.

So I ended up hitting it every 20 minutes or so using forced air 'one' and increased the temperature by 10C each time. So it took me about 3 hours to go from 140>150>160>170>180>190>200>210. Aromatics were retained up until about 190C, but I think I got the best flavour at 170C, where it was piney/sagey/birch like. The high was pretty clear and heada oriented until 190/200, where it progressively became a body stone.

Went to bed at 4am, and only just now realized that this was the first day in 1 1/2 months that I have not used my Iolite.

Not much else to say other than I'm glad I bought the E, find I quite like temperature control to 'tweak' the herbs, am entranced by the flashing red light, stare at the blue light and love the timer. But the best part? And this may sound stupid because I never, ever thought that this is something I would associate with marijuana use; the remote control. Yup, that's right. GF is already talking about having it on her nightstand, snagging a forced air hit and then using the remote to turn it off and going to sleep. It's not *really* smoking in bed

A BIG thanks to all of the people who've answered my questions, emails and the contributors in this thread.

[Lo]

Enjoyed your post Tom!! Glad to hear you're enjoying that E....your girlfriend too! I hope you get the remote 'safe' for your girl to handle too

 

[Konrad_Zuse]

Good stuff Tom, I hope everything works out for you . Try different temps and such, 3 hours is crazy time haha, I guess cuz you had .5 in the vape . I usally start at like 190, 185 is about when THC vaporizes the most or something like that, Wiki talked about it, so that's where I start. I didn't really notice any vapors at 180, for myself, but I guess I only had a little in there . Or was that the kief time, idk...

 

[DeepFried]

hey tom, see if there is a way to connect the extreme to your gravity vortex. I was always interested in that combination as the vortex will give a long constant pull on the extreme.

Lets just say that it was amazing... Thank you so much for the idea!.. haha.... the constant pull of the water pulling on the whip made a huge vapor cloud inside the vortex.. and the hole was the perfect size for the e's whip

 

[wombatcat]

whoa ...sweet photo
have never tried vortex but I like my extreme hooked up to my plain homemade bong.

 

[DevoTheStrange]

not exactly a bong. But cost way less than one.
Here is my boss' set up to cool the vapor. Condenser is going to be hooked up to a pump, that will move cold salt water though the jacket. And the flask at the bottom is using a vacuum adapter hooked up to a whip, and the flask is set up like a bong. the space below the condenser is where the water bath and pump will go.

poor pic quality. will take another when it is set up properly. I call it his "Chemistry Set"

It serves a dual purpose. It cools the Vapor, and when needed, it is so we can distill the alcohol back out of golden dragon to be used to clean parts that have THC condensate on them. We don't like buying everclear that often. We are into conservation.

 

[tdavie]

@Blaze. Thank you very much for posting the picture of the Extreme set up in conjunction with the Vortex. I've got a couple of questions for you;

1) Did you let the Vortex 'drain' with your finger on or off the carb hole?
2) Did you let the Vortex just draw on the Extreme or did you use a fan speed, and if so 1,2, or 3
3) Lastly, what temperature did you have the Extreme set at?

Tom

 

[Blaze]

Tom,

1. if ya plug the hole, it stops the air flow; stopping the air flow = less downward pressure...
2. i let it draw, the suction created by the water draining is quite strong... i did use the fan on another fill tho
3. i started it at 210, then went to 230 and got some really dense fills with the valve opened all the way

this was the first time i tried it, and it was really cool... at first i tried to use the valve as a carb like i would when smoking out of it, but realized that all i need was a strong suction for the chamber to fill up, so i just opened it all the way

 

[tdavie]

Thanks Blaze for the information. I'm going to try that (and will post a youtube video) when I get back to my E on Friday night. I'll try one with just the vortex drawing, and then I'll run a second with a bit if fan assist.

Blaze-I'd love to get that much vapor in one hit, sounds nice.

Devo-I don't completely understand what that set-up is still, does it take a long time to get vapor through all that to the victim?

I'm still struggling a bit with milking up my bong via my Extreme. While I can milk the bong, it takes a lot of lung to get that first initial push of vapor into the bong, once it starts flowing it milks up quickly, by that time I've already spent most of my lung.

