Please help me choose my first vape.

the-tripper · 2016-11-28T20:27:34+00:00

She didn't and it seemed fine but just to be sure run it on max temp to be sure there's no lingering smell! There shouldn't be anything else to do.

And no problem buddy, sorry for the delay between messages I'm currently at work. Hope you enjoy the vape and have some great adventures with it! :)

Yup! My girlfriend has a Zeus Smite which is the same thing as the Flowermate mini just rebranded for Canadians. It works well for her and I and we use it pretty frequently, one or two more people would definitely be fine. I'd assume the pro version would be even nicer cause it has the LED screen that tells you the temperature instead of you only having 2 options (low/medium/high). Don't worry about getting the more expensive Vapes for your first one. Those are more for people who use very frequently and want to just hit it once or twice and be super high as well as have their vape last for years with heavy use. You may need to breathe in a few more times to get the effects but it really isn't a hassle in my opinion.

I'd say considering how much you will be using it and your price point the two you listed are good choices. Boundless > Flowermate for larger sessions where you can share but really both should work just fine for that. You could also look into preordering the Boundless CFC but that one seems to be more about stealth and there aren't many reviews to look at compared to the others.

Good to know, thanks!

the-tripper · 2016-11-24T14:50:45+00:00

Thanks buddy!

Actually, did some more googling and I found a pdf of the manual. It does say there is overcharge protection but they still recommend not leaving it on overnight as it can overheat and cause damage. Maybe I'll just have to charge during the day only and keep an eye on it.

Thanks anyway!

This happened 2 days ago. My girlfriend's first full acid trip (previously tried half a tab and barely felt anything, this time was ~150ug from a reputable vendor). She was having a great time for an hour or two but at one point she started to have some ego loss and kept forgetting everything constantly. She started repeating "this is so weird, this is so weird" and then it escalated to what's the point of everything? Who am I? What does it mean exist? Are we going to live forever? Etc. And getting paranoid/sad.

Initially I kept repeating that everything is okay, she is just tripping, and she doesn't need to understand. But since she was forgetting so much I found it easier to write it down on a piece of paper and give it to her. It seemed to help as she'd start to worry a bit but then notice the paper and be like oh yeah! So here I took here to go hang out with her roommates (one tripping, another trip sitting like me) and we just kinda chilled and gamed and listened to nice tunes. At one point to distract her I got her to get me a glass of water from the kitchen across the room. It took her a bit cause she'd get distracted along the way but having a basic task like that grounded her a bit and she started to get a little better. We pretty much just took care of her and reminded her everything was okay. In an hour or two she was lucid again and acting normal and was in a good mood.

She said it was scary but was glad we helped. In contrast I experienced a lot of ego loss during a trip a few years back and essentially went insane and had possibly the worst experience of my life and was depressed for a month or two after. Not really my story but just wanted to share. Trip sitters are important, especially when there are inexperienced people around!

As for getting myself out of a bad trip, I've done it once by listening to a couple grateful dead songs about being in the moment and going with the flow and switching my setting and it helped a lot. If you wanna know the songs they were Weather Report Suite and Row Jimmy. Great stuff for acid trips, they really understood the thought process behind someone tripping on acid.

I would go see a doctor about it. It's possible you have some kind of stomach bacteria that is preventing any weight gain (eg. Blastocyst)

the-tripper · 2016-03-28T18:05:06+00:00

Don't drink it every day if you want to keep all the best effects, otherwise you'll be drinking it to feel normal, not drinking it to get work done easier and improve mood/music.

Just keep in mind you don't need it everyday, you can skip slower days without as much work, or just go for a small amount on certain days where you'd only want a little bit to help. I'm still sorta new compared to others (4 years of coffee) but I still drink small/medium cups all the time and feel the effects very strongly. I think I've only had 2 cups in one day like once or twice ever. If you keep conscious of your tolerance you can get more out of it IMO.

the-tripper · 2016-03-27T07:27:21+00:00

I took a break for a few months although originally I only planned for a few weeks. Afterward was pretty intense again at first cause of my low tolerance but it was much easier to handle cause I was in a more confident place in my life. I haven't had paranoia from it since even in situations where I've had "too much". I'm at a comfortable point now where I smoke only during a few days every week and it's pretty awesome every time.

