I actually need to use less weed with my vape, but have dialed it in pretty good. It's took me a little bit to figure out how to get monster rips though. Not using the hose helps a lot. Try direct draw next time.I brought a relatively cheap desktop vaporizer and was surprised at the quality/functionality. Preferred using the desktop over smoking or the mobile handheld vaporizer when there was nothing of urgency . Found my desktop (No brand name desktop.) requires a lot more herb to get desired effect, as well as a period for heating up that exceeds the portable vaporizer (Vie vaporizer) I now use primarily. Although I brought the cheapest desktop available, I did enjoy using it and I am planning on getting a volcano in the near future. Vaporization is considerably healthier for the lungs and the high was more versatile between various strains, the vaporization experience definitely made me reduce smoking to a minimum. But I still enjoy the rare blunt every so often.

Volcano's are cool, but I don't like the idea of the vapor sitting in a bag for too long. I want it to go straight into my lungs. I think it would get weaker as it sits, or goes through a hose. At least that's from my personal experience. But I wasn't really impressed with my vape until I figured a few things out. Different heat settings will give different effects and I like the heavier stuff so I keep mine turned on the higher side. I also break the bud up with my finger really fine, and I mix up the weed between hits. I actually have a hard time telling the difference anymore if I take a bong rip or if use the vape. But a dab is gonna blow both bongs and vapes away. I'm coming over to test your nail, haha.
I'm a fan of Arizer products but not vaping. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I have the Argo portable and the Extreme Q for the desktop. The Extreme Q is still in the box.
I just now broke my Arizer Extreme Q out after months of not using it...But with the pandemic and my weasing lungs, I figured it's about time! I use the bags, preheat the unit good, and the bags fill with dense vape that is the closest thing to smoking I've seen. I hate those vapes where you have to work like hell to get practically nothing. Just finished a turkey bag full of T-Bomb and it worked well. I love smoking joints, but I have to believe vaping is easier on the lungs.
The SSV can be hands free too. If you don't want them anymore I will gladly take them off your hands, lol.
And I'll just add, learning how to adjust the temps and grinding the weed just right and packing the bowl tight enough, but not too tight...you definitely need to dial in your setup to have good vapes.
Do you do the 'elbow pack'? That was a game changer for me, packing the little basket filter tightly rather than having loose bud in the glass chamber.

Ah, didn't realize there a term for it (of course there is lol), ya packing the filter bowl on the elbow is the way to go. Then once i feel that batch i mostly used, I'll scrape the used bud into bottom bowl, leaving it loose to get re-vaped (and it'll vape at slightly dif temp there also), while pack fresh bud back in the top. As long as you dont over pack it this gives me the most consistent and full hits and i feel i get the most out of the bud. I dont bother with the fan unless i want to get the temps up quickly to just below burning it lol. Never tried running it through a bong, the smoke is so clean already, but i might give that a try!Do you do the 'elbow pack'?

I usually set temp around 200-210C and run the whip through a bong. I rarely use the fan on any setting but medium, though with the bigger mouthpiece and easier draw through the bong, the fan probably isn't required.

A good technique to save your dry herb with an Arizer Extreme Q vaporizer is to use the elbow packs method rather than filling up the Cyclone Bowl.
