Save Money Without Compromising On Quality With The Extreme Q 4.0 Vaporizer
The Extreme Q 4.0 Vaporizer competes with the Volcano in everything except for price. 
There are many ways to medicate with medical marijuana. You can smoke it. You can eat it. You can also use one my favorite methods – vaporize it.
Vaporizing allows medical marijuana patients to medicate without a lot of the harmful by-products you can ingest into your lungs when smoking a pipe, joint, or even a bong. Check out Harvest Honey’s Q&A here for some myths and facts on vaporizing.
For a while now, the Volcano Vaporizer always crushed any competition when it came down to which vaporizer is superior. With its quick bag-filling capacity and new digital temperature read out, the Volcano rocks your brain with its smooth and powerful vapor. The only negative – the insane price tag.
Today, there are several competitors out on the market each offering their own features. One of them offers up some stiff competition. The Extreme Q 4.0 made by Arizer offers many of the same features as the Volcano at a lower price ($249.95 MSRP compared to the Volcano’s $669 MSRP) without much of a sacrifice in quality.
How They Differ?
We’ll start with the differences first, because there really aren’t many to speak of. The Extreme Q is a smaller, more-portable unit. In fact, you can buy a mobile adapter to plug in to your car cigarette lighter. Secondly, the mouthpiece is cheaper. Instead of the Volcano’s quick-release system, the Extreme Q uses a glass tube affixed to the bag with rubber bands. The company includes a few extra bags and mouthpieces to make sure you don’t have to share germs with others while medicating.
The only difference that can be seen as a true negative is the time it takes to fill a bag. Yet, in my use of the vaporizer, this slight should not deter someone from purchasing it. Watch this video and decide for yourself.
What’s the Same?
Like the Volcano, the Extreme Q features a similar brushed-steel cone shape with a ceramic heater, forced-air delivery system, and digital readout that can be controlled by remote.
The Extreme Q functions in a similar way too. Load your finest ground medical marijuana into a glass chamber with a screen and set it on top of the heating element. Next, add the glass-on-glass elbow which can be fitted with either a long tube to be used as a whip or a short tube to fill a bag. Finally, turn the fan on low, medium, or high (you’ll want to use the high setting when filling a bag) and directly inhale or fill a bag with sweet vapor smoke.
Ahh yes, the sweet, sweet vapor. The most important feature. The Extreme Q produces exactly the same quality vapor as the Volcano. Want a milky hit full of vapor with a little smoke? Crank it up to 365 degrees Fahrenheit. Want a smokeless hit? Turn the temp to about 300 degrees and enjoy your medication in a healthier, more affordable way.
