@heartvapor -- thanks for your response. I had no idea that vaporisation was so efficient with nicotine. I've only been doing it for about three weeks so far -- no choice, these old lungs are shot by 40-plus years of cigarette smoking and I need to be able to use cannabis daily for spinal pain...

What I received from The Marketplace Brighton: one velvet drawstring bag containing the LB, a four-unit battery case with two peeled batteries, ABV box, and all the little tools, bits, and bobs. Plus a separate pack containing the 220-240v charger and two 13000 mAh batteries. OK, thank you...

darth-vapor, agreed 100% about not using pre-rolled cigarette tobacco. It's murder. I use hand-rolling tobacco myself, Old Holborn to be precise, and have done so since 1976. I've also tried vaping pipe tobacco. I had thought it would be a harsh experience but it was actually very pleasant...

magicflight, many thanks for your response. Yes, I did receive two peeled batteries with the Launch Box. It was just the spare pair of batteries that were unpeeled and apparently sub-optimal for use with the vaporiser. I've also now peeled those two spares and there is a black washer-like...

cluffy, many thanks for that much better and more understandable definition. Since I see that the Launch Box draws about 15, it seems the 1300 mAh batteries aren't going to be a lot of use to me, as I understand it. Not too happy about paying good money for sub-par stuff I can't really use...

Vicki, I don't know if you read my previous post but I smoke 12-15 cigarettes a day so I have to allow for at least 24-30 trenches a day to get my nicotine fix. Thus the 12 batteries a day estimation. I also use cannabis for pain control but I find the Volcano better at doling out more measured...

Many thanks for your responses hello, bluntfaced, and B. I did a bit of digging on the interwebs and came up with this nugget: "The mAh capacity rating refers to the storage capacity available for a particular battery. A battery with a capacity rating of 1800 mAh could deliver a current of...

I just took delivery of a Magic Flight Launch Box today and right now I'm recharging batteries for Launch Day tomorrow. I bought mine from The Marketplace Brighton (who were impressively quick in shipping it). It's really a beautiful looking little unit and I'm really looking forward to trying...

@bluntfaced - it's pretty gross material to handle all right, but the hit is amazing. And that's why I was looking for a way to flush out the good stuff and leave any bad behind. No luck so far though... @AGBeer - it's not so much getting my hands dirty that bothers me, but what my hands touch...

Oh, yeah, it's smokable, all right, AGBeer, but the mess it makes of fingers, hands, nails, etc is horrendous. I was hoping to end up with a cleaner-handling substance, or a way of using it that doesn't make me end up looking like I've been living down an oil-well, but if that's not possible...

Last night I removed the thick pad "screen" I've been using for smoking hash in the Volcano and replaced it with the two factory-installed top and bottom standard screens. With the unit turned up full, I finally got a definite vapour for the first time ever. And no hash-melt. I just thought...

The OP could also have had a pre-existing low-level 24-hour fever or infection that was brought to the fore by the weed. This is probably the most likely explanation. I've been smoking for 42 years and I've only ever had an experience like this twice - once on pure opium, and once on opium-laced...

This is not strictly a vaping question but I don't know where else to ask. And since most vaporists are usually pretty well experienced in most things cannabis, I figure some folks will have good suggestions. So here goes: Where I am, I can't get weed, just hash. Up until recently, I've been...

Thanks for the suggestions, AGBeer. Snus works on the same principle as nicotine gum, i.e. absorption via the lining of the cheek. This has never worked for me. And I'm not sure I like the idea of having tobacco in my gob for a large part of the day. E-ciggies face an uncertain future. Which is...

Hi Ciarn, I've actually emailed your info email addy a couple of days ago enquiring about this very subject. I'm using Old Holborn hand-rolling tobacco. I absolutely love the taste of tobacco in the iolite - I never realised it actually tasted so nice. However, I'm a little puzzled right now as...

Reality keeps intruding into my life, dammit. :) @AGBeer - thanks a million for the links to some serious reading material. Your brownie recipe sounds delicious. I think I'm gonna give this baking thing a go... @tdavie - many thanks for your thoughts and analysis. But 10 minutes to get to bed...

Why, thank ye kindly, SSS, that's mighty neighbourly of ye. (Geez, the very name of this stuff has me talking like a Beverly Hillbilly). :) But seriously, thanks for the reading material, even though I can't drink booze anymore. I'm sure I'll find a way to use those ABVs...

Hey AGBeer, I don't even know what swampwater is, but I am looking out for ways to use this stuff as efficiently as possible (not the tobacco, obviously). I used to brew my own beer. Well, me and my late dad did. Quit in '86. Didn't have the heart for it after he died. And I had to quit...

I recently bought a Volcano Classic and an iolite and, while neither produce clouds of vapour, they've been doing the job. However, after a lifetime of relying on the usual smoker's visual signals - clouds of exhaled smoke from both tobacco and hash, and brown/blonde live material that turns...

I tried following your suggestions last night, lepstadder. The mist was only very slightly more visible in the bag than at normal toasting levels. Perhaps I have a defective Volcano? Mist is very visible when I use the iolite (which burns at 190 deg C). Hate the idea of having a defective unit...
