    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    @DabComa ... Ehrh ... are those girls under your photo like, friends or relatives of yours? So is your heat-up fast enough to your liking? When you push the button with the coil all loaded with substance like that, what happens? How long does it cook and sputter? So you vape it while it's...

    Arizer Solo

    FWIW I got mine on e-bay for $139 fast ship included from easyvape. One of the stems was out of round. I wrote them via e-bay and Patrick replied within 24 hours and said he's sending me another. He's sold thousands it seems. It arrives so cleverly compactly packed, right off a pallet, from Reno...

    I ordered 10 of the 8mm (2.75" x 2.5" I think) at 62 which is what their blurb recommended.

    Eggzactly! Metal wool works OK too. Anybody know the combustion temp of cotton? I would guess same as other cellulose, like paper and cannabis plant matter.

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    @realz Look at the label on the power adapter you got with your FireFly. It says Input 100-240 volts AC. That covers 99.99% of the planet. It also says output 12 V DC. Your 9 volt setting is wrong. Honestly, people should READ the labels. You do not need a different power supply, and you do NOT...

    Isn't it wonderful that we can actually sample all this? During the previous peak of cannabism in the late 60s, we could speculate all we wanted on what the different cannabinoids did, but it took 50 years of brilliant horticulture to create this cornucopia of cannabis strains, with such...

    Arizer Solo

    Where is the SEARCH function on this forum? Can someone help with the best ways to vape small amounts of oil with the Solo? And on the newer units (the ones that can be used with charger plugged in) - how do you tighten the o-ring around the stem?

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    Welcome @euph0ric1 ! I guess there are other people like me who like the "to the point" vape. I can't see having to fill a Pax oven for 1 person. Here's 0.050g, 50 mg, of Red Congolese. It's over 21% THC, so 50mg herb -> 10mg THC. And lovely terpenes. A nice wake n' bake before getting down to...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    That's great coil lore. OK, gents, let's go for some FACTS. I've broken my reluctance, surmounted my resistance, and to the limits of my fiscal capacitance, I've ordered a decent quality laser pistol-grip InfraRed digital thermometer, w/ 12:1 D:S, adjustable emissivity, and a -58 to...

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    OK, guys, I'm maybe starting a new business. I have an IR distance thermometer on the way, -58 to 1112 deg F, adjustable emissivity, 12:1 D:S ratio. A nice unit. Now I will be in a position to answer that nagging question: How hot is that FireFly? when? where? Plus, if you got some hot shit...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    I broke down and ordered an IR thermometer. Found one that goes up to 600 deg C or 1112 Deg F. The whole e-cig experience is IMHO entirely different. I think we're a bit unsure of how to get to the goal, which is a portable electronic concentrate vape, that tastes and feels no worse than a Ti...

    Specifically 1/2" ID tubing. That only requires a little stretching. I'm using clear vinyl at the moment, cost $2 at the hardware store. On "stuff in mouth" there are obviously a lot of possible solutions. The one that works best for me is very simple: leave sticky resin traces on the metal...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    I've been hesitating to buy an IR unit, they aren't very expensive, but it's kind of a one trick pony, and there must be all sorts of ways to misread them, if someone's coming up with 100 deg F on a hot nail. A K-thermocouple that can safely touch a red hot Ti nail is another possibility. But...

    Arizer Solo

    So much cool glass too! I ordered the only Gong adapter I could find, a "PVHEGonG Female 18MM Shorty Turbo" as an adapter to a bubbler. I see it's a shorter chambered stem, and I read that these have somehow a looser draw, but don't know anything more about them. What can you tell me...

    What STRAIN works the best for your condition?

    Could be. THCV doesn't vaporize until 428 deg F! It could be part of that final vape fraction that comes through best from high temp vaping or smoking.

    The Magic-Flight Box

    OK, @Quetzalcoatl that makes sense, because on the battery it's a bit of a runaway stallion. I guess our $20 e-bay power adapter is long sold. I can relate to the simplicity of the MFLB. But I guess I'm still in the discovery phase and liking other units a bit more. But here's an interesting...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    Yo, @smatchimo55 ! Ok, you said it. 900 degrees F. So, you're aiming for nail type temps. But in that case isn't the best flash vaporization going to come from dripping onto a damned hot surface, like a ribbon wire arranged so as to create a contiguous surface? I'm wondering if the whole wick...

    Arizer Solo

    I'm really impressed with how evenly the ABV browns in the Solo. I managed to make a half-assed dome out of a little brass screen. Not very durable. I was thinking maybe just make a little pad a few mm thick out of fine brass wool, torch it and flatten it nicely so it's textured more like a...

    What STRAIN works the best for your condition?

    Yes, yes. But what can you do if your wife, who's such a good sport, and seldom partakes, just haaaapens to prefer smoked? Eh? I'm trying to get her weaned off with a Solo set to 6 or 7, but I have a feeling she has a weakness for combustion. Tragic. Yes, combustion has torn families apart. So...

    What STRAIN works the best for your condition?

    @ataxian All very good points. I just drove down to a dispensary across town because they had my darling at $130 an ounce. And this is a 21% THC Sativa that vapes into energy. So, having confirmed the identity, I wuz energetically thinkin' maybe go back tomorrow, drop the cash and devote 28.34g...
