i am getting a replacement and it is arriving tomorrow....
few questions to the more experienced please, i will give a bit of background so you have a better understanding of me
i used to combust weed years ago, probably 15 years ago. i smoked it everyway possible and smoked some good but some rotten crap in my time. the uk used to have nasty stuff mixed in their weed which would of had all sorts of chemicals. i probably smoked for about 8 or 9 years.
i have always been a fan of cannabis, more so than booze. i always wanted cannabis to be legalized and with the currect laws coming into play in Amsterdam (always wanted to go there) i want to get there before the end of the year..
i have also quit smoking cigarettes which was probably about 6 years ago, and i have tried some mixed combustion and i cannot take it, i do not enjoy it and i have had to leave it. i am thinking it is because of the smoking aspect
ok, so i have bored you giving you a little insight about me...
i have now purchased a Da Buddha vaporizer (after a fair bit of research) because i want the cleanest hit possible and want to give this a go in hope that i can enjoy my long lost friend....
my partner who is a none smoker (quit similar time to me) has never really had cannabis is also interested in trying it for medicinal purposes.
with the above said i am trying to work out the best setting to start off with, i don't want anything to harsh on the throat, chest or affects to start off with really. i know we need to be ourselves in but i want this to work out well from the get go..
cheers
Techmob, just fill the wand about 1/3 of maximum capacity. Since you don't smoke weed for quite a long time, i think it will be more than enough to get you where you want, maybe even too much.
Then, start at 9pm (on the knob) and wait a few seconds and start pulling slowly at first and then harder at the end.
First hits will be the most flavourfull, then it evens out.
Try holding it in between each hit for about 5 seconds, unlike smoke there is no problem with CO so it is better to do this for better absorption of the actives.
Stir between each 2-3 hits and i take the wand out between hits unless i am vaporizing with my gf then i only take it out every 2 hits.
When the vapour starts to decrease, raise the temp 1 hour (on the knob) and repeat steps above.
I stop when i don't get vapour, independently of how high the temp is. I rarelly combust with it and the herb is usually light brown/greenish.
The higher temps give you more of the couch lock, and the lower temps give more the thc high.
Keep in mind that slower draw speeds increase temp and higher draw speeds decrease it, at least with the DBV. Other vapes have slight differences sometimes.
Also, it is good to put the whip in warm water for like 20min to clean it before using it for the first time, it also helps with the new smell of silicone. And, do a little burn in of the unit at low temps before using it so the smells inside the unit can evaporate as well.
the wand is a 14mm GG.
