I'm not so sure about the expense. Classically this could be done with molds made of plaster of Paris. Like fine china. Or 'cheap china' for that matter. They could easily be cast in volume from a single wood model, or perhaps two models for the two halves. Slip (very watered down clay) is...

We like to encourage @ataxian to play with words, you've no idea what he plays with otherwise....... Or maybe you do? OF

I think it's worth remembering that while a tariff is an increase in cost, it's done at the wholesale (import) level typically. If the 'cost from China is say 30% of retail, and we have a 25% increase in that cost the actual retail is increased much less. Say 7%? But just to keep it complex...

Exactly so, excellent "Materials Science" there. To give credit where it's due I think the shape of the pan is also a key to success. Heat energy is stored there and delivered to the herb over time in a controlled/predictable manner. Again, very solid Engineering in an elegant design. The...

Well made for sure, but is anyone really sure they aren't assembled (and tested) in Canada? That is the 'assembled in Canada' claim only for some models or an up front fib? FWIW all the units from China seem counterfeit in obvious areas unlike many vapes made in China. However it gets in the...

Actually, as I understand it, it depends on particle size, not time. Lots of study done no this. "Ideal particle size' (a few microns) makes it deep down, and is absorbed in quantity. Larger particles never make it that far. Smaller ones (sub micron) never impact sufficiently to be absorbed...

Many years ago, Terry McGovern (local radio guy) held a contest to complete the joke that starts "3 Popes walk into a bar......". The winner went '.....the bartender looks up and says, 'we don't get many of your type in here, what'll it be?' The first says, 'I'll have Holy Water'. The second...

Well they seem to think they're making them in Canada......Waterloo to be specific? https://www.medicaljane.com/directory/company/arizer/ While I'm sure at least some parts come from China (what doesn't these days?), many of their products clearly say "Assembled in Canada"? And IMO that's the...

To paraphrase the saying on Saint Patrick's Day, "Today, everyone is Chinese". It's a Holy Ritual as I see it. Why risk your immortal soul on such a small oversight? OF

https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/6/eaaw1391 While it's long been known ancients grew hemp for fiber and hemp seed oil, this has very low THC (as it does today). This is the first known use for 'medicinal properties' of THC. Years ago I read of hash recovered from early Mediterranean...

Now that's just plain silly. What did you plan to do with unhappy VM owners? You'd have to feed them, and keep a constant eye on them to keep them out of your stash? Best have them stay home and grouse...... OF

Ten? Only the new guys.....and wimps of course. It's your duty to support our Makers you know.......... OF

No, and this is a controversial topic (or can become one), but in fact the thickest hits from vapes like this come from very slow hits. Watch some of the videos of guys 'milking' or 'chalking' their WTs. The vapor in there becomes amazingly dense (hence the names) literally looking like it's...

Actually you can, in fact the same battery works in either unit. The pack for Solo II has about 50% greater capacity. You need tools and moderate skills, so it's not like say ArGo or Air, but it's definitely possible. Great choice with Solo, you won't be disappointed. OF

Does this mean we gotta bring your stuff back? I think if you don't respond to notices for a bit, they stop sending them. It's happened to me a few times now. Good to have you back! OF

I'm a four or six kinda guy. Although I agree, the unused LEDs are nice, fun to watch while heating and charging. Also a handy 'read' on the charge level which becomes really important near the bottom sometimes...... OF

To quibble a bit here, the first two don't really exist as separate classes? They are supsets of the third. That is to say all Cannabis flower has both THC and CBD even if to a very minor degree. Like watering your scotch, all you'll ever have is scotch and water? All you can do is work with...

Yup, same family. And don't all plants flower to some degree? Hemp really is a weed (perhaps the source of that slang term?). I had a roomie in college that grew up on a ranch. They had it in the gully around the gate, generations of his family had tried to keep it out of the crops. No, it...

I don't think that's accurate. That is hemp has no useful CBD either? Don't waste your time vaping or smoking hemp doormats or old rope....... No medicinal value. Hemp is grown for fiber content, mechanical properties, once widely used to make paper for instance. And considered a 'strategic...

Good point, it will lessen over time. But when it becomes OK is subjective, if the OP is sensitive to it (and apparently is) it could take a long time. Also, remember, Linseed oil is only an oil until it dries. Unlike say mineral oils or waxes. It then becomes very hard, stable and long...
