the puffco proxy is the best portable I've used for wax and live resin (and all those other non-hash concentrates). pens have short vapor paths so their vapor is more harsh. there's a proxy thread here if you want more info.

I think you're right; perplexity.ai says S&B discontinued the original mighty.

I'd go with the OG mighty; no learning curve, easy on the lungs, discreet, vapes wax and hash. I haven't seen any portables that have come out since then that cover all those bases. the biggest complaints about the mighty are its cost and slow-ish heat-up time (~2 min); if those aren't...

there's a learning curve with these (I have one). once you've figured it out, you might be able to get clouds with minimal coughing, but the vapor path's a short metal tube between the chamber and you (unless you do water filtration).

fwiw, this is what perplexity.ai says on the subject: there is research suggesting that vaporizing cannabis may be less harmful than smoking it, particularly in terms of respiratory effects. However, it's important to note that vaping cannabis still carries risks and is not without potential...

I don't think vaping's been around long enough for there to be much if any good research on its health effects relative to smoking, even more so re comparing vaping concentrates to vaping flower. if you're looking for a vaping device that's easier on your lungs, pay attention to the length of...

I just got one from POTV, $280 with the current discount

call me naive, but I think that if there was a significant body of high-quality research implicating cannabis (not smoking) in health issues, it'd be front-page news. for now, the only area of real concern seems to be that heavy use during adolescence can cause long-term problems.

a few favorite sativas (or leaning): kali mist, power plant, cinderella 99, sleestack, snowcap, cinex. I usually go for sativas, but my favorite indica (or leaning) is purple arrow.

I'm in Seattle; people are mostly smoking, using cart pens, doing medibles. I occasionally smell what's probably a vaporizer, but virtually never see anyone using one.

sorry about that. maybe it'll get picked up by a site without a paywall.

my sweet spot for avoiding both tolerance issues and too much mood disruption is 1-2x/week - but that's just me...

I find this very insightful. I'm a media junkie but have never seen anyone make this observation - it makes total sense. thanks!
