The Extreme-Q is a dual purpose vaporizer, meaning it can be used with a whip (a long tube) or with a big bag (balloon style).
The main things I like about this device are that it looks cool, it has a remote control, and it has a lot of functions. A couple of things that bug me a tiny bit are the glass parts that get hot when you’re vaping, cus I almost burned myself once, and that you need to stir around the herbs a few times to ensure it’s getting evenly vaped. Not a huge deal just a minor annoyance.
The other thing that bugs me a little bit is having to keep your finger on the end of the mouthpiece to keep the vapor from coming out. I guess I might be spoiled from the Volcano, which has built-in valves in each balloon that automatically keep them sealed, but I’m sure if you vape often you’ll get a little annoyed at that too. This requirement is not specific to the Extreme-Q though, most whip style vaporizers work the same way.
Overall this is a pretty cool vape and lots of people love it. If you’re mainly looking for a good balloon-style vaporizer I still think the Volcano is worth the extra cost. The V is really in a league of it’s own, but for half the price the Extreme-Q does the job pretty well.

Video transcription:
I have a couple of tips for you if you’re just using one of these for the first time. The first thing is that when you first get this and you take it out of the box and you set it up, before you even think about vaping out of it, you want to turn it on, turn the heat up nice and high and let it just sit there for about maybe 15 to 30 minutes just to let any residue, like from any oils or chemicals used during the manufacturing process to burn off so that you don’t inhale any of that crap.
So, you can take your handy remote here. Hit the power button, then you can hit the 200 button on the remote and what that’s going to do is set the unit at 392 degrees Fahrenheit. That leads me to my next tip. If you take the time to read through the manual they give you, you’ll notice that there’s a section that talks about the core temperature of the heating element being slightly higher than the actual vaporization temperature up here where the herbs get vaped.
That’s an important thing to keep in mind because when you’re trying to figure out what the best temp is for you to vape at, you need to take that into consideration. I’ve been using mine set at 392 on the unit, so 392 is the temperature of the core heating element and when I put the top piece on here where the herbs go, I’m assuming the temperature to be about 20-30 degrees lower up here.
Unfortunately, they don’t tell you exactly in the manual what the temperature difference is, I’m just taking an educated guess, but 392 seems to work pretty good. The first thing you might notice when you turn it on and set your heat is that it gets up to the temperature you set pretty fast. For instance, when I turn mine on and I set it at 392, the screen is telling me that it got to that temp in about 20 seconds.
Just keep in mind that it’s a little deceiving because what I noticed is that even though it says it reached the temperature if you just put this piece on and put some herbs in and, for instance, take your whip and put it in and try to start taking hits, 20 seconds after turning it on you might not get really good hits or you might not get anything at all.
Myself, I found that once it reached the temperature I set, if I put the top piece on with the herbs and I put the whip on and then I let it sit here for about another minute or two before I start vaping, that’s when everything really seems to be at the proper temperature. Just keep that in mind when you’re setting yours up if you get it, to set your temperature, set up your top piece with your herbs and then just let it sit for an extra minute or two to warm up and it will perform much better for you.
So when you’re using this as a whip style vape, once it’s warmed up and you have your herbs in the chamber and it’s ready to go, you can just hit it like this, nice and slow, and in between hits you might just want to take a look at the end of the mouthpiece here to see if any vape is coming out. You might want to keep your finger over it when you’re not actively hitting it just to make sure nothing escapes or anything.
If you feel like you’re not getting enough this way you could take your remote, and you could actually turn your fan on low and then start inhaling it with the fan helping to blow the air through. So, just experiment on your own and figure out which way works better for you, with or without the fan on.
Just another quick tip to keep in mind about this vape. It has glass pieces up here at the top, so just be careful that you don’t accidentally grab these when the vape is on because they do tend to get a little hot. So, you’ll notice that included with this vape is a glass stirring tool.
