Supreme V3 portable spray: the dragon's breath?
I remember that day when a colleague praised me for the qualities of the Supreme V3 portable vaporizer before lending it to me.
I was still a young vaporist with moderately clean lungs, looking for sensations as strong and fast as those of combustion.
"You're going to see this vapo, it's a killing, it produces firefighter slats on demand, with a monstrous taste," he told me.
In fact, he compared it squarely to the Sublimator, the elite of vaporization…
In this case, having once tried in my life the best vaporizer in the world, my duty as a knight wandering in search of the saint vapo required me to check my friend's words.
And I have to admit that this was one of the best decisions of my life as a repeat post-smoker.
My amazement was such that I remained paralyzed in the face of the dragon's breath… I was literally entangled with the steam that enveloped my body and soul.
Then, having mastered the beast, I knew I would never smoke again in my life.

Supreme V3 Vaporizer Hybrid Heating System
The Supreme V3 Vaporizer heats plants mostly by convection to extract the active ingredients in the form of steam.
Convection heating means that there is no contact between the heater and the plant.
Indeed, it is the passage of hot air through plant materials that produces steam!
On the other hand, if the plant was in contact with the heating element, we would call heating by conduction.
The convection system is perfectly suited to the Supreme V3 portable vaporizer.
It is true that the huge heating element will keep the heat long enough to allow you to inhale long and generous puffs!
In fact, the longer and stronger the inhalations, the more generous the steam production.
Forget the long, slow aspirations required for the majority of convection sprays!
Of course, the aluminum plant compartment stays close to the heating element, and as you know the metal is heat conductor.
Thus, a heat source by conduction will be installed during vaporization.
Rest assured, conduction is not a word and involves faster steam production.
What is certain is that the system is perfectly developed because it offers the user a volume and a density of steam to make smokers pale!
The steam quality of the Supreme V3 Vaporizer!
As we said earlier, some users compare the extraction capacity of the Supreme V3 Vaporizer to that of the Sublimator, the most expensive and efficient vaporizer on the market.
This comparison is, in my humble opinion, entirely justified.
I actually tried these two vaporizers and it is true that the reconciliation is obvious!
Just like the price difference, which ranges from the single for the Supreme V3 to more than triple for the second.
Important detail, which brought my choice on the acquisition of the Supreme V3 Vaporizer for my collection.
But voila, not everyone has tested the Sublimator to understand the comparison we make here.
Be aware that respect for the flavours of vaporized plants is highly qualitative.
Add to this a density and a steam volume produced worthy of a real locomotive.
If you spray vines, for example, expect a real harvest!
Some users would criticize the Supreme V3 Vaporizer for the aluminium design of its heater element and its plant bowl…
Indeed, the scientific community would point the finger at the possible toxicity of aluminum contained in deodorants for example.
What we know is that aluminum is the third most abundant component on Earth, it is naturally present all around us, in water, earth and rocks.
It is therefore massively exploited by the industry, from soda cans to intravenous vaccines, and would be safe for your health…
Supreme V3 Vaporizer: heating time and battery life
The Supreme V3 portable vaporizer does not work with batteries, in contrast to electronic vaporizers, but with a gas blowtorch.
We insist on this, a blowtorch is a blowtorch, not a lighter storm!
This is called "manual" heating, and the user controls the intensity of the heater in real time.
About one minute of heating will be enough to reach 180oC, this time can vary depending on the power of your blowtorch.
However, the temperature still rises significantly after stopping the heating, we see a lag of 15 to 20 degrees Celsius depending on the power of your blowtorch.
We therefore recommend that you anticipate this lag by stopping the heating 15 to 20oC before your goal.
So, if you want to spray your plants at 180oC, stop heating when the thermometer is 165oC!
The autonomy of the vapo will depend on your gas reserve, be foresighted.
Supreme v3 Vaporizer, temperature control?
As we said above, manual torch heating means that the user controls the heating intensity in real time.
Rest assured, the Supreme V3 portable "living room" vaporizer is equipped with a sensor thermometer that displays the temperature to the degree.
