Hey fellow Aussies

Great thread and thanks for that @Deja Vu
Yes I have had my brain removed he he. And hello @Mr. Gweilo 420 & @Frederick McGuire @herbivore21 @canj00digit? & @4tokin among others.

Background...I'm originally Irish begorra & moved here to the Sunshine Coast Queensland after travelling quite a bit around.

that was 8 years ago from the U.K. to escape the cold and enjoy the lifestyle ,beer beaches and 4wding and fishing none of which I actually do regular,apart from a daily Guinness tonic or a beer or two at the weekend. I live a stones throw from Steve Irwins zoo and actually worked there for a time.he was a crazy guy and is respected and missed here..a little known fact..he loved to party hard say no more

I became naturalised last year on Australia Day.we have some of the toughest laws in the world here.i pass police random breath checkpoints daily esp during holidays,the police will just shut down a section of road/highway in a sting and screen every driver who stumbles unaware upon their checkpoints.mostly booze but they usually profile You and that's when the saliva tests are produced from those big white testing vans becoming more and more familiar.kids I've spoke to growing up here are scared and intimidated driving about tbh.its sad for them really.it was never like this for my generation growing up.facebook & twitter however have several threads spying on police cams and checkpoints warning people.

they the govt have just brought a new law in here just a few days ago because of all this Isis propaganda BS which allowed them to go to town with new restrictive laws that will control us more and send journos massive fines & straight to prison if they report on anything that is government sensitive.in other words if you are not govt media,say an independent media journalist and say the wrong thing you could end up in jail.go figure 1984 and Orwell are alive and well.

so for folks abroad wondering how do Australian people deal with their hard knocks and harsh rules?......the only way they know how. Most ignore it pretty much....gotta hand it to em,they don't give a flying f@&k and do what they want regardless.there is a saying here it's only illegal if you get caught

Well laws here and general media brainwashing provoked me to move further away from the grid,that is no more TV in our home. No channels 9, 7 or 10 or even sbs on my TV. I stream all my shows advert free now at home from reliable websites through a PC straight to screen. We don't bother with news apart from google searches or in dependant news channels or Youtube ..life is good and we manage.One thing I m noticing are the amount of people waking up to all the BS around us .the lies and stuff we all listen to.i won't go on about it.its there open you're eyes.the rabbit hole goes deep.

As for herbage I would love more strains.mostly organic outdoor grown round these parts $280 or so on the oz,easy to find if you know people.hard if You don't.

reefer madness is rife here in every day news papers and TV .if you ain't going to the gym or drinking coffee you are the unclean.

Great people here I feel for them they deserve a better ride for sure.

Aside from over the top rules,life is great here.relaxed as,hot as here in summer and rarely drops below mid 60s in winter,the sun hurts you're skin here if you are from colder climates.there are lots of skin check clinics. Free bbqs scattered around everywhere in parks etc.Beer is plentiful and is drunk in vast quantities despite the crazy prices.the Irish drink.aussies drink by the gallon. $60 for. Case of corona which I've been told the govt collects over 80% of that in revenue,god damn pesky pollys.
Fags are $27 a pack of 25.now you see what doing it tough is all about if you smoke.

I love to walk early in the mornings.my favourite places are waterfalls ,many of which a you are allowed to swim in.i usually with a portable,usually the vapman

Anywayz she will be right,the sun will shine tomorrow as always .


@dorkus_molorkus where are You man?

Hi, fellow Aussie I didnt even know this thread existed found by accident. I live about 40mins away from Nimbin near Ballina Northern NSW my brother lives at Nimbin say no more!!!
Lived in Sydney most of my life except for a 10 year stint with my first wife then back to Sydney for 10 now back here with second wife going on 15 years. Next year we hope to move to a duplex we bought at Kawana Island on the Sunshine Coast. I read your stuff with great interest it is very true what you write about politicians,have there head in the sand.
They followed America down the anti dope path like everyone and now that the tide is turning we are too fucking brainwashed to change our cannabis laws something Nimbin is always trying to do hence the mighty yearly Martigrass. When I first moved to North Coast back in late 70`s for the Nimbin Aquarus festival there was no police in Nimbin now the is every bastard. Dog squads, hippy punchers, disability harrassers etc etc.
We are so backwards I have been hearing about relaxing cannabis laws for over 42 years and still nothing. I think SA STILL has the better ones. NSW recently rejected cannabis for the terminally ill on the grounds they might get addicted before they fucking die!! WTF . Queensland has ALWAYS been the worse especially when Bejelke Peterson was in charge (Nationals) who are now in charge with that fuckwit Cambell Newman. I get really hot under the collar ANYWAY wont talk politics especially when it comes to Liberal or National Governments who will never change although thanks to the medical side it is very slowly eating away at the tiny brains and slowly changing the laws. Im sure I will be dead by the time they do!!
I might have to contact you for sources LOL because I know how hard it is to find reliable, honest sources for herb. Grew my own for many years on both farms but in the burbs now and later. I do have friends at Noosa Heads and of course my brother so may be ok.
What vaps are you in to? Have 8 or 9 so far my miniVape is up for sale as we speak on Gumtree and in the clubs classifieds. There are good and there are bad vaps but then there are new vaps which i like trying thankfully all of mine have been great. The best hard hitter for me is the MiniVap its just that i cant handle convection any more due to a health complaint and am waiting for them to release a export Herbalizer but the MV is one of the best medical grade ones I have had and it knocked my socks off. I gave cannabis away for many years but returned to it mainly for health reasons (pain relief) the pleasure part is the bonus.. Still got my trusty Solo but am a bit interested in a E-nano now (when will it end LOL)

