If you have a keurig and a re-usable pod, you can put in a tablespoon of virgin coconut oil and a tablespoon of finely-ground AVB mixed in along with the coffee grounds when you go to brew a cup. French press is also suitable. It works better with a drip coffee machine, but messier to clean out due to the oil. The high ranges from a mild buzz to a joint-level.

Dry herb vape pulled through a bubbler is the best weed experience money can buy

100% truth. Got water adapters and bubblers for both my main vapes and they make the experience so much more enjoyable without the harshness or throat irritation. They significantly cool down the vapour without having to turn down the vape temp, allow you to take enormous hits, and gets you even higher than dry hot air. The only downside is that the flavour is diminished and the vapour is not as visible, but if you're looking to get wrecked then it's not really a big deal.

Yep. Tinctures are a good compromise between the speed of inhalation and the effect of an edible. Everclear in my neck of the woods is unobtainable unless you drive to the next-door province or are a doctor/nurse.

Went to the Vacounver 4/20 "protest." It was absolutely beautiful out and everyone was pretty happy out there, but I think legalization made it irrelevant. I haven't been to one since they moved from the Vancouver Art Gallery, but it felt more like "black market day" given how cheap and how dirty the products there were. There were no brand-name things and it was all of the questionable-type of things being sold out of ziplock bags and mason jars. I can see why the corporate side of things doesn't want anything to do with things there. I had a good time but it felt like it was stuck in the 90's with nothing but sugary junk food and every stereotype you could think of, but seeing Cypress Hill play for free was really dope. All 400 tents that they had were all selling identical products; if you went to one, you went to them all. The old hippies were there hollering away about conspiracy theories and elite cabals controlling everything, but the came off more like the cartoon mascots that are brought out at a half-time show. Things have moved on from their time and it kind of bordered between boring and dystopian, as an event. Got a full oz. for $80 and god knows how much mushrooms. I was really surprised to see salvia, shrooms and acid being sold open at a shop stall like that but I'm not complaining. Think the two things that stuck out for me was the fat lady that was dressed up as a light bulb and the guy that was selling DMT from a backpack in front of the police.

I had no idea what the little hole you put your thumb over actually was, so whenever I smoked I'd just leave my thumb there the whole time. Last night was a really long night on account of getting entirely new highs.

Us Vapcap users just found out the opposite with our devices: the carb hole is not actually designed to be a carb hole and you're supposed to use the thing with the hole open to cool the vapour. I find that it works a lot better this way too.

I have a few vapes and the Storz and Bickel line up are still my favourite. It’s expensive but the Mighty is still my go-to vape for the quality of vapour and how cool it is even at high temps. It just sucks poo poo to clean it out.

The Arizer series are the best for low-maintenance. They are probably one of the most well-rounded vapes I have used and the different glass and water attachments you can get for 'em make them very versatile. I found overtime that the stems were not cooling the vapour as well as I liked though compared to some other vapes, but if you don't want to clean things often I'd recommend any of them with exception to the V-Tower.

Just tell the doc you have IBS and that you found that pot helps ease the discomfort. I think you will be ok so long as you don't have a record of psychosis or schizophrenia. My cannabis doctor made it easy by leaving out leaflets of what qualifies for the medical stuff and what symptoms to tell the doctor to get it prescribed, regardless of whether you have an underlying issue or not...

Vaping and Cigarette Smoking Could Be Equally Likely to Cause Lung Disease

Any reason for concern for someone that uses THC vapes, or is it highly unlikely it would do anything?

It included THC in the article there but doesn't say if its oil or dry vape. I really don't trust the oils or anything with propylene glycol; they were really never meant to be heated up to high temperatures in the first place. I would be concerned if you use it frequently. There's always edibles, capsules and tinctures.

It's a PAX3. Even when I think I'm using it right, it doesn't feel like I'm actually smoking anything.

I use a Mighty vape mostly and have found that it doesn't feel like smoking at all and has a few differences. Most of the time the vapour is a transparent blue and feels like slightly warm air entering my throat and takes maybe up to 10 minutes to feel the full effect of the high. I like doing 356 F on it and 3 second inhales, but if you aren't feeling anything then crank the thing up to about 375-392.

