Its called that because you have a new appreciation for your life after coming back from that alive… “Thank God I didn’t drop to my death!”

“I use Arch bt-”

“ITS SHiTE!”

“…excuse me?”

" YOUR BLOODY ROLLING RELEASE DISTRO IS FUCKING RAW. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU RECOOKED IT AFTER A DEPENDENCY PACKAGE BROKE?"

“B-bhut chef… Its a rolling release bleeding distro that expects users to compile with the help of a wik-”

“I ASKED HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAD TO RECOMPILE IT THIS YEAR YOU FUCKING DONKEY”

“5 times sir.”

“FIVE FUCKING TIMES??? JESUS CHRIST DID I ASK FOR CONSTANT MAINTENANCE WITH A SIDE OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS IN BETWEEN? IF I WANTED A RAW OPERATING SYSTEM I WOULD HAVE BECOME A FLAGSMAN INSTEAD OF A CHEF AND ASKED FOR A DISH OF “GENTOO”. COOK ME A REAL OPERATING SYSTEM.”

Sorry to hear your step back into the vape journey isnt starting off hot. Everyone is different some people are into vapes some prefer to stick with combustion that’s why I try to recommend cheaper vapes when people ask so they aren’t out hundreds of $ if its not for them.

For me vaping its a creeping high. The more you sesh back to back the more you feel it in the eyes and the relaxation. Instead of one or two bowls sesh it out over an hour and like six bowls to see how it creeps. Setting also matters a lot. I find that walking or basking in sunlight and bird watching in early morning really adds to the meditative relaxing affects compared to sitting in a room.

Theres a general consensus that a low temp vape sesh hits different than high temp One Hit Extraction sessions. Turn your vaporizer up to its highest setting or around 420-430f and see if that hits and different than seshing around 380f. Does your abv look light brown or pitch black? Thats how you know.

I’m hesitant to recommend another vape since your first few havent worked out. If you still interested, maybe try a dynavap next. With a torch or IH you can ride the line between ABV and ash to get the most combustion-like vapor possible without actually smoking. If a back to back OHE sesh with a dynavap tip turning your bud pitch black in one breath is still not doing much for you, I dont think much will. At least you can use it like a fancy combustion dugout. The dynavaps are a big improvement over fake cigarette dugout pipes even if you just want to smoke out of them.

Keep in mind the high you get from smoking is different because of the carcinogens and carbon dioxide inhalation. You can get similar affects holding in your breath and depriving yourself of oxygen. Dry herb vapor evaporates the terps and all the cannabanoid/hash oil in the plant while leaving all the plant matter carbon behind. Do you get similar heady highs from dabbing concentrate too? Its basically the same difference on a micro level.

Industrial hemp farms sells cbd/cbg/cbn isolate powder which is essentially diamonds in crushed up powder form as well as cbd shatter dabs. The wand can do dabs fine but the problem is stock cups and carb it comes with sucks. You need a dynavap or similar herb chamber and vape wool/Japanese cotton to get it working reliably.

It all depends on if you can control the temp. All powerful desktops and ball vapes can all combust if you set temps too high, the eq can go up to 500f easy. sometimes high temps are good for concentrate. For flower its up to user to dial in and stay within reasonable limits (395-420f) if you push that its on you.

If you wnt a terp chaser that never combust even on highest temp the arizer portables is where its at.

Sure im happy to help you out.

Arizer vtower is a good budget desktop vape similar in form to volcano though obviously not comparable beyond basic shape and some functions. You can get it on sale around 90$USD. Go a little more for arizer EQs to get blower motor for balloons, kind of gimmicky in my experience.

Dynavap is a non-electronic dry herb vape with good entry level options. Their cheapest model is 40$. You can heat it with lighter, torch, or induction heater. The all metal ones will probably last you a lifetime.

Vaphit is Chinese knockoff dynavap you can get from vape sellers like vgoodiez. They make cheap all glass stuff heated with torch and a knockoff metal m for like 20-30$.

glad to hear everything working out for you so far bizzle 🙂

I throw a bunch of vape balls on the core and turn it up to max

I leave my eq on constantly never turn it off. Did you ever mess with the timer settings to turn it off and keep the eq on all the time? I agree heatup time is a bitch but If you never turn it off it doesnt really matter once its heated.

I smoked for over a decade. As a teenager I tried pax and arizer eq but I didn’t really understand it. As an adult my first vaporizer was the arizer air max. I got it to substitute a travel dugout. Hated smoking through those fake cigarettes constant butante and pull through scooby snack inhalation.

The air max is a great terp chasing device with nice features but its not powerful and the glass stem filters with four little holes sucks. I just got a steel screen mesh stem from eds this week for 420 been wanting one for over a year.

