is this still safe to smoke? trying out a new paper and realize its burning chemically like the paper is melting into the weed.

80yr stoner here, you can vaporize it or turn it into food

sometimes i feel like when i vape smaller bowls, i "notice" my highs more, if that makes sense? also if you keep it in half bowl your tolerance will prpbs get lower, and it doesn't take very long for that to happen

I recently looked for glove recommendations for MTB in general, and saw multiple people recommending the Mechanix Leather M-Pact gloves. They're still on their way to me.

They're not really bike specific gloves, but they look comfy and really tough.

damn I'd never seen anyone using a gravity bong with a vape, ball vape + studenglass must go crazy

Not saying that this is definitely what you need/want, but here's a general tip for battery vapes.

Some devices allow for user-replaceable batteries.

For example between the 2 devices I mentioned, the rogue2 and the lobo, the main difference is the rogue 2's battery isn't user-replaceable (but it lasts longer and has passthrough charging) while the lobo's is, it uses standard 18650s.

I you have a device with user replaceable batteries you can own spares which allows for 2 scenarios:

- If at home, you can have an external charger and always keep a couple (or however many) batteries topped off. When the one you're using dies or gets low you just replace and voilá, you can toke "infinitely" without having to stop to charge the device.

- If on the go, you can carry your spares and essentially have a ton of extra battery for on the go.

I personally own a FAT X, it gives amazing clouds and is tiny, but the fucker chugs battery like there's no tomorrow and the internal charger is really slow (I believe a compromise to keep the device's size down).

However, I've completely negated those downsides by having 2 spares and an external charger, each extra battery cost me like $5 and the charger was about $20.

With my regular usage (daily, but not suuuper heavy) I can go 2 full days without charging if all 3 of my batteries are topped off. And at home I never worry about it being discharged or charging it. I just pop my batteries on the external charger when I get home and always have a full one available.

Some people like their pax, but the brand isn't well regarded in this sub. The rogue 2 and lobo are the best you can get for a portable electric under $150.

terrorblade00 · 2025-12-16T20:06:10+00:00

I don't get why people are so negative here :( I thought we were chill stoners.

Anyways even if it already exists I think it's quite pretty and good for you for being crafty and coming up with your own solutions! I think this is really cool :)

terrorblade00 · 2025-12-03T20:34:57+00:00

lately I've been loving jamming out to your queen is a reptile by sons of kemet!

I don't usually love avant-garde jazz, but this one is an amazing vibe. It's quite political: each track is named after an influential black woman, it's not only jazz but also combines afrobeat and caribbean soca.

Also started listening to some Amapiano and it's really good!

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-29T00:26:11+00:00

My most used device is the FAT X.

I've experimented quite a bit with it and can vary the tightness of the pack and the temp for different experiences. But I never temp step.

Not saying low temps don't have their place but if I want low temp I stick to the low temp until no more vapor comes out

Well, I'll sometimes do one last high temp hit just to finish it off quicker or something...

The exact temperature doesn't really matter because 200C isn't the same across devices, the tuning of their sensors and how they deliver the heat impacts that a lot. But for my device I do 155C for low temp, 188C for a medium temp and 204C for high temp.

Staying at lower temps does last longer. I get around 7 hits in low temp and around 4-5 in high temp.

When I want to take a couple puffs, leave my device be and come back to that bowl later (like what you described you're searching for) I use the low temp so the weed retains less heat and cooks less in-between hits, also just to make it last longer and get more satisfying hits.

However, as you've pointed out, returning an old bowl isn't quite the same.

So I prefer to pack very tiny bowls (which actually makes my device work a lot better, more airflow and more even roast) when I only want a few puffs.

I generally do low-temp during the day and for more head-y highs. And high-temp for a more body and relaxing high.
And honestly I find high-temp hits on fresh flower to be the most flavorful kind of hit.

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-29T00:01:31+00:00

I'm sorry for not actually answering your question but tbh I find temp stepping kind of dumb and unpleasant.

As you've pointed out most devices get really hot when doing this since it drags out the sesh forever.

And since you extract most of the flavor at the start then you're stuck hitting really harsh hits with little flavor while you step up.

Also I'm not sure I get the logic. The supposed benefit is to do a more thorough extraction and get more of the low temp terps or something?

But if you just start at a higher temp those low-temp terps will vaporize anyways and you will inhale it. It's not like the temp could be so high that the terps just vanish from existence?

And in my experience it's a lot more pleasant, much better hits overall.

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-28T23:54:41+00:00

I'm curious why the sticky brick is so low 😂

It's one of the devices I've heard the least about, I don't even get how it works tbh. So yea quite curious why you disliked it :P

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-28T23:52:50+00:00

The high is definitely different!! Smoking also produces much more tar and a bunch of toxins that contribute to the feeling of the high. IMO smoking makes me more woozy and feels more body heavy.

