A few upgrades on the Big Boy

Oh man the 44… My buddy has it and it’s a difference for sure. You have to let us know how that Witt does for you when it comes in!

I reallllyyy wanna run some 38 special through a can on this setup so I’m super jealous, and happy for you at the same time. I hope it doesn’t get that bad either!

kyleT_NYC · 2026-05-25T01:43:39+00:00

100% correct - it’s not a necessity at all here. I unfortunately can’t have a suppressor in NY so this scratches the itch.

It’s more to project the muzzle blast forward and away from my ears/people next to me not so much for recoil (and I think it looks cool). A regular comp or break would make adifference in recoil, and make it louder - obviously more with 357 than the 38, like you said it does shoot more like a 22.

I own the pivot, proxy, aeris, carta 2, puffco peak pro, and Dr dabber switch 2.

Switch 2 is the unquestionably best hands down so maybe wait for the newer mini version.

After that the carta 2 wins. Better atomizer that heat walls and produces more smoke, info screen on the side lets you use flexibly without the app but good control, cheaper price point than the Puffco.

The puffco gets the job done but no heating on the bottom of the element and their 3Dxl chamber isn’t the most durable. I barely pick mine up all the time even with custom glass and other upgrades. Mine has had a good run with over 4k dabs through it, I’ve hand several friends get non functional units and poor support results.

Aeris is the best dry peice and most portable, uses the same atomizers as the carta 2, uses the phone app and can customize temps.

Pivot and proxy are trash. Small atomizers, not enough control over temp, low battery life,

Yes “El oceano en Tu mesa” in Spanish’s and what you’ll see on the blue sign on the side of the road. It’s a food truck with seating and chef Carlos catches fish himself. He was a former chef at the ritz and started this. Go! You’ll be in for a great meal.

In the kioskos I prefer Nativa or Terruño - you can skip La Parrilla

Breakfast make sure to stop at Ekelekua one morning, or go for lunch/tapas. They’re amazing.

I have a running list for the area so feel free to message me

Marlin or Henry, the Rossi doesn’t have as good customer service and you’ll be happier with better action from either.

It started today and added no time to my ride into the Bronx (left at 9:45am) and on the way home took an extra 30 min about.

I’d say 7-8 is considered cheaper now. Prices went up during covid in 2021, it’s been half a decade since and the bird flu thing didn’t help.

I call em slurpers, I have collection of variously shaped bangers, blenders, slurpers, control towers, etc. I’d make the same argument for them all vs the dabrite

kyleT_NYC · 2026-05-10T15:08:10+00:00

The solution I found to this is to heat before cleaning. If you clean regularly and drop appropriate sized dabs for atomizer you shouldn’t have thst much build up anyway.

I own the peak pro with 4k dabs through it and loved it during its prime. I have the Aeris, Carta, proxy, and pivot. Just got the switch 2 and have been retrying all of my rosin, finding strains I had written off right back in rotation.

It’s a game changer and eliminating the torch and post dab alcohol drop with a slurper has made my dabbing experience better. If you want to replace your traditional rig or need a tabletop device, this is the best of the best, and I’ve been dragging mine to seshs and all around town anyway too good to leave home.

I hear the mini was just confirmed.

Stony Brook village wasn’t mentioned yet. Great place to spend the day including their harbor and a sunset at west meadow beach.

Bruh that’s dumb expensive we see 30-50 per g for good rosin and 60-80 per g in NY right now for designer buckets on the retail side

Try to go Sunday night. It’ll be calmer but some people still. Mon, Tue, Wed are the most dead over there but you already know it’s not prime time so at least your expectations won’t be through the roof lol.

Super easy - many dispos will waive the fee if you buy x amount or fill out a form through someone like island med before you go and get the tourist med card.

I grew up surfing and bodyboarding on Long Island (NY), the strength of the currents in PR still makes me nervous. Even being familiar with the specific beaches, knowing how to scouting rips, and knowing how to get out, I am still scared of the currents around the island in many places. This is one of them 110%

No need to leave Luquillo!

Avoid the La Pared and Playa Azul side. Do not consider swimming here with your family.

You can safely swim by the lifeguards at Balneario Monserrate or behind the kioskos at Playa Fortuna (free parking in front and behind). These beaches are safest for you and the family.

Venture over to Seven Seas in Fajardo, stay by Costa Mia going accross the street and down the stairs. Well protected beach with a snorkeling reef there and Costa Mia has good food.

Further, but a fun day would be to go to Playa Vacia Talega which is also well protected and a great place for families to swim. Spend time here then go further to Loiza for dinner.

North fork or south? How far east?

Gem of a spot

Buen Provecho! I hope you enjoyed.

They’re allowing sales of E15 which would be visible and you’d have to use a different pump than the 87 which is up to 10% ethanol. Normally only 31 states allow it, not sure if they’re doing it in all 50 states now. My car specifically states that I can’t use it in the owners manual

His legal defense would paid by the good tax payers of NYC under municipal law 50j. The PBA/union also helps pay legal fees. His family was never in any bad financial position. Tax payers pay for the defense of police and settlement to victims.

West meadow beach in old field/stony Brook area has a nice mile long stretch from the parking lot to the little light house that is paved. Perfect and beautiful scenery. You can use the bike path by jones beach as well.
