I'm late to the pen vape scene. I've been vaping for years - an old Volcano, PD, Underdog, MFLB, etc. I've also been making BHO, mostly for use in edibles (candy), with the occasional dab session. The two generally haven't converged. I've been watching the pen/mod scene and waiting for the time...

Ha! The most low-key flash mob ever. I know it's the Interwebs and everything, but it's surprising that folks from the board don't get together occasionally. I split my time between NYC & Boston - I'm up for a meeting in either.

After having read about it for some time, I bought a used Volcano on eBay to see what it was all about. I believe that was in 2007. Using it was actually my first time vaping, and I haven't looked back. Now I have an MFLB and three PDs, and the 'cano is still around for parties. I haven't...

Nick, you hit the nail on the head there. What's left in the duff after vaping seems quite CBD/CBN-heavy, and THC-light. You can get a good couchlock going with just brownies, but, overall, I find them enjoyable. The first clue I have that the brownies are taking hold is feeling the pressure...

Wow, you are definitely conserving at 5. I usually pull two bags, one at 5.5, one at 6.5. And I generally make brownies with the duff (that are pretty potent). They'd be killer if I just vaped at 5, I think. Good on ya. -SY

I think noise just comes with the territory with a Volcano. Mine's used mostly for the "party bag", and my PD fills the personal, silent need

I understand what you're both getting at. There's a pressure difference. With a tube, it's atmospheric at the bowl, and slightly below that in the tube, causing the airflow. With a fan/pump (e.g. Volcano), there's also a pressure difference. It's slightly above atmospheric below the bowl, and...

Before I discovered the wonders of this forum, I lurked at GrassCity for quite a while. There's a reasonably good edibles forum there (http://forum.grasscity.com/incredible-edible-herb/, which seems, these days, to be inexplicably mostly devoted to firecrackers. By and large, I think the...

I've gone several times solo, and I enjoy it. It's sort of a weird city -- you're not as likely to strike up a conversation in a coffee shop as you might think. There are of course lots of tourists, but who wants to talk to a group of obnoxious Americans? (disclosure - I'm an obnoxious...

What? I don't sound like an ass? I'm going to have to step up my game. In my defense, I think I was drunk and smoking a hookah when I wrote that (hey - I don't smoke anything else, so I can have a vice, right?). Of course I'm drunk now, too. Damn. Seriously, though, I think I vape on the...

Indigal, you're making me hungry. I'll be interested to see your further posts. As I said in another thread (on brownies), my next trick is going to be to try lollipops. I'm not much of a candy maker (more of a cook than a baker, apart from bread), though, so it should be fun. I just wish I...

I'm with Sanjo. While you can sample numerous (often improperly cured) strains, the real draw for me (been 4 times) is the hash. We just don't get much here, and there is some amazing hash in the 'Dam. Check out Coffeeshopdirect.com for maps and reviews and such.

I pay $420/oz for higher end mids, and up to $550 occasionally for named strains (Jack Herer, Juicyfruit, etc). More than most of you, but it's a supply and demand question. I'm in Boston, and the decriminalization of possession of <oz earlier this year seems to have dropped prices a bit.

Personally, I think that the strain (indica/sativa) is as important as the quality. I like sativa-heavy strains, both smoked and vaped. For me, the flavor plays a good part, too, and the expensive stuff usually tastes better (to me). Mids are no doubt quite effective, too, but the fact that the...

Don't use a crappy thermometer to measure your temps. Get a cheap thermocouple ($20-30) and you'll be happier, I think. The instant read thermometers are basically just inferior thermocouples housed in a stem, anyway. As for a vape, I'll suggest you consider a used Volcano from eBay. The...
