True, but with the PD, there's just less in the bowl to smell than with other vape types. Better bud smells more, but more of the better bud smells more than less of the better bud, eh?stickstones said:It's the weed that smells, not the vape. When I let a loaded stem sit on my PD to warm up first it will stink up the room if it is good shit.
It is a nice side benefit if you care to be discreet. I know in some college dorms these days there's highly sensitive smoke detectors (none of this existed back in the day when the world was young) - I wonder if vapor would set off a detector?lwien said:Due to the very small bowl, I'd say that the PD type vape smells less than most any other vape out there.
I think smoke detectors pick up on carbon from burned material, I might be wrong. I don't think vapor would trigger an alarm. My PD allows me to be discreet, the only time I risk anyone knowing is when I am letting my weed dry. I like to open my mason jar only at night, then seal it back up during the day. I like to think this cuts down on dank odor. I don't keep more than an eighth of fresh bud, but have some older, ground, sour diesel in a ziplock bag probably 3 grams. My fresh is blue dynamite, a strong indica and I've got about 2 grams of semi fresh LA Confidential which is a sativa mostly.jeffp said:It is a nice side benefit if you care to be discreet.

I'm still waiting for mine. I know mine went out on the first shipment and I'm 4 hours away from Canada so I thought i'd be one of the first to get it but he wasn't joking on the 6-12 day wait. I'll have pics all over fc as soon as mine comes you can be sure of that. My maillady will be here in less than a hour so maybe today will be the day.lwien said:Hey, do we have any user reports of CD's glass PD stems?
My extreme set off my smoke alarm in college. My buddy blew a big hit from a bag straight up and it moved towards the smoke alarm. Started ringing.sour said:I think smoke detectors pick up on carbon from burned material, I might be wrong. I don't think vapor would trigger an alarm.

When you can't get anymore visible vapor, try dumping the abv and reloading it, you should get another decent hit maybe two. I think the vapor just hits new surfaces on the bud that may have been partially blocked by other little pieces in the previous load. I hope that makes sense the way I typed it lolDevoTheStrange said:Just discovered something new... if anyone else has noticed this chime in....
I have grown accustomed to filling the bowls on the tubes up full. Not a tight pack, just a full pack.
I will normally hit them until they produce no more vapor. The other day I noticed something. Somehow I had only managed to empty out half of the bowl. I don't know why I decided to try the tube out with half spent ABV in it.... and to my surprise, I managed to get a few extra full bodied hits out of it.
I have since tried with several bowls in experimentation. I will take them as far as I can take them, not giving off any visible vapor... scrape out half of the herb, and get one to two more hits out of it as if I had just packed a light bowl.
Although this trick does not work when I decide to use a bong, the bowl seems to get thoroughly vaped then.
Also, still waiting on my Clear Dome PD stem as well. Will definitely report back on it when I do get it.
I have two on the way also, but I think CD ran out of screens, so I may have to just admire mine for a while. OTOH, I may go screen shopping.lwien said:Hey, do we have any user reports of CD's glass PD stems?
Yeah. My MO ever since I first got the PD was to take 3 hits, dump out contents, crumble between fingers, and reload for another 1 to one and half hits.DevoTheStrange said:Just discovered something new... if anyone else has noticed this chime in....

Just get some stainless steel screens and a Paper punch and you can make your own. I've put fresh screens in my stems by doin this and it helps alot.max said:I have two on the way also, but I think CD ran out of screens, so I may have to just admire mine for a while.

Smoke detectors- there are different designs, but several types detect particles, so vapor could set 'em off. Not likely though, since vapor doesn't linger as long as smoke, and tends to sink quicker too. You'd have to be exhaling big clouds at the ceiling I'd think.
There's already a whole thread on that question. http://www.fuckcombustion.com/viewtopic.php?id=485sour said:How many stems do you guys vape in a sitting
