    Praise for a $12 wax pen? Airistech Quaser

    When I started exploring vaping, my first adventure was using shatter in a Yocan Regen. With shatter, I can make my head spin, but I find the buzz doesn't last. It also makes me cough, but the Regen is pretty brutal. None the less, I don't have a proper dap rig, so I have been using the Regen...

    Rig for wax/shatter with a $200 budget?

    When I jumped to vaping, I briefly toyed with using shatter in a Yocan Regen. Why? When I bought the shatter, the store suggested the Yocan. For a cheap unit, it does the job, the parts are inexpensive and available, and for starting out, it was OK. I eventually went all in on dry herb vaping...

    Which 18650 batteries do you trust?

    There is a thread here on 18650 Safety, but I don't see one specifically about what batteries are good, and which batteries are not so good. I have used these batteries in industrial electronics for years. They are great batteries, but they can be dangerous. When shorted, these batteries can be...

    Why have I been grinding my herb? Do you grind or rip?

    The first time I tried dry herb vaping, I ground my herb, because 'that's what you do'. Thinking about it, that might not make sense. When smoking weed, grinding is the norm, so when I dry herb vape, i use ground flower. Today I asked myself "why?", and I didn't have a reason. It inspired me...

    Most efficient hardware

    For some reason, these dry herb things keep showing up and to really understand them, they need to be used; not in the bad sense. They want to be productive, they want to do what they were designed to do, and I am helping them do that. After trying my Vane, Solo II, VERB, Airistech Switch, XMax...

    Stop chasing the dragon - Respect the ritual

    This whole year has stressful for me; the years before even worse. That's not as bad as it sounds, but safe to say, we all have our personal purgatories. Around March or April, I had to put down my dog. He had cancer. Usually, I'm pretty stoic, but this seemed to be a trigger. Long story...

    Airistech Switch 3 In 1

    Full review coming... First impressions for less than $45, this isn't bad. Very basic unit with three temps: hot, hotter, & hot as hell. Box says 220mah battery. I've run one bowel through the Switch. At this point I can say, yes it works, draw is OK, and it give me a light buzz.

    Favorite way to use kief?

    Every now and then I see kief come on sale priced between $4-6/gram. It usually more expensive that, but every now and then it can be found at a good price. Typically, I will mix some kief with my flower for the day, and have a vape. How about everyone else? How do you like to use kief...

    How's your draw? Sip, rip, or something else

    When I first got into vaping, my initial thought was that I would need to vape more cannabis, to maintain the same psychoactive effect, so every time i vaped, I turned the heat as high as it could go, and tried ripping down as hard as I could. I then started researching and found lots of other...

    Psychoactive effects vaping vs smoking

    One of the things I am still figuring out, are the psychoactive effects of vaping versus smoking. When I first started vaping, I thought that the psychoactive effects were much less than smoking, but my thoughts are evolving. I'm now of the thought that describing the psychoactive as...

    Feeling of wax pen versus DHV

    How many here use concentrates, as well as dry herb? As well as dry herb vaping, I picked up a Yocan pen and a few grams of shatter/wax, and decided to give it a try. What I have found is that the hits off the wax are very very intense, as they should be, The TCH hits me to the point where I...

    Have you tried methyl hydrate, aka gas line antifreeze, to soak your screens?

    I've been finding to be less expensive and works better than isopropyl. My suggestion would be putting your screens in a ziploc bag with some methyl hydrate, shake, leave for a hour or so, shake, and continue until clean. Leave the screens to dry outside on paper towel; it shouldn't take more...

    Packing a vape - each one is different

    The one thing that I have discovered is that how a vape is packed makes a huge difference. There doesn't seem to be any absolute rules, but every vape different, as us every herb. Yocan Vane This was my first vape. The Vane works, but it is very fussy with packing. It prefers rough ground...
