Once again, thank you for your thoughts on the Tempest. I'm gathering that these are not currently available (but perhaps by summer)? After thinking about it, I wish to share a few more thoughts with you about the Lotus. The experience is quite unlike smoking a joint. But the flavor? So...

So here is the deal. In the left rear-ground one can see a (just consumed) Galaxy Blaster hazy IPA by Cellarmaker. Delicious. Never had it previously. Got in on a rec at a local store that specializes in craft beer. I'm a "flavor chaser" when in comes to herb. Same with beer and spirts. I...

A couple of photos. First, my extremely low budget, yet reasonably effective, Lotus J-Hook stand. ""><img src="" title="source: imgur.com" Yes it is made of cardboard and staples. Improvisation! And now a question. I'm not sure how I managed this feat, but I woke up the other day and...

Sounds like the Tempest would be right up my alley. While I have a DV Hyperdyn that I enjoy for its portability and Wand compatibility, the flavor profile (if I'm not being extremely careful) can get overly toasty (burn popcorn), which I don't like. Fortunately I'm generally "careful" and get...

What qualities does the Tespest have that particularly resonate with you? Reading your posts, it seems like we have similar taste. I've never tried a Tempest. Tell me. Same for other Tempest aficionados. Bill

I just used my Lotus with the included J-Hook. Such sweet sweet vapor! May not be the most hard-hitting "monster," but for pure flavor in a relaxed and civilized experience, the Lotus is a winner. Vapman is also top-notch. I'd love to try a Couchlog sometime. Only hear great things. Best...

I will admit that, for myself, the way one needs to use the switches and buttons on the TM2 are not my favorite aspects of this otherwise world-class vape. For example turning the unit to Zero level temp (which is my standard choice) locks out the unit. So I need to set it on 2 (not super easy...

2024 is the year this 50 year cannabis consumer finally fucked combustion. I have invested in some choice gear, and have done extraordinary well at matching gear to my preferences thanks in large measure to the advice and council of members here, so I have not wasted a dime. And I'm grateful to...

I once had the opportunity to do "sound" as part of a film crew that interviewed Charlton Heston at his Mulholland Drive home. As an aside, I had Heston miked with an extremely high-quality German-made Schoeps microphone, monitoring on a good set of cans. Let me tell you, listening to that...

I recently combusted a grand total of one (1) bowl of herb in my new Toker II when it first arrived, just to see if I could produce the same artfully-carberated monster hits that I was used to back in the day. As a test. And the results were a clear "affirmative." Dayum! However, the bong...

Yeah, red lettering, like that. Only a Toker II. Having a carb helps make this bong what it is, so glad not to have a Toker. Thanks for at least semi-validating my memory about the lettering being red. Bill

If I knew what I know now, I would have joined this community sooner. One for the good cheer. Two, I've been able to curate a collection of vaporizers that are quite to my taste and fill certain use niches, without wasting money on mistakes, due in large measure to drawing on the collective...

Despite the heads up from a certain staff member, I added an olive wood stem to my recent 2.0 base order (with steel) because it is romantic and cute and woodsy. Not pleasant to use. I could have listened. I could have. I did not. No one to blame but myself. LOL I will share a "stoned"...

I missed it too. Cost me, whatever, $14 to add another. Call it "backup." A man after my own heart. I wish I still had mine from 76, but the new ones are almost identical. My memory is that the Toker II writing on my original was red. Might be an unreliable memory. One thing that's made me...

The Toker II ships with a vape compatible downstem in addition to the trad downstem as part of the package. I did not realize that when I order mine (and the "sale" was not where near this good), so ordered a 14mm vape style stem. Now I have 2. I'm all about experimenting and I'm definitely a...

I know that scene well from the film version (Paul Newman). I have actually appropriated the idea of "the click" for many decades, only shifting the drug-dependency from alcohol to caffeine (coffee). I'm not as much fun to be around if I haven't felt "the click." LOL The new model seems...

It is a basic straight downstem and one gets two stems, one with a modern 14mm female connector (the one I've been using with vapes) and a traditional glass bowl for combusting. No perc on either. IMO there is no cause to addd a fancier downstem, as the standard ones work beautifully. The...

In the late 70s we were smoking a variety of pure sativas. The most predominant type was "California Sinsemilla." It was glorious. Was grown outdoors to full maturity. Very long grow season. Plants got big. 12 feet and taller with huge kola buds covered with red hairs which dripped with resin...

I'd forgotten about those Tokemasters. They certainly were another highly esteemed water-pipe of the era. It was very cool how they have a shelf for your stuff. While they were a high-status item, and for good reasons, they still didn't hit like a Toker II, which is not unusual--as nothing...

Waiting to lift a bowl to clear a chamber is a positively barbaric way of using a bong in this man's estimation. I understand that is the fashion these days, but ¡qué horror! The art of feathering a carb is a skill that--in the main--seems to have been lost, and I consider that a shame. When...
