I bought a VapCap based on a recommendation in this thread. It doesn't work well for me - getting it to the right temperature with a lighter is a pain (when it double-clicks, it's definitely not hot enough to produce vapor in mine) and it holds such a miniscule amount.

I ended up giving it to someone for whom it works very well.

The VapCap seems neat but my glass genie works so well that I don't really think I need a replacement yet. It also doesn't seem all that great for long sessions but maybe it is, I can hit the genie forever without refilling it as long as I stir it up every few hits. If I was looking for something to use outdoors this seems like a good option for sure though

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.

i dont know much about dab rigs but most bongs now have inverted stems where the detachable bowl is the female end. not sure if that makes it convertible or not?

All you have to do is replace the bowl with a banger of the correct size, sex and angle.

Thanks. I want to get a nice piece here soon (and a rig) and just looking for it to be convertible depending on what I wanna smoke. :okpos:

I bought the Cyclone II lighter to go along with it and it works pretty well, but it takes a little practice. Someone in the C-SPAM weed thread recommended a single-flame torch instead.

I usually do two bowls back to back and it keeps me nicely baked for a good few hours.

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)

i'll try that... i watched a bunch of youtubes of people getting good rips off of it and i can't really see any difference in what they are doing. but it would be good to figure out

i have a lot of vapes but always just end up hitting the bong. pinch of weed in the bowl, roast it, done.

The first hit always sucks. Some people just treat it as a pre-heat cycle.

I get the best experience by sitting it on a coin or something metal between hits to force the clicker to reset without the whole tip cooling down.

So I can keep the whole thing hovering in the good-temp-zone, ya know?

The vapcap takes a while to get the hang of and is more affected by technique. Along with keeping the mid-point of the chamber over the flame, try to roll the barrel over the tip of the torch flame so the chamber heats up more evenly and hold the vapcap at a 45 degree angle while heating it with the torch flame perpendicular to it. As you get better you can run the torch along the length of the chamber while spinning it to get it up to temp even faster.

Also keep in mind it’s more of a micro doser, with my screen set at the deepest chamber notch it barely fits .10g of material if I tamp it in. I kind of want to upgrade to the titanium one and give this to a friend.

I find it to be the perfect travel piece. I keep it in the plastic tube and bring a jyarz container half full of ground weed, it’s perfect for smoking around a fire. The first hit is usually wispy, 2 and 3 are solid and dense, 4th is where it starts to get toasted.

Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





Using a Vapcap with a conventional lighter is so time consuming, uneven and generally frustrating that it's almost pointless. I think I'd sooner go outside, dig a small hole, start a fire, and then leave it muzzle-first in the embers and coals for a minute.

I got a small two flame torch lighter for out and about use, but I find it holds so little butane that it's not very good as a daily driver. Instead I use a cheap creme brulee torch and it gives me perfect results every time :keke:

Chinatown you got some disposable income right? Get a puffco if you are interested in getting into concentrates. Smoothest dabs around. Steepish at 300, but very nice.

Otherwise you can get complete rig for like ~40 bucks, that have good reclaim catches.

I love this video because here, in 2008, hashbean is the first youtube weed celebrity, the original customgrow420, with a massive collection of the latest glass given to him by top glass blowers for him to promote on youtube. And he has no clue how to get the oil into himself. He's never heard of a dab rig or a banger or a pen or any of it, just 12 years ago, because it was still just hotknives and hash/oil.

I only enjoy watching videos from growers, and while I don't like the green house dutch seed company strain hunters is a must watch for some cool cannabis grow culture in other countries.

if you dont want to cut back id move from a regular pipe to something with a water chamber. lets you get more bang for your buck from a single bowl pack in my experience. i prefer bubblers over bongs

Diamonds and sauce are certainly an experience. It's amazing how little you need and how high you can get.

I'm also pretty sure pure THCa crystals aren't illegal in the UK under the misuse of drugs act or psychoactive substances act.

That'll do it! I never got a nail though, I fell for nectar collectors, so my dab set up is

-torch
-nectar collector/honey straw
-a glass, oven-safe ramekin

The only way to do it that I didn't like was the trench-shaped banger, maybe I was doing something wrong but the shatter just kind of pooled at the bottom.

I can only begin to wonder why this weed is so cheap.



If I had to guess, it's outdoor that got caught in the september snap snow, cut early, and now it's on the hairs' edge of its' testing expiration.

I'm no fool, I went to one of my regular haunts and bought good indoor grown weed. Can't say I wasn't tempted, maybe if it's still around next week, probably just as meh as shake for the same price.

Yeah sometimes there's just too much weed and it seems like they've gotta get rid of it. There was some crazy deal I found a couple years ago that was like $150 for 4 ounces and it was just some decent outdoor weed. I think at the time I was mostly smoking all day every day so it was nice to just have huge sacks of weed of middling quality.

Nah. That line of shops here tends to have cheap weed all the time. They have ads up pretty constantly for what's obviously either outdoor that was poorly tended or lazily maintained indoor. It's usually one strain at a time and $50/oz. I've contemplated going to their shops before, but it feels like one of those situations where I'd get less stem buying $40/ozs of shake.

Probably not bad if you're making edibles from it though.
