Hahaha Jurassic you probably read about my little mishap with the Valerian root. Yeah I've found Chamomile to be much better since it actually tastes good and doesn't mess up my Cloud! I don't think its time though, I was able to fall asleep in 30 minutes the day after quitting, something that's never happened before! It's unfortunate that Melatonin doesn't work for you though ... have you tried the
time release type of tablet? It's the most effective type you can take since it continually releases for 8 hours.
As for the Chamomile, I started off just ripping open tea bags, and it actually worked. But then I ordered some organic chamomile flowers
here, and since they came I can fulfill all the old rituals of vaping! I grind them up in my Space Case grinder and fill the ELB with them. For me, they work best around 10:30 (Chamomile is said to vape at 375 degrees F). I tend to fill the ELB up half way, since it seems that the Chamomile gets vaped much more quickly than Cannabis and will vape very unevenly if you don't stir between hits when you fill it up all the way. The vapor is alright, its definitely not as thick as with herb, but its visible and if you dont hold your hits too long you'll see clouds on the exhale.
It doesn't make a mess of the ELB at all, it actually smells quite nice haha. It does make the male joint on the Cloud yellowish after each use though, but I just clean it with a tissue soaked in Iso and it looks good as new!
One thing to note though before doing this - clean you grinder completely and soak your ELBs too, so you don't mess up your break with any cannabinoids that may be lingering on your stuff.
Edit: Also make sure that you wait til after your Cloud has cooled down before sticking anything soaked in iso into the joint! If you don't wait, thermal shock will probably happen and that's baddd.
