    Boiling point myths and the science of flower vaporization

    it can be done - k-type thermocouple, LiFePO4 batteries with 70 amp output, PIC12F683 and 35 pages of assembly code = The Herbal Cube. no practice required. my preferred setting is 420°. all glass air path, except for the herb.

    Athlete Vaporists?

    yeah. thanks. i have been doing about 20 minutes of calisthenics at night - push up, sit up, squat. and recently added a spine twist that has completely eliminated lower back pain in the morning. plus, being exercised seems to tune down the fraught dreams. all the muscles and joints need...

    Athlete Vaporists?

    thanks for these posts, guys. i have watched a few Huberman videos. his recent exercise protocol is a lot like what i do, except my 35 minute aerobics is 5 out of 7 days. i have evolved my own strength training routines as i have aged - now 74 yo. i know that for me, vaping is far better...

    Best Maryland Dispensaries

    downy shore, there aren't many to choose from - luckily, the centreville Ash + Ember is conveniently located and has a wide selection. picked up an 1/8 of Cinderella 99 a year and a half ago, it had one seed, it sprouted, and cloned 10 times before the ambient conditions killed that grow flow...

    Athlete Vaporists?

    i've been low energy for the last several days, too - i attribute it to dystopia fever. finally got a full 35 minutes session on the NordicTrack today and at a good pace. going to try for 5 days in a row. my new strength challenge is to do 1000 seconds/day of hang on the pull up bar - just...

    Athlete Vaporists?

    i definitely relate to the "take more rest" comment. i am still, after 9 years of consistent resistance training, trying to find the right amount - per session and sessions per week. i don't know why a 25 minute session can't be done every day - not nearly as much effort as the typical...

    Athlete Vaporists?

    since you asked ... my basement gym and my Nordic Track Skier continues to be my anchor. i have been hitting higher speed - i.e. faster leg turnover - so developing the full body sweat i crave. i love the hanging on the bar - i swear i can feel a testosterone surge every time i do it - and i'm...

    Athlete Vaporists?

    i only vape flower - i don't trust store bought concentrates, or anything that needs a label listing ingredients - for going on 22 years now after 30 years of smoking joints/glass pipe. i do a gram to 1.5 g per day over 6 to 8 sessions. i do not find this damages my lungs. my performance...

    Athlete Vaporists?

    my house has a basement with a 10' ceiling with a red iron I-beam running the length. i threw two chains over the I-beam and hung a bar between them - very secure - not like a door frame bar that has to be well installed to handle body weight.

    Athlete Vaporists?

    not outside for me ... last time i was on a bike, i was pumping hard to work up a sweat and the chain came off and i went down - that was 8 years ago or so. i prefer inside workout. i passed 74 last march. i do 35 minutes on the Nordic Track skier 3 out of 4 days - this works up a full body...

    First steps into decarb

    i graduated from the NOVA to the FX, which is a dream to clean - totally waterproof, even claims to be dishwasher safe, but i always wash by hand in the sink. spouse uses it all the time to make her sleeping oil.

    The Nomad From Morwood

    @Dan Morrison Have you ever looked into getting a CNC router. it would make short work of the bottom milling, and the cutouts for the springs, etc. may require some hand sanding finishing, but the rough work would be pretty fast. i would be happy to do a dump of all i have worked out. i have...

    What is your daily driver out of your arsenal?

    for me there is only one ... The Herbal Cube ... all day, every day

    Favorite Vaporizer Wood Types

    i love cherry for the grain, how it deepens in color with use, and how well it mills in the CNC router. i want to try oak and maple

    The Convection Thread

    yes, i think this is what is happening. i tried a test: half loaded vial, packed/compressed downward, toothpick to make a hole in the middle of the pack and force the herb against the vial walls. started a session ... at 60 seconds when i normally see whiffs of vapor, there was a lot more...

    The Convection Thread

    my heater coil is 0.3 ohm, so it hits 120 watts max with the 6v power pack. this is throttled by pulse width modulation - an "app" built into the PIC 12F683 architecture. air path is isolated from everything - except herb - by glass. very clean taste. to stay on topic ... i think my design...

    The Convection Thread

    i always wait 90 to 120 seconds before taking my first hit - specifically to allow the vial and the herb to "heat soak". As an assist, the vape software waits 90 seconds from the time the heater measures at the setpoint temp - usually 10 seconds to get to 400°F - and then signals "take a hit"...

    The Convection Thread

    i agree with the need for temp control and PID - has been my passion since 2009. what i have found is that if the battery is sufficiently high current - i.e. LiFePO4 can deliver 70 amps - it is not possible to drop the temperature regardless of the inhale speed - the PID is rock solid. before...

    The Bud Toaster - (currently: Model 14, version 3)

    i appreciate the offer. the case is leather covering matte board. i use a Cricut Maker to cut all the leather and matte board pieces. i use my cnc router to mill four faces of the cube, both sides of the cover, and the inside of the front bezel. so i think i have it covered - except for...
