So hey, Dogs, I need some feedback here. I've been toying with some new poking tools for the 'standard kit' and some of you have probably received them by now with your orders. Specifically I've started including a simple stainless steel nail in the screen kits that are included with each Pup, and for some orders I've also sent a couple of longer stainless pokers that I'm cutting to length and sharpening. So for those of you who have received either or both of these types of 'pokers' are they useful, should I include them, are any more useful than the rest, etc? I want to provide you guys with useful stuff and don't want to waste time and/or money sending you all things that will just get tossed our or left unused you know?
Thanks dudes! Time to go open the shop and make some more sawdust.. oh and and all outstanding orders have shipped out this morning.
It might be overkill for some but I use a little coffee grinder (electric) to grind my herb. I can drop anywhere between an ounce or a single stem worth in there and a quick pulse or two and it's ready to go. I think mine is the older version of this one.
@ shredhead - glad you like the flexibility of the kit for making up your own things as you go along, it's a big plus in my mind!

so I have a car inverter that I was going to see if its safe to use with the UD?
says the following
140w continuous
200w peak
input: 10 VDC -16 VDC
output: 120 VAC/60Hz
thanks
Yes, that inverter should run your power supply just like it runs at home. The dog itself will draw less than 10 watts - so the inverter is plenty powerful.
all I long for is simplicity...
One easy way is to take a little dab of the oil/wax, and then with the oil on your dabber coat it in small herb particles as much as you can. Then, you can easily nudge it off the poker by pushing on the plant-covered part so it doesn't stick back.so i recently made some QWISO hash out of my ABV for the first time a few days ago. i'll admit that it definitely didn't come out perfect due to some particulates that ended up in the final product. during the evaporation process i did a water bath and kept switching out the water with hot/~boiling water for about 5 hours until there wasn't any ISO that i could see left on the pan. after scraping the QWISO hash up i put it in the oven for only a few minutes at a temperature somewhere between 150-200F(my oven is old and doesn't seem to hold heat very precisely). after that i felt that my product was purged enough to be safe to use as i doubted there would be any ISO left in the product after the oven purge.
now my final product is a very dark brown/black and very very viscous type of oil texture. my question is, how do you guys use an oil-like-substance in your UD? i've tried a few times and although i was able to get it to vape, its can be a slightly messy process.
am i doing something wrong or is that just the nature of vaping with QWISO hash? i've never tried any types of oils/hash/concentrates in the past so making my own is my first experience with it. i can remove like a small ball of it from the chunk with my poker, but when i put it in the silicone stem on a bed of herbs, my poker just comes up with the ball and a bunch of herb stuck to it i feel like i have to like smear it against the edge where the silicone and the bed of herb meet.
however, i must say, that the UD definitely vapes this QWISO hash well. getting nice clouds and i can definitely taste the difference in the hits when i add it as oppose to vaping strictly flowers. so any insight for my veteran Dogs who have had experience with concentrates before?
ps- is QWISO hash the correct term to describe my concentrate or would calling it QWISO oil be more appropriate because of its texture? sorry for being such a n00b with concentrates, it's really rare to find people talking about it where i live let alone being able to get some.

Another way is putting the iso in the fridge so it hardens and won't be as sticky, but that won't always work and then there can be condensation issues
The last way is using a lighter but requires practice/technique. Basically you just barely heat the dab of oil on the poker until it falls right off onto your bed of herb in the stem. Helps seeing someone do it first hand.
It was something someone posted on FC but can't find it from searching. Its like when you fill a glass with cold water, as it warms up to room temperature there is water condensation on the outside glass.thanks SD, especially for such a speedy response. i'll definitely going to try that first suggestion you made later tonight when i vape. that seems like it would work well with how im vaping since i try to use very little amounts of it. however, i was thinking about freezing it too so maybe i could cut chunks off of it if i wanted some larger pieces to drop in. what are these condensation issues that you're talking about though? im assuming it's if i keep it in the freezer for an extended period of time?
I have questions for all those who vaporize...I've google it and read a few posts but so many seems to favor bubbler over bong on FC but on other sites, it seems bongs are much more popular since it's simple, able to take bigger hits and easy to clean. Most people said they like bubbler because it's portable. Is that the only advantages of having a bubbler? Is there any other advantages of having a bubbler over bong in "SMOKE QUALITY"? Is it better to use bubbler over bongs when "VAPORIZING"?
I mean I could get a decent good size glass bongs at local shops for like $50 but when it comes to bubblers, cheapest one I found was nearly $100. Granted, it's a nice design(eye candy), and portable but is it really worth the price and all the efforts of cleaning that little thing vs bong? I'm intrigued at this whole bubbler thing. So many brands and the decent ones always go well over $200. So I'm still shopping around but I really don't know what to get. It'll be strictly for home use with my UD.
PS I did go to glass part on this FC forum and read a lot these couple of days.
