Hi weed thread this is a comparison of dark web weed (top) with my local dealers weed bottom




as you can see the bottom one is kinda poo poo looking.

god drat is that dark web weed tasty and powerful (big kush is the strain)


this is a result of growth hormones used in hydro setups in australia. it fattens up the weight (thicker stalks) but you lose THC content. all the red hair is also indicative of PGRs used. it also smells like poo poo rather than a nice zesty weed smell.


thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Your mail order weed is better trimmed. I mean, if your local guy took the time to trim his stuff up a little, it wouldn't be as drastic a difference. The annoying part there is never knowing what you're actually getting besides "weed".

Being there are so many strains and everyone has their own way of growing, you're going to get poo poo tasting weed from time to time. I'm smoking through two plants of the same strain right now. One tastes mildly like citrus and is pretty smooth, the other smells like a rubber dick factory. Fed the same, grown next to each other, but one of them tastes like silicone rubber. That's where selection and cloning comes in, or you'll eventually grow a plant that just tastes like something terrible. Still pretty potent, just makes my place smell like an adult store.

the second photo looks like what we used to affectionately call "beaster" - just commercial stuff that wasnt particularly well cared for at any point in the grow cycle but generally "gets the job done" when you go to smoke it. always poorly trimmed like that but sporting some red hairs and crystals nonetheless

I've got two lots of it from two different guys. I suppose it's possible they are getting it from the same grower but it's different prices and availability between them


Either way the taste and effects are better but significantly more expensive.

I just thought I'd share. Weed/culture/market is different everywhere!

Thanks for the link, appreciate it! Is this extending beyond tobacco vapes and into weed vapes too? It's insanely nice being able to shop around outside of my local headshops and I have to imagine that if this is affecting consumers, it's gonna hit them too.

It reminds me of the time some friends and I made a six person (or one person if you close the other hoses) gravity bong out of a large trashcan that fit inside an even larger trashcan in an effort to get as high as possible. That thing could steal your soul, some people threw up after one hit.

I've rarely ever stirred my Fury Edge. Usually I just run a bowl till I stop getting vapor and its all evenly brown at that point all the way through without stirring so I've never bothered.

Seems like the vape mail/shipping ban is going to make it rough to get a vape in the US shortly without jumping through an assload of hoops. Get one while you can.

Can you elaborate on this what's going on exactly? I've got one I don't use all that much already but getting left out is a personal fear of mine

I'm not an expert so I'd recommend people look up the specifics themselves but the basic gist is that all e-cigs/vapes are getting added into the existing rules regarding mailing cigarette and smokeless tabacco products. The USPS wont ship those, UPS and Fedex I believe have also said they intend to follow the USPS decisions. And the new rules appear to take effect end of March.

Here is an article that covers most of it in regards to vaping as of a couple days ago. https://vaping360.com/vape-news/108577/vape-shipping-and-the-pact-act-what-we-know-so-far/

The current rule is:

quote:

Except as provided in 472.2, all cigarettes (including roll-your-own tobacco) and smokeless tobacco are nonmailable and shall not be deposited in or carried through the Postal Service mailstream. Nonmailable cigarettes and smokeless tobacco deposited in the mail are subject to seizure and forfeiture. Any nonmailable cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products seized and forfeited shall be destroyed or retained by the federal government for the detection or prosecution of crimes or related investigations and then destroyed. Senders of nonmailable cigarettes and smokeless tobacco may be subject to seizure and forfeiture of assets, criminal fines, imprisonment, and civil penalties. The Postal Service will not accept for delivery or transmit any package that it knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, contains nonmailable cigarettes or smokeless tobacco. If the Postal Service reasonably suspects that a mailer is tendering nonmailable cigarettes or smokeless tobacco, then the mailer bears the burden of proof in establishing eligibility to mail. The Postal Service has reasonable cause not to accept for delivery or transmit a package based on:

A statement on a publicly available website, or an advertisement, by any person that the person will mail matter which is nonmailable under this section in return for payment; or
The fact that the mailer or other person on whose behalf a mailing is being made is on the U.S. Attorney General‘s List of Unregistered or Noncompliant Delivery Sellers.

