Man I hated the Starry, it would get clogged up so easily and was a huge PITA to clean

But yeah, weed vapes are extremely great, and more efficient, and don't smell nearly as much

The trick with most vapes and definitely the Starry is to take all the ‘stuff’ out the head and replace it with a little bit of gauze. If it stops bits getting in your mouth, and you can clean it with fire, it’s all you need. By god I miss skinning up though. I loved rolling joints so much.

Edit: what a snipe! Have a pic of some fossil turds I found in the village stream yesterday.

E: ^^^^ have you tried vaping that

Big recommendation for the Pax range of weed vapes which allow me to get absolutely blazed anywhere no problem. On the lowest temp I'm pretty sure you wouldn't smell anything if you're more than a few feet away

This might be wrong but aren't cannaboloids only fat-soluble, unlike nicotine which is water soluble. And putting anything other than flavoured water in your vape is how you end up with popcorn lung and vaping which is actually dangerous to your health.

Seconding Stu on the Dynavap. It’s staggering how efficient they are, and the form factor is close enough to a joint or cig that they scratch that mental itch too.

The one downside- heating a metal cigarette with a torch lighter can make you look a bit crack-heady, but you can get induction heaters (like the one in Stu’s pic there) to make the whole thing totally flameless and silent.

…really should pick one of them up at some point actually.

And yeah, if you’re white and can speak well pigs don’t give a poo poo. Almost exactly a year ago my friend and I had the cops roll up on us on a back road in forestry commission land (somehow!) while we were not only finishing a joint but also both dressed as cowboys and carrying guns. Had absolutely zero problems whatsoever after I employed my best public school accent, told them I was the one smoking and wasn’t driving, etc etc etc.

Though tbf I am known amongst my friends as a pig-whisperer in general. Had similar things happen multiple times throughout my life.

Weed vapes either use extracted cannabis oils or dry herb. While you /can/ get thc vape juice you generally will use a different attachment than the standard tank.

The cartridges in cannabis vapes contain pure extracts, not a dilute like nicotine vapes

Welkum tü Zanydu!

I used to live in a Hackney council estate, low rise mansion block type, and the place generally had a pretty reliable weed aroma backdrop. Just one of those things, we stopped partaking ourselves in Covid but had certainly contributed to joints out the window effect.

Last summer I was coming down the stairs to take the dog out and three coppers were coming up and asked me (white middle aged goon) about ‘antisocial behaviour on the estate’ which delighted me as I did have a real issue of contention with how residents treated the recycling bins as a general waste dumping platform rather than something to put rubbish *into*.

Yes, bins. I know. So I laid that all out.

They interrupt me to ask ‘well we mean, what about cannabis smoking, any noticeable smells…?

I gesticulate around and say ‘oh right, yeah, well of course, I mean it is Hackney’

‘Coming from any flat in particular…?’

‘Nah sorry no idea, anyway dog’s gotta piss’

No idea what a trio Smells Taskforce was going to accomplish. Bins were still a right state when we left.

Cartridges for weed vapes, really? I’ve never seen such a thing. The instructions often talk about “dabs” and I have no idea what that is either. I fill mine with bits of an actual plant one of my neighbours grows in a suspiciously whitewashed greenhouse on the allotments.

Edit: or buy it from the madman who lives in the woods of course. The normal ways of getting weed.

The cartridges just screw onto standard 510 threaded connectors. Tend to be very low wattage, so basically any 510 battery or mod from the past decade will work with them. They’re not a huge thing over here yet that i’ve seen, with most being imported from the states.

Personally I really like them for discretion or when you need something on the go- as they’re sealed units they don’t smell unless you hit them (and even then it’s not a very strong weed smell) and the small form factor is very handy.

I believe there are pharma produced cartridges available via UK private prescription, but I'd be very wary buying black market cartridges. Many of those are THC8 rather than THC9 based which while THC8 is nice, it isn't natural, and achieved by washing CBD in nasty chemicals then washing those nasty chemicals out. Traces of those nasty chemicals will still remain. Any flavourings in THC8 cartridges will be artificially added, so there's also the risk of vaping whatever those flavours are.

Until there's a safe regulated market in the UK, it's best to stick to herbal vaping.

Weed smells kind of nice if you pick it up on the breeze when you go outside, but can we all agree that skunk has a different smell, and if you're burning it with the windows open after a heatwave making your neighbour's room stink for a day or two, you're an arsehead.

Nope. Skunk is just one of the early stable strains of high THC cannabis which many of today's strains directly stem from. It doesn't have a distinct smell, and there will be many strains that smell like it.

I do agree with your point that you are an rear end in a top hat if you stink out someone else's home though.

e: Skunk#1 was a strain that came from the Sacred Earth Seedbank in the US, a cannabis seed swapping community that had been sharing and archiving since the 1940's. That operation got taken down by an undercover DEA informant who got the seedbank operators as well as the majority of their major customers arrested. The DEA informant then took the entire seedbank and moved to Holland where he helped run the Cannabis Cup for a few years. He then got many of those winners arrested, then started a company where he licensed Skunk#1 to pharmaceutical companies..... Google 'Sam the Skunkman'.... Skunk#1 is the plant used by GW Pharmaceuticals for their Sativex cannabis spray.

"This is a bit of a... a poof song"
I'm a semi regular weed user (used to be daily, now a couple times a month since I had kids) and I've always found the smell revolting. I think this might have something to do with a VERY bad experience I had with brownies when celebrating finishing my GCSEs, though...

I quite enjoy when I notice kids smoking it round here though, as I can give a sensible chuckle and savour the fact it'll be annoying a Daily Mail reader somewhere nearby.

There is definitely some weed smells that are gross as all hell. Personally I just keep walking until the smell goes away.

Speaking as someone who grew up in a very posh part of London, I was pretty much the only person my age I knew who /didn’t/ smoke up in their parent’s garden/shed/greenhouse/kitchen/whatever on the reg. I came to weed in my early 20s with all the passion of a late convert.

Of course this also meant I started out smoking insanely good named strain stuff from my brother’s friends. Took me years to find a source that equalled the quality after I moved out.
