So I've had some spice I've wanted to do something with for a while. I considered sandwich, dabbing and now vaping.
I'm guessing dabbing on a titanium banger through my bubbler would be an easy way to do it.
Otherwise has anyone had much experience with an Arizer Extreme Q?
I was thinking of getting the liquid pad for the mighty/crafty/volcano and putting that into the bowl, then sandwiching on top of that. As long as the pad fits in the bowl right it should not lose any spice into the heater right?
I was thinking of making infused herb but I only have 99% IPA and 200mg of spice so I worry about wasting/ruining it.
I also noticed ddave has a concentrate glass rig, but since I bought the one hitter 14mm rig off him, I would need to buy an 18mm bowl to use the concentrate kit with, so would end up being another $60 ish USD with postage.
I bought some 14mm capped baskets also so I can try packing the 14mm 'microdose' bowl a bit bigger to try to sandwich potentially too.
Any advice how I should proceed for best effect?
I was thinking if I could vape the safest would be to fill a bag. Would it actually get the spice into it in a single bag (since the herb takes more than one bag potentially)? If so I'm guessing it might be hard to break through if needing to use 2-3 bags (what you fill them one by one before then sucking on them all? xD ). I'm hoping all the spice will vape before the herb.
Otherwise perhaps running the one hitter or whip, by itself into my mouth or into my bubbler?
So many options, no idea which is the right one. Want to make the 200mg last as much as I can..
So
1: titanium dab nail on bubbler heated with torch lighter
2: sandwich in bubbler cone, maybe with screens also
3: sandwich in arizer EQ, on top of a volcano liquid pad, either in an 18mm ddave bowl or the original 18mm cyclone bowl (cyclone bowl a bit cheaper at this stage)
4: ddave concentrate piece (expensive, would regular the 18mm shortie to work)
5: infused herb in regular bubbler or arizer eq - worried about messing things up wanting to only try 50-100mg infused (and saving 100-150 spice)
EDIT 19 September:
Dabbing looks alright but with my bubbler, it would be a bit 'dodgy'. Being a gripper with an odd grommit size/shape. Bonza stem with a 14mm glass female stem inside it, then a male banger hanging on top - it would be do-able but I figure spice and torch/jet lighters and precarious glassware probably isn't the best combination to reconnect with this spice.
So I got a 14mm ddave 'one hitter' kit for my Arizer EQ. I'm thinking the best way to go for spice is:
1. infuse herb with warm water tek, only have .2 spice so probably .3 or .4 herb to put it into
2. with 14mm 'shortie' ddave bowl, place small liquid drip pad (13mm)

3. either elbow packing the 14mm basket or packing the ddave 14mm bowl with a dose, possibly if bowl packing, adding some more ash or mullein? I'm not sure if infused herb can suffer spice 'dripping' from it like sandwich technique?
4. use fan setting 1 on a certain temperature I have to remember/remind myself of - what is the best temperature to reach boiling point for spice? And fill up half a bag (to make it quicker to inhale). Cap end of bag with bluetack, half fill 2nd bag.
5. stop fan and heater, use first bag as quickly as possible, potentially also use 2nd bag straight after. Maybe something left to fill up half a third bag? Presumably not since doses will be something like 0.1g (0.2 spice with 0.3-0.4 herb, 5-6x doses out of 0.2g, around 0.1g infused herb per dose). This amount won't actually fit in the 14mm basket either so might have to put in the bowl, or use both both bowl and elbow filled a bit. Or put 0.05 in one bag ready to go, then prepare another 0.05 in the next bag.
Another option would be to interface the Arizer EQ with my bubbler with the ddave one hitter kit, although this means I have to keep sucking, compared to possibly easier inhalation from a loaded bag. Could also use as whip without the bubbler too.
Is there any thought about whether spice vapour through a bong would reduce the effect? Is it possible going through the water could condense more spice, lost to the water, that would have been inhaled otherwise if a waterless vapour path? I know people use bubblers for sandwich method so I presume it still 'works' but does anyone have any idea whether it is stronger or not without the water?
I just purchased the 13mm liquid drip pads so all I need to do now is infuse my herb with the 0.2g. I read that such a small amount isn't really worth infusing, but I haven't smoked spice for almost 20 years and I would like to 'break through' and not do anything to mess it up. I'm guessing infused herb through a vape into a bag should be the least 'wasteful' method.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
