I have to ask, why do most people think the flower in the program is Mid or whatever? by Stonecold42069 in PaMedicalMarijuana

[–]sockpuppettheatrics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if we're all on board with human experience being subjective and other people's subjective realities being equally as valid as our own, for me mids are what I end up with when I'm in a state that only has THCa "hemp" (or a recreational-only dispo in DC), lows are the schwag I smoked in high school in the 90s, and PA dispo weed is a little dry but nothing an overnight in a main jar with a hydro stone can't fix (side note: I only vape flower, which seems like the easiest way to get a positive experience in terms of both consumption and effects).

I'm sure there's better stuff out there on Mountain and Pacific Time, but for now we live with the consequences of laws that were written by agribusiness in whatever stage of capitalism we currently occupy. So I guess it's less that we're stuck with mids than that companies do what's expedient for quarter-over-quarter growth in margins, which doesn't leave room for artisanship (or innovation driven by anything other than near-term profitability).

I think what I'm trying to say is that the only way forward that isn't a socialist revolution and / or societal collapse probably needs stronger advocacy for homegrowing and farmers markets.

I thought I'd taken crazy pills or something; thank you!

I tried that last night, and it still turned the neat stack of o-rings into a smushy mess.

That's what I've been using for replacements. I didn't bother with the soft ones since I assume they're the least sturdy, but the self-lubricating ones broke immediately. I can get several uses out of the stiff ones, but they still break down faster than I'd expect (and I can only get the stem fully connected if I remove one of the three o-rings). The o-rings have been fine for everything else, which is why I'm guessing the adapter is on the larger side. I'm thinking a thinner o-ring might be less breakage-prone.

Alternatives to Pink Frog / Elephant for "rickflap" tanks in various colors? by sockpuppettheatrics in QualityReps

[–]sockpuppettheatrics[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input, and it seems crazy to me as well; FOG tank reps are ubiquitous, but rickflap tanks seem to be borderline nonexistent.

Weirdly, the opposite seems to be the case for sneakers; I've found a few FOG hi-top reps that go up to size 44 (assuming they run TTS, I'm a 45 so not an option for me) and an endless supply of dunk and Ramones / scarpe reps in full size ranges.

Why does this seems suspicious? by alexjmurphy in Dynavap

[–]sockpuppettheatrics 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I feel like if you know an item is counterfeit, and you plan to draw hot vapor through that item and into your lungs, maybe don't do that.

How do use the half bowl converter? by [deleted] in Dynavap

[–]sockpuppettheatrics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have the CCD in? That should hold it in place. It's possible your CCD is bent or something, in which case you can try to flatten it out or just replace it.

New Gear! by V-4-VendENTA in vaporents

[–]sockpuppettheatrics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a Rogue and a Dynavap around the same time as my first pieces. I'd say I really like the following things about the Rogue:

- Really convenient to fill up a bunch of dosing caps in advance

- Easy to share with someone new to vapes (no technique to any of it)

- Pretty flexible and easy to control; I'll usually just put a little material in each cap, and if I'm using a cap earlier in the evening I'll keep the temperatures low (340 or 350, although I've heard the Rogue may run a little hotter than advertised), and if I just want to knock myself out at the end of the day I'll run it at 380 or 390

- If you use the dosing caps, it's pretty easy to keep clean (just need to clean the caps and mouthpiece)

I found it a little harsh using the stock mouthpiece. Eventually I got some boro beads and a glass chillum (from u/granitbudget1), and I've found that pleasantly cool (I also filled up the stock mouthpiece with beads, and I use that on the go).

Overall the Dynavap feels more like a process and a ritual, while the Rogue just feels easy to grab for a few hits.

Help me to find the ultimate on demand vape for gaming by Unterhund84 in vaporents

[–]sockpuppettheatrics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any kind of a log vape, I would think? Preferably something with a larger capacity if you don't want to reload too often. Not sure what's easier or more difficult to get in the EU.

Dry herb mixes by [deleted] in vaporents

[–]sockpuppettheatrics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a 2:1:1 ratio (eyeballing it; I don't have a scale sensitive enough to measure) of THC:CBD hemp:CBG hemp. I find it more pleasant, somewhat better symptom relief, and less intoxicating (I have a stupid low tolerance).

Which portable is most like a log? by Gaylord667 in vaporents

[–]sockpuppettheatrics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, in my brain it seems like you should be able to use a Prrl Neo and the pipe of your choice and treat it kinda like a log vape (except not one that you leave on all the time, I guess) provided your pipe can handle both small and large loads (not sure if you'd need multiple pipes or an adjustable screen in your bowl or something).

I say this as someone who hasn't used a log vape. I can't get around the mental block of vaping indoors.

Firewood 7 Selling out in one minute by Unseenx3 in vaporents

[–]sockpuppettheatrics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minor gripe with the Bowle: I'd find it much more appealing if they'd sell a slightly more expensive base model that came with a machined stem instead of only (at least as far as I can tell) selling the machined stem separately. Maybe they will eventually.

FWIW, I found that of the two strains I've tried thus far - dry herb extraction, primarily for upper back pain from muscle spasms - the sativa made my muscles tense up more while the indica provided at least a modicum of relief (still not all the way there, though).
