Hi everyone, love reading this forum, mature people here almost a connoisseur feel! Really like and respect that. I am originally from Seattle, WA but about 6 years ago moved to Panama in Central America. Been lurking this forum for a good month now. Learning a lot, just wish I started here before going through so much trial and error!
Used to smoke in high school but that was amatuer dumb stuff. Started smoking every night after work about 3 months ago as it really really eases my mind and helps me think straight after 13 hour work days (was diagnosed with bi-polar when younger, although I feel now that was a misdiagnosis I definitely deal with my own personality issues, and I find nightly dosis of MJ extremely helpful). I started out with a plane glass pipe then quickly went to basically the only LHS in this country and picked up a Top Vape plug-in vaporizer+glass whip. I chose that because I was trying to enjoy mj more descreet as I live in a house that my wife and I employ both a full time nanny and full time maid (don't need to be stinking up the place or leaving traces, so if either of them ever found the vaporizer they woulnd't know wtf they were looking at).
Then I got a little more adventurous and bought a small/skinny 12" glass bong with a 4 arm perc, something super basic that I could clean easy and stash easy. After a while we realized that the bong gave us a much difference effect, what I found on this forum the term is "couched" or whatever. Anyways, didn't realize that was the issue right off the bat I thought maybe it was the new meds we bought.
Keeping with the descreet mode I bought a generic vape pen off Ebay. Thing was garbage, I really don't get how it vaporizes anything, it's like smoking your herb off a fucking car lighter. So after a couple of weeks it pretty much died on its own so I tossed it.
I just recieved my first piece of American glass which was the Grav Labs mini bubbler pipe, awesome peice so far even though it is combustion. I then ordered two pieces of chinese glass that I found others had ordered in the Cheap, high-quality bubbler thread. I am hoping to post and converse and see which REAL vaporizer I should get, and start using that and start my first Vape + glass experience.
Being in Panama I am definitely a bit further away from medicine of high quality or even choices (no edibles no oils even hash is extremely hard to come by) so any of that stuff would have to be home made (which prob wouldn't be worth doing with unknown quality herb) I don't get shitty dry brick but I don't get anything near medical I am most positive.
At least this city is very modern for being in Latin America and there are tons of mail fowarding companies so I will always be able to buy in the states and ship down anything I want as far as vaporizers/glass/accessories. The LHS's stuff that is for sale is pretty much pieces and vapes from factories in India and China and even then the selection is minimal.
That's my life story. See you guys on the forums!
Had to have lots for it too work.Even so I tried a blunt and didn't like the taste so looked around some more on youtube and came across vape critic and his hate of the puffit.Had a look at his site then splashed out on a plenty.Found myself going through to much too quickly with plenty then came here browsed through about the plenty and looking at the other Puffit stuff learnt how to draw without the big fan blowing as the Puffit instructions were poor.
And if I am any indication.... it's all true!!!!