What you’ll want to do with this is during a session you’ll want to pull off whatever top piece you’re using here and just mix around your herbs a little bit, and this just helps ensure that it all gets evenly vaped and then you can put your piece right back on and start hitting it again.
Now, if you want to use this vape with a balloon you can do that, too. What you would do is instead of putting the whip on, you would put on this little piece they give you instead, which is basically the same top piece as the whip, but just a short piece of a tube instead of a long piece.
Then, you’ll take the balloon they give you with the mouthpiece already attached here and in case you’re wondering what this is, this does not come with the vape, this is my TV remote and I forgot to take it off my table. So, you would grab the mouthpiece of the balloon and you would fit it inside the tube here.
The next thing you would do is you would take your remote and turn your fan on high or Level 3. Now, to completely fill the balloon with Extreme-Q it’s going to take about 90 seconds, so I’m going to turn the fan on and then I’m going to fast forward a few times just to shorten it up.
All right. So, you’ll need some extra space on the side of the unit so that you can lay your bag out like this. It’s about a quarter full now. Now, it’s about half full. This is about three-quarters full and this is what it looks like when it’s full. So, you shut off your fan now.
Then, you’ll grab your bag and you pull it out of the tube here and you just put your finger on the end so no vapor escapes. Then that’s it. You can just start hitting it. Just remember to keep your finger on in between hits because this bag doesn’t have a valve or anything to stop the vapor from coming out.
As far as cleaning this vape, it’s fairly easy to do. You’ll notice right away what the problem areas might be or the areas where buildup will occur. These top pieces here, the one for the bag or the whip, they might accumulate some buildup inside these glass pieces that you might want to flush out every few weeks with some rubbing alcohol.
Then, they also have a little screen at the end here that’s removable. You can pop the screen out and then you can also clean this with rubbing alcohol. The top piece here that holds the herbs you can clean that pretty simply by just throwing it in a Ziploc with some rubbing alcohol and just remember to shut the power off on the vape first and wait a few minutes before you try pulling this off because it gets a little hot.
Also, if you’re curious about the remote, you can do basically everything you need to do on here. You can turn the unit on and off. You can turn the blue LED light around the bottom on and off. You can turn the sound on and off. It has the three fan settings like I showed you before, and then it has six temperature presets on here and also a plus and minus button to fine tune the temperature.
Then, it has a couple of buttons to set the timer on the unit. So overall, it’s a pretty cool vape and also if you want to see a comparison of the Extreme-Q with the Volcano, just so you’ve got a good idea of what the differences are, I have a video for that, too.
So as always guys, thanks for watching and I’ll see you later.
I have another tip for you guys and it has to do with where you place your herbs, check out the second video I embedded above about Elbow Packing
if you are trying to decide between this and the volcano, just remember: you get what you pay for. If you had experience with a volcano and step to this to save some cash, you WILL be disappointed. LOTS of annoying things about this unit: the glass parts get so hot they will burn your fingertips off. Want to load a new bowl? better wait 10 minutes for the parts to cool off before you can. Remote is a total gimmick to make up for the fact that the units actual controls are junky and limited, u have to use one button to constantly cycle through a menu to adjust fan settings. super irritating.
Takes a VERY VERY long time to fill up a bag with vapor. 5 minutes at least, tho their reps claim it takes only 2.5 minutes, which still feels like a frikkin eternity when u are used to a volcano doing it in 15 seconds. Fan is just so weak and junky. This unit isnt really a dual unit because you will only end up using the wand.
DO NOT RECOMMEND
you must have really fair skin cause i have not met anyone even girls that cant pick up the glass parts even seconds after it was used. the bottom glass part of the bowl gets very hot but thats why theres rubber around the top so i really cant see why anyone would have a problem picking it up
Same here, no problems at all with the glass bowl, just pick it up carefully with fingers at top near rubber,
I have had this unit for three years now and no problems! Totally love it, and getting the portable Arizer soon.
would u recommend this one or the portable one for a first vape
Both would make good first vapes, it just depends on how bad you need portability. You’ll get stronger vapor with the EQ.
as long as the screens are clean it doesn’t take any more than a couple minutes to fill a bag, and as long as you grab the thermal coating like ^ said, there arent many problems.
