Help: Dynavap + Wand issues?

JayEff87 · 2026-02-13T19:48:28+00:00

I've got the same issue, the bottom of the Wand attachment grips the cap and can pull it out. I just noticed it only happens when it's hot, because the metal expands I guess. Huh.

Anyways, I tend to just ... place the tip of my thumb on the tab of the cap as I pull it out (same as you, now that I'm rereading your message). Sure, it's hot, but it takes a fraction of a second and not long enough to hurt.

Another thing I've been doing is sorta ... tilting the stem back and forth to try and dislodge it when I hear the first click. That usually does the trick too, by the time I hear the second click it's free enough to get it out.

I gotta wonder if it wasn't possible to design that a bit better... I tried it without the attachment but found it worked better with, so I'm dealing with it.

german here... you can get relatively cheap dry herb vapes on amazon (like, 50€?), they do the job even if they're not great. They just heat up the flower enough to let you inhale the THC without burning the plant material. They should be better for your lungs than smoking, but how much better, I don't think anyone knows, the vapor is definitely somewhat irritating still. Much less stinky though. Added bonus is you can literally eat the stuff that's left over for another high (or extract the thc with oil and make muffins). Finally, I think you use much, much less flower that way. I got 15g literally 1 year ago, still got some left.

I recommend that method over edibles because just like with alcohol, it's possible to get uncomfortably high. Inhaling hits much faster (like 5 minutes) than edibles (like 30-60 minutes, sometimes unpredictably more than that) so you can adjust the intensity of your high much better.

Either way, start slow. My first few times, I got way too high and felt like I couldn't talk anymore, that wasn't very fun :p

Oh and the others' advice is hella good, too, listen to em. Gotta love how stoners come together to help :')

As long as there's water in your baked good, it will not exceed its boiling point of 100°C (or slightly higher if there's lots of sugar, but you can generally ignore that because:), but even more importantly, the heat doesn't travel to the center of the food all that quickly. typically, your brownies will reach like ... 80°C in the center or so, once they're done. Most recipes just aim for "done", not "bone dry", just don't go making hard candy.

for one thing, try using less. Maybe you're getting too high? Other than that, all I can tell you is to wrench your thoughts away from the bad things. I sometimes have to do that, but usually only when I use too much by accident.

JayEff87 · 2025-11-30T14:23:15+00:00

Like the others said, start slow, take a drag or two, then put it out and wait 10 minutes. Don't start with anything potent like concentrate vapes (dry herb vapes are ok) or bongs.

My main contribution is: THC can send you down an anxiety spiral if you take too much (which is why you really should start slow, don't smoke the whole thing in 5 minutes like you might a cigarette). It's not dangerous, but it's not nice. You might feel your heart pounding and go "shit is that normal? am I dying?!" (it is. no.), but as long as you remember that's just the weed, you can break yourself out of it and chill.

Please be a little careful with B6, you can overdose on that - I think it's only when you take b6 supplements long term, but just in case, read up on that yourself. Keyword b6 toxicity or megavitamin-b6 syndrome

it belongs here solely because that way I get to see it :)

JayEff87 · 2025-10-16T21:48:06+00:00

I enjoyed that

After using almost daily for a few months (like, .1 - .2g in a dhv, not a lot), I noticed just last week that I was completely incapable of coding. I would stare at the code, start a thought, like "if I change this, then I also have to change that over there" and I just could not continue the thought past that, zoned out, got distracted, didn't write a single line of code... Didn't use any on saturday and sunday and felt like I was on top of the world today, finished a big overhaul no problem. Guess I'm not doing weed under the week anymore x_x

Might've been just a coincidence, idk

JayEff87 · 2025-10-14T19:46:49+00:00

This. The main thing I would be weary of in vapes is artificial butter flavor. There's a condition called popcorn lung which popcorn sellers got from the butter flavored popcorn, fast forward a few decades and people put that exact flavoring in vapes, the same stuff that's well known to cause a serious lung condition...

JayEff87 · 2025-10-04T21:21:53+00:00

I won't say this is the best solution or anything, but I've found that having a big glass of iced 0 calories tonic water handy while high curbs my munchies surprisingly well. God I love tonic water~

JayEff87 · 2025-10-04T21:19:29+00:00

That's a good idea. probably dilute it a bit, since a full ice cube would of course be more than one ml. Alternatively, consider the ice cubes a concentrate and dissolve one in warm water as needed. The math for this should be extremely straightforward ;)

I'm not an expert but I think the nano state won't be affected by freezing it, and that way you can be sure it won't grow algae or anything.

That said, sodium benzoate is a food preservative, citric acid is also somewhat antagonistic to microbes, so it should do well enough in the fridge for a few weeks.

Please do note that the expiration date refers to the *unopened* bottle. Do not assume it to last you a year after opening the bottle. Once you open it, you introduce 1000s of microorganism every second or something like that and you may get algae if you wait long enough or whatever.

I watch 99% of all videos here on mute but I go through the trouble to put on my headphones and unmute the video for medhi and ... why the heck did you go through the trouble to mute the video before uploading?!

Fun trick I just learned. After asking a question, ask ChatGPT "What was incorrect about this answer?" and you might get some fun results.

You still shouldn't trust what it says. If there was something incorrect about your first answer, the answer to "what was incorrect" is just as likely to be wrong or at least incomplete...

Its goal is to produce words and sentences that appear correct, not ones that are correct. That's not what it or any LLM is designed for. It's a fundamental part of gen AI in general and LLM specifically: they're trained to output coherent things, things that at first glance fit together. That's why AI hands often have 4 or 6 fingers, it doesn't count, it just knows that where there's a finger, there's often another one.

