It's a valid point to raise, however, because the assumptions of the researcher are built into the testing model. If they don't know what they're looking for they won't build it into their model. Anecdotally, I'm the only researcher at my university with personal experience in this space. Not...

If you're interested in a desktop I still haven't found anything that bests an EVO.

Robert-in-YEG raises an excellent point to consider. I rarely load concentrates now because the puffing is at least as important to me as the effects and I was blowing through a gram every day or two. Besides the hit to my wallet and tolerances, it wasn't as fun as it sounds to consistently...

Used to do this many years ago when I used ice cubes. This "infused" water was actually pretty tasty. Now I use hot water (when I fill it) and don't change the water in my hydratube often enough to think it would be tasty or safe. As someone said make sure you keep your glass as clean as a...

I had/have the same concern but I eventually took that as a reason to get one! I don't want an "upgrade." I want a side grade that won't obviate my bent tube. :) I'd love to have the piece you have there, though. I'll let you know how it is using the straight tube on Monday. I speculate it's...

That information was posted in this thread last Sunday.

It's not massive. It's slightly smaller in diameter but taller than the other hydratubes: I haven't used mine yet, but here is what was reported: "Smooth as fuck with a new basket" "Like smoother then in actually breathing"

Maybe we're dealing with islanders. The name, Hanu, is Hawaiian anyway. I haven't interacted with the new management yet so I can't say one way or the other...but islanders tend to operate in a different state of mind that would probably infuriate others who aren't familiar with it (and even...

My Crown Hydratree is supposed to arrive on Monday. From the description it seems like it's higher quality than the ones that have been sold recently. Mine is one of the OG models so it's thick, hefty, and relatively solid. My friend, by contrast, broke hers within a few days of receiving it and...

The conversation seems to be about processes that may lead to feeling more or less stoned and sociological factors certainly play a role in that.

I definitely agree it's a big "if" and that's where I anticipated the conversation to center around rather than disputing whether CO2 does or doesn't make people high...since "CO2 gets people high" wasn't my point. I can see that I handled that part of the conversation clumsily since you're...

I can wrap my mind around that perspective. If you check my post history you'll notice I only check in once in a while every few years. It may very well be true that I'm not aware of what is available on the market currently. I'll try to be less verbose :) The argument is not: conduction...

Yet another example of your continual straw-manning this conversation. It's obvious to anyone approaching this conversation in good-faith that I am not arguing smoke gets people high due to any psychoactive components in the smoke. Just like it's obvious I am not arguing people get high from...

1. Combustion can lead to smoke inhalation. T/F? 2. CO2 inhalation/oxygen deprivation can lead to symptoms similar to being "high" even when the "smoke" has no psychoactive qualities. T/F? 3. Therefore, smoking enough of anything can lead to feeling "high." T/F? You quoted the longform of...

Yes, it's nonsensical the way that was written. That's what straw-man arguments do. What I claimed was that the state of being "high" is a socially learned responses to certain physiological stimuli. Then I listed various examples of people experiencing distressful physiological stimuli, some...

The problem is that you're doing it in a bad faith way. In addition to that, you have made several personal comments about me--I simply chose to ignore them. That doesn't make them any less offensive, though. Aside from the fact there are ways to approximate smoking even that isn't my argument...

You continually straw-man my position. This is the first sentence of my first post where I made the claim you continually mistake: "1. Conduction often leads to harmful side effects of combustion, such as, smoke inhalation." Similarly, I never claimed that "using conduction vaporizers...

Yes, that's what I thought, too. When I asked Seibo if I could have a bamboo shipped to me to replace the one that broke he said it required specialized assembly given how tightly they engineered the air path. It's not just the length of the bamboo that matters (although I agree that's...

Before I cite additional sources that you'll refuse to read (yet argue about nonetheless), I want to be clear on what you think you're disputing: 1. Being "high" is a social learning response wherein participants link harmful physiological factors with pleasurable social/psychological factors...

That is not a fair or accurate representation of what occurred in this discussion. I stated my credentials, cited a scientific journal article, and summarized that article for the discussants. If discussants want to dispute the claims made in that article then it behooves them to read it. I...