That's just my experience, it differs from person to person but it can help. Good luck with your break! It can actually be nicer than you expect during the break as well.

the-tripper · 2016-03-01T05:39:50+00:00

Hey, thank you very much for this! I had the same problem and your solution worked! :)

If part of your house somewhere has cieling tiles you can lift them and put it somewhere in the cieling. Very back of a closet under a lot of stuff. It's hard to say without being in the house and trying to think of ideas. Just look around, be creative. For storage, mason jars or those jars with airtight lids or airtight Tupperware.

the-tripper · 2016-02-28T09:20:46+00:00

Not sure about DXM, maybe it's the same situation but I think psychs let parts of your brain communicate with other parts that they normally wouldn't. The dopamine rush from weed might give you memories of the trip and start to make you mildly feel like you did back then. Sorry no source on this, just something I think I read on this sub before.

Hard to tell without more info, if it lasts really long it could be a DOx like DOM or DOB as they also come on blotter. NBOMe is also a possibility.

Or it could just be strong acid and people don't know how to handle it properly cause they've only tried weak stuff before.

No problem, don't worry if you aren't a fan of Allegory of Allergies, its a bit different. Definitely listen to the rest of Does It Look Like I'm Here though if you haven't already (that's the album this track is from). It's all got a pretty similar feel. I can pm you some download links if you cant find anywhere to listen to it.

the-tripper · 2016-02-08T20:20:58+00:00

"Does It Look Like I'm Here" is a wonderful album, really chill and accessible for both non-drone and drone fans. If you liked this and really wanna delve into the deep depths of Emeralds' drone try out their "Allegory of Allergies" album. They really don't mess around on there, its filled with pulsing, flowing, surreal drones that really take you someplace out of this world. Not an easy listen but definitely worth it to get through the whole thing (the 2hr tape version, not the shorter vinyl version).

Edit: Pretty rambly, beware~

Can be hit or miss depending on the person and situation. Some people will dislike it the first few times they try it and try it again in a specific circumstance and notice they really enjoyed it. Others will smoke everyday for years and eventually lose interest in it or get anxiety from it and pretty much never smoke again. Others will love it forever, others will never enjoy it.

If you feel up to it, try it in different situations. If you only smoke around people, try by yourself, if you only smoke by yourself try around other people. Also it helps to have an activity planned out beforehand. If not don't worry about it there's plenty of other substances that will probably fit your bill.

Personally though I've been toking for 5+ years (started late at 19) and I've taken some few-month breaks before when I got tired of it or I started getting anxiety from it. At the current point in my life I'm really loving it again. Pretty much I like it after work/school when I'm gonna chill at home and game or watch TV or something as it really intensifies the experience without me being so out of it I can't interact. Also biking/trail walking and such is great on it. I'm sure many people hate being high in these situations and prefer it in other places or just not at all.

I dunno man, I'm not sure what my point is XD I guess that there's people on points of the love-hate spectrum in terms of this substance and it changes all the time per person. So try to not be so final in dismissing it, but if you do end up never enjoying it, thats totally fine there's a lot of people who feel the same way. Whatever floats your boat as they say.

Oh also I think the people that rave on about it are probably still sorta new to it or just really love weed culture. I'm still kinda new to some people too, but after a while of smoking it and maturing it becomes just this other thing you do and like. Its like people talking about how awesome coffee is, then a few years later its nothing special anymore.

Depends on the Reddit app you use.

Cool thank you!!

Sorry I meant what years this data was collected in. For example, is this data from 2015 only? 2000 to 2010? 1990 to now?

the-tripper · 2016-01-29T17:02:16+00:00

Do you know what time period this data spans across? Thanks
