Vaporizing recommendations?

I got a PAX Ploom about a month ago. It works pretty well, and it is very stealth. This is my first vaporizer.

I'm smoking a strain right now that tastes like a sweet citrus limeade with a cane sugar smooth Exhale...

I wanted the Arizer Solo but I found this one for 229. The Solo will be my next one probably.

This is our first vape, too. If we get another portable it'll probably be a solo since I've read so many great reviews. But I'm also thinking we should go for a home plug-in one since we've got the nice portable. We're still getting to know this one so it'll be awhile before we figure out what we like or don't.

I've only cleaned it once and haven't had any problems. I am planning on cleaning it today, though. The battery just died on me so I'll probably go after it soon.

Regarding a tabletop unit, I just got an Arizer ExtremeQ.. I love it.. gotten into the habit of coming home from work and putting 1/4 tsp of weed into the bowl and inflating a bag.. I take as many draws off the bag I can until the bag is empty.. then I marvel at how high I am from a 1/4 tsp dose.. You can get them on eBay with no warranty issues for about 150 delivered.. I love the thing.. use the solo on the road and this at home.. they both rock..

mgk :whee:

I recommend the vp100, aka the cheapo chinese ebay knockoff vape...for 29 bucks including shipping how can you go wrong? Have one for over three yrs with no probs, the thing lights up everytime and hits like a mule...whats not to like, and if it breaks who cares??

I have the same one and I love inflating a bag before bedtime and watch some funny stuff and drift off to sleep.

Peace

My pick too, with a bent stem no less! :D Maybe a MFLB for a 2nd portable vape. There's more good vapes out there, still got to try that Sublimator too...

I have a question or 2 for those of you who own an Extreme Q or the V Tower.How many of you actually use the bag option?I suppose that maybe how often you have people over and find it convenient to do a bag,but when you are home alone...do you use it much?

The difference between the Extreme Q and the V Tower is the ability to use bags.Maybe it's personal preference about the bag option,but I just don't know if I would even use them.The diff in price is $30+ for the bag option.

How long does a screen last under daily use?

Anyone experience bowl and elbow breakage under normal use?(not that normal use is to break stuff ;) )

I would appreciate any further insight that anyone would care to share.

I have an extreme. I used it regularly when I first got it.. tried the bag a few times.. it was a nice novelty.. I do know this.. one bag, by myself, i'm wrecked.. I also have a Solo and find myself using it as my main (only) vape.. I bet it's been a couple months since I even loaded the extreme. I have had no problems with it.. it works.. (I think the solo works better).. I wouldn't miss it if I got rid of it.. Not a real stellar review eh.. lol.. just callin it the way i see it.. ymmv..

mgk :tiphat:

Thanks Maynard.

Having the Solo is why you don't use the Extreme?It's not necessarily any inherent flaws with the Extreme?If you didn't have the Solo,then the Q would be your daily driver? I don't go that much these days,so portability isn't an issue (for the most part).

Thanks for the insight on the bags as well.Still,someone who had never tried one wouldn't miss it anyway maybe.


Still would like info on how long a screen will last (approx) for those of you who use the Q every day...and how delicate the glass parts actually are...as long as you aren't using it to play fetch with the family dog of course.
 
I've had my glass and screen parts since I bought the q 2 years ago. Just drop it in a little container of iso and it's good. Mine stays on for weeks at a time too. It's solid stuff. Solid enough that i got a solo for road trips and hiking.

hey Slim, can get an EQ for pretty cheap these days, unless you can get a vtower a whole lot cheaper... bags are a nice option, good for when friends come over that are too dumb to use the whip

IMO the EQ elbow pack in the whip is a lot better for heavy home use than the solo. solo is pretty good though, and portable

the elbow screens will last years if you take care of them. I have 6 or 7 of them that I rotate through, swap them before they get too dirty. then when they all are dirty, shake them in iso, will be like new

the glass elbow pieces are semi-fragile, I've broke a couple of them over the years tapping them out too hard, was my fault though. keep an extra one on hand

also highly recommend getting some 7th floor tubing. is way better than the stuff they give you

fuck a bag lol

get a solo for portable

and a http://www.vapexhale.com for home

anything else is just inferior imo

I agree, if you got the money and like using a bong or bubbler the cloud is the best I have used by far. so clean tasting

one thing I like about the EQ is the convenience of being able to just leave it on all day long. pack an elbow whenever I feel like it

Having your own Cloud is catching on. ;)

I am a very happy new owner of the VapeXhale Cloud EVO.

This medicates me to a whole better level - I think it is a broader spectrum of endocannaboidal extraction.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their experience.I'll probably get a V-Tower,as I really don't think I would use the bag much.

I'll get an extra elbow too,and look at the 7th Floor tubing.
