Extreme Q: Top Five Tips & Tricks

1. Preheat the cyclone bowl. Turn on the Extreme Q and heat to 392 F, then place an empty cyclone bowl on the unit's heating element for 5-10 minutes. When the bowl is hot to the touch, load it with your pre-ground weed. This ensures that when you add your herb, the vape will start producing strong vapor right away, while at the same time not cooking your weed before you're ready to hit it.
2. Clean the whip screen.  The screen in the middle of the cyclone bowl doesn't get very clogged, but the bowl-shaped whip screen certainly does. You can scrape it clean with the glass poker between sessions, or better yet soak the screen in alcohol for an hour, then rinse off with water. Voila! You now have a fresh screen with no need to buy a back-up. Bigger, cleaner hits on the way!
3. Don't load small bowls.  There should be weed enough to cover the round, bottom screen in the cyclone bowl completely.  If you've loaded too little, air will flow around the herb and not through it, which will does produce optimal vapor. A good rule of thumb is to load a teaspoon into the bowl if you are smoking alone or with a friend.
4. Breath in for 13 seconds.  Knowing how fast or slow to take a hit can be confusing at first, so I just tell people to try and hit the vape for 13 seconds straight, if possible.  This will force you to take the hit at a reasonable speed. Draw in slowly for best effect.
5. Have a re-smoke routine. Yes, you can re-smoke the same bowl. Be sure to remove the cyclone bowl promptly after the first session and allow the weed to cool. When ready to hit again, warm the Extreme Q to 392, stir the weed in the cyclone bowl AND the bowl-shaped screen in the whip, then let the cyclone bowl heat up for 3-5 minutes. Puff and pull with your breath to get the maximum exposure from all sides of the ground-up weed.
