I'm sorry to hear of your health concerns once more
@Alexis its such a shame that your unable to travel. I understand the need to try before you buy in your situation as I remember (correct me if I'm wrong?) that you brought a supreme on the say so of members here including me and that didn't do you any favours?
So yeah trying before your buying is the best for you I'd say don't wanna keep getting wrong purchases if it can be avoided. Without being to specific can I ask where about in Bedford you are? I'm based in Staffordshire.
After some solid testing last night I've found my sweet spot for oils on the SiC dish about 615-620f amazing flavour , next to no tail off of vapour so my dabbing is sorted
. Now the herb temps, while it does work at 620f its best for micro loads and better still to use the carb cap which is fine.
I need to play with the gauze a little because I find the herb up the sides of the bowl doesn't get baked at that temp so I need to pack it more directly under the five holes, direct centre of the bowl like others have done.
Hey man. Yes you are dead right, I did buy the Supreme. First off though, I really wasn't influenced into a decision by anybody, I simply viewed the evidence and recognised that it was a perfectly good idea!
And yes I did become the first ever person to officially report direct adverse effects. I had a genuine and extremely severe allergic reaction to the aluminium material, by whatever mechanism, although some members, being avid Suprme die-hards, wouldnt believe me and insisted it was just the power of the Supreme.
Believe me I am very good at knowing what is affecting me and why, my life and wellbeing depends on it.
Genuine and severe allergic reactions are unmistakeable.
There is no question it was a true allergic reaction and would be fatal for me quite soon if I continued to use the Supreme- severe throat and lung inflammation and excessive mucus, I was choking half to death suffocating on mucus!
So we parted ways, (making another member very happy in the process
).
No damage done, and I at least got to try the Supreme and wear the T shirt.
I also tried the Herborizer Ti, seeing as I tolerate the Ti Omnivap with zero reaction to any materials, just to the weed itself.
Sadly the Herbo Ti was too aggravating to my very sensitive lungs. No allergy like the Supreme, but it was impossible for me to use it without suffering too uncomfortably with my chest.
I dont know why exactly. I use the XL Herborizer and tolerate it very well, as long as I dont go too hot. I can blow huge clouds with the XL and be very comfortable, but even weak, wispy hits in the Ti cause too much respiratory discomfort.
Maybe there is some sort of semi (but not exactly) allergenic triggering property to various metals in susceptible people at certain temperatures? Like how the Vriptech crew are so passionate about the "neutral" polarity of the all glass airpath and it's benefits for the respiratiry tract.
There is some simple explanation as to why I had such a reaction to the Ti, even though I have no issue with the Ti vapcap?
It may be a heat thing. The Herbo Ti was hands down the HOTTEST vape I ever used.
But I don't know really. I sold it anyway, no loss- I see no harm in trying new vapes, one at a time, and selling on in top nick if I cant tolerate it well.
So the only 2 vaporizers that I would acquire immediately (if money was no factor) are the Flowerpot and the Glass Symphony.
The Flowerpot has to be quite similar to the Herbo Ti, material and vapor wise, so there is such a strong chance I may have an issue with it. Hence no active plans to buy one unless I tried first.
Speaking of which,
@anasrzi , I live in Bedford town itself. Thanks for putting yourself on the map for me, not sure how far Staffordhire is, will have to look.
Sounds like you have plenty of testing to do to find your preference, and it sounds like it could take some time too!
Anyway, having a great sunday! I did numerous electricity treatments on my lungs and throat this week to knock down infection. I have been suffering bad with die off, lungs full of sficky mucus.
But boy has it paid off! I feel so much better today. I really enjoyed my Herborizer earlier. Yesterday my lungs were still so congested from die off, it hurt to vape.
Today it was a painless pleasure, I got high and was so much more comfortable and happy.
Gonna keep going with the treatments, the optic nerve injury isn't TOO bad. I think it is a worthy trade off for now.
Next up is some Vapcap, and maybe, just maybe one day, a Flowerpot!?
I love this thread and would love to contribute properly, it may happen yet who knows.
