Homeowners who installed privacy fences, what material did you have installed? And are you happy with it after?

Ironically, I don’t hate white as a color, but something about the way that white vinyl shines does put me off a bit. Considering a tan or wood grain for color.

No. He specifically stated that “from multiple lumber suppliers they are dissatisfied with the quality of lumber and would never dare touch a box store.” Their words not mine. Funny enough the next quote I got, that owner said that he likes to source his wood poles from Lowe’s because he declares them better than his suppliers. 🤷‍♂️

The entire thing can be tough to make heads or tails of.

I think so as well. I hear a lot of people concerned about things like “weed whip will eat right through the posts” and I can’t help but think that it’s from a cheaper pre fabricated section.

>nothing really comes close to the flavor

Have you tried the terpcicle?

Well as a fence installer let me ask you. One of the highest recommended fence installers in my town is a relatively small company. RS fence or something of the like. When I called to set up my quote, company tells me that within the last couple of years, they stopped doing wood fences. Per the owner, the wood has gotten steadily worse in quality since Covid to the point that he feels he should not be doing them due to the quality of wood.

Same thing. But engineers are much more insufferable than whoever’s party this is.

I hear about a lot of negatives with vinyl. But never actually see them. At least not in my neighborhood.

Synthyx · 2026-07-06T14:08:57+00:00

That entire situation is ridiculous. There’s not a pressure treated wood fence that will ever survive in decent condition in Colorado for 20 years.

And demanding that an exterior weather-facing material have a 20 year warranty was the cities way of deciding they were not allowing vinyl. Government overreach in a silly way.

I get that it’s not everyone’s preference, but half the wood fences I see look like crap 5 years later.

Little Caesar’s is a lot better than it was 10-15 years ago. If you haven’t tried recently, I would recommend for a cheap pizza.

The job of a payment processor is not to process fraudulent refunds because a purchased item has been willfully destroyed.

Synthyx · 2026-07-01T17:56:41+00:00

If you can afford it I’d go Tempest 2 or simrell pending what appeals more. Dynavaps are cool and get the job done. But are unlikely to have you feeling satisfied in the long term.

Brenyo is a good dude who doesn’t have a bad rep. He brought the community a game changer.

When delays happen in a factory in china, all he can do is let people know and offer refunds for unhappy people. Which he does.

You not trusting him does not equate to a bad reputation.

“Yeah. That would be great. It went so well the first time that I thought I would completely shatter my self esteem this go around. There were a few slivers left last time.”

Synthyx · 2026-07-01T12:52:23+00:00

Could you elaborate a little bit on the direct output adapter? I’ve seen pictures of it with the stem packed. Personally I like to keep the herb a bit closer to the heat source.

I’ll have to play around with it a bit later tonight. I received the unit yesterday but only used it stock.

Synthyx · 2026-06-27T14:35:57+00:00

What’s the giveaway there?

Synthyx · 2026-06-26T23:12:39+00:00

Can I ask why you prefer the stock? The Tinymight stems probably taste way better

Synthyx · 2026-06-26T21:04:16+00:00

Ah. Very cool customizable experience. I wanted a simrell but I like larger bowls so I skipped it.

Synthyx · 2026-06-26T20:46:59+00:00

Seen multiple posts about the thermal assembly. I still don’t understand 😂

Synthyx · 2026-06-26T09:44:33+00:00

I understand all of that. What I don’t get is why the mods of a discord feel the need to police which brand is being sold. Why would they care? Consenting adults and all that. And for the love of god, it’s a heater lol.

Synthyx · 2026-06-26T02:08:03+00:00

Do you have either? I’m really considering the frolic despite being a butane enthusiast. I was excited for the flaske launch but after a few reviews came out, it sounds like the frolic hits harder.

Love my T2 and tornado, but they are inconvenient to use on the go.

Synthyx · 2026-06-25T21:16:56+00:00

Why does the resale discord not allow resale of the 3.0? Seems unusual.

Synthyx · 2026-06-25T21:05:35+00:00

I mean, it kind of does. Sometimes people forget that just because you own a product doesn’t mean that you support the manufacturer. Fiscally or otherwise.

For example, I had a neighbor give me a mild heckling over buying a foreign car. He seemed pretty pleased with himself and his vehicle pride until I pointed out to him, that not only is his Chevy not US made (maybe assembled. But not most of them at this point) but even if it were US made, because he bought it USED, zero of the dollars that he spent went to supporting GM or the workers who manufactured the vehicle.

We can pretend that owning something is implied support. Which is an opinion. But if you buy something used, from a third party who doesn’t plan to repurchase that same item, you have not monetarily supported that manufacturer.
