Good to see you around @CarlosSpiceyWeiner !

@mephisto, thank you for the kind words.

I’m usually lurking everyday just reading posts. I’m too lazy to type and even lazier to log in.

I hate to go OT, but I was laid up in the hospital all Christmas Day with uncontrollable vomiting. Everyone else says it was the flu and I agreed until I read this article.

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/heal...ting-illness-linked-long-term-pot-use-n834046

This has happened to me multiple times in my 20 years of smoking with 10 of those years just vaping.

Has anyone else here ever have this issue?

Plus I never thought the cause would be from long term cannabis use.

I’m cutting down my usage a lot only using my Omni XL’s.

Ya know it's funny. I started wearing a fanny pack when I discovered that wearing my wallet in my back pocket was causing my back problems. I wore it, through the grief from my friends for a few years until I couldn't take the abuse anymore and quit using it.
It was a nice leather one, damnit, and it made life so much easier.

I've been thinking of starting up again and using the "old guy" excuse. Or maybe the "fuck you I don't care" excuse. We'll see. I DO know if I do this I may never get laid again...

Rather than add another OT post I'll put it here. It made me sit crooked rather than be too heavy, but with the CCs it is only lighter metaphorically anyway... :p

I’ve had one of these messenger bags since 97’.

It’s funny when some tosser behind me says “nice purse” only to have an ex special forces medic turn around and thank them. The ‘oh no... I’m gonna die’ look on their face is princess. :D

I’ve seen too much pain to let some comment ruffle me.

Really well made bags.

@CarlosSpiceyWeiner Too much of any chemical entering our system can cause bad things to happen. Makes sense for people who are genetically susceptible to overloading the receptors.

I limit myself to two hours of sedation right before bed per day.

As someone with Asperger’s who goes through a bit over an ounce a year the experimenting I’ve done recently has shown me that the vap is not really suited to my daily needs. I need low temp micro-doses. For this the FF2 shines.

The Vap will go in my ‘I really can’t stop thinking and need to sleep’ box. Useful tool but a bit too strong for daily use.

Last spring my mother was admitted to hospital with the same, and diagnosed with Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.

She's been smoking weed for 40 years or so, and daily for the last 20-ish.

At that point I introduced her to vaping with a Vapcap M, and helped her get a medical recommendation and supply from a licensed producer.

I'm not sure if the switch to vaping or getting away from questionable street weed was the answer, but the symptoms haven't recurred.

Oh... What the fuck and YOLO. ;) I could not get it out of my head and just bought myself one of those devices (from a dentist who closed shop, so it is used, not new). Will have it in a few days! Yay, Induction Vapcapping coming to my village! :)

@cybrguy, or anyone who knows these things....
How did you do that earlier?... Embed a new quote while editing a previous post :hmm:???
I’ve done it by hitting ‘reply’ to the post I want to add. Then copy the quote then backspace to clear it. Then go to the post I want to add it to in edit and paste it.

——————————————

Just remembered: I have seen people react to pot the way the article states when there is mold on the herb. Just a thought.

I think it has a lot to do with frequency and quantity.

Also, for your info, Hospitals have had great results using Haloperodol (Haldol) to treat CHS. I did a lot of research on this when it was being reported more frequently. And of course it is a very rare syndrome that effect only a very small number of heavy chronic users.

That said, I am happy you got that under control and I hope lowering your dose size helps. Also as your tolerance goes back down you’ll enjoy it more I bet. The Vaps are great for that too especially since you can micro so easily on them. I use my Vaps daily at bedtime to wind down and try to keep it to one or two cap fills on half or 1/3 bowl size. My tolerance is low but I wanna keep it that way.

Glad you’re feeling better.

@IntoTheVoid thank you for the info.

I will definitely look into the Haloperodol

Guess I needed to be forced to take a break.

Definitely feeling much better, thank you.

I was up late one night and saw some really pretty antique gunstocks with fish scale grips. I couldn't help but try to do some of it on a Vapcap stem.

Well, I severely underestimated how difficult it is to layout and carve a pattern on a tiny round object. It really tested my patience to not make any mistakes or rush through making this stem. It still has some small bits of wood that need to be cleaned out but I think it was worth it.