 

[Pricey420]

I went travelling in oz (i am english) and found it crazy that people mixed bongs with tobacco. I mean we always mixed joints with tobacco (stopped the evil baccy full stop about 3 months ago) but i have never mixed tobacco with weed when throwing it in a bong. Each to their own like i just man up and hit the fucker as i was smoking cigs at the time. Now i would pass on a dirty bong/pipe and wouldnn't dream of mixing weed and tobacco unless it was a blunt haha

As long as people are getting high its all good i just hate it when people mix with tobacco coz people lump weed in with ciggies that way and think it is dangerous

 

[Pricey420]

Oh yeah back in the days of high school when we got rocky hash we had to make a mix but we usually rolled up joints.

Hey Welcome brother..

You will be a stones throw away from me when you move.feel free.

I think prohibition will end soon worldwide.The positive benefits for legalisation far outweigh the negative ones.Current pollls are showing crime has significantly dropped in Colorado since prohibition ended.Another recent poll shows adolescent use has dropped significantly too.Imo its just not exciting enough for kids anymore and they find it boring sleepy and sedatory.
I took a look first hand at the Colorado experiment in August and its working like a dream.just a normal city.i felt very safe there even when I was on my own in industrial areas out of town where a lot of the dispensaries are.


I have tried lots of different vapes My favourite vapes are logs .i bought a few Heat island vapes earlier on.they are 12VDC volltage where as the the enano is AC direct current.Its a simple design stays on 24/7 or can be ready in 5 minutes from cold.its an awesome little cannon and can be repaired easily.

I also really like the vapman for portable use.i took it to the pub yesterday and so many people were intriged by it.
It can be shared but works best as a discrete personal device.

My favourite vape right now is the Daisy.hits from daisy can be literally too much.ive been using mine with a hydratube to cool down hits and its the bomb.if you are a grower and have access to a continuous supply I would just go Daisy.one or two sessions and im good to go for a few hours.i like to be rocked and its by far the quickest device i own to get me there.

I would love to try the minivap.i have heard great things about flavour and hits.I had two solos in the past that had a funky electrical taste in the airpath.From encouragment here to try the latest version,i picked one up in the latest massdrop campaign for $150AU.Im still waiting on it to arrive. i needed a quiet battery device to enjoy over the holidays.

Collecting vaporizers can become expensive.Members here refer to it VAS.
Vaporizer Aquisition Syndrome.its incurable.So go easy and read threads at your own risk.

i thought the haslems had been promised medical by the nsw govt.i was sure its all going ahead be it for terminally ill patients only.

I went travelling in oz (i am english) and found it crazy that people mixed bongs with tobacco. I mean we always mixed joints with tobacco (stopped the evil baccy full stop about 3 months ago) but i have never mixed tobacco with weed when throwing it in a bong.

My oh My,how times have changed...I was living in the UK in the 90s it was all tobacco mix then.nice to see you are looking after number 1.

 

[Slayer]

Hey Slayer welcome along. I wouldnt say Hell Awaits or anything but you'll have a blast here.

Good people here that will be sure to help You out with the EQ.I'll try and get my EQ setup photoed & on the extreme thread over Xmas.

In the meantime have a look @ vaporpedia [vaporpedia link removed due to malware] if you need a quick rundown on a vape.it has a full list that is partly updated by FC members.

Awesome! See you in the clouds!