I really liked the air max and quit smoking soo after, but it always left me feeling like there could be more. Thats when I remembered someone left their old crap in my house when they moved. Two desktop arizer EQs were just waiting to be used.

The desktop EQs were a step up. But I was never really happy with elbow packing, or the huge cyclone/connesuir bowls, or the bags. I just wasnt satisfied with stock EQ experience. Had to buy aftermarket parts from ddave and some vapes balls and some good glass to complete the arizer desktop experience.

I also got into the dynavap stuff. I needed something more powerful than the air max that could OHE. The m+ and induction heater was such a good intro to the dynaverse and since then I got some other Dyna stems to try out.

Thank you! I like to spread the word about things I feel passionate about. Theres so much crap that promises to improve your life and only a few good things that actually do. Dry herb vapes rocked my world and its my privilege to potentially be the internet comment ear worm that eventually convinces some to try the journey to see if it changes their world too.

Unfortunately just a lot of close minded individuals who are happy with what they got going on and dont understand the point or had a bad experience 10 years ago or just confuse it with cartridge vaping. Some people dont like the look of something so they refuse to ever try it. Just because it didn’t pass their vibe check. Its fustrating but thats people and stubborn tradition for you. I believe that if its meant for you, then eventually it will find a way into your life when you need it.

Been treating my insomnia with the good stuff pretty much daily over a decade. Dry herb microdose vaping and getting down the timing of the high cycle is key to maintaining tolerance in the long term.

Let’s touch on the later point quick first. Everyones different but for me being high is something like vape -> get high -> crashout(sleepy) -> (caffeine or more vaping). For me its like 30min-180mins of high followed by the crash depending on bud quality and its strains terp composition. If you can establish a time based sleep schedule to align your circadian rythm while timing the final crashout of the day at the same general time youre golden. If bedtime were 9pm I would smoke up two hours before maybe one moe hit 30 mins before bed. Usually if I’m crashing extra hit not needed.

Now for tolerance. Im going to be blunt with you, most cannabis smokers/vapers are doing it… unscientifically. The first thought is just to smoke more to combat tolerance which works OK until you run out of bud or your lungs are covered in black tar. They’ve never heard of a dry herb vape or if they did its a decade old dinosaur like the fucking pax, never considered microdosing. For som reason most never wanted to understand what the bare minimum and healthiest vaping methods is. If your burning your bud, your doing more harm to your lungs than good to your brain. Also your wasting your herb big time. Sorry, thats how it is.

The journey that these questions lead me on changed my life and truly turned the herb into dosable medicine. You want to stop building tolerance forever? You need to work your way down to 0.05g-0.10g dry herb hits green. Its effectively the smallest unit of bud for an appreciable hit. You can microdose all day and never build appreciable T. it will basically fully reset tommorow or the day after.

And guess what? All the black and brown leftover After Vaped Bud is still good for use. Its fully decarbed and chock full of CBD,CBN, and some leftover THC. Save it up in a jar and process into nighttime cannaoil sleeping pills

Any tips on sexing cannabis early?

Assuming its empty, i would take the grog oggah boogah solution of smash the blue plastic bowl down the edge of your countertop. Something will give sometime.

Otherwise, did you try twisting the bowl one direction and the plate the other? Torque is typically a more effective force than pulling for friction.

Very cool photos you been showing this week thanks for sharing zaraki

Yes! After my cheap amazon grinder died I needed a BIFL upgrade. Really happy with it served me well over the years.

Very pretty coloring im not used to such vibrant purps. Not homegrown, got it online from wnc-cbd as legal thca hemp flower. Lab tested and comes in the mail. Not sprayed eith any dynthetic crap thca is a natural cannabanoid that turns into thc when activated.

Just as good as dispo flower for way fairer pricing. This cost me 20$ for an eight cuz it was on sale figured why not try it out. Crazy times man.

I dont know it came from an ugly bud mix

I live in united states and order off online legal hemp vendors who sell lab tested thca flower and concentrates. For budget bulk I hit up Eight Horses Hemp they have the best deals for legal THCA hemp flower online this ugly bud mix came from them.

When special holidays come up and I want to indulge in some top shelf flower or concentrate then I hit up WNC-CBD I don’t know what their secret is but they grow some of the best fucking fire i’ve ever had with the indoor living soil stuff. I fully intend to grab some stuff from them in a few days to bust out for 4/20.

Also I just realized that my comment image didn’t federate across to your lemmy instance from LW yet so you might not have seen the funny red eyes graphic I made, thats what the ‘my eyes look like this’ is about.
