Turned 60 in January, an old "Up in Smoke" type stoner from the 70's, but haven't toked a joint, puffed on a a pipe, or bubbled a bong in years. My friend gave me a three finger lid of 'Super Skunk', and damn it's aptly named it smells bad. So I burnt some with some crappy pipes I whipped up. You know the type, crushed up soda cans, tin foil tubes.... But then I found out about Vaporizing! Silly me I thought that was just for E-Sigs.
The prices for what I was finding were out the roof though, paying so much for these things. I began by thinking I could make my own Magic Flight or whatever it's called. I read a ton of postings in all the DIY websites, hell I even bought some stainless steel screen and began experimenting. Then I discovered an inexpensive product made by HEBE, the Titan II. I am sure most of you guys know or have heard about this thing. Anyway, I ordered on from Ebay and have used it a half dozen times now, and have gotten pleasantly toasted every time on about 1/2 of a chamber, but I have questions about the process.
How fine should my weed be? I have just been cutting up a piece of bud with some small scissors and dumping it into the chamber then very gently packing it down with a toothpick. Should I be grinding it?
Not sure about temperatures, now I am at 370 F, but towards the end of my session, it gets kinda hot, which I don't mind per se, just saying. Should I be that high of a temp?
What should the weed look like when finished? It's sorta brown, but still some green in it. I don't want to waste any of the THC so I just eat what's left
, just in case.
I don't see much 'vapor' coming out of my exhales, also I don't feel the lung expansions that I recall from my youth. Is that only when you burn the herb that you get that feeling?
Anyway, I just registered to post these questions and would like some tips or feedback from the experts.
