Dry herb vaporizers ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah a lot of people will write it off after trying with crappy cheap devices. But if you try a high end heavy hitter there is no going back.

[โ€“] Celestial6370@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I've been very curious about dry herb vaporizers, but I've mostly heard negatives online. What kind of price floor are we talking to get a good one? Is there a brand you swear by?

[โ€“] plant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

I started with a dynavap, purchased an elev8r by elev8 three or four years ago and haven't looked back

I don't like recommending the brand I use because the owners are right wing dip shits but I use cannabis hardware VROD injection ball vape through my glass pieces. You can apparently make your own diy these days called a "pinkie".

For portable I like the tinymight. There are probably better options out there now though.

For the desktop vape I mentioned first it was about $500 or so and I think the portable I mentioned second was $300.

[โ€“] Anivia@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

The cheapest one that is actually pretty decent is the "Xmax V3 Pro".

If you are willing to splurge then the "Storz & Bickel Mighty" and the "Tinymight 2" are great options

I have a mighty and sometimes its rough on my lungs. Some people are just sensitive :/

[โ€“] Anivia@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What temperature do you use? Going above 185C I also get that occasionally, but I find that 185C already gives me very good extraction so I don't see a need to go higher anyways

[โ€“] tomi000@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I start at 180 and gradually increase to 210 to extract everything

[โ€“] Anivia@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, at 210C that is nothing out of the ordinary

Why am I being downvoted? Edibles were by far better than burning up my lungs when I used to partake. Interferes with my meds nowadays.

Yeah, especially the ones made by pharma companies that doctors hand out.

[โ€“] eldavi@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

it's also gives you fantastic control over dosage and quality. i grow my own flower and make my own edibles and i think i've perfected the right recipes that work through trial and error and it was kinda fun doing it too.

it taught me that i need more hobbies in my life and now i'm pursuing creating a brand new daily driver linux laptop to that end.

[โ€“] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fuck yes.

I make a batch of 35-40 cookies and have the dosage & timing down pat.

[โ€“] eldavi@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i need to make mine sugar free and i'm transitioning into a plant based diet so it works well for me too.

[โ€“] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mine are vegan & there isn't any skunkiness....I have to keep them clearly labeled in the freezer after I make them because you cannot tell the difference.

[โ€“] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

how do you get the skunkiness out?

[โ€“] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago

So I use about 1g of bud, not the shake for about 350g of butter for the recipe. Turns out more consistent, especially for dosages (works out to about 2.5mg per cookie).

That and my cookies are amazingly good.

[โ€“] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Caramels work well for me.

[โ€“] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

caramel edibles? how do you keep the thc from burning?

[โ€“] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

245 is the target temp. Only hot enough to burn my hand

[โ€“] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

And I started with cannabutter if that helps

l'm always interested to learn what music people like to listen to.

[โ€“] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Im gonna stereotype myself here but I've been really enjoying Kino

Molchat Doma is also good

[โ€“] SchrodingersPat@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

I'll have to check them both out.

[โ€“] SchrodingersPat@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

These guys are awesome. Thank you so much.

[โ€“] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

check out Give up Baby Go by Peach Pit - if you like it you'll probably like their discography.

[โ€“] SchrodingersPat@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Awesome thanks!

It rotates, currently a lot of filk (Space Asshole and Pushing the Speed of Light are favorites) last month I was listenig to Aviators(Can You Hear It?, Stay Dead) The Birthday Massacre(Kill the Lights, Divide), E.M.M.P. (any of their tzeentch tracks and This Quiet Offends Slannesh) but if you just want to get absolutely torched and just vibe? Stone Rebel, albums of just pure vibe.

I find with edibles you have no control. I don't like it. Hardly ever, these days, I feel comfortable enough to be completely blitz with no turning back.

[โ€“] Alteon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gummies are incredibly easy to make. I just made a batch 2 days ago that are sitting in my counter drying before I put a powdered sugar on the outside of them and stick them in the freezer. I use moulds so that I know EXACTLY how much I'm dosing. And the best part? I'm not destroying my lungs by any means.

[โ€“] butsbutts@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

.. I never thought of making them before HMM