Do not suck in a vape and then hold in a lungful of smoke. That burns and irritates your lungs. You will get the exact same high if you mix in a ton of extra air into your lungs before you hold it. Literally, suck in a tiny 10% lung capacity hit of smoke, put the vape down, suck in 90% of clean air, and then hold it. You will have a much better life. You can repeat as many times as necessary and you will get just as stoned off of just as much weed but without any coughing or irritation.

The plus is that as long as your stoned as gently caress you wont care about the throat. It may take an extra week to heal......but you can spend 3 week high and not caring or 2 weeks of misery.

Bad advice. Always care for your lungs and throat if either are compromised.

What you want instead are tinctures and oil droppers until you’ve healed up. You can even take cbd ones for the pain!

I can usually go at it again later at 400-415 and get a decent buzz, not quite as good as the first but definitely something. I'm not sure if that means I'm just not doing it quite right the first time.

350-385 F, or 180 to 195 C.

A lot of people's bodies can't handle digesting the mostly-raw vegetable matter in ABV, hence why its a better idea to put it in a fatty substance of some kind. I keep reading that people should also add soy lecithin to it because it binds to the stomach better, but it seems like BS to me because lecithin is mostly for allowing emulsification of water and fat together and decarbed weed & abv aren't water soluble. I tried both ways and didn't notice a difference, yet all the guides on the internet keep recommending it.

is there anything the Ardent Nova Decarboxylator can do that a toaster oven and some tin foil can't?

It hides a lot of the smell so that its only a single room that smells and not the entire apartment complex. You can put it in a cupboard drawer and it will hide the smell completely. The thing is way overpriced but it toasts your weed *perfectly* and you don't have to ground it up beforehand. You can also infuse oils and butter in the thing too.

Get it on a 4/20 sale. I got mine for $150 Canadian and I still feel it was slightly overpriced, but it does exactly as it is advertised.

The smell was a big problem when I did the oven with mine and I found the Nova did a better job regardless and I could just set it and forget it. I didn't want a repeat of it happening but if you live in a detached house then the jar technique is probably fine.
I don't regret the purchase at all and I've used it probably about 50 times or so with both concentrates and weed. Still I think it shouldn't be more than $120 at most.

I thought temperatures at boiling would cook off the thc, hence why they tell you to barely have the bubbles be moving when you're making cannaoil or cannabutter. How does decarbing it not remove most of the thc?

Educate me weed friends

THC doesn't reach boiling point until 311 F or so. Most of the THC is in THC-A form which, when heated between 140 and 250 F, knocks the little acid molecule out and turns into THC. There is a lot of debate about what the best temperature is and how long to bake/cook it for, though.

whats the best portable dry herb vape

I'll give you 3 categories of dry herb vapes that I'd recommend: portability, price, quality (flavour)

Portability: Dynavap series. It's a bitch to get going outdoors and it recommends a butane torch, but its super portable.
Price: Dynavap for butane powered, Arizer series (Any of the ArGo, Air or Solo series) for battery powered. Arizer series use glass and you *will* break a tube or two if you take it out of the house frequently. I think I broke about a glass tube a year.
Quality: Storz and Bickel's Mighty. The taste is out of this world and is one of the few vapourizers out there that could probably pass off as an actual "aromatherapy device." Best vapourizer I've ever used, but most expensive.
I don't recommend getting a vapourizer that requires a phone application for basic functionality, either.

I feel like my glass gets dirty as hell really fast, so forget cleaning it daily. I'll usually clean my glass once a week with isopropyl alcohol and kosher salt. Haven't had anything else work quite as well.

That sounds about right. It was weekly cleaning for me when I was a heavy user. If I waited any longer then the amount of gunk that builds up would become too difficult are require multiple iso soaks.

180 C for the majority of it on the Mighty. When there is no more vapour, I'll boost it to 195 C for a minute the little bit that's left off.
If I had to choose one temperature to stay at, though, it'd be 180.
