Having seen the CN strategies to counterfeit products up close, this fits the bill 100%. Pick niche items (high value, captive audience, no reason to believe counterfeit), price it just right (not too low), and use materials that are looks-like, feels-like. For the most part, they are benign...

I stopped by a dispensary over the weekend where the sales associate came from a lab background in the industry. I learnt that the hotly debated Sativa/Indica spectrum has finally been turning more objective. If I understand correctly, we now have THCA, THCB, CBN and CBD (are there more?), which...

Oh neat! Is it genuine S&B gear, or is it 3rd party? If latter, is the plastic quality and bag material comparable to S&B original? For regular users, I think S&B's annual sales are a great time to stock up on consumables, but not sure if they offer that outside the US.

Two possibilities: 1) tolerance build up ;) 2) oxidation and gunk build up #2 is real. The heat transmits via a network of steel meshes that can get coated over time. Do you clean the head from time to time?

I see. I have an Amazon Special ($15) kind and it's been great to clean jewelry, eyeglasses, etc. But this is all using water and dish soap. I'm most interested in understanding if resinous parts actually respond any better to being in an ultrasonic rather than a static/steep bath of ISO (which...

@Flotsam - did you end up buying an ultrasonic cleaner? Do you use iso as the fluid? Any risk to running that given the high frequency operation and temperature rise? And if not iso, then how is the resin breaking down?

Good to hear. I'll give it a try. Let us know when you've had a chance to try the Donkey Butter!

How does the bubblegum runtz feel compared to the Blue Dream and Northern Lights benchmark we share? I see it stocked at my local disp but never gave it a try.

Totally adorable. And 10/10 photography. What’s the ovalesque black box inside?

I didn’t think there was anyone else who had the *exact same* preferences as I. Been a Northern Lights lover since 2012 and discovered Blue Dream in the Kiva Lost Farms chews circa 2022. Now, these are the only two Pax pods in our household at any given time. Most Sativas other than blue dream...

Why not try the abstinence route? It could take ~14 days (up to 60 days if accumulated in fat) for the THC to be at an insignificant composition in the body. We know that it is a psychoactive compound that affects the ego and sense of self at subconscious levels. With the abstinence...

Studies like these are generally funded by some advocacy group or government funding. This one claims to be independently studied by University of Toulouse. Call me cynical but I’m generally skeptical of these “for the goodness of mankind” studies. Be honest about the impetus and maybe more...

I’m a firm believer in “where there’s a will there’s a way”. If either the manufacturer, dispensary, or the state actually cared, this would be addressed. States do mandate electronics recycling fees when you buy tablets, laptops or a myriad other electronics. * A $1 fee on every disposable...

I find the Volcano’s whip airpath to be incredibly open! :D. Also, it isn’t resin, because that would come off with IPA, which this browning doesn’t do - it’s permanent, which could mean its chemical in nature. It seems we can’t prevent it, so finding the S&B tubing to replace regularly is the...

Interesting. I always thought that during heating (induction or flame), it was the chamber that heated up, which, via conduction and radiation heated the cap, which clicked when the duo reached the right temp. Based on your observation, the cap seems to be ferrous as well, and independently...
