To all Supremers, as some of you know I got my own Supreme a few weeks back, and reported a major allergic reaction to the vapor when I used it. I was SO looking forward to owning this vaporizer, which I went for over the Hydrobrick on healh grounds, for my allergies.
It was a real shock and big disappointment when I used it and saw that it is just not tolerable for me at all. I am very, very good at figuring out what is affecting me, allergy and reaction wise, and what I need to avoid or change. In the end, when something is just plain bad for me and simply intolerable, there is no mistaking it, and no amount of will power, endurance or wishful thinking will change that.
So when I was using the Supreme, I just didnt want to accept that it was no good for me full stop. So I persevered for 6 days I think. I tried low temps, smaller hits and anyhting else that might make a difference.
The allergic reaction I was suffering just didnt make any sense at all. No other vaporizer has ever caused me any experience like that, even low temp, invisible hits. It was just really bad every time.
My throat and airways were so inflamed, with tons of mucus. 2 nighs in a row I choked so bad on mucus. This is really dangerous for me, I could easily die this way, no joke, it scares the shit out of me when it happens and I cant get any air in at all, sinuses and windpipe closed.
Aftr 6 days, I had to accept the reality that I just cannot ever consider using the Supreme again, it will likely cost me my life, the reaction is just so severe.
I just felt like such a fool for spending £200 on a vape I cant use and will struggle to sell.
I brainstormed for an explanation. It is nothing to do with the actual weed, or the temp, or even the hit size, Im sure of that.
The only possible explanation was that I am allergic to the aluminium heating block. That was the only feasible possibility.
On tuesday I visited my brilliant homeopath, who treats me for infections with homeopathy.
She uses a diagnostic tool called the "Vega Machine". It very accurately diagnoses infections in the body- where they are, what they are and more, with perfect accuracy. It is called "electro-accupuncture" and It measures frequencies in the body via the reflex points on the hands and feet. Everything has its own specific frequency, like each patnogen for example
The diagnosis is NEVER wrong, I swear on my life. It isnt perfect and wont tell you half of what God could, but if it picks something up, it will be dead on.
She also can test any substance, food, herb etc I take to see how my body reacts to it. I have tested tons of foods, supplements etc over the years. My body intution is excellent and I have a very good idea of what is good, and bad for me.
The Vega Testing has always perfectly indicated the exact extent to which different items are good, or bad for me. I have tested its accuracy with things I know are downright awful for me, and those I have no problem with at all, and greatly benefit from. In every single case, the testing accurately and reliably reflects things without fail.
So I had the appointment on Tuesday. I took the Supreme with me, she tested it, and sure as hell, it showed as a massive allergy to the actual vaporizer, i.e. the metal.
I dont mean to suggest that it is offgassing or releasing toxins. Allergies are a funny business, and there will be some mechanism whereby the hot vapor flowing throughh the block can induce ah allergic reaction, maybe on an energetic, or polarity level.
I cant explain it, but Im not at all crazy and I just want you all to believe me that I am indeed genuinely allergic to this actual vaporizer, 100%.
In hindsight, the Brick was a better option. I post now, to report this genuine information, and also to ask if anybody thinks Ed G might consider allowing me to return the Supreme to him for a refund, under the circumstances? It is in perfect nick, handled with care, little use, and kept clean as hell. Good as new basically.
I know
@Vitolo knows Ed a bit better, what do you think? Im a bit nervous about emailing him in case he doesnt believe me, but he seems very reasonable and open minded, and he certainly should have the feedback no matter what.
I need to try and recover some costs. It will have cost me £100 even if he does agree, for shipping 2 ways, and customs. If I thought I could sell it within the UK for nearer to the price I paid, with cheaper shipping, that would be preferable, but I cant see it.
Im so sad that this thread cannot be my "home" after all. I was already choosing wallpaper!
And I still really appreciate all those who helped me choose the Supreme, and blame nobody except my own bad fortune in life.
