    PUFFiT portable

    I can't speak for the newer models, maybe they are now great, but the one I had tasted so bad I returned it the same day. I know most portable vapes have an initial bad taste [the only one I have used to have no initial taste is the alfa] but the puffits almost seemed toxic and left a horrible...

    Alfa Vaporizer by goboof

    I got my alfa 4 days ago now so feel I have used it enough to have an opinion . At first I was disappointed as I was getting very weak hits , using the same amount of herb as I would put in my solo, filling the bowl loosely. But after I had tried packing it with maybe twice as much to fill the...

    The ethnobotanical thread

    Just wanted to ask what the best bits of hops are to vaporize, they are starting to bud at work and picked a few buds and some of the new budding bits, that actually look a lot like early flowering cannabis. It's the only plant I have seen to have the white hairs when growing that look just like...

    The ethnobotanical thread

    I tried the pink Lotus, only had a bowl or 2 , definitely felt something, felt stoned at first then it changed into a weird feeling, similar to doing a very small amount of mushrooms with a stimulant. Almost like a caffeine + ephedrine buzz, wasn't sure if it was placebo but it certainly felt...

    Volcano is nothing special

    Not used the volcano but the new Herbalizer is meant to be at vaporizing temperature in 10 seconds using a halogen bulb as a heat source , it uses bags or wands and had been hailed by some as the best vaporizer on the market. For that price it should be.

    The ethnobotanical thread

    I am hoping it is a mix of calamus root and leaves as I have heard the leaves have a very aromatic sweet smell and might taste ok, it certainly looked herby in the picture . They were pretty cheap so I thought it would be worth ago. Will try the blue lotus some when if the pink is any good, I...

    Just ordered some pink lotus flower and calamus root, anyone tried vaping these? Will report back when I have tried them, I wouldn't mind knowing what to expect effects wise, if any,if anyone knows.

    E-Nano from Epickai

    I mainly use the solo which is warm enough in a couple of minutes or the da buddah which is similar in heat up time

    E-Nano from Epickai

    so how long does this thing take to heat up ? If people are worried about pre heating it remotely, I'm thinking it must be a long time, I've never used a decent vape that takes more than a couple of minutes to heat up . I suppose if you are using it for pain relief or something that could be...

    The ethnobotanical thread

    from what I read about lobelia inflata or Indian tobacco it sounds quite habit forming, some people were reporting amphetamine like effects and became addictive if used for to long. I believe Native Americans used to smoke it. Or that is what I was told, I used to work at a botanical gardens...

    Ed's TnT Wooden Vapor Tubes & Vapor Stems

    I got my tnt wooden vapour tube for the solo yesterday and have been using throughout yesterday evening and today. The initial woody taste [ that I actually quite liked , almost like wood smoked weed whiskey type taste] has gone and I am very impressed by this stem. It looks great, there is no...

    Ed's TnT Wooden Vapor Tubes & Vapor Stems

    I have just ordered a solo wooden stem from vapefiend, I love the glass but I have gone through a few stems now. None of them have broke fully and you wouldn't even notice the tiny hairline crack, but it has a noticeable effect on the taste, especially after a few hits when the taste starts to...

    The ethnobotanical thread

    This cannabis cures all cancer things is quite probably nonsense, its can certainly help with the symptoms and there is some scientific evidence it can kill cancer in a culture [so can vitamin c in massive doses but is useless/even dangerous when used on human cancer patients, clinical trials...

    The ethnobotanical thread

    the evidence behind most herbal remedies is shaky at best, many do contain chemicals that may help certain illnesses, but many damage the liver them selves if over used [which happens a lot because people think all natural is safe]. Prescribing a whole bunch of herbs that simulate the effects of...
