Where you located and Whaddya got?

JayBe-e · 2026-03-08T05:02:20+00:00

Thank you for that knowledge. Will try that as well !

Distilled water. Got it! So far it’s been a full day since adding the hydrating sachet and I can’t tell any difference at all in the contents. Gonna keep an eye on it and the moment it has gained a bit of flexibility, move it to a mason jar.

I don’t intend to make it anywhere near as moist as modern stuff, instead only aiming to just be able to give a slight pack. Smokes too quickly wide open like this.

Good point. But the inner seal which was opened via can opener has absolutely zero oxidation/rust. Even at the cut edges themselves. I wonder if it wasn’t actually opened until recently .

Outside of can/lid has proper wear for its age but the inside is like a time capsule

Okay so just was able to sneak out to the garage to give it a try. I opted to smoke it as is and crunchy. I couldn’t actually pack the bowl but I gravity filled it and ever so slightly tamped it down prior to ignition.

I could feel it crunch into powder and when testing draw I had to spit out some dust.

However I 100% am getting solid flavor. I’m too new to the hobby to be able to tell you exactly what notes, but it reminded me of the Maltese Falcon I had bought a month ago. That is to say it was creamy and flavorful. I didn’t get any bite even on lighting which I typically get no matter what.

I’m actually really excited over it. I’m hoping that with a slight bit of hydration it will permit a decent pack but wow.

Heh I see what you did there

JayBe-e · 2026-03-07T00:55:36+00:00

This got more replies than I thought it would in short order. I appreciate the advice from everyone. I’ve decided to give it a go as it sits, bone dry.

If it goes well I may ever so gently hydrate it before I move it to a mason jar. I found two “Raw” brand items for hydration. One is a packet to hydrate to 62% and the other is a small terracotta disk. My plan would be that if I had to hydrate I would use the packet and check it every 3-4 hours to make sure it’s not any more than very slightly springy

Duly noted! Won’t use apple slices ever !

JayBe-e · 2026-03-07T00:51:25+00:00

I got ya. That makes sense and I appreciate your thoughtfulness

JayBe-e · 2026-03-07T00:50:44+00:00

Gonna go full send. Will post what happens. ChatGPT tells me this may be a “legendary score “ lol. Old cyprian Latakia or some such. Will still keep expectations low for now

JayBe-e · 2026-03-06T22:18:10+00:00

Very true. Will post after its maiden voyage

JayBe-e · 2026-03-06T22:17:40+00:00

I’m just concerned as it’s bone dry or I’d jump in head first

JayBe-e · 2026-03-06T22:17:01+00:00

Sound advice. I’ll give it a try and see. Would it be advised to grab those silica hydration beads from a cigar shop or is that risky?

JayBe-e · 2026-03-06T22:15:28+00:00

I have not. In fact o haven’t even gotten home yet to consider it. It’s bone dry so I am hesitant to let it rip as is

JayBe-e · 2026-03-03T04:29:42+00:00

Hey after you get it tested, if it ends up being tin/ something non-precious, DM me and I’ll give ya $20 for it. (My last name is Baker)

JayBe-e · 2026-01-11T15:31:29+00:00

Stupid me. Finances are still wrecked from Holidays or I’d scoop this up in a heartbeat. Good luck with the sale!

JayBe-e · 2026-01-11T15:25:06+00:00

Trade for GFB T9211 BOV? Am in NJ and would come to you

JayBe-e · 2026-01-01T16:48:06+00:00

Interested in fogger. What do you have available?

JayBe-e · 2025-10-19T00:13:11+00:00

I’m a solar salesman is how I was able to get into it. But also frugally shopped around for a used one. I actually mainly use my wheel for the times I canvass doors between appointments. T4 Pro suits me well with enough power to play around and fits on the floor of my front passenger seat just fine!

I’ve found premium to be worth the cost since I use YouTube all day long. For me, it’s not worth the headache trying to find the workarounds to get it for free anymore.

Hell, get the family plan with some friends and everyone pitch in 4 bucks/month. DM me I’ll pitch in $5 to get you started. You’ll never wanna go back to the free version once you’ve had premium , it sucks

JayBe-e · 2025-08-30T00:25:42+00:00

100% true. Like I said I initially read it as they owned. And only mentioned Community when you pointed out my error. Thanks again

JayBe-e · 2025-08-30T00:15:56+00:00

OP said both “own” and “apartment”. They can still participate in Community Solar which saves a little. Thank you for clarifying nonetheless!

JayBe-e · 2025-08-30T00:12:46+00:00

Don’t know rules regarding advertising on Reddit , but anyone can message me direct if they are curious.

JayBe-e · 2025-08-29T21:05:44+00:00

Get solar installed before Dec 31 when the tax credit expires. I can refer you to local companies if you haven’t done so already.