Nevertheless, we found that by spraying industrial hemp, an already generous steam was produced at only 150oC, and that a form of sub-combustion was installed around 190oC.
Knowing that hemp should begin to produce a visible vapor around 170oC and produce a sub-combustion above 210oC, it is inferred that the thermometer would underestimate the actual temperature of about 20oC.
So be careful not to overestimate the value announced by the thermometer, it will save you from painful surprises!
Thus, it will be possible to practice herbal medicine in the broadest sense of the term, i.e. with all aromatic plants and medicinal herbs.
Don't hesitate to check out our plant spray temperature chart!
If you want to practice aromatherapy with solid or oily concentrates, be sure to coat them with Japanese organic cotton (the best!) before placing them in the vaporization chamber.
Ergonomics and use of the Supreme V3 vaporizer
Here is the trending point of the Supreme V3, its ergonomics …
In theory, it is a portable vaporizer.
Indeed, in the absence of food sector, it cannot be called a salon vaporizer.
And even if it fits easily in the pocket, its operation with a blowtorch good to weld the liners makes it incompatible with discreet use or street …
It's simple: when your neighbour sees you use it through the window, he may think you're a Sunday blacksmith who could blow up the building on the first gas leak.
Thus, the Supreme V3 will be described as a "transportable" vaporizer, i.e. it is possible to migrate with computers to the toilet for example, or to friends.
They are generally more hospitable to spray than your toilets, at least I wish you.
In short, it's a portable salon vaporizer!
The heater element and the vaporization chamber are designed in aluminum, the handle is as for it in stainless steel.
The Supreme V3 vaporizer comes with a silicone mouthpiece, but it is a bit short and cools the steam poorly which is then irritating.
Fortunately, the device is compatible with glassware in 14 and 18 mm!
We then have the opportunity to associate the Supreme V3 with our pre-sharp bangs and bubblers.
For my part, Sherlock tips are a perfect choice!
Maintenance of the Supreme v3 Vaporizer
If we don't have much to say in this topic, it's that you won't have much to maintain in your Supreme!
Indeed, only the vaporization chamber where the plants are placed will require a occasional cleaning.
To do this, disassemble the tube that acts as a chamber, and remove it from its silicone joints.
Then dip it in isopropylic alcohol for example, and let it soak for at least 10 minutes.
Rinse it thoroughly in clear water before reassembling it on the Supreme V3 Vaporizer!
Of course, the bubbler you spray with will need the same treatment when you find it is too dirty.
How the Supreme V3 vaporizer works
The use of the Supreme is very simplistic, but remains forbidden to penguins.
A blowtorch badly extinguished, it's quickly gone and above all, it does not forgive!
Fortunately, we are addressing an informed, major, and pre-vaccinated audience.
Place the plants in the spray chamber, turn on the thermometer and activate your blowtorch.
Then heat the heater to the desired temperature, respecting the inertia of 15oC that we were talking about above.
Turn off your blowtorch, place the Supreme V3 on a bubbler and inhale.
All you have to do is taste, watch out for the dragon's breath!
Beware of the heating element because it will stay hot for a few minutes and you could seriously burn yourself with it.
| The Supreme V3's pluses | The Supreme V3 | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Steam quality | Alu design |
| 2 | Amount of steam | Danger due to the use of the blowtorch |
| 3 | Temperature control | Burning heater |
| 4 | On-demand puffs | |
| 5 | Easy to use |
Summary
The Supreme V3 portable vaporizer is a monster in terms of steam production!
It is able to extract all the active ingredients from the plants in just a few puffs, while each of these puffs can leave you on the pavement.
Spraying with the Supreme V3 is like playing marbles with bowls.
It is therefore a utensil reserved for thrill seekers, and seasoned vaporists.
It is therefore to be kept away from small natures, but also clumsy ones that could burn themselves!
On the other hand, its exceptional flavour rendering combined with its incredible extraction capacity will delight the most demanding vapophiles.
The dragon's breath!
