2022-09-10 at 5:48 AM UTCI can't roll to save my life
And I like all IPAs but I don't drink these days. -
2022-09-10 at 8:54 AM UTCyeah i hear you

2022-09-10 at 1:25 PM UTCMix of: mad villain, bordeaux, mystery jokerz cross (all Type II with some THCv thrown in), plus white CBG kief, Bubba Kush CBD kief, pine walker CBDv flower.
Mixed ratio flower is king and has a much more relaxing high.
Out of a dry herb vape it is delicious and complex. Flowery, fruity, peppery. -

Did you mix it yourself? -

yes.
The 2018 farm bill has allowed for a great variety of cannabis products here. America probably has the most interesting cannabis research in the world. I buy from breeders online.
I always aim for a 1:1 mix but sometimes I like to drop down to a Type III.
If you havent tried CBDv or THCv do it now. ASAP. -

Since I switched to vaping, my consumption rate has decreased drastically. Also being on call every 6 weeks and not smoking for a week at a time. I've just been buying weed from the store.
Tonight I'm busting out the B1 flowerpot and my bong and getting stoned. -

Yeah smoking cannabis is downright stupid by comparison. For your health, for enjoyment of the experience, for your wallet, etc. I can't imagine going back to the acrid stench of smoking.
Flowerpot always looked great to me! I also I have exactly the same bong as in that diagram.
Typically I use my dynavap.
I use it with a plug-in induction heater and am usually able to vape ~0.1 in a 1-2 hits. I love that it basically wont' ever fail on you. It's a well engineered piece of metal. Feel the same way about my Brilliant Cut Grinder. -

I'm still use my old Space Case what can I say I'm an old man now and haven't really seen a need to replace it although I have wondered if a fine grind would be worth the upgrade.
The dynavape looks like a quality product, if maybe a little crack-pipeish. For portable use I've just been using those disposable cartridges and a Yocan Uni Pro, typically with the voltage set fairly low. It's just super quick and convenient, and the variable voltage setting helps moderate the type of high it can produce. -

Brilliant Cut Grinders are the best that exist IMO. I thought it was very much bullshit advertising until I looked into it and bought one. For whatever reason there has not been much grinder innovation until the last ~15yrs. The BCG is the pinnacle of that evolution, I feel. The lack of threading/magnetic lock + curved teeth + smash plate hole design make a huuuuuuge difference in ease of use. I can jam it full without even bothering to take the stems out and it will still turn like butter. When I let people grind weed in mine they automatically want one. I have literally never seen anyone (IRL or online) who prefers another grinder to these.
If you end up going for that fine grind, I 100% recommend a BCG. Totally worth the price tag. Though I have heard the Space Case is still a pretty great grinder.
Carts are super easy and convenient, but I've moved away from distillate due to health concerns regarding isomers. It's something I see talked about with D8 THC but not so much D9 THC, which is synthesized just the same. Without a chromatography report (which nobody publishes with their product) you can't really trust the cannabinoid content. Plus its basically like glue in your lungs and probably leads to more alveolar issues with the irritation and coughing it can cause. I don't get nearly as congested with herb vaping.
But I guess if you use infrequently its not so much of a problemThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Okay so, when they do a cannabinoid potency test they run it through a GCMS or similar machine that produces a chromatography chart. Cannabinoids are represented on these charts as a series of peaks. They will set the machine to different settings/parameters depending on what they're looking for, which will alter the way the peaks present themselves. Scientists have to interpret these peaks to interpret the content of whatever it is they're testing.
A skinny peak may mean "Yes, the machine is pretty sure that this is Compound X", but what we are finding with these synthesized distillates is that they create wider peaks where the machine can only say "Well, this contains Compound X".
So what appears as, say, 20% D9 THC may not actually be the 1-trans-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol we all know and love, but maybe something like 1-cis-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or whatever. It's still 'D9 THC', but its a different isomer that can have different effects and a different safety profile. (see: thalidomide scandal)
This issue is further compounded when you recognize that we haven't actually discovered all the cannabinoids yet. We are synthesizing compounds that we can't identify. This is why you don't see any (true) delta-8 isolate anywhere.
When extracted and distilled, this is not a concern. You should be able to tell by a chromatograph when distillate has been extracted. But unfortunately, its cheaper to synthesize cannabinoids from 'mother' cannabinoids like CBG and CBD, so this type of distillate is more common than distillate made from extractions.
As far as what actual danger this presents... we don't know. It's surely safer than something like synthetic cannabinoids and their full agonist, aromatic ring stacking behavior, but I still don't like taking mystery compounds. If cannabinoids were regulated in the same way as medicine, this would not be allowed to continue in our society. The current process for testing cannabinoids is way too malleable and permissive and IMO, evidence of the neo-liberal capitalist forces that ensured the legalization of cannabis to begin with.
The only extracts I do these days are actual extracts, like rosin or hash, or (tested) solvent based extractions like BHO, where a chromatograph is not really relevant unless you're suspecting your cannabis product of being adulterated.