So, it arrived a day late thanks to a lazy courier. It has been in constant use ever since. I modified the standard bowls with self-adhesive automotive heat wrap. When I unpacked the so-called 'Tuff' bowl, I thought that the hose was just for shipping protection but quickly realised this is the coating as they call it. I could have gone to the hardware store and got some hose too. Anyway, I scored a Dremel for xmas and I'll have a go at improving the flow of the bowls soon. I'm hunting down local glass blowers as well for some custom bits. ^^ Will let you know how I go with that, lads. Also found a nice old Huon pine cheese board and a Redgum bottle stand that were quickly cleaned , sanded and oiled to protect my nuts if I burnt the coffee table lol.
A few observations:
1. No more cleaning dirty bongs. We used to use a litre of metho a week and a 5 kg bag rice every couple of months cleaning 2 bongs and associated chambers, pre-coolers , stems and cones. So glad that's finished. Only need a quick rinse now and then that they are used exclusively for hash now.
2. Using way less weed , obviously. No more running out between cycles.
3. 'It's a bit slow.' This was my my Mrs' first observation. You need to prepare by pre-grinding and warm up stuff. And the bags take a while to fill so you have to sit and watch them. This is the only negative i have experienced.
4. I quickly learned to give Mrs. Slayer a whole bag rather than sharing. 2 bags are way easier for us.
5. Currently we have a landrace Sativa hybrid in jars that vapes best at around 205 - 210 C. Popping some pure Indica's soon to evaluate effects and because we need something to help us sleep. And my Mrs is getting way too strung out on the Sativa's we usually have around the house, she needs to calm the fack down a bit lol.

I don't host pictures anywhere so you'll just have to imagine it in our lounge lol.

 

[Ricardo]

G'day all. Not Australian and never been but I'm big into Aussie Rules and try to watch as many games as I can... My biggest dream is to be at the MCG on the last Sunday of September and see Essendon win the flag. Not sayin' September 2015 mind you....

Welcome aboard my friend!

[vakednotfried]

I know its an old thread but. How are my fellow aussies going in the vape world. what are your setups, favourite vape techniques. What strains are you finding in your areas ??????

 

[MGG]

My setups are in my signature, currently got sour diesel, critical mass, clusterbomb, blue cheese, thc bomb and soon ak47, mazari grape and gigabud.

nice sour diesel one of my favourite grows. Had some blue cheese from a mate last week was heavenly vape bonging.
AK47 is in my grow this year.
How is the vape community in Melbourne it is an underground movement in Sydney at the moment

 

[lemmeadem]

Far North resident, here. Hate the weather, love the weed, neutral on the po-po until something goes down - had a gent take a 25 from me, tell me not to do it, sprinkle it out on the ground and then give me a handshake and disappear into the night to fight crime and thought, "That guy was alright."

 

[bella]

I live in central vic (b'rat) during the week and melb on weekends. Will end up in melb full time eventually. I barrack for the richmond tiges (AFL) and, yes, i wear lots of black and drink heaps of coffee .

Was in 'smoke dreams' shop in melb the other day and noticed they had the arizer range of vapes. Nearly $500 for an extreme-q (mine was $240 from aus vapes), the solo was about $350 and the air $300. I almost laughed in their faces. Oh, they also had a dbv wpa for $32 ($11 from the manufacturer) but the girl serving had no idea what is was and didn't give a shit anyway .

Aus vapes, on the other hand, have been great to buy from and their prices aren't much more than us prices once you factor in exchange rates and shipping.

Yo, Melbourne vaporist here - I'm a long-time medical user, I first vaporised about 15 years ago and never looked back. I'm involved in the Compassion Club that got raided a few months back in Vic, we'd just harvested and trimmed 15kg+ of primo high CBD for 80+ medical users in Australia when we got raided:

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/m...charged-with-trafficking-20150531-ghdjr7.html
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/...-cannabis-supply/story-fngnvmhm-1227391073447

We'll be in the city for the next round of hearings later this year - we'd love to get some more supporters attending to show them that the public supports medical cannabis, and you won't be alone there's a large crowd of us now at each hearing.

Also I run VapeHead.com - currently offline but the new site when it launches will be focusing on Vriptech's VHW (plus local warranty/repairs) and other high quality vapes - likely an e-cig for medical oil, and possibly Storz & Bickel portables for herb.

 

[bella]

Hi @niall i read about the raid to which you are referring. I remember being pretty shocked because i thought dan andrews had requested that the police not hassle medical users. I'm fed up with this demonisation of growers. Where the fuck do govt/police think people get their medical cannabis from?. It's like they think that medical users can just stop using until 2017.

Hope it works out for you all. The compassion club does an amazing job.


Btw: part my prior post was inaccurate. Arizer Air vape was just over $400 at smoke dreams. Apologies.
