That stem looks like it would be a bastard to store/transport; and enough of a joy to use you don't give a shit!
Can you decap the Dyna with that interesting top section of your grinder, or does it just provide a convenient rest?
Now that is a salutation I can get behind! Blessed day to you also frient!
Sounds like it tickes all the boxes! How do you cope with the ever expanding range of vapes, accessories and cleaning products, or are you superhuman and immune to VAS??
Nothing savage about blazin da herb, although it's definitely not the best for your health. I started smoking spliffs when I was 13, so the muscle memory and association means that as soon as I start rolling I get this Pavlovian relaxation effect, no actual combusion/ingestion required. I'm not quite there with vaping, which I've "only" been doing for about nine years. I still have the occasional zoot, but for health reasons I try to restrict it to holidays and special occasions. But nothing wrong with bunning the occasional zoot, I reckon, whatever the purists might say.
Yeah, from my perspective, the main reason you use water with combustion is to cool the smoke down so it's not as harsh. Vapour is cooler than smoke, and if you put your vapour through water, it stands to reason that you are going to filter out some small percentage of the volatile terpenes etc. At the very least, it doesn't taste as fruity; and at worst you're reducing the amount of good stuff getting to your lungs. I can see how if you have particularly sensitive lungs/throat, that might be a trade-off you're willing to take. At least one of my mates finds even vapour too harsh for them, and for them I think water might be a good choice. I also think that for vaping, if you are going to use water, warm water makes sense. Again, we're not really going for cooling; and adding moisture back into the dry vapour would make sense from that perspective for smoothness' sake.
The Kaiju Crush is a solid brew. Aus has a thriving microbrewery industry, and I always like choosing a six pack of something I haven't trtied before. I'm also partial to a cup of tea with my cannabis partaking, whether vaping or combustion.
Hah! I have the GRAV j-hook, and I have to confess I've never put water in it; I can def see the appeal of the eloquently-described purring sensation. As I noted in that other post, I rarely put water in 'water' pieces, but you make it sound eminently attractive.
I have to say I'm surprised the TM hasn't found a home in your bounteous collection. As far as battery portables go, it's pretty nearly end-game for what I would imagine would be a majority of users. There are more powerful vapes, and more beatiful ones, but not available without going on waiting lists and shit; ain't nobody got time for that. Well, maybe I do. But I don't have the budget at this stage.
No worries! It's a great vape, I suspect any detractors have not got the technique down pat (altho, as I prove, you don't need to have perfect technique to enjoy it!). It is often described as functional art, and I have to say I can't disagree. It's definitely a connoisseur's vape - not in a snobby way, but those who just want to get from A to B as fast as possible will likely have no truck with it; it's something to be savoured and enjoyed, for those who enjoy the Ritual(tm). If that's you, and you like butane vapes, it's a lock afaiac.
A fellow ent of culture, I see! Dry glass ftw
Thanks! I strongly recommend the Ed's TnT WPA, it feels more secure than glass on glass, and fits 14 & 18mm joints.
PS damn it's nice to able to link shit. No affiliation btw, just love craftsmanship
So the early adopters don't feel left out; the OG TM is still a beast
I am aware that is not technically "glass".
Knowing my [wife's] propensity to break things - even titanium bracelets, damhikt… I have double-walled steel as my 'water'* piece of choice
*see above
That's a really good point
