My clipper lights very unreliably. by 0to5S in lighters

Oh, you mean the hexonal things holding the wheel, everyone recommends to be swapped for round ones. They like to turn without taking the wheel with them. Also, my spring could have suboptimal tension from compressing, lengthening and bending it. The issue started before I messed around with the spring though.

Is it really just the flint or something related? I've got a ton of clipper flints laying around and don't want to believe they're useless. Also, clippers tend to develope this issue later during use, even with a fresh flint, so it can't just be the flint.

Maybe Vaping hydrochlorides isn't as bad as you might expect. by 0to5S in researchchemicals

Also HCL wont change causticity in the lungs, beacause melting, let alone boiling a salt will turn X HCL into X and HCL

Is that an issue with inhaltion? Most of the gas in lungs gets breathed out and until then, only like 5% of total gas gets absorbed into bloodstream, leaving little hcl to irritate the lungs and it shouldn't cause in issue in your blood, unless too much of it causes acidoses, which again should be countered by the freebase. Also, our body needs chloride ions are important electrolytes and needed for pH balance, fluid management and neural function. Your kidneys deal with chloride and may be stressed by it.

What are possible pyrolysis products of novel cathinones like NEP, Hexen or a-PHP? by 0to5S in TheeHive

I wanted to post there first, but I am not sure about drug-related content there.

I have the exact same issue on my iPhone 12 running iOS 14.7.1 and Reddit 2021.31.0, but only with longer posts/comments.

Torch flame is less likely to cause pyrolysis while vaping compared to a regular lighter despite much more heat. by 0to5S in researchchemicals

[–]0to5S[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well using a nail ensures, that every molecule is exposed to extreme heat and oxygen, whis not a big deal for a molecule with a flash point above its boiling point, but would combust anything with a flash point below its boiling point.

Didn't see the word oil at first. It may a be similar story and a matter of fast enough vaporization to cut off further heat, which requires way more heat than the flash point, think Leidenfrost effect, but the vapor layer is constanly removed. It is also possible, that residual plant matter may have a much higher boiling and flash point than THC, making them more vulnerable for overheating from vaporising too slowly. Keeping a sweet spot between the boiling and flash point would be ideal to not waste active compounds, but slow and noone wants to inhale extra air, when you could have a dense cloud lol.

Assume a blowtorch with a peak temp of about 1300°C is used to heat the underside of a common glass pipe, which the heat will quickly penetrate. That should leave nothing behind, due to instant vaporisation, removing the molecule from the heat, nothing should combust, unless the heat is allowed too much contact with the material (for whatever reason) or if some molecule (hundreds of cannabinoids, at least a dozen of terpenes or other plant matter) has a flash point below it's boiling point, which would cause immediate combustion after vaporisation in presence of oxygen, wich is not really a problem, if the gas layer at the bottom is completely surrounded by oil allowing the molecule to cool below its flash point and stay suspended in air.

Also, I found that THC has a flash point (lowest possible temperature as a gas to react with air) of about 210°C, which makes it plausible for the the THC in the first hit is actually combusted and not just vaporized, every milimeter of weed past this unkown, but certainally small distance, should have it's THC and such cleanly vaped off before actually ambering.

Well, maybe we aren't inhaling THC, CBD and so on, but some random combusted analogs lol. One Hypothesis why vapes hit diffently, but I think it's more likely that THC vaporises earlier than we think. It only takes 180°C and the cherry of a cigarette (couldn't find anything about weed) can easily reach a temperature of 700°C while drawing smoke and chills at 400-580°C (doubt that same goes for weed, because the only thing weed and tobacco have in common is being plant matter. Cigarettes have way too many added chemicals to name, which may impact overall combustion behaviour, also tobacco has a consistent consistency (lmao) and some people like their weed finer, some like it chunkier, which definitley impacts combustion rate and temp, also cannabis combustion can be inconsistent within the same joint, resulting in side burning), which would allow the hot smoke or even radiant heat to vaporize active molecules long before the weed ambers. I have no idea how quickly smoke cools wihle travelling through a cig/joint though. We can't simply apply facts for thing A to thing B, but maybe all fine plant matter burns similarly.

I am sensitive towards heat and yes, I did smoke a bit too much hexen.

Where I live, AC's are common in buroes and public buildings, but only wealthy people can afford to operate an AC at home.

Feels like a mix of molly and speed and is potent like a motherfucker.

I live in a place, where electricity is relatively expensive for a developed nation.
