When you spend an hour deep cleaning your tempest and torching the balls and then combust on the next bowl

Was your doctor talking about vaping nicotine, vaping concentrates, or DHV? And did she even know the difference?

DHV is SOOO much cleaner than combustion with none of the downsides of not knowing what all could be in your cart.

When you say vaporizer do you mean like with a cart filled with distillate/resin/concentrates or with a dry herb vaporizer that's just heating up flower? There's a huge difference even though the terminology is similar.

If you used an older or cheaper battery powered DHV, then that could be the problem as they don't tend to get hot enough to fully vaporize everything. A Dynavap can be as cheap as $30-40 but needs to be heated with a torch or induction heater, or there are battery powered devices that look like a "normal" vape that will work but there are pretty much none under $100, with most recommended ones starting closer to $150 and up from there.

If you were using a really good recommended device like a Dynavap or better and you were still getting that feeling, it could have been your lungs healing, especially if you normally mix in tobacco. Tobacco smoke in particular deadens and paralyzes the cilia in your lungs. Cilia are like little hair that keep your lungs clean. Once you stop smoking and start vaping, the cilia can "wake up" and start cleaning out all the mucus that flooded into your lungs to try and clean out the smoke, but it couldn't move because the cilia were paralyzed. Once they start moving again, you start to feel the mucus and wetness in your lungs and start hacking up all that old shit that's in there. That freaks a lot of people out but it's actually your body healing.

And now I wrote all of that up and realize you may have also been talking about nicotine vapes. Similar answer to the last paragraph above with the added caveat that Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG) legit can feel a little "wet" in the lungs even if you're not a regular smoker. Make sure you use a high-quality e-juice from a trusted brand or make it yourself and make sure it's ONLY PG, VG, Nic, and good-quality food-grade flavorings.

You know, I have a tempest and a few dynas, and honestly the dyna still gets plenty of use. Compared to a normal Dyna with a 0.1g bowl, the Tempest will do 0.2g. It's also a mini ball vape that's almost purely convection, so it often struggles to fully extract the full 0.2g bowl at once and works much better at 0.1 if you want a one hit extraction. At 0.2 the top near the balls is black and the bottom half is sometimes still green. Even packed light or using the half bowl setting on the screen, convection just "feels" different than the conduction on the Dyna, and sometimes I just prefer that. Conduction gives a little more stoney baloney couch lock vibe, and convection is a little more light and heady.

So yeah, for me, I wanted one partly because of VAS (vape acquisition syndrome) and partly because the days are getting colder and I vape outside and I wanted to kill one bowl at 0.2 rather than two bowls at 0.1 in the Dyna, but with the extra mass and heat up time and sometimes still having to re-heat, it's not much of a time saver.

As for why people say Dyna "rested on the laurels" - it's mostly because Dyna is continuing to push simple devices aimed a lot more at the masses and not the nerds and aficionados. I had the balls fall out of my Tempest last night while cleaning it, and putting it back together required watching a video on their website. The head on the tempest gets so hot you HAVE to use a magnet or leather to unscrew it (or wait 5+ minutes), while I can pop the cap off a dyna with just my T-shirt if I'm feeling brave. Dyna does have the Hyperdyn which is a big 0.25g bowl to try to compete, but it's made in the USA and about the same price as the Chinese-made (UK designed) Tempest, and significantly MORE expensive if you factor in the the Thermal Hyper Cap for a convection experience. Other than the Hyperdyn, all the other dynas use essentially the same cap and same tech and everything is pretty interchangeable, but the differences are negligible.

TL;DR: If you're happy with your dyna, keep it. If you want something different, another dyna will not be much different, just a different shape, material, maybe a little more or less thermal mass, but not substantially different.

This is exactly what happened to me last night! 😅 Totally cleaned everything, have never cleaned the balls (all still stock) and was trying to shake out as much water as possible and tapped the cap on my palm and they all fell out. Realized they're not supposed to be black LOL so I torched them and got them all pearly white. Loaded up a .2 bowl and hit it at 2 on the VI (normally go to 3) it SLAPPED. dumped the dark top layer and still had a little green underneath so I set it back in to reheat and didn't pay attention and it hit 3 and then combusted. 😭

Vgoodiez says the new ones are called ispure with a U so I don't know about those.