This was by far the most labour intensive stem I've made to date. Props to those guys that carve gun stocks as this is not easy to do cleanly.

BACKGROUND

So for a while now I’ve had this gripe with the vaporizer industry that there aren’t any “pipe” style vapes yet. Ever since switching from combustion to vaping over 10 years ago, I find myself missing the “smoking pipe” experience. Most of the best vapes on the market look more like walkie-talkies. It wasn’t until I found FC and dove into all of the “wood” creations that I realized there may be hope for a pipe style vaporizer.

DYNAVAP

I was first introduced to a Dynavap VapCap about a year ago by my brother. He got me a Ti Woody S because he thought it was something I would enjoy and I had never heard of Dynavap before. At first I thought it was okay but not really my style, I mainly use a Volcano and prefer convection. I have never been a fan of butane or any vape that you can easily burn yourself or the flower with. I put it away and forgot about it until a few months ago when I saw all of the custom stems being made for the VapCap tips. I then had a lightbulb idea moment and realized the VapCap tips could be adapted to work on a pipe.

THE DYNAPIPE

CHKa6yf.jpg


A bit ago I posted here that I found that a certain Marley Natural smoking pipe that I already had sitting around collecting dust could be taken apart and the stem perfectly fit on the VapCap tip. I then decided to take my idea even further. Disclaimer: I have zero previous experience in woodworking or building anything really, this was just a pet project.

I had a hole drilled into the bottom wood section that is the right size to fit the VapCap tip in snugly. I then drilled tiny holes around the edge of the bottom wood section and inserted magnets into the holes.

olFHYLS.jpg


Next, I went out and bought a nice piece of walnut wood to create the bottom section. I drilled a nice sized hole into the bottom section of wood so it would fit the VapCap tip and have enough room for air around it. There’s also a smaller hole on the base that allows airflow into the wooden chamber. I drilled matching holes into the bottom section and inserted more magnets.

5Exrcbp.jpg



Once I had the top and bottom of the housing done I had a now fully functional Dynavap vaporizer pipe aka the “Dynapipe”. I have since purchased a Pipes IH so I just dip the tip in the heater, pull it out, snap on the base, and vape away. It is one extra step so there is a bit more hassle than just using a stem. But there is almost no chance of burning myself on the tip either. I feel the wood housing also creates an extra level of insulation so the tip takes longer to cool down, not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.

I plugged the original “bowl” with a piece of high temp silicone.

ZgCT1gV.jpg


Overall, I like it. I still don’t find myself using it like I do the Volcano(very different vapes) but I like knowing it’s part of my vape collection.

EWmTeCn.jpg


I’m posting it here just in case anyone wants to create their own or improve on it or even inspire me with better or different ideas for it. I have about 2-3 more ideas for different versions/ways of making a dynapipe. I might try creating those next. Or maybe it could inspire George or Ed to come out with a dynapipe version/accessory, their craftsmanship and ingenuity is far more advanced than mine.

Cool idea! How is the ergo when heating up the piece? I find myself missing the pipe experience but I can't help but think it will be awkward to heat. I still mean to get a j-hook and make some stubby vapcaps.

@kuzko I started out a non tobacco hash smoker so VC pipes have always been on my mind and there have been a couple of enquiries about them.

This is where I got to, the style was dictated by the user still being able to spin the VC in a torch flame.

A Wenge body with Blackwood MP got tried out and a Black Palm with an open twist Walnut.

Then @Pipes came along with the IH's and as spinning is not needed the design got a change.

Those are sick. That helical stem one is friggin awesome! I’ve always wanted a church warden/hobbit style pipe like ur last few pics too.

Per the ergonomics, I don’t use a torch anymore but it’s still do-able. I also like that I can just set the pipe down upside-down without the bottom portion.

Or maybe the "fuck you I don't care" excuse.

Fuck what people think, I hate heavy pockets and during summer I need a place to keep my stuff in.

Is anyone able to make a list with European online shops that carry Dynavap parts? Especially the lesser known ones could be interesting...

Vaposhop, lacentralevapeur.com, thehedonistclub.co.uk, verdampftnochmal.de, vapefiend.co.uk

Vaposhop is an FC sponsor so you can get a discount.
