[MEGA] Vaporizers Thread

[shimazu]

ok so after using the Volcano for almost a full month now I can easily say its the best investment you can make if you smoke a lot

My ideal temp setting is:

2 bags on 6.5, followed by 1 bag on 7.5, then the rest on a little over 8

depending on the pot (esp the moisture content) adjust ur temp. also save all the vaped weed and cook with it.

A buddy of mine just bought one of these. It produces beautiful hits and looks like a USB drive. What more could you ask for?

I recently picked up the DaVinci vaporizer. I must say I am glad I made the investment. Smoking is just downright unhealthy, especially at the frequency i was. From now on i shall consume vapor instead

I would really like to hear more about the Pax vaporizer. How many of you have tried it and how does it compare to non-portable vaporizers like the Volcano?
I'm really interested in buying this one specifically because it's portable.

the pax is a nice sleek little machine. i only went with the davinci cause it was 100 dollars cheaper and had soaring reviews as well. i would definitely recommend either the pax or davinci as far as portable vapes go.

 

[Sublime947]

can the davinci vape 3/4 melt to full melt bubble hash well?

Hello Gents!

I recently bought a Pax by Ploom and I fucking love it! I smoke almost daily and I smoke a lot (in my eyes). My friends and I usually go through around 2 grams in a sitting. My question is how often should I clean it? Is there away to extract that delicious sticky mess from the pipe cleaner and smoke it again? Is there even any thc in the sticky mess?

 

[dahaka]

I love vaporizing. Since I got Volcano being high seems nicer and cooler than bong. No rough hits or coughing, gotta like it.

e: above: dude, just clean the shit and vape some bud ^^

 

[dcraver877]

if your looking for the densest vapor possible i suggest the herbalaire 2.1. I get much fatter hits from my herbalaire than from a volcano or any other vape I've tried (vaporgenie, mflb, box vape, couple other random ones...). It claims it can take the abv bud from a volcano and get two or three more bags out of it.

Salutations DCraver877,

I get much fatter hits from my herbalaire than... ...any other vape I've tried (vaporgenie...

Well, i've been using an HerbalAire v2.1 since February 15, 2011 and i simply can't compare my new modded wooden VG to it in such terms as those. The vaporizing pipe doesn't make me want to use a water toy while my HA's cannabic vapour certainly felt radically different (lengthy & dry sessions leading to coughing issues, ultimately)!

The VG renders taste/aroma more obvious and i can already foresee that its "1 Hit" mode of operation is going to help me cut my consumption rate as a bonus. I'd still be an enthousiast HA owner if it hadn't died on me earlier this month, since it would be an ideal complement for still-green/half-spent VG loads, because my HA used to extract very efficiently - but it works like a locomotive, in "We Brake for Nobody!" fashion (a SpaceBalls reference that fits the HA it seems!!)...

As for dense/opaque clouds i guess we'd have to disagree.

Just thought I would comment on this quote which was made prior to closing the thread before anyone had a chance to reply. I normally would not reply to things like this but the it sounds like there's the suggestion that my comments were a bit daft, plus I think it's relevant to harm reduction which is actively promoted by this site.

If you still get high than you are still absorbing THC. If a filter actually removed the THC then you would not get high.

I have never known any stoner to think a filter removes THC. get smarter friends.

It's far more common for stoners to use roaches rather than cigarette filters. The implication is that it is commonly thought that it will take something out, making you less high i.e. removing some of the THC (not all!!).

Here is a quote from a study from the multidisciplinary association for psychedelic studies (MAPS):

Samples of government-supplied marijuana from NIDA were puffed in a smoking machine in a manner designed to mimic human marijuana smoking. The smoke was collected in Cambridge glass fiber filters designed to capture particles > 0.1 microns, which are used to separate solid particles or 'tars' from gaseous smoke components, such as carbon monoxide. The filtered solids also include all of the cannabinoids. The filtered residue was weighed to measure total tar content and quantitatively analyzed for three cannabinoids, THC, CBD and CBD, by means of a GCMS.

As expected, all of the devices produced a reduction in tars relative to the control: 33% for the filter, 89%-98% for the waterpipes, and 56%-97% for the vaporizers. However, only the vaporizers achieved an improvement in the ratio of tars to cannabinoids. The cigarette filter performed worse than the unfiltered joint, producing 30% more tar per cannabinoids...

...A likely explanation for the poor performance of physical filtration systems is that THC molecules are especially sticky and apt to adhere to other smoke particles. Any attempt to screen out the latter is therefore apt to pick up the former as well. Indeed, to the extent that cannabinoids are relatively stickier than other compounds, particles containing them may be more likely to be trapped by filters.

