ok so I spent some more time with this thca weed today, and it does work, the other pack of it wasn't as bad as the first, but both taste bitter/astringent in a way I can't quite explain. I've found scant information online other than obvious plants trying to disseminate nothing but positive vibes around a clearly shady product. someone suggested that it was not sprayed but the weed is picked early to limit the thc, or is cured poorly...I'm still not convinced this stuff isn't adulterated, but the high feels pretty normal, maybe a little headachy...sad I can't just be in legal land.

THCA weed is just weed, but it sounds like they're probably distinguishing that they sprayed it with THCA or something. Unless they're actually reporting a lower THC content, they probably haven't limited the THC by picking it early or anything... THCA becomes THC when you smoke it (this is why you have to decarb weed to make edibles).

This is an example screenshot from one of my local dispensaries, that includes the full cannabinoid profile:

just packed up a couple of AVB capsules for my ~30 hours of flights from australia to qatar to italy

last time i did a long haul flight on edibles it became a sweaty, intense nightmare which at least distracted me from the fact that I was on a plane. I guess id rather be scared than bored




isn't Qatar one of those countries where if you have weed particle in your shoes they'll put you in jail for years? I'd be careful.

You need to just try it sometime, it's weed in some way but it's different tasting from any real weed I've had, and not in a great way. Also the high is there but it's a little flat. I found myself going back to regular weed yesterday evening. It really reminds me of the time I got some CBD/CBG weed and it just tasted wrong and left a campfire smell on my face after smoking it, was strange, and very different from real weed.

Also every time I try and look up the company that made the thca weed I have there's no info that's not from them directly...it's all a smokescreen for some shadiness I can sense it...anyway, today I'm doing fine no ill effects from smoking it a few times yesterday.

Got a Rogue SE and water pipe adapter. Seems quicker and more powerful than my old Arizer Solo and could be enough to get me to switch to vaping instead of smoking.

yeah the rogue is way way way easier to use than the dynavap and the results are incredible. I can rip through many capsules without making a mess or having to dig out the chamber or wait for it to cool. It's just totally better than the dynavap in every way.

fwiw, I've gotten "high THCA hemp flower" from a few different vendors over the last couple of months, and it all seems like normal weed, though the strength has varied a bit between strains/vendors of course. very satisfied with most of my purchases. I've also gotten some CBD hemp flower as well, and some stuff from one vendor was dry as hell and smelled off, but everything else I've ordered smells/looks great and vapes well. (this is in the US, to be clear.)

recently received an Airvape Legacy Pro that I got on a Labor Day sale, only used it a few times so far but it seems nice. I'll still probably use my dynavap most of the time for quick hits here and there, but it's nice to have a session vape for when I have a day off and want something I can pass to my partner without having to worry about fumbling a hot dynavap tip

capsules are mandatory for the better experience. I've got a Fury Edge and it's completely taken over the role of oil cartridges for me, produces good vapor, there's legitimately no mess if you're putting whole unground bud in the capsule (which you should be doing) and it's extremely under-the-radar since it just looks like a box mod vape thing

word of warning, the fury and the rogue are FLOWER ONLY. if you were to get oil into them it wouldn't be possible to clean out the base part.

Neat!

You can do little dab/flower sandwiches in the caps if you keep the amount of concentrate small. I've done that before. Very small amount though. That new POTV Lobo looks interesting too. Rogue/Edge with a removable battery.

And using the Rogue caps with my XQ2 has become my primary method at home. The Rogue caps fit into the basket screen in the 18mm F/M adapter. Then I replaced the tornado bowl with a shorter 18mm F/F adapter.

Works nice. Easy to clean. Fast to reload. For my use, pretty ideal as a desktop.

it makes the cleanup MUCH easier but also you're not losing anything off of the bud when you ground, i.e. kief and poo poo. But mostly it makes clean up hella easy

But the little shovel that comes in the Fury Edge capsule kit is so nice, you can't convince me skipping grinding is better because then you don't get to shovel ground up weed into dosing capsules

If I'm not using capsules, I do sometimes put a full nug in my POTV one. Then after that unground nug is cached, I take a toothpick and break it up inside the bowl. Then I get one or two more good hits out of it. So, I do think you lose some potential vapor if you do unground nugs. If you're saving the AVB and making something out of it, then I guess you get that back in your tincture/oil/edible/whatever.

I upgraded my mini globe bong while I wait for the painfully slow shipping of my flowerpot, and added around 800 x 6mm glass beads to it. Less water means less terp loss, and the balls hugely increase the diffusion which gives some impressive cooling. It'll turn any mediocre bong into an incredible bong

I’m running a globe dry with my ball vape. I figure the less obstacles for the vapor, the less potency lost. The only place I really see golden resin buildup is at the elbow of the 90degree whip adapter.

I have delicate lungs, so I still need water + cooling if I don't want to have a huge coughing fit.

I don't mind resin buildup, as I wash the bongs out first using something called 'Cuplitt Dipping Solution' - a ~95% food grade alcohol used by icing artists, and make some potent tinctures over time. It's as close as us brits can get to Everclear without going blind or costing a 2nd mortgage to get.

Simrell FMJ or equivalent is the best cheapest dynavap upgrade. Basically mandatory IMO.

For the electric heater thing, you want the Inspire wand.

Surprisingly useful but not mandatory is the "bonger" adaptor for the orb and dynavap tip.

Peak dynavap setup is roughly this:




But I'm experimenting with the vaphit mini bubbler as well:





Which works. Not sure if I like it more than the orb, but it's ok as well and cheaper than an orb.

I love how natural laughter is when I'm high. When I'm sober, laughing is like switching states. (e.g. normal state to joy state then back to normal) But when I'm high, my normal self and more joyful self are blended together so everything is just more easy....(?)

I can think of several times where weed has stolen the joy from the event. Like a great event, maybe a celebration. Then I smoke some weed to celebrate... and everything changes.
