Reporting back on playing with strains and nugget tech.
Started with 6 strains. Used a tiny full nugget (had a hard timing weighing them, but about .04 - my scale didn't want to register less).
Tried various ways to go through the bud (blue, green, red), but never past one 10 minute session (maybe a little less), but numerous (10??) hits.
I dumped all nuggets, still whole, into a small SS cup, and crumbled with them really well.
Back to loading stems with what seemed like a gram or two (I know it weighed less, but judging by volume) of crumbled semi-ABV.
Each pack I started at green, went to orange or red, and got about 10 more flavorful hits.
I couldn't finish it all, had to go to bed!
It's as if I vaped the same weed twice, with the second round being a bit more "sedative"....
[EDIT] I think what's really helped me out here is the Boveda packs I've been using, getting the herb to as close to 62RH as possible. Vapes great at this RH.
