Arizer Extreme Q Review

Despite the massive popularity of portable vaporizers in recent years, true vape aficionados still hold desktop vaping as the ultimate way to enjoy vape experiences.

There's something about sitting down with a large device, packed with the best heating and convection technology and enjoying a long, leisurely night in with your favorite botanical blends. 

Of course, such quality usually comes with a significant price tag, a major barrier to entry for beginners and those who like to vape on a budget. Fear not, however, there is a way for nearly anyone to enjoy the incredible quality of dry herb vaping without having to worry about breaking the bank: The Arizer Extreme Q. 

This device, hailing from vape veterans Arizer, is the perfect introduction to the world of desktop vaping. Its large build in a/c power supply allows the Extreme Q vape to create a more potent and powerful standard vape experience.

On top of this, it comes bundled with a clever remote control system that allows users to adjust their vape experience from the comfort of their couch. 

The Extreme Q vaporizer is among the older vapes on the market today, does it hold up to modern standards? Read our Arizer Extreme Q review to find out!

How Does The Arizer Extreme Q Work?

1. Heating System

The Extreme Q vape has a convection-based heating system. This works by heating the air surrounding your herb and gradually baking out the essence of your ground botanicals. This works in tandem with its unique glass cyclone bowl design to create dense, consistent, and smooth vape experiences. 

2. Loading The Arizer Extreme Q

The glass cyclone bowl has another quality of life improvement that helps set the Q apart from other devices. You can easily remove it from the top of the Extreme Q and set it down on a flat, stable surface. This makes it a piece of cake to fill with your ground herb of choice. When it is fully packed, all you need to do is simply place it back onto the EQ and you're ready to rock!

3. Turing on The Arizer Extreme Q

The Arizer Extreme Q is fairly standard when it comes to its onboard controls. 

To activate it, press the power button on its face. However, you can also use the included remote control to activate it from a distance. Regardless of how you do it, when it is activated the red light on its face will start to glow, signaling that it has begun a heat cycle. 

4. Temperature settings

The Q's heat settings can be manipulated with the controls mounted on the face of the device or with the remote control. The LCD display makes it a breeze you see exactly what's going on inside the vape, allowing you to easily control your vape session.

What makes the Extreme Q Vape Stand Out?

The desktop vaporizer scene is considerably less crowded than the portable market. This means that a desktop device doesn't have to do as much to stand out. Of course, that didn't stop Arizer from putting a lot of time and effort into turning the Q into a unique and striking vaporizer. 

Its overall design is surprisingly compact, so anyone who worries about a bulky device dominating their entire room can rest assured that the Q will fit easily on most coffee tables and is easy to store. 

One of the interesting features of the Q is the inclusion of the remote control. While bluetooth connectivity is a familiar feature for many modern vape fans, not so long ago the only way of interacting with your device was the onboard control schemes. 

The Extreme Q's remote allows users to turn on the device and control its temperature settings from across the room! The remote also allows users to control the device's internal fan. This can be used in tandem with the balloon system to open up a whole new way to enjoy dry herbs. 

What's In The Box - Kits & Accessories

The Arizer Extreme Q comes in a generous kit that includes everything you need to get the very most out of your dry herb. 

The bulk of the kit is taken up with the Q itself. This tall chromed cylinder is compact but hefty enough to assure you of its quality. Following this, you'll find the remote control. This is small but features a comprehensive range of intuitive controls. Following this, we can find the various parts that you use to consume dry herb vapor from the device. The silicone whip allows you to take hits directly from the Q while the balloons can be used in tandem with the fan to allow you to enjoy a vape experience away from the main unit. 

The kit features 2 glass cyclone bowls. These are a key part of the incredible quality we've come to expect from the Q and having 2 means that you have spares if one gets broken, or always have one ready while the other is being cleaned.

Tips for Getting Best Vapor Quality With Arizer Extreme Q

The Extreme Q is, at the end of the day, a pretty standard convection-powered vaporizer. This means to get the very most out of it you have to put in a little prep time. When you're grinding your herb ensure that you only break it down to a medium-fine consistency. Then, when you're packing it, make sure that you don't tamp it down too much, leave enough space for the air to flow through the full chamber, and vaporize its entire surface area. 

Is The Arizer Extreme Q Easy To Clean? 

You'd be forgiven for assuming that because of desktop vape's reputation as a more advanced device that maintenance can be a complicated affair. However, the Arizer Extreme Q is an easy device to maintain thanks to its clever cyclone bowl system. 

When you want to clean it out, simply lift it away from the rest of the Vaporizer and carefully clean away any grime with isopropyl alcohol and a soft-bristled brush.