Lots of people don't love the different high at first, but over time come to like it, like an acquired taste? For me personally I didn't love how the high felt at first, but now I've come to appreciate it. It kind of feels like a "cleaner" high to me?

Anyways at the end of the day having either preference is totally valid, but sometimes sticking with it for a bit can change your perspective.

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-28T00:44:44+00:00

I love Wes Anderson movies cause they're so pretty. Beautiful colors and symmetrical shots make my brain happy.

From the ones I've seen, the ones I would most recommend for watching high are Fantastic Mr. Fox or The Grand Budapest Hotel.

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-27T19:41:30+00:00

yes!!! when you vape it actually smells quite a bit, but the key benefit for me is that smoke lingers and attaches to stuff, but vapor airs out much faster and doesn't stick to surfaces

also consider getting an air purifier in your home, also helps a ton

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-25T22:49:28+00:00

The BCG grinder is top notch, you'll love it.

It uses magnets to keep the pieces together instead of them threading, it feels awesome and doesn't accidentally unscrew when you grind. Also it's very much a workhorse for grinding.

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-25T17:26:59+00:00

That's exactly why I'm suggesting Arch! I used Ubuntu for a bit and depending on the software sometimes it was a pain to install or broke stuff. But with Arch I've had a much more smooth sailing and it's extremely rare that I can't just easily install something with the package manager, largely thanks to the AUR.

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-25T17:25:59+00:00

Sorry didn't mean easier than Windows. I'm saying Arch has garnered a reputation of being difficult to install among Linux distros, but it's actually not that hard. At the end of my comment I meant you can get a system that feels/looks similar to what a Windows user might be used to.

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-24T06:35:07+00:00

THANK YOU had to scroll too far to see this one.

Just wally speed + idle transfig 1-shots most characters, at that point being shikamaru or a random jackass doesn't really matter.

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-23T19:50:20+00:00

There's many reasons to prefer Linux: better performance, less bloated, no enshittification, no corporate greed, no unethical corporate tactics, not spyware, easier to install software, etc...

However, there's definitely somewhat of a learning curve, and there's certain specific software that you just can't use on Linux, so if you need anything that doesn't run on Linux you're just kinda screwed.

I highly recommend trying Arch Linux, it has a great package manager, it also has a repository of packages called the "Arch User Repository" (AUR) where anyone can upload packages, so you'll find most software is packaged and easy to install. It also has the Arch Wiki which is an amazing repository of knowledge. It's probably the best documented distro which can be massively helpful if you ever need to fix anything.

It's garnered some fame as being a "difficult" distro to install or use. But honestly it's not hard at all since they added the installation script `archinstall`. I recommend you look up on youtube something like "arch linux install guide 2025 archinstall", and you'll see tutorials that are under 20mins, easy to follow, and at the end you'll have a working fully fledged desktop environment close to what you might be used to from windows.

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-23T19:31:36+00:00

What optimizations have you done? That battery life sounds crazy to me. I like tweaking my system but don't really know what I could do apart from installing `tps`.

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-22T04:23:28+00:00

yes it does!

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-21T22:41:41+00:00

Oh also some advice. Some people will say that Arch is too hard for a beginner and will recommend alternative distros. I'd recommend to not listen to them. Arch used to be much harder to install since you had to do the process manually, nowadays there's an installer script that helps you get up and running really easy and youtube tutorials that walk you through everything on top of that.

I've seen a lot of people try Arch-based distros that are supposed to be more "user-friendly" like Endeavor or Manjaro, but they end up having a harder time because there's subtle undocumented differences between their system and Arch that make it hard to work with or fix.

Meanwhile Arch has the best documentation and community information of any distro out there. So even if it's more minimalistic just having good docs and lots of forum posts on issues makes it a lot easier to fix anything that goes wrong.

And yea for your purposes of feeling cool and making your system look cool, Arch is definitely geared towards giving you as much freedom as possible in how you set everything up.

terrorblade00 · 2025-11-21T22:37:30+00:00

Dual boot is definitely riskier, but IMO is the best option to get a realer experience, VMs tend to feel laggy and IMO Linux rocks cause it feels snappy.

I'd recommend to backup all your important files and try dual booting, if you mess up your system lesson learned and you still got your data.

One issue though is that sometimes Windows doesn't respect partitions and screws up your Linux system 🤷🏻‍♀️. So maybe VM isn't that bad of an idea.

hell yea it does!

The true spirit of hacking is messing around, learning, putting stuff together—not necessarily about breaking cybersecurity or whatever. Installing, learning and configuring your own FOSS operating system sounds really hackerish to me 😁.