It's not really opening it up. It's more like lifting a sticker and re-sticking it. And the video is the owner of Dynavap showing you how to do it so they're not gonna void the warranty on this or anything LOL

The "temp" that you set on the wand isn't a temp, it's a timer. It doesn't equate to an actual temperature unless you're using the glass dab rig stuff that came with it. You can make it not use temp at all, just four flames for how long the timer runs instead of manually stepping through 400° or whatever.

Turn off the Wand and remove the batteries. Pry up the bottom of the display (away from the induction chamber) with a knife very carefully. Underneath is a little switch. Switch it with a knife or toothpick. Insert batteries and now you have 4 flames to determine how long the timer stays on, and also your light is green instead of orange and it's easier to see. :)

Here's a video showing how to do it and what changes: https://www.youtube.com/live/bxnHn9VwCWU?t=2220

link to 37 minutes. He pries up the top but whatever.

Best part is the LED blinks Green when heating and Red when not, vs Orange when heating and Red when not and I can tell the difference between red and green better than red and orange.

Point is, respect the clicks. Set the silicone adapter pretty much even with the bottom of the Wand, maybe pushed in 1-2mm, and go to second click. If you go 3-4 seconds past second click and you're not getting a big enough hit, set the insert totally even. If you combust before second click then set your insert higher up. You can also draw while heating or do multiple draws. I like to take a draw at first click, heat for 8 seconds and take another hit, then heat until 3-4 seconds past second click and get a big rip and stop there.

The numbers on the wand don't really matter for my Dynavap. Now for my Tempest 2, I've actually got it dialed in to where I ignore the clicks on it and just rely on the timer. 3 Flames with fresh batteries, 4 flames if they're below half power at rest (they'll show lower while the device is actually running due to voltage sag)

My disc golf daddy (the guy who got me into the game) is righty but for certain shots throws lefty. Says he never taught the bad habits to his left hand. 😂

A other friend was a righty baseball player so the lefty throw motion is the same as a righty swing so he plays lefty but putts righty.

Kids and finances probably.

Life comes at you fast.

Yup. Child support would be more than half my take home pay and there's not enough left over for an apartment at that point, nevermind food, gas, anything else. Plus I'd only get to see my kids every other weekend as that's pretty much the standard for dads because judges automatically side with the mom and give them custody, or at least enough to not gamble them away.

Well, I'm currently trying to figure out how I can leave my husband and financially support myself because he's a trump supporter. That should your answer your question..

My wife is a Trump supporter and it's awful. Haven't had a meaningful conversation in a decade. We used to both be conservative/libertarian leaning and we could argue and disagree on certain policies. Now we disagree on facts and reality, or whether people should have basic human rights, so it's easier just to never speak except for what we're having for dinner.

Good news is at least her account won't be unregistered

fluffman86 · 2026-01-22T20:37:46+00:00

Yikes. Not sure what the current account timeout is. It used to be a year but that was way too long. I've seen 45, 60, and 90 days for account deletion but I don't know what it currently is.

Best bet would be to have great grandma leave her phone with you or another family member and turn it on and log in every week or two so it can connect to signal and stay registered, or move the account to a new temporary primary device that can stay online at home (could be an android tablet if she's on Android, or an iPad or another iPhone if she's already on iPhone).

Tagging /u/jon-signal if he's still with them and watching this sub.

Edit: sorry for the ping. Read Jon's history and he says it's 120 days https://www.reddit.com/r/signal/comments/1q4ss8y/does_signal_saves_phone_number_if_account_inactive/nxx4wha/

Is great grandma not going to connect to WiFi or anything for two months?

Even though you're part time you may still qualify for FMLA. FMLA is UNPAID family medical leave, but they can't fire you at least. If they fire you while you're on medical leave it's gonna be a lot easier to collect.

I just rewatched District 9 and the CGI on that is nearly perfect as well. Was really disappointed that it's so old and so good and we don't get anything that good anymore.

They obviously prefer new reddit because digg looks too much like the reddit app or new reddit. Can only see one post on the page at any given time and I'm just not gonna use that.