Have you experimented with different temps? I just got mine and am curious as to whether the reviews I have read that say different temps give different effects is true or not. What is your recommendation on temperature settings? Thanks for the great videos, they have been invaluable!
Hey Joe,
Yes, I have done testing with different temps and I actually created a whole video about it with some cool magnified herb pictures in it.
You can check that out here: http://www.vapecritic.com/vaporizers/temperatures/
But to answer your question, yes, it is true that different temperatures can provide different flavors and effects. It’s not really THAT much of a difference though, just keep in mind that its subtle.
I found that for the Extreme-Q the best temp settings are 383°F and 392°F. In my temp video I explain why I set this vape higher than others.
I’m glad you found my vids helpful and thanks for stoppin by!
I’ve just purchased the Extreme Q and watched your video which proved to be an invaluable tool for me..I cannot compare it to the Volcano because I’ve never used one or any other vaporizer..this was my first time…I found it worked amazingly well..I was alone so I didn’t find the waiting time long or annoying at all..I got superbbaked and it was very clean feeling as opposed to smoking.. thank you for your videos..extremely informative and helpful..
Hey thanks for posting and I’m glad you’re enjoying the vape!
Hey Bud, I was just wondering how the Extreme Q ‘whip style’ compares with the Plenty?
Hey sup, check out my EQ vs Plenty comparison video, I talk about how they compare and explain the differences.
Just a quick thank you to the newbie above. Your comments on being a new vaper has convinced me to cross over also. All the reviews, videos and info are Gr8t !!!! Thx to All involved !!!!!!!
Great review, How hard would it be to fashion a volcano balloon to the q? I have never used a volcano before but I have seen the valve style bags and really like the idea. Would it be possible to perhaps push down the valve and shove the q’s elbow tube into it?
Thanx – I’ve tried a few times but there’s no good way to use the Volcano balloons with the EQ… the tube from the EQ will fit inside the valve but it’s not a perfect seal and vapor escapes when you’re filling it up, which wastes vapor and also prevents the balloon from getting more than about half full.
The Volcano is better at vaporizing the herbs also so the vapor quality is higher, and it also does it faster.
Hey Bud. I’ve had my Extreme Q for about a month now and it’s just great. Even more so now after the tips you gave me on how to get the best use out of my whip. It helped me alot thanks. A new problem with the balloon is emerging. The inside walls of the balloon are becoming sticky, and they are sticking together, so as the bag fills, it now requires alot of preening and pulling apart the inner walls as it is filling to get it to fill fully. I imagine the stickiness will get worse as more vapor condenses on the inner walls. Is this a common problem? Is there a remedy for this? Anything you can do to help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Sup Johnny,
Thanks for the email, and I’m really glad you found my tips helpful.
The problem you’re describing with the Extreme-Q balloons is very common, and I experience the same thing myself. I probably should have talked more about it in my video, but this issue is another example of how the EQ differs from a vape like the Volcano.
Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s much that can be done about it. There’s really no way to avoid the build-up that happens inside the bag, and there’s really way to clean it out either.
It’s something you may just have to deal with, as much of a bummer as it is, and just buy new bags every so often. Even with the Volcano, the bags are higher quality and last longer, but eventually they also need to be replaced.
I too found that the EQ bags had a fairly short life, so when I was still using it regularly I ended up using it whip-style most of the time.
The only thing I’ve found that helps extend the life a little bit is to vape the entire balloon as quickly as possible, so that vapor is left in there to condense for a minimal amount of time.
Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you!
Stay up!
