    I just saw the moon

    @Planck, you should enjoy video of the starlink satellites reentering, then :) SpaceX are doing a presentation on their next generation rocket Starship and the Super Heavy Booster tonight, in preparation for which they have stacked them on top of each other using their fancy new tower for the...

    I just saw the moon

    One of the many fun things about JWST is that thanks to it I've learned about Lagrange points. And I have to say I'm quite partial to L4 & L5. No adjustments needed to stay there, what's not to like? I mean sure, the instruments on JWST would be useless thanks to the sun, and the chances of a...

    The Wim Hof Method Thread

    To partly answer my own questions here, I recently watched the video at the end of @EverythingsHazy's original post here, of a doctor examining some of the physiological effects, and it was really good, I definitely recommend it. That doctor was also friends with Scott Carney, and interviewed...

    The Wim Hof Method Thread

    Well, I've been doing the Wim Hof method breathing daily (with some exceptions over the festive break), and have been really enjoying it. The first few sessions were semi psychedelic, which was a fun and pleasant surprise, but that seems to have passed now. But the more important thing is that I...

    Best vape for the ski lift?

    Yeah, a vapcap with a quad torch would seem reasonable to me, so long as the look and sound of the torch wasn't a problem for you (ski lifts aren't something I've used before). An induction heater like the Orion would be better for stealth and speed in the cold, but that's expensive and...

    The Wim Hof Method Thread

    I've been reading the book Breath by James Nestor, which has been great. I just got to the chapter where he talks about the Wim Hof method and Tummo (the Tibetan Buddhist breathing & meditation practice which he says Wim Hof's practices are good simplifications of). It's super interesting - the...

    Completed SOLD - Reliable Ti Grasshopper with 7 batteries, Delta3D leather case, and lots of accessories

    Hi folks, finally time to sell my trusty GH, as it doesn't see much use and I lost my job so need the money, sadly. It's a Ti Grasshopper, bought in 2016, lightly used (average once per week 2016-2019, hardly at all since, but I tested it yesterday and today to great effect :cool:). The body...

    Completed Custom Winegums Wooden vapcap case, Vong stem and OG vapcap [all sold]

    All of these are very lightly used, and have just been sitting in my drawer for the last couple of years - I figured I should send them to someone who can give them a better home. I'm happy to ship to anywhere if you're happy to pay a bit extra to cover the shipping. I'd prefer payment in...

    CBD Cannabis UK & EU

    Ah, right, so is it the case then that in the UK to try to stay the right side of regulators "CBD tea" is the thing to look for, if you want flower from legal businesses? Thanks for the recommendation for the company, anyway, it's good to hear of a good company for once!

    CBD Cannabis UK & EU

    Yeah, looking at that website I think their offerings look pretty suspect - "proprietary herbal blend" does not sound like proper CBD cannabis at all. It's a pity the market is so unregulated here. I wish I could offer you suggestions but I haven't bought CBD much, and what I have bought hasn't...

    What's your favorite torch or lighter to use with the Vapcap?

    I tried to attach an image of my Xikar Verano to my last post, but it looks like it didn't work, so I'm trying again; hopefully it'll be visible here.

    What's your favorite torch or lighter to use with the Vapcap?

    I'll reply to my own post. Perhaps unsurprisingly I caved and bought the Xikar Verano lighter recently. I really like it. It's surprisingly quiet, and the flame is quite entrancing. Not a big performance upgrade or anything, but it's a very nice object to use. It heats in around the time of a...

    Dynavap VapCap

    Exactly the same here, I used a torch for the first time in months a few days ago, and it was a really nice change. I do love my Orion IH - it's unbeatable outside, is silent, super fast, and nice and easy, but there's a lot more you can tune things with a torch. I love the depth of tuning you...

    What's your favorite torch or lighter to use with the Vapcap?

    What are people's opinions on flat flame lighters? I'm tempted to get one (looking at the Xikar Verano), because I like the idea of having more options to either have a very targeted heat source if the flame is perpendicular to the vapcap, or a broad flame that hits most of the cap, just by...

    Dynavap VapCap

    Thanks for that! You're right, that's fine for me, the 75% option only got in the way, and I can't imagine there were many people for whom the full size chamber was far too big but the 50% option was far too small :)

    Dynavap VapCap

    Has the adjust-a-bowl feature changed in the new tips? I noticed that the new Omni page mentions "our two position Adjust-a-Bowl feature". My (late 2017) Omni has grooves for 3 different bowl sizes (roughly 100%, 75% and 50%). Granted this is achieved through 2 extra grooves, offering the 2...

    Ah, I see. The current Omni (e.g. the one after the one in the photograph) was released in 2017, not 2018, I know because I bought it then.

    Dynavap VapCap

    Isn't the current (not upcoming) Omni the same as it was in 2017? I haven't kept up with Dynavap too closely for a long time.

    Dynavap VapCap

    New Omni looks nice to me - I've been keen to see what they release next there for years! I do hope the parts are still interchangeable with the older Omnis, I personally prefer the aesthetics of my 2017 Omni stem, and the mouthpiece, but would very much like to try out that fancy condenser with...

    TV Shows - General Discussion

    I just started watching Succession and am really enjoying it so far. Highly recommended. Also I don't know if Fleabag has been mentioned here, but that's great; hilarious and smart from start to finish. And I've been working my way back through Six Feet Under, having last watched it when I was a...
