    Anybody gone edibles only?

    No need to apologize, I have a reasonably thick skin! I know Simvastatin is a statin, I told you the specific one in case you could shed light on that one in particular. I am still genuinely interested in what you mean by a liver lipid dump, and believe me, I would have preferred to blame my...

    Anybody gone edibles only?

    I think you are being pretty defensive for some reason. By quoting "known liver disease" you seem to imply that I have liver disease and just don't know it despite my routine blood testing, and that I experienced a "liver lipid dump," would you mind explaining what that is? If you understand...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    Yes, when you're in "in demand" mode. You press the button and will see the coffee cup symbol that the device is heating. When it is ready, the device vibrates once. Then you draw and release the button when you're done. At that point, it you don't press a button to start heating again or...

    Anybody gone edibles only?

    I love you all, but you're not going to biopsy my liver (too late, anyway). I tried to make clear that I did not make any other material changes over the relevant time period. I get routine blood tests and don't have any liver problems whatsoever, let alone high estrogen and moobs caused by...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    I have been using the Fury Edge dosing capsules in the V3 Pro and they fit and function pretty nicely.

    TinyMight / TM 2

    I think some people have added a screen to keep the cooling unit clean longer, but I don't. I rotate three stems, and haven't needed to clean any of them yet. I also think someone fashioned a basket screen and put that in the stem after the herb (so cooling unit, herb and then basket screen)...

    TinyMight / TM 2

    There have been some changes, but nothing tremendous. Stuff like how to turn the led light on or off, different color leds, etc. Also a few upgrades/improvements to address common failure points, but not fundamental design changes. I recommend at least the o-ring kit. If you take things...

    Anybody gone edibles only?

    I don't know whether a different form of edibles would have avoided the situation. I had eaten other edibles previously, but once I was taking edibles exclusively, I had landed on tincture as the best route for me (very easy to adjust the dose slightly, as opposed to 5 mg gummies), and I was...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    Glad this got sorted out, but I don't think the instructions are wrong: To switchover to “ON DEMAND” mode, click the “up button” and “down button” simultaneously once. Keep holding the “power button” for less than 30 seconds once while inhaling when under “ON DEMAND” Mode. The second...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    Mine also has the rolling ball terminal, and it just seems tight getting the battery in and out. I don't think I damaged my wrap, but after reading the comments here and charging externally twice, I just decided I will charge the battery in the vape. For me personally, the removable battery...

    GIVEAWAY! HEY XMAX FAM, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

    Gun Metal was my vote.

    Anybody gone edibles only?

    Just to clarify, I don't have any liver issues and my doctor was not primarily concerned about my liver, he was concerned that the high triglycerides could trigger acute pancreatitis. I do have a history of high triglycerides, but nothing even close to over 1,000 -- more like 200, but it's...

    Alternative vape to the Grasshopper?

    I am another fan of the V3 Pro if you really want a pen type shape. But for carrying around, I think it is kind of tall to be comfortable and secure (and with the glass mouthpiece, it is even taller). For ease of carrying I like the Fury Edge, but it doesn't have a removable battery and isn't...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    I also prefer a shape more like the Edge or Tinymight, but find that the V3 functions pretty well. To get stronger hits/thicker vapor, have you tried covering some of the air holes in the body? I just use my fingers and slide them up or down to cover some of the air holes, which I find gives...

    Anybody gone edibles only?

    The tincture I was using was based on MCT oil, not alcohol -- it was the Wishing Well tincture sold by NETA in Mass. I also quit alcohol very close to 100%, but not strictly like an alcoholic would. I thought (and still think) cannabis would be healthier than alcohol, but the small amount in a...

    Anybody gone edibles only?

    My doctor accepted that it was the most likely cause, after I explained the situation to him. I can't say he was "sure" that was the cause, but stopping the edibles was followed by my number returning to its baseline, so we got the result we wanted and a reasonable explanation for the increase...

    Anybody gone edibles only?

    I was using Wishing Well sativa tincture sold by NETA in Mass, roughly 25 mg every day. I know I am a sample size of 1, but there are studies that found THC can raise triglycerides. Not specific to edibles per se, but that's just how it luckily turned out for me (I can still vape, after all...

    Anybody gone edibles only?

    I had the same experience trying to put it under my tongue -- I never seemed to get the sub-lingual onset 20 minutes later, as promised. So I just started washing tincture down with water, in which case it just acted like an ordinary edible. It may have had a quicker onset, but I never paid...

    Anybody gone edibles only?

    In terms of tolerance, I found that mine plateaued at around 25 mg. That is with daily use, but just once a day. Onset would be a little over an hour after taking it, with the effects lasting around 2 hours. Getting the dose right does take some trial and error, and probably a few days of...

    Anybody gone edibles only?

    I was using tinctures fairly exclusively for a while as an edible (not sublingual, which I could never get to "work"). Once you get your preferred dose dialed in, it is pretty easy to get predictable effects and to adjust as needed. I really enjoyed the gradual onset and overall effects. One...
