In related battery news, I recently picked up some Molicel p30s to replace the played-out set of p26s I use in my Toad— they’re the same heaters as the Nomad. The performance jump from my 3yr-old p26s (with lots of cycles) has been huge. I’d been doing ~:25 draws, but with the new p30s, I...

That Spalted Tamarind is a revelation. But damn that Spalted Maple Burl! So dynamic and alive. Congrats to the owners! The way the brass is inlaid perfectly flush/true on EVERY SINGLE ONE… just tremendous.

Dropping in to give a plug for the low heater. It’s great. I’ve been revisiting the low heater for the past month or so. The 7-second preheat Dan recommends is a great start from cold, after which I draw as slowly as possible. In my case, that's about 25-30 secs. I can pull clouds but the...

Buy direct from the maker: https://www.solwe.com/online-shop/en/ Shipping is free for orders over €25, so you’re looking at $44 all-in. It’s a keeper.

The man’s got some quads, too. 😉

Cool visual riddle. It’s easy to see the session in the shapes but think of all the associations you need to instantly draw that conclusion. So I lay my brain cells on the altar of knowledge. 😎

The CCP heavily subsidizes the manufacturing (that the free market capitalists outsourced). Even outsourcing to a distorted labor market is inefficient compared to running one in your own backyard. The free market isn’t a system— it’s a lack of system. Not letting undocumented children butcher...

Fyi, Monopoly gets most of its names from Atlantic City’s street plan. However you feel about the Jersey Shore, it’s definitely on the water, Coney Island whitefish and all. Back when I was still combusting, a friend and I got blazed in a lifeguard tower then hit a casino. A bartender got a...

Well, goddamn. ❤️

I recently saw a post where a well-known maker had decided to quit the dry herb vape space (yet again), claiming that: given the declining condition of the market over the past few years, no one in there [sic] right mind would decide to make an entry. That got me wondering so I looked into it...

After trying X number of vapes, I feel like I’ve got a handle on what I like and the kind of vape that’s likely to deliver it. It’s easy to rule out products when it’s pretty clear they’re not a good fit. But something new’s always coming down the pike and the constant reinvention of the wheel...

Are we, um, still talking about vaping here? 😜

One of my few gripes with the Vapman has been the lack of an on-the-go solution that doesn’t require breaking down the unit. I’ve found two: #1) Soft-sided but pocketable with elastic keepers for torches, scoops, MPs, etc. The Aomai’s for show but you can easily fit the Vapman torch with room...

I used to think you had the coolest toys but I’ve come to realize that you actually have the coolest spouse. Happy Lotus Friday! 👍

THE OTHER US Remember when the gardeners Were only black not brown You’d see them on the neighbors’ lawns But never past sundown Or when the most exotic food Was Chinese take-away They’d cross the ocean just to cook But we wouldn’t let them stay If you chanced to know an Indian They’d be the...

I recently switched to using the glass MP with my OG hashman. I’ll vape a sieve of charas until it’s mostly cashed, fluff the crumbs a final time, and sprinkle some flower on top. Cash that and dump.* The theory is that the glass gives better flavor, but IME the longer length actually mutes it...

Maybe we should start a new section: Untried and Untested Mods for Upcoming and Unreleased Vapes. Thinking this urinary fluid dynamics contest isn’t of general interest. ✌️

From the horse’s mouth: Alternatively, try Battery University, but that requires more reading, thinking, and general paying attention than most of us want to put in. I mean what’s the worse that could happen? 🤷‍♂️

He has single-handedly redefined the ball vape. All others must now be known as balls vapes. Kudo! 🫡
