Is dabbing worth it? One avenue I haven’t gone down.

Define "worth it"... If you're looking to get blasted then dabs will get you there quickly. The first time you try it will probably remind you of the first time you got high. And good lord please don't let the fear of increased tolerance prevent you from trying it. People talk about "T breaks" in this thread like it's the boogeyman.

But also what that other person said, please please please do not buy concentrates from the black market. These extracted products should absolutely be tested and certified with medical guidelines.

Extracts are great, but I find dabbing is a bit extreme. It's too hot, and too much in one hit. I like to titrate, and I guess my lungs are a bit delicate these days.

Dynavap + Dynacoil has been great for me with everything from hash to diamonds and sauce, especially when connected to a water bong. It's probably about as close to dabbing as I'll ever get.

I like to get a gram of diamonds and sauce every time I pick up my herbs (normally 14g), and the extract lasts me for about a week, so I then spend on average 2+ weeks without it, and it seems fine. There's not a period where I'm not high.

But yeah, dynavap + dynacoil. I can't recommend it enough.

I got a black Friday deal on a dynavap and induction heater. I love it. I was skeptical on the dynacoil though. Cleaning my dab equipment suuucks, and I worry the coil would be too messy. Am I a dumb baby?

I bought a cheap sonic jewelry cleaner, and put hot water in it, and the coil + dynavap bits (minus the cap) in a mini mason jar containing ISO. It takes a few mins, and it comes out glistening.

Just use a pen with an atomizer for concentrates. Adapters that let you put concentrate into a dry herb vape never, ever work as well or without big caveats like making a mess.

how quickly things have changed. when this thread was first posted, the black market was literally the only option for most of the US. and for quite a lot of the country, it still is.

though now that we have like 16 states that are fully legal, even if you live in an illegal state there is more of a chance that you can get something that came from an actual dispensary or you can get a prescription. still, all the branding and stickers etc. are incredibly easy to fake and even in legal states there are people selling fake carts

I broke my quartz banger and replaced it with a dynacoil, since I already have a fully kitted dyna setup besides that. honestly I think the dynacoil hits as hard as the banger does, I get awesome dabs off it

These work fine. A little weird to work out the right amount of tension at first, just takes practice. Too loose, apply pressure to the back roller while pulling. Too tight, let it roll freely as you pull the front roller.

gently caress ego checks for hand rolling. Joint rolled with a machine isn't any less smokable.

Also papers are way cheaper of you just buy a box of the drat things. I think my last box of 50 packs of Elements was $30, compared to $3-5/pack at the gas station.

top ten juiced up coaches
and the top ten juiced up players
i use this exact one and it makes a perfect one every time, even the first one i made. i cut off the bottom 1/2" inch of an old magic card and roll it into a spiral to make a filter and set that all the way on the left side, then fill the rest with wede and roll it until it's cylindrical. feed the paper in with the glue facing you, roll it up until the glue is just showing, wet it and roll it the rest of the way. i've only ever used the front roller. i can't roll a normal joint for poo poo but people are impressed by these

those rolling machines work "fine" but imo produce a joint that is too small and too tight. you can get larger machines but learning to hand roll is worth it and a great skill for any stoner to have

It is, but if you're getting small, tight joints from those rollers, you're probably dragging pressure on the back roller without realizing it, or overpacking it.

I use a 110mm roller, holds a gram pretty well. I can usually get 20+ minutes out of a joint from my machine, no tighter rolled than a cigarette. An 85mm roller is usually good for .75g or so. You're not going to be able to roll blunts in one (there's probably a roller made for that though), but you can get a good uniform joint once you're used to using it, just don't overpack it.

I used to be able to hand roll a little, but I always needed a dollar bill or something to smooth it out. This is just a dollar bill in a frame linked end to end. My hands are shaky enough that being able to lock the tumblers together and set it down is a nice feature while I fiddle with papers or have a squirrel moment. Yeah, hand rolling is great if you can do it, but this takes the effort out of it for most people.

If you want to learn to roll joints imo, get some good rolling tobacco or an herbal blend or prepared cbd flower, whatever and practice with that, even if you only smoke herb - you want something that's at least halfway decent so it's not completely dry. I wouldn't actually smoke them, but I'd light them after you roll them and see how they burn, see if they chase down one side or whatever. A properly rolled joint won't chase, and will keep burning for at least a while without anyone drawing on it. You might mix cbd flower that was pre-ground for you w/ reg weed if you don't want a whole joint.

Part of it is knowing how much pressure to use (not much), and how to distribute it on the paper so it ends up evenly packed throughout. Another big part though is just knowing how it should be ground, what consistency you're looking for when you break up the buds to load the joint. That's why looking at an herbal blend as a reference can help.

I don't ever use grinders, as I prefer to break it up by hand. If you use a grinder you'll need to manually look for and remove any small stems so you don't rip the paper. It takes practice and a steady hand. I usually roll it a bit loose at the top end, and then use a pen cap or whatever to pack it down, then make that top the end of the joint (I roll cones mostly, which all you need to do is angle the paper slightly) .

What's nice about knowing how to roll good joints by hand is if you have even just a half a gram, if you know how to roll a nice j w/ that you can get considerably high with even just that bit, it's a nice method.

I'll never get why people use rolling machines - rolling a joint is wildly easy, I've tried to use these before and I just find them massively frustrating. I might be an idiot.

Just buy some tobacco and learn to roll cigarettes. Don't smoke them (unless, y'know, you want to) and you won't waste any weed learning to roll. It's literally just a case of repetition and you get there sooner than you think - people always though my cigarettes looked like joints, so it's arguably easier to get them into that shape.

It's always the bit where you fold the paper in and under before sealing that people struggle with. Just do it over and over with tobacco for like, a few hours, and you'll eventually get it.

Americans don't seem to use cardboard roaches, so I will say that makes it wildly easier - I can't roll cigarettes without a filter.

Ewww, gravity bongs. I just smoke nice weed and it's legal here, so a half gram joint isn't because I'm scrounging, it's just an ample amount for a personal joint of strong weed, especially if it's a light fluffy strain. Try a nice half gram preroll from a dispensary sometime.
