To compare with the other vapes I have, I would say it goes -

Pax3
Dynavap
DaVinci IQ2
Firefly 2

It's hard to beat the pax for convenience and discreteness, but i'm glad to have both tbh.

Here's my list of what I've tried in order of how much I liked them:

Fury Edge
Dynavap
Pax 2
Arizer Air
G Pen Pro
Vapman

I think I'm missing one, but those are the ones I've owned. Pax 2 was fine but I just didn't like it nearly as much as I like the Fury or Dyna, but it's something every regular smoker needs to try

I should have added Pax Era at the top, but I don't live in a legal place so it's impossible to get legit carts :sigh:

I only really started looking around for Pax alternatives because I don't really love that it has plastic in the oven, plus it's started not really wanting to charge. So I went for the IQ2 which is all glass/ceramic, but the Micro USB socket on it is incredibly fragile, i've had two free replacement units from them so far. But it has a removable battery, so now I have 3 perfectly good IQ2's..

the replacement part for my arizer eq came in yesterday so i got to use the whip. it was nuts having it blow directly into my lungs, pretty happy with it. i'm tempted to just load up the bigass aromatherapy glass, put it in a small room and turn on the blower

i hardly ever use my dynavap anymore. it doesn't hold very much and you gotta wait it to cool down before you can reload. i don't feel bad about buying it, but it's more of a novelty. the one thing that it is great for is travel, the little case that the induction heater came with is a good size and you can keep everything you need in there for both dabs and flower

the little buckets that came with the ispire wand, though, oh man i get a ton of use out of those. using a torch to do dabs always felt gross like i was doing hard drugs. it's also nice being able to set a temp on the wand instead of counting and then measuring with my thermometer or just guessing when i'm lazy

Echoing the Pax love here. I specifically got the 3 because of its ability to do both flower and concentrates, but I haven't even used the concentrate insert yet and I've had it over a year. I live in Michigan where it's legal, so my plan is to start growing my own and using the AVB in tinctures. I have to admit, though, the intricacies of growing really terrify me.

So I've been using my bong for flower a lot more lately and I'm also on new meds which are slightly loving with my fine motor control on my hands a bit in the evening. This has meant that I've spilled 3 out of the last 4 bowls I packed. I had to figure out a better way. So I did.

Voila:


I just cut a notch in the side of the container for the handle to sit in and now I can load flower WAY easier.

I tried it first just with an ordinary Clipper just to see how it works like that and my main takeaway was that it blacks up the tip and then you inevitably get black fingers, so that's not great - does that happen with a jet lighter as well?

Don't have this problem with torch lighters. While yeah you can use normal lighters, torches work way better.

In what sense is a torch way better? Like, the clipper heated it until it clicked in a pretty short amount of time and then weed went in my body, so apart from not leaving black on the cap how else are they better?

I also want to take this opportunity to apologise for using the terrible phrase "main takeaway", i'm sorry.

Anyone have any advice on methods for preventing or managing the "panic high"? I've been getting it more lately and usually manifests in becoming super aware of my heartbeat and starting to freak out over whether it's abnormal or not. Might just be the strain of flower too, no legal here yet so of course I rarely have a good idea what I'm actually getting. I think I've seen switching between weed and CBD flower suggested so I'm thinking about trying that, but I was also under the impression that whatever it is the strip mall CBD stores are selling is junk
I buy CBD isolate online from as-legit-as-practically-possible sources and dissolve it in coconut oil to make a tincture. Then take 10-20mg of that sublingually a few minutes before smoking THC flower.

NEW WEED SMOKER PRO TIPS BY BAGMONKEY

TODAY'S LESSON: EDGING A BOWL

Pack your bowl nice and full and tight. No puffy poo poo, make sure it's in there decently because it's semi-important for what we're doing today!

Once you're ready, line your lighter up to the left or right edge of the bowl as shown below!


As you inhale, you SHOULD only hit the one side of the bowl. This will take practice, as it's about technique, but once you get it, you've got it. This is very helpful with not torching a full bowl and not killing every bit of kief that on the top of your bowl. This can also help a lot with limiting how much you're smoking, as you can better control how big the cherry gets.

End result:


If I'm a complete loving moron please let me know but I've been doing this for like a decade and I'm still getting high off less than a whole bowl

no that's the right thing, though i've moved on to just packing as much as i can do in one hit in the bong. but yes no point in torching weed that's not making it to your lungs

uh other basic things, you can cap it with a coin like a quarter or a nickel if you need, works better than the bottom of a lighter

there's no point in holding your breath imo, keep in mind most of the smoke has been sitting in your lungs while you continue to inhale

Yep, there have been studies that show that most of the THC/CBD/etc is absorbed within a second or two of you breathing in, so by the time you're done taking a rip, you're good to blow that poo poo out

I feel like these are good things to post for the new weed smokers. Crazy to me that we haven't fuckin legalized it yet

I've actually done research on this for work and only 45% of tinctures users do it that way. It's a mix of drink additives and food additives for the rest.

There some cool drink additives that are way better than select squeeze coming to market this year.

Anybody tried any non delta 9 based edibles? I ordered a bottle of thc-p/delta 8 tincture (contains "920mg of THC-P + Delta 8"), some 40mg delta 8/delta 10 gummies (70% delta 8, 20% delta 10, 10% terpenes), and a bottle of 25mg thc-o capsules (30 count). Was especially curious how they interact with delta 9 edibles and vapes.

They advertise thc-p as being something like thirty times stronger than d9, though. They also advertise brine shrimp as castle-building, marine primates, so idk. I’m hoping in combination with d9 edibles, at least one of the cannabinoids I ordered will be good for pain, since my foot is broken and totally hosed up, and opioids don’t really work great on me.

THC-O is what the OSS would lace cigarettes with in WW2. Our spies would give them to enemy soldiers to make them more talkative.

Yes, it's how I ended up with like 12 carts back in December. The deals just kept coming and it was really hard to pass up like, 5/$100 on something that's normally 3 or 4 for $100. Funniest part is that the prices now are actually cheaper! Apparently Michigan had a massive overharvest in 2021 so distillate prices are crashing right now, 6/$100 1g carts Rec isn't unheard of and 7/$100 1g med carts is kinda common now

Pretty bad (PA Medical), but not much crazier than the delivery guy I used to use. 50-60 for a half gram: you can get a store brand for ~40, but my experience is that those have been markedly inferior.
