I started with weed recently and had a bit of an oopsie with some sensi star flower.

I'd used it in a flowermate nano for a while and thought I knew what it was like. Ran some of it through my dynavap and got uncomfortably high for the first time in a while.

Still have a bit to learn with the dyna apparenlty.

Anyone else get an internal soundtrack of music you swear you've never heard before going nonstop while high?

Wish I knew enough to be able to remember/write down some of these tunes.

I ordered a Dynavap Omni because I liked the M so much and its supposed to arrive today. :sun:

:neckbeard:

The Omni stash is a cool colour but the M stash is made of cedar and smells really nice.


Also tip for new owners: check for any metal shavings on the parts before use. Found a tiny burr on the mouthpiece of the Omni that probably wouldn't do my lungs any good.


It's the 2021 model so I think it's xl? That's the case size it came with.

Disassembled side by side.

Despite being larger and more complex, the Omni weighs about a gram less due to the titanium.





Titanium bowl filter on the right, stainless steel on the left.





M stainless steel oven on the left (needs a clean) titanium Omni oven on the right. Same bowl volume.


Haven't used it yet but I already like the Omni mouthpiece and stem shape over the M.


Other design improvements:

The M bowl has a rubber o-ring that is exposed when in the stem. This means that if you are careless, high or just lacking coordination you could accidentally hit this o-ring with the butane lighter flame while heating. You SHOULDN'T because the o-ring is no where near the cap you are heating but if you slip, it could happen. The omni has all o-rings recessed into the body so you can't expose it to direct flame.

OK trip report for the OMNI:


Jesus gently caress :okpos:


This is literally the first time I used the Omni so still dialling in technique. It seems to heat the bowl faster so definitely respect the clicks a little more or you'll burn poo poo. I suspect this would be similar if you just bought a replacement titanium tip and stuffed it into the M body.

The mouthpiece is nicer to use. The air holes on the stem are better shaped so it does make it easier to vent in air consistently when rolling it in your fingers while dragging.

The stem extra size because of the mouthpiece and body shape make it easier to roll consistently over a lighter flame compared to the M. Which is not to say that either is particularly large. They're both nice and small devices.

Cleaning is a little bit more fiddly if you want to soak it to clean it because there's more O-rings to remove.

the spiralled, movable condenser stem seems like a gimmick but bugger me if airflow draw isn't a little smoother.

In summary - it probably won't get you any higher, but the ergo changes in the body and airflow are minor quality of life improvements and you might save a little on butane costs as the bowl seems to heat quicker.

Is it better? Yeah a little. Is it 3 times better (the difference in cost)? No but its still nice.

Its funny at the moment here my Doctor asked whether I would prefer being prescribed Afghan Kush or Pink Kush

In lieu of medical language existing they are using hybrid weed slang medical terminology in the doctors office which is funny

And it was pretty clear on last checkup he is used to people just smashing through their script in a matter of weeks, and I'm a month or two into in and have used less than half of what he gave me

I have my follow-up appointment on Monday with the doc and it's going to be weird.


Like if you told 20 year old me that in 15 years I'd be having a video call with a doctor to tell him he prescribed too much weed despite having used weed more than when I only had illicit poo poo I'd have told you not to dip into your own supply.

just got my hands on a dynavap and a BB9 adapter. was wondering if I could get some insight from the veterans on how to get the most out of this thing.

1. what kind of grind are you putting into the bowl?
2. what bowl size do you find is the most efficient? are you capable of getting multiple decent hits out of the larger size?
3. does your burn technique differ when you're using it with the standard body vs with a BB9 and water pipe?
4. are you pulling hard and fast or more long and slow?

thanks

can't answer 3 because I just use a straight dynavap but;

1. i'm getting lazier with the grind as time goes by. Rough grind works just fine.

2. I get about 6 heat cycles out of a 0.1g bowl load. 3 is enough to get me nicely high, so the other 3 cycles is good for a second session later or a top off before I go to bed.

4. Long and slow.

I have 3 lumbar discs that are pretty much trash, 3 degenerative diseases in my lower back (sacroiliitis, spinal stenosis, degen disc) and sciatica that has made half my right leg numb, for some 17 years now. Thanks Army.

I haven't found CBD to do much. Maybe because it's not all inflammation related (sacroiliitis is), and more nerve problems than anything. Weed in general is a great distraction from it, but it's not doing much beyond that for me.

Yeah there's my back pain, and then theres your BACK PAIN.

There's been a few studies showing cannabis users tend to be healthier weights, with smaller waistlines, and have more stable blood sugars than non-users.

Munchies is a phase you get past pretty quickly. But cannabis does seems to help prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. I'm the only weed consumer in my direct family, and the only one (of 5) without the Wilford Brimleys. Two type 1s, two type 2s, and me.

By all rights I should be a 300lb fatass that got type 2 around 30, but here I am at 40, 210lbs, eating like a trash panda and my blood sugar just hangs out around 100.

A joint a day keeps the problematic type 2 medications away.

Weed makes me sleep like a person. I lay down tired and relaxed, and I wake up having slept. Like it's unreal. I am rested now, I sleep the entire night most nights, and like, I barely move. I am out. Nothing has ever done that for me before and for that reason alone I'll never give it up. The psychological impact of being able to sleep right, consistently, I can't quantify it. It's lifechanging.

Yep, same. Wish I'd taken it up a decade ago if only for this.

bagmonkey posted:

The other thing a lot of daily smokers don't talk about regularly but I'm pretty positive is a consistent or consistent-ish experience is that I don't really dream very much at all anymore. I remember less than one dream a week, mostly very very vague guidelines and the dreams never end up with me waking up in terror as I fall into a pit or whatever. Every time I take a t-break, I end up using Nyguil or whatever else to keep myself asleep, otherwise I'm up constantly


Yeah I noticed this as well. Can't say I miss it. Its interesting how every time I take a night off from weed my sleep immediately declines in quality and I wake several times a night and have much more vivid dreams.

I vape to get myself to sleep every night except Friday and Saturday so as to give myself a break and help reduce tolerance buildup.

I figure if I have a crappier night on those nights it doesn't matter that much because I can sleep in.

I'll take regular, proper sleep as much as I can, thanks.

How many hits should I aim for? I can do two but it's burnt on the second.

And I think a water piece would help with pulling bigger hits but I haven't got one right now.

FWIW I still typically take 3 hits even with the FMJ. But you should still get one anyway if you haven't already. FMJ owns

If you want torching easy mode also get a Simrell FMJ, its $10 and worth all of it.



FMJ easily the best dynavap accessory. I use a torch lighter exclusively and without FMJ is fine, but with it makes the entire thing even easier.

Just get it. Seriously. Dynavaps are cheap anyway, the extra $10 is worth it.

I would tend to agree. Falling asleep has been a bit tougher, but I had a school overnight a few weeks ago where obviously I wasn't going to get high while chaperoning teenagers so I got used to falling asleep without it again already. I'm back to only 6-7 hours of sleep though instead of the rock solid 8 I was getting with my brownies.

My doc changed my strain because I mentioned the packaging my low THC strain came in kept ripping which is a small problem because I had to put it in a normal baggie and in the unlikely event cops get involved, any weed found not in medical packaging is potentially considered illegal. So doc changed my Pennywise 6%cbd/6thc% for a Kandy Kush hybrid 8%cbd/6%thc.

it's pretty darn good. Tastes kinda like bubblegum