I'm looking into a new bong and have tried a shorter whip with possible better results. In either case Clear Dome's 'new' Extreme bowls should help solve my problem; I really like the idea of milking up glass with vapor, I'm not sure how conducive to that the Extreme is, trying to stay optimistic.

 

[l1smoker]

I've owned this vaporizer for about 7 months now and I love it. Gets me high everytime and always does the job.

I've had the fan break twice on it but it has always been replaced for free from arizer. There customer service is amazing and I have had nothing but good experiences. Even picked up a few extra parts along the way.

Though recently I have been having trouble with the temperature. I've been vaping it at 150 - 170 and getting great vapor hits. Yet when I go up to the 200's I don't get any vapor. If I pack a fresh elbow and hit it at 195 I will get vapor but later when increasing I do not get as much vapor as I do when I start at 150.

Not sure if I should just keep starting at 150 and hitting it or try something else.

Overall, if you are questioning buying the Extreme, don't. It's a great purchase and with a 2 year warranty you can purchase it without hesitation.

 

[DevoTheStrange]

Devo-I don't completely understand what that set-up is still, does it take a long time to get vapor through all that to the victim?

It is actually a lab Distilling kit minus the rising column. instead of a rising column there just a piece with a bend in it. That goes into a Graham Condenser. Which then goes to a vacuum attachment, instead of a vacuum just a silicon whip attached. Then into a beaker. Put water into the beaker so it acts like Water filter. Cold water is run through the condenser.
It takes a few extra seconds to get it started (10-15), but once it is stared it will go until the end of the bowl. I have also noticed bowls take longer to cash out, the hits are just as big. Can actually run it at higher temps to get more of a couchlock, condenser cools vapor down heavily. And the ABV still looks green/brown. Without this set up the ABV comes out considerably darker. I have tried to revape the ABV in other vapes, but there is not much left in it.
I like it, and it cost way less than alot of glass pieces out there.

can also use as a distilling rig if needed.
that is just it slapped together, the way it is set up now the condenser is vertical. Still need to get a water pump to run fluids through the jacket of the condenser.

 

[hereatlast]

OIC! Didn't get what you meant earlier about distilling your Green Dragon again, looks great.

 

[tdavie]

I just vaped a bag tonight for the first time. Even at a temperature setting of 210C, it was surprisingly smooth. GF shared the bag with me, and saved about 1/3 of the bag to use after dinner. GF commented that it was still 'good' tasting after 1 hour. Green Crack (supposedly), 0.5 g, fan speed 3. Medium density vapor that was easily visible on the exhale. GF Finally impressed with vaporization (yay). I'm not entirely comfortable with the high and would prefer something more Indica-ish; still way too high after 4 hours (1/3 bag). Driving home (safely) was easily the most stupid thing I've done in 20 years....it hit that hard. A very agitated, 'speedy' high, if that makes sense.

In retrospect, I'll definitely use less herb next time (0.2g) and only take one pull off the bag. I'll also start at a lower tmperature, and slowly ramp up to seperate the effects.

Only drawback is that I loath the 'fiddly' system for putting the bags together (thank God GF is mechanically inclined I sure as hell am not), but once done (and I bought 4 extra bags) they'll be good for a while. I would like a valve locking system like the Volcano (or Zephy?) and if some after market entrepreneur made one, I'd buy.

Overall, I'm not sure if I prefer bags or whip. And I'm still not sure if I prefer direct draw or forced air.

[illadelph]

premade bags would be nice now that you say that. its such an accomplishment once you finish making one like you just climbed a mountain. the black bands they give you are the tightest in the world. i currently use the balloon glass mouthpiece as my main mouthpiece since my other one broke. i prefer having the longer glass mouthpiece anyways.

What are some of the methods to collect hash oil from the tubing? I usually use a lighter and heat up the elbow to get the hash out of it. Heating up the rubber won't work though... Any other suggestions? There is quite a lot of hash there!

Dude you are the man!, I have been wanting to get the Vortex for a while but was never sure if the Extreme would interface with it. Glad you say it works well, I am getting one for sure now.
Thanks
