What's everyone using for a vape for carts that has some temp control options? This pen battery thing is nice and discreet but the power capacity sucks and it hits harsh like a motherfucker. I know almost nothing about the big brick sized ones that people always seem to have but presumably those are nicer to take hits from? Do the carts last longer because you can turn the temp down too?

I got a new device and the lowest voltage it allows is 2.7v so that's where I started; along the same thinking that a lower temp would make the cartridge last longer. Not the case.
I settled on usually going in at 3.3v to get a good sense of the flavor without wrecking my lungs. I don't usually drag for more than three or four seconds but this device times-out the heat after like five seconds to prevent it from overheating.

Hey it's not weed but I had a small dose of shroom-infused chocolate for the first time at a cookout today, how long do you think I should wait until driving? It's been 3 hours and I already feel pretty sober.

Also that poo poo should be legalized too, at a small dose it gives really interesting body effects like some strains of weed, but more.

Also I was talking to some old stoners at the cookout and they're like "Back in the day weed used to be so much stronger" and I'm like nah no way, your tolerance was just lower back then, and they're like "nah nah, I swear, it was better." Is it bullshit?

Weed has been grown for generations and generations since then with an emphasis on maximizing effects, thc content, and so on, with many places now allowing open growing so people have been able to actually focus on their plants like a business

The highest thc content weed nowadays is going to obliterate one of these old dudes, but then, they also were regularly smoking stuff that would have way more pesticides and poo poo in it, so maybe they’re nostalgic for that roundup buzz

Agreed, I'm pretty well versed in other psychedelics (I've lost count of how many times I've done acid and DMT), but 2.5g of mushrooms made into tea on an empty stomach had me at ego death. The whole experience only lasted about 4 hours though

Yeah I'm 100% certain that they were just weed babies and had super low tolerance. Like, back then weed was just Weed like right out of the ground, today we actively try our best to cross Super Fuckotron with God's Own Stash to make weed that will have you high for a week.

Original weed was just a plant that grew in the ground. Modern weed is a biological frankenstein's monster that exists in defiance of the universe. Like Goku, it's will is to become stronger and stronger until reaching it's final form. A living crystalline spire that radiates pure weed energy.

White wax with no goddamn flavor. It still smokes fine, just doesn't taste like anything. But for $9/g and thc numbers in the 70s, who am I to turn down cheap wax? I bought my 40g limit.

It was a bait and switch though. I wanted shatter, asked specifically for shatter, and they gave me crumble wax in a shatter package. But, again, for $9/g, I'm not complaining, it still gets me where I need to be.

I’ve been in and out of the doctors recently, but I’m having a lot of good news!

#1, I’m not dying anytime soon, and #2, not having time to smoke has really lowered my tolerance. Two hits from a cartridge now and I’m in a great place.

So, uh, lovely life pro tip - if you need a tolerance reset: just get chronically ill! :downs:

MKX 200mg gummies - I ate two packs of these, very liberally, over the course of the past 4-5 days. They are good and I enjoy them and they make me feel fuzzy.

RSO - Holy poo poo, this stuff got me high like I haven't felt in some time. Wonderful fully rounded high, dosing sucks because that poo poo sticks to everything and I can't eat crackers. 10/10 though.

1:1 CBD:THC Tincture - This poo poo owns and I think I'm gonna start buying it whenever it's on sale. Easy as hell to dose, super discrete, doesn't taste bad at all.

Thanks for helping me get through the worst of it, weed!

The last time I did mushrooms I was with my buddy Jay and he also did an eighth of what was called "penis envy" for the strain of mushrooms. The mushrooms were dry and easy to break down in my hands before chewing slightly and chasing with a big cup of orange juice.
They didn't kick in until around an hour after consuming but we had a DVD of the Monterey Pop Festival playing on a loop and the music became much more influential to my mood and my entire surrounding. We had the lights off and the sun began to set as Jimi was going up and then he torched his guitar and my heart started racing so I ran to the bathroom and threw up. The sound of the flushing toilet became entrancing. I spent probably twenty minutes on the floor of the bathroom, occasionally reaching up to flush the toilet. When I finally stood up I looked in the mirror and lost the concept of time.

