Difficulty of Use
One of the things you should probably know about the Extreme Q before picking it up is that it can be a bit difficult to use initially. You will likely need to spend some time figuring out what works best for you through trial-and-error testing.
Once you have figured out what temperature to use and how much cannabis to put in, there are still some more tips that it would likely be best you follow. While the direct draw can be fun, it can also be a bit finicky if you aren’t sure how hard you should be drawing. This can be especially difficult when you break your vaporizer out at a party with a number of your friends who have never used one.
This is where the balloons shine with this vape. Once you fill a balloon with the onboard fan you can be certain that you will have a high-quality vape that everyone can enjoy.
