    Acid Reflux / Gerd and Vaping + Munchies. How do y’all counter it?

    every body is different. i do two meals a day at 12 noon and 6 pm. i gave up sugar for 30 days, 4 years ago, and that got me started on low carb, healthy fat, no sugar, no processed foods. omnivore with as much organic as i can find - certainly all the meats. i eat more carbs than the...

    Athlete Vaporists?

    no gym bros? i fell off spouse's bike about 10 years ago trying to work up a sweat - the chain slipped off - and haven't been on one since. she got an ebike and rides 10 to 15 miles per outing - maybe 3 to 4 times a week (age 75.5). i still do NordicTrack pro skier - 30 minutes, Bowflex - 20...

    Athlete Vaporists?

    do any of you ebike people (or others) know about reducing the wheels on a Trek Townie from 26" to 24"? spouse is short-ish and after her fall/fracture end of last April i am looking for ways to get her feet more stable on the ground when ebike is stopped - e.g. at a highway crossing - the...

    Athlete Vaporists?

    not much new for me ... start the day with calisthenics - 3x20 hanging knee lift and dips, followed by nordic track skier for 30 minutes of aerobics, then some resistance training on the Bowflex (xtreme 2) 1x20 for eight exercises - sometimes 2x20, ending the day with 1x50 pushups, situps and...

    What happened to Rastabuddhatao ?

    i tried that for a while - got a PWM on ebay. the problem was the correct point for the temperature i wanted was just a small adjustment on the potentiometer - very touchy to get right. eventually i found the MAX6675 which reads a k-type thermocouple and can be clocked by a PIC12F683 to read...

    Athlete Vaporists?

    i calculated my VO2Max from the formula: 15 * (MaxHR / Resting HR), mine is 150/53, so about 42 and age 75. i hit theoretical max HR or 5% above on the Nordic Track and maintain for 20 minutes for 5 days a week. been doing it for 40 years. it has worked for me.

    Could you be happy with just one vape (and which is it)?

    after more than a dozen years of using The Herbal Cube it is the only vape for me.

    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...
