I have an Ascent, actually two of them since I bought one for my fiancee when she was recovering from surgery. I went for the custom one straight from Da Vinci, white carbon fiber sides with a red base and chrome hardware; very sharp piece. The other is a stealth, and will probably be going on ebay once I get it cleaned up. They are very nice vapes for what they are - flower-only vapes. If you try to vape concentrates out of it you will be disappointed, but for a small portable I love my Ascent with 14mm GonG and a generic hydrotube.

So it's good with straight herb as advertised? Shit, brutha, you may've just made a sale for them. I've never vaped herb before so I've been kind of skeptical.... it's always nice to get a firsthand review for shit.

Damn, now I do too. I can't decide whether I'd get the wood grain or the skulls. The burl wood is probably more my style, but they all look really badass TBH.

Can't wait for legalization to hit MD, I swear....

We got past segregation in the 60s. It's weird that it's taking so long to get legalization through. Robert Anton Wilson says it's because the government always hates to admit that it's wrong.

500 used, I think it was originally 1k with markup from my local shop but he got it 20% off so he got it for 800 no tax (which is probably more around what it's worth new, probably even still more because shops tax the fuck out of it)

I'd go with the older style linework one tbh. 500 is pretty good, I don't see people selling CB work that often, especially the more worked tubes. I usually aim for around 50% off retail when I buy used glass, sometimes I get lucky and it's 60-70 but sometimes with hype it's only 30%.

I've also been meaning to post a picture of my glass so here's the first, 2013 Elbo brontosaurus (nsfw for size)

Also, can we bring back "Pot or Not?" My lazy ass finally got an imgur account.

I don't think it's just the government.

That's a beauty you got there, that custom color pull is fuego. No idea how the current market is on brontos but it's gotta be going up and up and up and will continue to do so

Still haven't pulled the trigger on that minitube, my place just flooded for the 3rd time in the 5 years (such a fucking hassle) so looks like I'm going to have to get all this fucking water damage repaired... again... Literally started flooding at like 4 am this morning and couldn't get a plumber here till 11 so I got like a half inch of water in every fucking room. Needless to say my salt levels are high as fuck right now. I'm cool with this warm weather and it being like 60 degrees in February when it's usually like 20, but all the snow melts and all that water comes up through my fucking drains because of garbage old plumbing. I live right on the Cuyahoga River too (which was so polluted at one point it caught on fire - a flowing river caught on FIRE) and that water along with the melted snow water is on my floor. Needless to say it's nasty as fuck lol

Poll as in 'which do you prefer'? Just so the differences are clear how about this for options:

- Rosin
- BHO
- Isomerized
- Bubble
- Kief

?

Nice piece Monk, can that bowl vape both green and hash?

the next Pot or Not run is planned to start in October, tbh I don't know what my IRL situation will be like so I don't want to make any guarantees but the last run did yield some solid data to work from so it's clear what can be done to make the next run better.

Fuck dude, sitting water on the floor sounds nasty, hope they got that taken care of. Insurance doesn't cover flooding?

I think the color is actually Silver Strike #5 frit (like powdered glass that reacts in the kiln). I love the scaley effect from it

Is isomerized like distillate? (ie. Clear Concentrate or similar)

No, what you see in that picture is a drop-down with a D-Nail in it, so just for oils. The piece is kind of small for flower too, only like 6-7" tall and a 2-hole pig snout diffuser.
 
i've never heard of hash being called distillate myself, but isomerized is supposedly over 95% THC so if that's not distillate i'm not quite sure what else it could be.
 
I'm just not sure isomerized is the word you're looking for, unless you mean hash made with isopropyl alcohol?

Stuff like "Clear Concentrate" (in CA), gooey very homogenous honey colored oil that is sometimes flavored--is made by steam distilling an extraction like BHO or CO2. That's how people generally make oil in the 90% THC range. I've seen it called a lot of things but now that the secret is out people are moving towards "distillate."

(I believe it's sold by Mahatma in Colorado as "The Clear;" people used to call it "Solvent-Free" because the distilling process will remove any residual solvents so they can advertise it as 0PPM)

I should note that I'm not recommending this stuff, I prefer BHO, rosin or ice wax myself, it's just becoming more popular so it should be on the survey)

FM has a point about distillate... personally I was referring to any type of hash made through the distillation process, but probably most stuff people call "clear" on the street is hash made from the distillation process.

So, after a week of vaping, yeah my lungs feel a lot better. Even though smoking weed is comparatively harmless to tobacco, smoking anything just feels poisonous and wrong to me. I don't think I'll do it any more, unless I'm at a party or something and have no other choice.

How has vaping compared to smoking? I'm considering making the switch, but I don't know.

My opinion? With extracts it seems to be a lot weaker than smoking, but still strong enough to get me high. I've never vaped herb before, though.