Cannabis 'vaporization' A promising strategy for smoke harm reduction

Now the study is by no means the best and I myself have criticisms of it but the point still stands. You're welcome to delete this post if you feel it's appropriate since I feel made my point anyway. It's not an attempt to try and attack you or what you have said but rather just to clarify things. Thanks.

By the way as a side point, if anyone has any more recent research comparing vaporizers to joints and bongs that they think is good please let me know because I would find it useful for a project I'm doing.

 

[Darksidesam]

i said the same thing about the Pax , AE lol

considering the magic flight launch box of them all. I see this one has 4 x 2500 mah batteries free with it?
already own an arizer v tower but thats not portable its a desktop one .

Salutations Artificial Emotion,

...the study is by no means the best... ...if anyone has any more recent research comparing vaporizers to joints and bongs...

Most likely the "best" one would at least happen to include comparisons between vaporizers since it's easy to observe major differences within that group alone, not to mention cannabic vapour and smoke are as similar as apples vs oranges, IMHO.

...or vice-versa!

hello all!
just wanted to be present in this thread a bit.
i currently do not combust my flower. ever since i first hit the palm portable vaporizer i was sold on vapors.
the benifits i see is like this
1.) so much more bang for my buck.
2.)one word RECLAIM. i almost double my high by saving my ABV for cooking and washing to make some concentrates for dabs. (if anyone wants recipes or washing methods or even fool proof cold infusion methods PM ME)
3.) my life has simply been healthier and better by eliminating the combistion aspect to my green
catch the vapors not the papers

 

[Egzoset]

Salutations TDoomX,

...i currently do not combust my flower.

There were few accidents on my side which actually required a careful clean up, to remove smoke reminescences... I did have lots of charred spots when i started this a month ago but i'm gradually learning how to enjoy it better.

...so much more bang for my buck.

As far as i'm concerned it's not that clear what bang it could be!...

...RECLAIM.

Indeed, in my book this would list as a good reason to prefer avoiding wood and/or plastics. No need for glass, technical ceramics and metal alloys can handle it... Then i can see wood doing what it does best in the present application: insulate!

...to make some concentrates for dabs.

About 1 week after purchasing my vaporizing pipe i had started chosing sides with the permanent adoption of fire over electricity, in hope (electromagnetic) induction (that takes advantage of the Curie effect) will become mainstream someday... The sooner the better.

...healthier and better by eliminating the combustion aspect...

Discovering vaporism changed my destiny in multiple ways, i'd be missing something without it.

 

[Darksidesam]

I just got myself a Magic Flight Launch Box and i reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a portable vape that is good, also try and get a good package/deal like one with extra batteries whip accessories etc and latest model.

its more conservative than smoking it i think

 

[Stacibar98]

Save the vaped weed and cook with it? Seriously? BONUS! How much would you need and what food would you recommend putting it in? Yeah I guess I'm asking for a recipe, LOL! (Is that allowed?) Stacy

 

[Egzoset]

Salutations Stacibar98,

Save the vaped weed and cook with it? Seriously?

Why not? ...and beyond! I stop vaping when aroma/taste decline (ideally), which on average means 3 inhalations from a 125 mg bowl.

My table vaporizer was able to finish that fully-activated cannabic load but it went defective the week after my VG acquisition. As a result i'm looking for a recipe myself - once again since i stared thinking of this before Christmass and i'm still not satisfied by what i've found. Not that it would be this hard to determine proportions, euh... But it seems few cannabic cooks care to document their creations with motivating pictures, not to mention that like you i'm puzzled about quantities & procedures. Yet all i want is to potentiate with lecithin and i'd want coconut oil for its perfume, etc. I'm about to be short of capsules so i'd have to do cookies now!...

BONUS!

I called it a "revelation" when i experienced my very 1st reclaim to life (which was made of golden resin extracted from Zephyr iOn spent matter) after a buzy evening...

My routine has changed significantly, at the moment i've reduce the number of bowls to 2 - 3 per day, 4 - 5 at most. That should provide a rough idea what's the collection rate. In my opinion double-chocolate cookies will do fine, i only need to decide of the respective ingredient amounts...

How much would you need and what food would you recommend putting it in? Yeah I guess I'm asking for a recipe, LOL!

Coïncidence!!

 

[shimazu]

I just gotta say I fucking LOVE my vaporizer and if youre going to smoke anything greater than or equal to a gram a day it would behoove you to pick one up.

Shit is the future
