Smoke If You Got It

And if you don't got it, get it, got it?

Dude, I'm trying. It's been dry here for three days!

smoking is so passe. Vaping is the new wave.

Glinda · 12-30-2009, 08:09 PM

Pffft. Had a vaporizer years ago. Gave it away. Entirely too much trouble.

I don't miss it at all.

You're in love, you don't count.

I get frustrated with the vape sometimes, too--but it's so much better for your health, tastes SO much better, and uses less herb, so it's worth it.

what is a vape?

Cloud · 12-31-2009, 11:38 AM

a vaporizer. It does not combust the weed; only superheats it so you get "vapor" instead of smoke.

Hmmmm...

I remember waaaay back when. There were vapes on the market that weren't true vaporisers (the heat source was too hot and effectively cooked the weed, rather than getting it to the optimum temperature to release the THC...I used to know the exact temp for that but I have forgotten). Having tried the one in the cannabis museum in Amsterdam, my bro and J tried to deign the perfect home vaporiser. Harder than you'd think. The problem with most of them being that you can't maintain a specific temperature: it gets hot then it continues to get hotter, or it cools down. A true vaporiser shouldn;t actually 'superheat' the weed. Get it too hot and you lose a lot of the thc. They did eventually come up with a superb design,. but the cost of manufacture put it out of most people's price range. It had heat sensors that would adjust the temperature of the heatpad accordingly. Difficult to justify when there were cheaper 'vaporisers' on the market. We stuck to our pipe designs.

Nowadays I suspect they've got a lot better.

Lots of innovation happening and many different designs. I don't think that they've been perfected yet, and I think we will see more improvement. Most now use ceramic heating elements. And yes, they are expensive, but especially worth it if you do smoke a lot.

One of my biggest concerns with them is that they're, well--hot. VERY hot, with an exposed heating element. Stoner + potential for burn injuries = not good!

But again, different designs and innovation may solve this problem in the future.

You can go to vapenow.com to get an idea of different designs.

I think the one my bro designed wuold have had to retail at around £350 and that was ten years ago. I think they had ceramic heating elements in mind too. What pushed the price up was the thermostat i think.

Colorado has legalized "medicinal" marijuana and turned the entire thing into a racket with doctors as the pushers. A friend of mine had back pain and went into the doctor. She gave him a licensed MJ card, and told him to select from the various products for sale in her office. It seems that in Colorado, you get a licensed MJ card for any ail that afficts you. I am thinking of going in and complaining about the arthritis in my knees (a real problem). I bet I could finagle a card.