-Bud
hey man the best way to fix this is to take it apart (very easy) clean the bag a little and then when you put it back together (also very easy) out it on the second bubble now this is going to make the glass part a bit short… sooo now you have a few good potions use a little chunk of whip to attach a spare mouth piece or cut a longer piece of whip and just use stick that on it
PROS: looks and feels better, fixes clogging issue
CONS: may need to buy more tubing ($3.99)
ya, there’s really no remedy. All i can say is do NOT blow or breath INTO the bag. Your breath is full of moisture and just condensates on the insides of the bag.
Hey Bud, the vape i’d really like to get would be any by storz&bikel but as im on a tight budget im thinking of getting an Extreme-Q, i got a couple of questions though. I watched that video where you show the usb microscope’s pics and i noticed that the herbs vaped in the extreme-q looked black on the tip as if they had been burned. i know im asking too much with this question but do u know if thats a little combustion goin on? and if you are using the vape whip-style, does the whip get a bit dirty over time? and if so how should i clean it.
thanks for all the reviews bro!
Sup Raf,
There’s no combustion with the EQ, the magnified pics just make it a look a little like that. When you pack in the elbow the heat gets concentrated to a small area so it vapes the herbs a little more intensely.
And yes, the whip does get dirty and it builds up residue, to clean it you can try soapy warm water or some rubbing alcohol. You’ll have to get in there with somethin to scrub it if u want it to look really clean again.
Stay up!
Thanks for the quick reply man, can’t wait to get my hands on a good vape and vape my way to heaven, just kidding , but yeah can’t wait
Just add some salt to the rubbing alcohol and shake. The salt will provide all the scrubbing action you need.
I’m looking at buying the Extreme Q from an online site, I am worried about the warranty though. Do you know if the warranty is valid if I buy it for less than the company site sells it for?
Hey Jonathan,
Good question.
Generally the way it works is all fully authorized dealers of vaporizers have to charge a certain price for each vape to maintain their authorized status (referred to as MAP). In addition, you normally need to have purchased your vape from an authorized reseller for your warranty to be valid.
Although you may find some models being offered below the regulated price the safest way to buy this kind of stuff online is through an authorized dealer (like the one I link to).
I would be wary of sellers who claim to be authorized but sell products below the minimum price set by the manufacturer. It may be possible that if something goes wrong with your unit they will help you out, but overall it’s just a little riskier.
The MAP for the Extreme-Q is currently $239, so if you do buy it for less just keep in mind you’re taking a little bit of a risk, so it’s just a matter of peace-of-mind.
Hope this helps
Stay up!
-Bud
Hey what’s up?
Great review. I have a 2010 unit myself and can agree with most of your review … I have this question for you though: with the 2012 model out, I’ve been wondering if I should upgrade. My greatest desire to upgrade concerns vapor quality … So I ask, does the new vape produce superior vapor compared to the 2010 version, at the same temperature?
Thanks
Sup Mack,
I would say that the difference in vapor quality between the two versions is negligible. If you’re looking to upgrade and want superior vapor strength and quality I would recommend you look at a vape like the Plenty, which is one of my personal favorites for just this reason.
I think the Extreme-Q is decent, especially as a first vape, but in your situation where you’ve already owned one for some time I think you’ll be more impressed with a unit made by a better brand.
If you have any other questions about this vape or other ones let me know!
Stay up!
-Bud
Hey thanks for the videos they really helped me make my decision to get an extreme q. I’ve had mine for about 5 days now and have been using heavily. Im starting to notice the bag is taking a lot longer to fillip. I’ve already ran the cyclone bowl and elbow through alcohol and still nothing. Could it be the screen where the bowl sits on? If so how should I clean that?
Hey Charles,
Glad you found the vids helpful!
I’ve never actually cleaned that specific screen myself, as far as I know you shouldn’t need to…
Do me a favor, next time you fill a balloon set the fan on high (speed 3) and time how long it takes. When I did my testing it took about 90 seconds to fill the bag like this, let me know how long yours takes.