There are some exceptions, but its generally lovely.

quote:

Online retailers will be required to:

Verify age of customers using a commercially available database
Use private shipping services that collect an adult signature at the point of delivery
Register with the ATF and the U.S. Attorney General
Register with state and local tax administrators in all states and localities where business is done
Collect and pay all applicable local and state taxes, and affix any required tax stamps to the products sold
Each month, a list of all transactions must be sent to each state’s tax administrator that includes the names and addresses of each customer sold to, the quantities and type of each product sold, and the name, address, and phone number of the person delivering the shipment to the recipient

I'm stocking up while I can :ohdear: I grabbed a bunch of spare heaters for my Sai TAF titanium skillet (the heaters seem to run for years and the skillet itself should last indefinitely) as well as some 4mm kanthal-on-quartz coils that I'm hoping to maintain with an as-of-yet-not-purchased ultrasonic jewelry cleaner

This also probably puts an end to my at-home cartridge filling, which honestly isn't that big of a blow since my local shops done caught on to me and stopped selling distillate syringes at outrageously cheap prices :(

drat what? They decided to jack up the prices on you after they figured out you're filling your own carts? I thought that was like half the reason for selling distillate syringes in the first place.

A couple brands that used to sell both syringes and cartridges now only sell carts, and as a result in the last year or so the cheapest distillate syringes carried by my usual shops have gone from $15-20 to $30-60 - and as far as I can tell the poo poo ain't any stronger :cheeky:

That's a drat shame. But I can definitely see why they'd prefer selling carts, the carts themselves are very cheap but it allows them to jack up the price significantly. It's a bummer as well because I don't really LIKE buying disposable things, it sucks and I'd much rather do otherwise.

Bought a new torch today, and it doesn't turn off when you release the trigger. It should not do this. There's a trigger lock to hold it, I wasn't using it. Releasing the trigger doesn't always turn off the gas.

So I'm returning it tomorrow and never buying Scorch brand torches again.

This one:



Do not buy.

Honestly between the $13 torch from Walmart and any of the torches I can find at my local headshop... the $13 torch from Walmart is a better product by far.

I think I have a tiny little Scorch torch right now, it's egg-shaped, but it requires me to ignite it like eight times before it stays lit. So my Dynavap has gone largely unused these last few months.

So I have an XMAX Starry and it seems reliable as my portable vape option. I want to get a desktop vape since that's where I do 99% of my weed vaping. Is the Arizer Extreme Q still the go to and are there any parts I should stock up on for it?

That was the third Scorch I've bought that had some sort of flaw. Igniter went out on the previous, but I usually just spark it with a bic lighter. One before that, valve froze open and stayed open, dumping any gas I put into it out immediately.

I'm done with Scorch torches. There's a Dremel soldering torch in my amazon cart already.

Has anyone got recommdations for weed organisers? So I can put my vape, and like 6 tiny jars of weed in there? I put my weed on a shoulders-high shelf (the mantlepiece) so some kind of open-front mini-shelf thing would be perfect.

I carry mine in a set of three weed store bags which are full of lighters, old weed jars, half empty hash containers, small pipes, random stem collections, pieces of foil, and those clay sculpting things you use to move hash around.

So yeah I could probably use something like that too.

No joke: makeup organizers. There's tons of them that are just acrylic compartment grids of varying sizes and depths, and they're absolutely perfect for keeping a bunch of weed / vape poo poo sorted on a desk or shelf.

Theres a cart brand up here ive been getting from called surplus thats like $10-15 cheaper per gram then any of the others. I have a gram of Gelato and a gram of blueberry something and each was a bit over $35.

Also have a bag with a half o of littles/trim, some dispensary Gelato, some dos i do from a backyard grow, and then some random tiny nugs of top shelf. Im house sitting for a buddy who's in the industry and hes got over a dozen different kinds of top shelf in baggies just in the living room. He didn't saaay I could sample them, but he's got so much loving weed he's not gonna notice a gram or two going missing

Hit up a nice sale at my local yesterday, they had a new brand "Black Label" for concentrates and a sale of 25 per gram or 25 per half gram cart. Between that and the flower I actually triggered the arcane calculations they have to do to make sure you don't buy too much THC at once in Nevada and had to give up a cart to get it back under the limit.
