Probably not, given that you can't pick raisins. You pick grapes, and then dry them to make them raisins. ;)
I suspect the expression comes from the fact that when you pick cherries, you have to choose which are ripe and which are not as you're picking them. So you're not picking the whole tree...
I use almost exclusively molicels these days and they never last very long in my wand. 4 to 6 full heats maybe. More if I'm only reheating. I have always marveled at people who got many more heat ups than I did, but I have blamed it on my Wand. I have three pairs that I rotate through, so I...
I prefer 18mm joints for everything but with occasional items I'm not given an option. That's why in that picture you'll see an 18 to 14mm reducer for my Tempest adapter. Most of the vapcap/Tempest style 8mm stem adapters have 14mm joints. That's OK because I have a bunch of reducers around, but...
Mike at Oregon Glass blowers made it for me basically to my specs. He made a bunch of my rbt stems as well. Great work.
I like putting some distance between me and the can.
This is the piece @Shit Snacks was pointing you to. Just the bottom section without the ash catcher. I have it and it is very versatile, though I always use it with water. It works well with a number of my vapes, including the Tempest. It is my daily driver at the moment, currently using it...
Besides everything I have read suggesting that silicone is a safer and better option, in my own experience, any vinyl tubing I have seen has always had an unpleasant odor and was significantly less flexible. Some vinyl came with an Herbalaire I purchased many years ago with an air pump for...
Incidentally, I don't know if everybody feels the same way, but I have never used a whip that came with a glass piece from China because I had no faith in the quality of the silicone. I have always bought my own medical/food grade silicone for using for whips. That may be paranoia, but I am...
I've never been a huge fan of the globes, but I am a big fan of the UFO. The air flow is pretty much wide open. I particularly like the UFO because with the joint you can put any kind of mouthpiece on it you want, including the whip they include. If you do like the whip, the UFO is a heavy...
I do that, too, but also if there's enough light and you can see threads all the way around the screen, your golden. I'm usually in a darker room so I use a flashlight.
For me turning it counterclockwise until it seats flat before turning it clockwise to catch the threads seems to work nearly all the time. It may take a couple tries. If the screen is not caught in the threads properly, you will likely dump your balls out when you go to empty and refill it. If...
