I did like 150 mg when I wasn't particularly ready for it and combined with some tall boys was out on the street almost unable to walk.

It owned.

One of the most enjoyable highs I ever had was eating a 100mg brownie before going to the dentist for a double crown. Got nitrous, headphones & my favorite music, and a massaging dentist chair.
Zero discomfort, it was so great.

What's your recreational threshold? 50mg is a good place for me now. I'm thinking about jumping up to 100mg and seeing how long it takes for me to tolerate that, but I'm scared.

When illinois got recreational I was much the same way. If you are relatively used to 50, I think you could spread out an additional 25-50 after an hour or so. With any type of tolerance I don't think 100mg is too deep, but I've been smoking concentrates and getting wonderful deals on 500mg bags of worms

My best trip of all time was in Vegas at a conference with my wife. Work had paid for a nice room, we wandered down to a weed place off strip, ate an entire bag of gummies on the walk back, then got in a cab for Fremont Street. That place is great. I won $700 playing slots, met a bunch of weird people,went back to the room and chilled in the jacuzzi for an hour. It was loving great.

The next day that rear end in a top hat shot up Mandalay Bay or the concert across from it I guess so that loving sucked. Then we got trapped on the tarmac for 3 hours because Air Force One was loving about.

Weed was good though. Weed!

Nah, you can find ounces under $100 pretty regularly though. Less taxes with a medical card.

You can easily pay way more though. Places in Manitou Springs routinely charge $60+ an eighth after taxes, because they're the only two rec shops in the Colorado Springs area. Medical prices are pretty reasonable in the Springs though.

There's usually an ad on weedmaps for $50/ozs medical but it's exactly what you'd expect from a $50 oz. I like getting shake because it's usually 2oz for $80 after tax and tip. I love flower but prices are 10-20% higher than this time last year at good dispos.

I've gotten shake that was just tiny buds and less stem than I'd gotten out of a bag of top shelf from some shops. Quality still costs money, and that's around $150/oz right now.

I mean, 150/oz is still a great price for those of us who remember the Before Times when you were lucky to get an oz of "not Mexican brick weed" for 200.

weed had gotten really really cheap here for a while like back in 2014-2016. you could easily get top shelf zips for 175-200 not even having to buy in bulk at all. dunno what happened but that only lasted for a couple of years now the black market is all hosed up again and the pandemic isnt helping. like 300-350/oz for the same top shelf again (again these are not bulk prices. buying in bulk you can get it down somewhat). you can still get stuff for around 200 but it always sucks and has been heavily kiefed out.

Any recommendations for a cheap-ish refillable lighter that is not a torch lighter? I bought one on amazon for my vaporgenie a few months ago and it's okay but might've been too cheap and I'm already having some issues with it not lighting and refills kinda shittily. I'm debating just buying a box of Bics instead at this point.

Yeah, I was pretty happy when I could get a $20 1/8 from my guy. Now my now-legal ounces are probably ~$120, so it's only a little cheaper but much, much better. But we're price chatting

Did you drain the excess liquid before trying to fill it? You have to bleed off the excess liquid inside by pushing the fill valve inward (cold, use something you can push from an angle, like a bent fork) in order to get a full, proper fill with refillable butane lighters.


Otherwise Bics are about $1 each if you buy bulk packs.

I sure haven't! I'll give that a try and see if that helps. The other issue is the valve itself seems a little janky and off-center so I can never tell if I'm actually filling it up or not. Am I supposed to hear something happening when filling up a lighter?

Yeah. You should hear the hiss of fluid transferring from a high pressure can to a no pressure lighter. Fill in 2-3sec intervals, to keep the valves from getting so cold they freeze open. Couple pumps like that, can upside down into lighter fill valve, should be good. Purge the lighter every other fill or so. If you see the vapor mist coming out around, try using the different nozzles that come in most butane can lids.

Obviously do all the purging and filling outside.

My torchs' fill valve is a little off center, still works fine as long as you line it up right.

Pretty sure it's just a type of live resin with a different consistency. I thought I did used to hear some people say "budder" for cannabutter though.

edit: yeah it's a concentrate like this

I hate using standard lighters on my Genie. It turns the ceramic element into a blocked black mess.

Angled torch lighters for Genies. Refilling these works fine as long as the refill bottle is upside down and I keep lightly shaking the connected refill bottle and lighter.

Lol also that reminds me:. My MIL got a Genie based on my recommendation. But she kept saying she was having trouble with it. So after a few months I finally looked at it.
She had been stuffing flower on top of the ceramic element and lighting it.

Huh, torch lighter? It's been probably ten years since I bought this thing but seem to recall them saying not to use a torch lighter for some reason. Maybe it's because I have the glass one?

You can use a torch of genies, it just takes getting used to and you should probably hold it a little further away than a Bic or generic cigarette lighters.

I used a vapoegenie for years with bics and never had issues with the filter getting charred up unless I used it a bunch when drunk. If this is happening you're sucking the flame into the filter, which is wrong

This looks awesome but drat that's pricey. I've used this glass genie for over 10 years (holy loving poo poo I'm old) and still love how little I need to put into this and how much I can get out of it. I have a Pax 2 and my gf a Pax 3 and never use it because of how much you need to put into those things and how quickly it gets torched even if you're being sure to start low with the temp and bump it up over time.

If you liked the vaporgenie you should check out the vapcap. It's still flame powered, but you heat the vapcap itself until it clicks then put away the heat and take a rip instead of having to manage the heat with your lungs. It's relatively foolproof, hits like a bear and also works very well in the elements (unlike the vg)

Try heating the tip a little longer past the clicks, and also heating lower, almost at the bottom of the cap, around the V in Dynavap. This gave me the best hits with the 2020 M. The Ti tip does heat up and dump its heat much faster, making for snappier rips (tips are interchangeable btw, you don't have to buy the whole Ti rig)

Can any bong be converted into a dab/concentrate rig? I've just been smoking on a $20 bubbler with removable bowl since I really ~got back into~ smoking weed a few months ago when I took a hiatus from drinking.

Now that my nightly ritual is weed instead of booze, I'm definitely starting to build a nice Weed Cabinet of strains and want to upgrade my intake system. (I'm in San Diego with tons of dispensaries)
