Hey, I had a thought.
I was just coming out of my yoga session, with lots of focus, and had a quick high THC hit with some crumble, low-temp with the log vape. I noticed the moment that my throat registered some irritation, which was several seconds after I'd finished the hit, which means it was the second or third breath after.
Rather than the "dryness" of the vapor, which I've never quite believed for low temps, I'm thinking that the THC itself, being absorbed by the mucus membranes of the nasal, mouth, and throat, triggers immediate dehydration of the MM surface, perhaps to prevent tail-gating by virii, perhaps to prevent over-saturation of THC in the delicate tissues.
Vaping through water, especially warm water, seems to soothe... however, I've had as good/better results from just drinking a glass of water with a pinch of sea salt in it after to re-moisturize the MM surface. Even coffee helps, as "drying" as it is purported to be.
I believe that the whole dry mouth/eyes phenomenom is that surface response - protective, I think, though annoying - is not signally systemic dehydration as I had originally thought.
TL/DR: Throat irritation might mean more THC absorption, not vapor irritation. Discuss?
What is the consensus on how temperature effects work with the manually powered vapes like MFLB, Lotus, Vapman. Wouldn't you be taking hits at a variety of temperatures, unlike taking hits from a consistent heat source? Say you only take a few hits and the herb is still green, how do you know what temperature effects you are about to get? How can you determine the temperature your vapeing at with manuals besides harshness? With manuals is it even possible to isolate the lower temperatures vs the higher temperatures or are they inevitably mixed together at a medium temp?

pakalolo - An inaccurate temp readout will still give you a set number than you can use. I have found flavor to be lost in as little as a 10 degree difference with my experiments and my vape measures the temps from the outside. So precise control can get you there without accuracy. (I think you mean accuracy when you speak of precision?)
You're correct about an inaccurate temperature display, since all you need is consistency. My point was that with a little experience, you don't need a temperature display at all. You can be accurate enough by recognizing the changes in the character of the vapour as you inhale. If you don't learn this skill then you probably won't stick with using a "manually controlled" device, as the OP calls them.
Can you elaborate more on the details of this? What changes should I be looking for? How do I know if i've crossed the line from low temp to medium temp?
Also cbd is desirable as medicine, while cbn is completely undesirable imho.
In my 40+ years of experience CBN does not intensify any of the pleasing qualities of THC, and instead degrades them and makes me feel like shit. This makes much more sense to me:That depends on your needs. CBN is a sedative, and it also intensifies the effects of THC.
Like CBD, it is suspected of potentiating certain aspects of the high, although so far these effects appear to be slight. CBN seems to potentiate THC's disorienting qualities.
One may feel more dizzy or drugged or generally messed up but not necessarily higher.
My recent experience confirmed these negative effects. I got ahold of something being passed off as "last year's g13", but was described as being a sativa. This was a dead givaway in hindsight, as g13 is well-known as being 100% indica. I couldn't stand the stuff, which was because it was so degraded it had passed the tipping point of offering anything beneficial on its own even though it had okay bag appeal; it seemed like it was cured well, no mold etc. You're correct that it still had something to offer, as I found that when I mixed it with my usual indica-heavy hybrid; it turned into just okay. But when that tipping point is passed it's not just the effects, it's downright unpalatable on its own to the point of feeling toxic. It wasn't just me, from what I gather it was pretty widely distributed in my little town and absolutely everyone hated it.I get that you don't like it or want it, particularly since it is a product of degradation, nevertheless some people want the effects. It's not useless.