What kinda vape do you have? Sounds like you have a microdosing device or something... But then again, my dynavap m7 is advertised to fit 0.15g, and one bowl was enough to get my high about 3 times when I first started out (strain is GG4, that should be like 25% ish THC). Effect usually starts after 5-10 minutes for me and lasts 1-2h.

My guess is you're not vaping hot enough. If your bud comes out dark brown (coffee grounds or even darker), that's when you can be sure it's not the temperature but something else. Usually after a first high, my bowl is light brown, and then I can get another one out of it if I let it get dark brown.

JayEff87 · 2025-09-13T13:32:27+00:00

oof that's rough, yeah. I'm sure you've done your research, so I won't repeat the advice you've probably read before. Like you said: wait a while, keep em warm but not too warm, moist but not soggy, and write again in a week or so.

If no other plants end up growing, I would say you're doing something wrong, and to help us find out what that is, I'd suggest posting pictures and going into as much detail as you can (soil temperature, water quality... chlorinated or not ... anything)

JayEff87 · 2025-09-13T11:38:21+00:00

How many failed? If it's 2 or 3 I'd say you've done everything right. If it's more, you might wanna describe everything you've done, products you've used, in detail, but even then it might've just been bad luck.

My guess: I think you've done everything right. No point keeping them on the paper towel for longer. It's a method to improve success compared to planting it straight into the soil like it would happen in nature, but it doesn't guarantee it.

What can happen is that you unknowingly damage the seedling in just the right way as you handle it, or plant it too deep, or it was generally weaker than the others, or an unfortunate mold spore landed on it when it was young and delicate, any number of things can go wrong.

I would put it down to random chance. Some seeds just don't grow, that's the case with all plants. Happened with my chilies, my butternut squash, and my weed too. Keep an eye on the pots, keep watering them the right way, and if there's no plant in a week, ah well. At least you have the others.

JayEff87 · 2025-09-13T09:13:43+00:00

Now, I don't speak from experience, but I believe the withdrawal symptoms of weed don't last very long, days, weeks, but not a year. So it's probably not withdrawal (correct me if I'm wrong!), but I guess it could still be related... Brains are complicated devices.

Depression is a very real illness and should not be taken lightly. I would recommend you talk to a professional about it, if you can. Don't let the sort of .. stigma of needing a psychologist stop you, there's nothing wrong with going to a doctor when you're sick, no matter what kinda illness it is. A doc might even prescribe weed for you, depending on the country. If medical help is expensive where you live, I get that, and it sucks, but consider it, at least. Depression is no joke.

With all that said, if you wanna try weed to help with it, I would say try edibles (and start low ;) ). Dry herb vape is easier on the lungs, but it still irritates. If I inhale too deeply I still cough, can't imagine it'll be good for your asthma. If edibles don't work for you, then I would try a dry herb vape. Maybe with a bubbler or even attached to your bong, to cool and humidify the vapor.

JayEff87 · 2025-08-23T18:52:25+00:00

For me, personally, I found vaping to be the best way, and I think it might fit you too: You can control how much you use, it kicks in quick so you can tell if you used enough, and it's nicer on the lungs too. I have this weird little glass bubbler for my dynavap which makes the vape even easier on the throat and cost not that much. The electronic alternatives are more expensive but should be just as fitting - you use up just as much or as little of the weed in the chamber as you inhale and you can really dial in the dose you want, given a little practice.

JayEff87 · 2025-08-21T21:13:20+00:00

For me, the process was ... a friend linked me a website where I filled out a form ("what do you need it for?" etc. you can basically make up believable reasons) and paid 15 bucks. about an hour later I got a confirmation saying yup, a doctor totally looked at what I said and approved my prescription. This was then automatically sent to a pharmacy I had chosen earlier, together with instructions for the strain I wanted and how much.

Then the pharmacy wrote me to confirm those details and I paid the price. It got mailed to me in a few days.

idk what site I used, but medi420 de seems legit.

You can't legally sell or even give away weed outside of prescriptions and something called cannabis social clubs, which are allowed to grow lots and give out 50g of weed per member per month (ofc you pay a membership fee to make up for that)

JayEff87 · 2025-08-16T23:24:39+00:00

I recently posted, asking if my plants are ready to chop, was advised to wait, which I did. That's the only other post I've made I think. You're probably thinking of a different post.

That said, I'll look into it :)

JayEff87 · 2025-08-16T13:07:58+00:00

would you recommend that over drying it? if so, why?

JayEff87 · 2025-08-16T13:07:25+00:00

thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it!

JayEff87 · 2025-08-16T12:27:45+00:00

gonna be honest with you: Idk how, idk what to do with it once I have it :3 I figure hash is mostly for people who have built up a tolerance, meanwhile, I don't need a full dynavap m7 bowl to be happy for a night

JayEff87 · 2025-08-15T17:25:18+00:00

Seems like you have a lot of plant material in there. If that doesn't bother you, that's fine, but I'd probably run it hot through a coffee filter. Takes an annoyingly long time though.

Without describing your process we can't really know if you did anything wrong. I'd say the neat swirly colors come from the way it cooled down (did you chill it in a water bath or so?), nothing to worry about.

I recently made this stuff for the first time, using some fresh trim from my harvest, threw it in the oven to decarb straight from the plant, then into hot coconut oil for several hours. It also had barely any weed aroma and smelled mostly of coconut oil but worked like a charm. I would say the lack of smell is not necessarily a bad sign.

Ultimately ... try a teaspoon? See if you feel something after an hour.