I actually went ahead and took off the screen from the neck where the cyclone bowl sits on. Don’t ever take it off. It took me a good 10 minutes to put it back on its a nightmare. I actually ran more alcohol and soaked the screens separately and scraping off residue and it seems to work great so thanks for the quick response. It seems to be back to normal now. I didn’t realize how much i overuse the device compared to most owners haha.
Haha snap!
Cool I’m glad you got it straightened out
Hey can we vape wax? Just picked up a 40$ gram and was curious
@Charles:
This one was designed for use with dried botanicals only so I’d be very cautious if trying anything else in there, and I’d say it’s safer to avoid it.
I have been an Arizer user for over 5 years, using the traditional model. This spring I decided to upgrade to the Extreme Q, that was a big mistake. The temperature variability is such that this new model wastes herb and can actually overheat the whip when you raise the temperature high enough to compensate for the temperature at the low end of the variability range.
I have a chain of emails to their service tech that is literally over 25 emails long going right back to the spring. I even sent them a video showing the temperature suddenly drop from a false reading of 223c to the real temperature of 210c when the up or down arrow is pressed. If you already own this model, try it, you will likely experience the same thing to a greater or lesser extent. Their service representative has been less than helpful, to the point of being disingenuous. He refuses to accept that this is a problem. This serious problem makes the vaporizer far less usable and more wasteful than the older model which thankfully I still have.
hello,
hey ive used a few vapes and i recently decided to get the Q becuase it only 200 hbucks and feels like the best bang sort of speak but i actually found this little trick by accident i wont bore you with the long story but…
in short that little glass hole in the cyclone bowl if you shave it down to just enough to hold the screen in it seems to dramatically increase the efficiency of they cyclone bowl it vapes faster more evenly no stirring is needed and i can get stronger draws… but im a low temp kinda guy so that part was just icing for me
ohh and it seems to have little to no effect on the elbow pack technique so ya i thought you might wana give it a try but you have to be careful the screen obv still needs to stay sturdy
sorry for the long unorganized thoughts i just had a sesh lol
Sup man,
Thanks for the tip, I always wondered why they didn’t make that hole larger to begin with, it seems very restrictive.
What method did you use to shave down the glass?
actually wasn’t so much a method as me breaking it and then just smoothing the glass down with a knife sharpener like it was actualy an accident maybe see if you can contact someone who speaks glass work : / i really wish i had a better answer if you figure something out plz post
hey man i broke a bowl for my Q … but that did give me a chance to experiment with that little glass ring..
I have to tell you i was VERY surprised i broke all the glass off the sides there is now only a very tiny amount of glass that i cant even cut my finger on around the inside of the bowl and the screen still holds very firmly in place!
in short that ring is not only pointless but is one of the main inefficiencys of the unit
Nice man!
Breaking the glass ring on the cyclone bowl works! my bf read the comment and having 3 bowls atm tried it, we ended up doing it to all of them it worked so well!
under-shirt-method
put the whip under your shirt and put the collar above your nose.
the vape will accumulate under your shirt and you will not waste anything … until the vape is so dense you can not breathe anymore
hey man would you rate the Q higher if it had a better taste? because honestly I think it does well in every other aspect I have been using the Plenty lately because my friend wanted to get a good bead on the Q so we traded for a bit.
The coulds from the Plenty are about the same as the Q if you grind your herbs fine but i did notice that the Plent can vape anything! (damp clumpy herb)
they both bong about the same if you use direct draw with the Q instead of the whip but again plenty has an amazing taste and the Q needs to be cleaned a little more
overall Plenty wins I think but I do love the variety i get from the Q
I’d rate the EQ higher if it was overall a better vape.
The versatility of it is cool, but in my opinion it’s a mediocre version of a whip vape and a bag vape, it’s not really that great in either area.
I think it gets dirty too fast, doesn’t feel as high quality as the better models, and only works really well when you elbow-pack (small amounts at a time).
The fact that it’s cheap was also a factor, cus if it was any more expensive the rating would be lower.