Jay came and got me because the DVD had restarted again and Canned Heat were just about to start Rollin' and Tumblin', and that song hits like a real banger so we had to dance.
From there I had waves of emotions during each song and we played through the DVD like four or five more times. It is difficult to put into words how impactful that music is to me even still.

Last time I took shrooms I spent more than an hour adjusting the height of a hammock as it gradually slipped down the trees next to a lake. I'd get about 5 minutes of nice casual swinging before my rear end would drag on the ground. I ate them around dinner and they rolled in around sunset. I stayed outside all evening, didn't get eaten alive by Illinois mosquitoes on a memorial day weekend.

Some of my local places are now selling THC gummies with THCV, the no-munchies compound that's in Durban Poison. Which is great, because I prefer edibles and have had a hard time finding Durban Poison near me. I look forward to giving it a try.

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.
I got a bowl piece and it’s nice, but the hole at the bottom is too big. Unburnt weed flies down the hole and there’s so much airflow that it feels like smoking a pipe, especially if I put a screen to prevent losing weed.

Any tips other than letting it clog on purpose?

Get a glass screen, they’re little shapes like asterisks or flowers and they serve to screen without being a metal screen

They’re ultra cheap at any head shop, and you’ll have to take the knowledge from there and apply it to your life and figure out where to get five for a dollar ninety nine

Downsides? Actually, no.... surprisingly. It feels like a quality piece of kit, is made by a reputable global company, and the fact you can change the batteries and carry spares makes it future proof. If anything, I think it works better for the dynavap than it does for its intended purpose. lol

This is photographed with a flash close-up. This is the AVB from a couple of bowls. There's nothing left, and no charring from combusting, though it does look black to the naked eye. Combusting seems near on impossible to do with the wand.

I used to be 100% all about metal pipe screens but after a couple of uses they get clogged and become a huge pain to replace after getting all caked in.
These days the best method I've found is to get a big nugget or press a bunch of flower into a big enough plug for the hole.
Everything else should light before you start breaking into that nugget so it keeps you from getting shooters until just about the end of the bowl.

Yeah, you'll eventually build a little layer cake of resin around the hole, but don't go spending money to put something in the bottom for the meantime.

Ingenuity used to be a pretty regular pothead trait. When you find yourself needing to fix something, just take a little time and look around to see what you can use. Nothing wrong with being thrifty. Less money spent on screens is more money to spend on weed.

I wish I still had my hose pipe made from coolant hose and a couple of brass fittings.

RE: Ispire Wand. I have one I pretty much only use on my Dynavap and I love it. Good battery life, charges up fast via USB-C, and uses replaceable 18650 batteries. I also like the way it heats. It's very similar to using a single-flame torch in that it has a nice slow heat up so the tip can get sufficiently hot for good vapor production on the first hit. Induction heating really made Dynavaps click with me.

There is a correct size for the hole in a glass bowl and if the hole is the right size it will never need a screen. If you want more airflow on a bong, a pinch might work better:



I would never deal w/ the hassle of keeping track of a glass screen in a million years & this is the first thing I look at when evaluating a bowl. If the hole is too big it's disqualified fast.

Imo no piece should build up resin for too long

But then I just came out of the clean room science lab I work in after doing a weekly clean with isopropyl alcohol

yea i always inspect the bowl hole too when buying in stores but since i switched to buying from dhgate it is more of a crapshoot. the prices are so good i can buy plenty and most of the time the hole is the right size. i hate loving w screens too. in a pinch, ill use the weed material itself as screen like we discussed above.

I just use my dab tool to dig out and replace the screen when it starts to burn through. The resin is critical to keeping the metal screen in place.

You won't be disappointed. The UFO is only guaranteed for 6 months, as that's when they expect the batteries to stop working for heavy users. The UFO also felt cheap, and mine rattled, so I'm glad it was faulty and that I ended up paying extra for the Wand. Get an external charger and some 3000mah or greater 18650 batteries with a 20A or more power rating. If you keep charging in the Wand while using it, it'll kill the batteries.

How has your buying experience been? Did you have to wait forever to get your order? Any worry over leaded glass/breakage? I'm seeing like less than 20 bucks for crazy looking glass bongs on there, and I'm finding it hard to believe it'll be as good as it looks.
