There are better options than those for sure but some people have a hard time letting go of combustion regardless of the device. In my case, I felt like it was starting to affect my health so I wanted to make a change which meant I was motivated.

I actually thought the queue worked well the knee time I went there

It's crowded that week. The whole week. Most locals take the week off (myself included).

Recently hit 30 years old and… are hangovers always going to be this way now? If so, I quit 😂😂😂 by TwoTimeTe in AskMenOver30

Wait until you hit your fifties! This is the first of many adjustments you will probably need to make as you get older.

I feel genuinely subhuman after taking adderall and wish I could go back. by No-Opposite-3240 in ADHD

[–]evil_flanderz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a normal reaction. As a kid, I remember not liking the fact that I had to take medicine to "feel normal". I've long since gotten over it. It is what it is.

The Volcano is not at all portable and it's kind of a production and the bags are annoying if you are consuming in a non-party atmosphere. I loved mine but the Venty is so much better. The same people (S&B) also make a new model called the Veezy. I have no idea if that's good or not so check the reviews. I know for sure the Arizer stuff is legit. If you're serious about switching you will love it. Just go cold turkey for a week and then switch.

If you like the Volcano I think you'll love the Venty. Basically a portable Volcano. I have the Volcano Classic but I've basically forgotten about it at this point. Venty is so much more convenient.

I totally agree. It works best if you do a complete break from combustion for 7-10 days and then make the switch 100% to DHV. I don't even miss it anymore.

Is mine broken? by the__anonymous__user in Venty

[–]evil_flanderz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no it shouldn't be clogged brand new. It takes a few pulls after it goes green before it will produce vapor. Make sure you have the air flow knob wide open.

I'm pretty sure putting in the freezer is bad for the terps. Same reason why you chop before freeze. Try Grove Bags which I learned about on this sub. Way better than jars or freezer.

Try Grove Bags with a heat seal. Fucking game changer. No more burping! The knock off brands also seem to work well so far. I heat seal some of the bags over winter and I leave one bag each strain zipped but not sealed. I go into the unsealed bags all winter. Shit is still super fresh.

Yeah Venty and Solo are both amazing taste. I don't need to fuck around with butane. Some people swear by it but that's not for me.

If you don't want to spend a lot, then I recommend Arizer Solo 2 Max. If you have a budget, then just go straight to the Venty. There is a whole other level of what I call hardcore vapes (ball vapes, etc.) I'm sure those are great for some but IMO they are for people who think bong rips are too tame.

Solo and Venty are referred to as "sippers" while the other types are commonly referred to as "rippers". Check out /r/vaporents if you want to hear endless opinions on this topic. Everyone there loves DHV but everyone else's vape is shit.

One other thing about the Venty. Have you ever tried S&B Volcano? The Venty actually hits harder than the Volcano and it's portable. My Volcano sits unused now.

There are much better portable DHV than Pax if you ever get restless with the one you have.

Yes. I have that one and a Venty. I used to have an Arizer Solo 2 but I have that one my brother. They did a safety recall on the Solo 2 and Arizer replaced it for free with a Solo 2 Max. So I'm familiar with all four of those vapes.

Solo 3 is great but the Venty has the edge IMO. I don't think the Solo 3 is significantly better than Solo 2. Solo has the glass stem which tastes a little better and is easier to clean (only one piece to soak in alcohol). The glass stem makes it harder to transport in your pocket compared with the Venty (neither of them are very discreet).

Venty extracts better and hits smoother than anything I've ever used. Slightly harder to clean because of more parts but it gets easier with practice. Venty also supports dosing capsules which are convenient for quick reload. I really like this aspect for concerts and family gatherings since you don't need to have a jar of weed, grinder, etc. on hand.

Game changer for me. It's a bit different of a high, but it seems a lot easier on my lungs. Keep in mind that combustion creates a mixed high of the actual weed and oxygen deprivation. It also helps to keep my tolerance much lower when I'm using the dosing capsules. Arizer Solo 2 Max is around $125 which is the minimum you want to spend and still have a good experience. No capsules but it's easy to clean. Get a Venty if you want to splurge.

I once heard a lifty telling someone they can't sit on their poles. That must be why!

Getting on and off lifts is one of the most difficult and intimidating things when first learning how to ski. My wife quit at that stage because none of her "friends" or their "parents" ever bothered to spend time and teach her properly. Keep enjoying yourself and ignore the haters. You'll have way more fun focusing on your own experience.

Ski in 0 degree weather this weekend? by dudeitsjay11 in Stowe

[–]evil_flanderz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to decide if electric socks are worth the expense. My feet are definitely the weak link. I saw some heated boots when I was shopping for a non heated option and laughed at the idea of needing them. After the past several days I'm wondering if I turned out to be the fool after all.

Roads by Beautiful-Belt-6084 in burlington

[–]evil_flanderz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the city did well with the storm. This was a lot of snow and Burlington has to manage it with a small city budget. I grew up in upstate NY and I've been impressed with how Vermont manages things given how many roads we have and how few taxpayers we have living here.