I agree its a cheaper whip vape but you can get way thicker bags from the Q than the volcano and its not nearly as loud (Not a Volcano fan at all) and surprisingly the Extreme Q does a better job at bonging than any other vape ive used and the bong is imo is the best way to vape anyway
I agree that the Q is a cheap vape but as with the MFLB thats why its great you can pick it up for under $200 and does the job of multiple more expensive vapes and that’s why I think its over all the best product on the market (no not the best vape but product) bags get boring fast so can the whip and even the bong so its nice to be able to do it all with 1 product would you buy 3 microwaves or the one with multiple options?
just saying you have all the vapes so for you its going to seem like less of an issue but not everyone wants to buy a Volcano, Plenty, and Cloud for over $1500 just to get a slightly better quality for the same functions as a $200 product
Sorry man I don’t agree, I don’t think the EQ does anything better than a vape like the Volcano, nor do I think it is anywhere near the best product on the market.
The fact that it can do both whip & bag mode is nice, though neither mode is very impressive, but I think the rating I gave it is actually pretty generous.
Hi man!
I can say that I’m an experienced herb smoker, more than 10 years with joints, [water-pipes], pipes but I’m totally new to vapes, so new that I don’t even tried it yet.. But I can wait to have my first time!
But as I live in Brazil and the taxes to import this vape are very high, it would require a lot of money to get one. So I’m doing a lot of research to see if its really a good buy! Please tell me, does it really gets you high? I read in some foruns that it gets you less ‘vegetable’ and you feel more active but does it gets you laughing, relaxed and hungry the way a good joint would do? thanks in advance!
Hey sup,
Generally I’ve found that once you get used to vaporizing the effects are extremely similar to most other methods.
At first it might feel a little different, but after a while it feels just like anything else.
I just bought an Extreme Q vaporizer and on the bottom of the extreme Q base (BLACK) IS A COPYRIGHT 2007. N 220-00759. iT LOOKS BRAND NEW BUT I AM WONDERING IF I GOT AN OLDER MODEL. HOW CAN I TELL IF I GOT THE NEWER MODEL OR IF IT IS THE OLD ONE? HAVEN’T USED IT YET UNTIL I FIND OUT OUT IF I GOT THE RIGHT ONE. CAN YOU HELP ME? tHANKS
If the outer shell is almost black it should be the newer model.
I have the older model and it’s more of a silver color on the outside.
What is the difference between the 4.0 version and the new version, 5.0 ??
Hey I haven’t tried one of the newer models yet but supposedly the fan is a little quieter and some of the internal components were upgraded. I’m not sure how much of a difference it makes in regards to performance, but I’d imagine it’s minor.
hey guys! wow, just found this site, it is incredible. All kinds of good stuff.
Anyway, I JUST got my new Q in after I screwed my old one up after experimenting with the potpourri bowl without reading the manual. Anyway, I think the only thing I noticed for sure was that now you fine tune the temp even more- down to the degree. And also the exterior cone was black not silver. I like to think the fan is a little quieter and maybe more efficient, but that might be trying to justify buying the new one after not having my old one for very long.
Hey Matthew, thanks for posting!
as far as i know, the difference is not in the vaporizer itself, it’s in the accessories. you’ll get what they call a GLASS TUFF BOWL. the bowl is now covered with a material, that shall prevent it from breaking. there’s no update in the vaporizer and if you can get the 4.0 at a reduced price, the GLASS TUFF BOWL is $14.99.
can you compare the EQ to the SSV? for whip hits?
I personally only liked using the whip with the EQ in conjunction with the fan, meaning each time I took a draw I would turn the fan on low to help it produce more vapor.
Overall, in straight whip-mode, I consider the SSV a better vape. I think it works better at evenly heating all your material, it tastes a little better, and it’s made from more durable materials.
What’s Up Bud,
I’m completely new to vaping, and I have never tried it. I am torn between the HotBox and The ExtremeQ. I noticed you gave the HotBox 80/100 and the Extreme Q an 85/100. That’s not much a difference, especially considering the HotBox is $100 cheaper, and a lot more user friendly for a newb. What would you recommend?
