Yep, I paid $120usd last year in Feb. I think it's $150 for everyone now? FC members don't get any extra love now, at least I didn't. All good since $150 is way more than fair!
I had to let the Supreme go last june due to a major life change/move, it just wasn't practical using it living in hotels for several months at a time. And, I did get a little frustrated with the butane/torch and was careless and did some damage lol But now I mostly use a propane torch and it's all good.
I'm just reuniting with the fam again, although I had some affairs on the way (mighty, crafty, grasshopperS, herbie, evo) it is always the best feeling to be at home. I love the vibe and feel of this thread, and I still have alot of reading and catching up to do from the summer.
The Herborizer Ti is actually next on my VAS! But again, my present living circumstances does not allow for such a fragile glass device. So, i'll be settling on the Solo 2 next until I move (again) lol
Btw Alexis, do you think....at a time down the road, where you might try the supreme again (maybe with a glass tube)....perhaps you may not be allergic? Alot of people outgrow their allergies, depending on their lifestyles, epigenetics, gut bacteria and immune changes, age etc.... I know you gave it the college try, but don't rule it out maybe for down the road? Heck,
@lazylathe gave his Sup a deep soak bath in pure 99% ISO.... maybe your supreme had some manufacturing residues on it or something? I don't know, I just know how awesome this thing is, and wish you could share in the bliss of the best vapour quality and output on this planet.
Yeah I was sure you had good reasons and remember your living situation being a factor, it just seemed like the most logical next step for you as soon as was practical.
I appreciate your sentiments about me possibly being able to tolerate the Supreme again one day, and for sure thee can be developments any time as things change and allergies can vanish as quick as they came.
This is actually what Im hoping. When I can finally clear my body of pathogens for the first time since the Lyme came in 2005, I hope ajd expect, at the least, a dramatic improvement with my allergies. I would love for my cannabis allergy to disappear, it will be a lot better though at the least.
You are also dead right about the importance of intestnal microbial balance in relation to health especially allergies. I have very severe intestinal dysbiosis but I cant rectify it as I am unable to tolerate any form of probiotic whatsoever due to unbearable mucus symptoms.
The same problem I have with almost every remedy, treatment and approach I try. It is ironic, and catch 22. I am getting so much closer to clearing all the pathogens, just need some good fortune and keep my head together and carry on.
So I hope that when I get there, a lot of things will change and I may be able to replenish my intestinal flora.
I am open to the idea that my reaction may have been due to manufacturing residues. I did also wonder if the herb tube is a somewhat different type of aluminium.
I am however happy without needing the Supreme, though it was a hard pill to swallow at first.
I have used my Omnivap the last 2 days and I forgot how good it is. The abv comes out dark brown in 3 hits. The effect is very good, very complete, more so than the Herborizer on setting 7-8.
But the Omnivap bothers my chest much less than the Herborizer, while it extracts more fully than the temps I can tolerate with the Herbo.
I have issues with hands and wrists though and had to give up the Omnivap due to it messing my hands up.
I love the effect though. I am going to get jarhead heater from Pipes, and later in the year will hope to het the VHW.
I will be open to trying the Supreme again if and when I think my alleriges have improved, but only if a friend has one for me to try.
I will do my best to alert others to it and recommend it widely (so I can try it again one day as well.)
The idea of a Ti Supreme is very exciting though! I know Ed is super busy, and not in a hurry to design new products, but if that wasnt the case, I dont think the Ti model would be an unrealistic expectation at all.