Hey what’s up,
You know what for newbies I think the Hot Box might actually be the better choice, it’s definitely less complicated and produces similar results.
A friend gave me the EQ. I know this is going to sound stupid. What do you do with the herb between vaping. I use it at noon and then use again later that afternoon. Do you leave it in the EQ or put in something else til ready to vape again and then put back on the heat? Again I know this is prbably a stupid question but i am old school and this is new school for me. Thanks
Doesn’t sound stupid! You can do anything you like with it, I usually just leave it in the chamber, but you do have to make sure it’s no longer being heated to avoid wasting any.
So for example you could set the glass chamber piece (with your material in it) to the side for a few minutes while the unit cools down, and then you can put it right back on and get it ready for your next session, just don’t turn on the heat again until you’re ready to vape.
If I just confused you let me know
units are ok but i’ve had several of them fail within warranty so you get what you pay for. cheap vaporizer, cheap product. my most recent one that failed i decided to try to get it replaced under warranty instead of going ahead and purchasing another like i’ve done in the past and the manufacturer would not replace it unless i paid them money!!! their warranty is a lie, don’t believe it. arizer warranty is false reassurance for buying a sub-par vaporizer.
Thanks for sharing your experience with this vape, I’m very sorry to hear it wasn’t a good one.
I’m looking at a couple of options for a table-top vape and was hoping you could answer a few of my questions. The DBV, SSV, and the Extreme-Q are the vapes I’m looking at, and wanted your thoughts on how they compare.
First, is there any noticeable difference between the DBV and SSV past the slant of the SSV? If that’s the only difference, it’d be an easy fix to attach something to the base for a permanent slant.
Moving onto the Extreme Q, you had said that elbow hits greatly improve the EQ, but does it bring it up to the same level as the DBV/SSV? Speaking of elbow hits, have you ever filled the elbow joint and the cyclone bowl? This won’t weigh in on my decision, but I’ve been curious about it.
That’s all I have on my mind right now, and thanks for all of the great reviews and videos you put out.
Happy vaping!
Yes aside from it being angled the SSV also holds your material a little farther away from the heating element, which helps prevent overheating.
When using my DBV the material overheated a couple of times and gave me a funky taste, because I left the wand attached to the heater cover too long without drawing.
DBV does the job SSV does it a little better, without needing modification.
Packing in the elbow is really the only way I like using the EQ, and it works well. Overall I rate the SSV a tiny bit higher will all aspects of ownership considered, but if you elbow pack vapor production is roughly equal.
I have not tried packing both the elbow and the cyclone bowl at the same time.
Stay up!
speaking of the EQ and elbow pack, do you have a preferred temp and fan speed for elbow packs?
I usually vape it at 392°F and I turn the fan on low speed
I had my Extreme Q for 360 days. Loved it, vaping changed my life. On the 361 day, it turned itself off 4 times, then it was dead. Nothing. No power to the unit at all. It’s now a door stop unless I can find someone in the USA to repair it. I will not send it to Canada. Do you know anywhere in the US where I can get it repaired?
Great video and review on your part. Based on your review I decided to purchase the Extreme-Q and am very satisfied with my decision. I really like how easy it is to set up and use. I find the remote very handy as well. I have reduced my insomnia “tobacco” usage by 2/3 by using this vaporizer vs. smoking. The unit will pay for itself in just two months for me.
I also received excellent customer service from the manufacturer. When I opened the box one of the glass pieces was broken. I contacted them and they sent a replacement glass piece the next day.
I recommend the Arizer Extreme-Q to anyone considering purchasing a vaporizer.
Hey Bud! Thanks for all your informative posts they have really helped me make a decision on which vape is best for me. Question about the extreme q: is the fan very loud?
Hey no doubt!
It’s not very loud but it is kinda high-pitched, so thankfully it doesn’t need to stay on for long otherwise it could get annoying.
