Vaporents

Just completed a 450mi bike tour. Sorry the site went offline, tried to fix an issue with the mobile version through my phone and it took the whole thing down. Whoops.

I didn't take my laptop, couldn't afford to carry the extra weight with the vapes I took lol.

Hitting the TM2 to relax and pause while thinking about how to fix this so I can ebike the 300 miles back home..

What’s your favorite vape for fixing fucked up problems?

Couldn’t bring everything I wanted to because it was like 500lbs of stuff.

Two of these will run/charge directly from my eBike though (since it’s got a 12v DC system), so they were obvious choices to keep when cutting weight.

It's called the "Pipsqueak", and I love it. I wanted a water piece that was very small, but I didn't want to buy one of those inline hydrotubes that are often proprietary to a specific device and sometimes spill water into your vape.

So this is a perfect solution to that. It's simpler, easier to clean. Basically just a much smaller version of a traditional bong. Sneaky Pete sells one.

Will fix that once I get back from the colo. The docker container wants a reboot for whatever reason, and there's some updates to that front-end pending.

Combusted on the first bowl w/o capsule, so I need to clean it and keep using it for a bit to give good feedback on this thing. In the meantime, here's an unboxing and a couple pics.

Posting multiple pics, let alone videos here sucks. I'm going over to put the 2nd server in the colo this afternoon and hopefully fix that.

Hi, folks. I'm in the market for my first dry herb vape. In the past, my consumption preference has always been combusted flower in a glass bowl, but I'm a heavy enough user that the regular smoking is starting to get to me. I find edibles too unpredictable and I worry that concentrates will just shoot my tolerance to the moon (based on experience with cartridges.) This led me to consider dry herb vaping.

My wife bought an XMAX V3 (POTV edition) a while back, but hasn't been using it regularly, so I borrowed it this week to see how I liked the experience. With some practice, I've been able to really enjoy using it and I'm now I'm sold on vaping and ready to make the switch away from combustion.

After a few days of research, I'm really leaning towards the Tinymight 2 for myself, but with its price, I'm hesitating. So I'm here in the hopes that someone will either push me off the cliff into vaping bliss or pull me back and push me towards a more reasonably priced alternative.

My requirements and things I like about the TM2:

Must be portable, but not necessarily in a pocketable or stealthy way. I don't plan to just carry it around when I'm out and about, but I'd like to be able to quickly grab it to use around the house or take it to a friend's place.

Removable batteries. I want the ability to just swap batteries and use an external charger instead of needing to plug the device in.

Power. While I am able to get good hits from the V3, it involves a long draw, steadily increasing in strength, while covering one set of air holes entirely and feathering a finger over the other set. Even then, it takes several hits to get me where I want to be. I love the idea of just taking a big rip or two and being good. I'm not really after a "session" experience most of the time.

Flexibility in use. This might just go hand-in-hand with being a portable device, but I like how easy it is to change your experience just by changing stems, adding a bong, etc. I'd like to completely switch to vaping and I think having those options will help.

Reliability/repairability. While I'm new to dry herb vaping, I have been vaping nicotine for over a decade, so I'm broadly familiar with similar devices. I really like what I've read about Tinymight 2 in this regard. I even saw the guy say that if the threads on the battery compartment strip (very common in my experience with nicotine vapes,) he'll just send out a new top piece with instructions on how to replace it yourself if you don't want to ship your device in for repair. That is very attractive to me, especially considering the price of the device.

Ease of use. I don't mind an initial learning curve at all, but once I've figured the device out, I don't want to continue fiddling with it. I'm not interested in anything requiring an external heat source for this reason. I appreciate that this is a fun hobby for some, but I just want to dial in the settings I like, push a button, and get high, not build a mad science lab on my desk.

So with all those considerations, is the TM2 the device for me?

Soooo stoked.

Now I can setup an RMA for the USB C on the other one being janked up.

Looks like topgreen did it again, looks really cool and versatile, and for $80! people will run it as their out and about device easily, although the glass stem can be a double edge sword. The heater is detachable so it's a pro and a con, imagine stoners switch between mods and lose the heater lol

🙏🏼 love this place. Also have to give it up for the boring, yet effective, and efficient workhorse of the vape world; the Mighty.

To prep for my bike trip, and have some new shit to post about here along the way, I let VAS get me a little today. It'll give me another thing to make videos/pics of too.

• XVape Mambo
• XVape Starry v4
• Flowerpot Tomcat Head to go w/ the DeWalt battery controller
• Mighty with DC barrel plug (It looks like I might have bought their last one)

Pretty excited to try the Mambo! It looks like a neat little entry level vape.

The Tomcat head seems interesting/weight saving if just using herb but wanting to change up bowl style while traveling.

Mighty will let me send my USB C + Mighty in for service, then I'll have two when it's fixed mwahaha.

Then finally the Starry v4 cause the v3 was pretty dope imo, and I was already ordering the Mambo from XVape so fuck it.

https://old.beyondcombustion.net/c/vaporents exists as of yesterday. (expect it to be intermittent for now)

I get a 400 error when signing in, the primary instance is rejecting the "old" one's hostname. That'll get sorted out though.

Finally got my ESPHome based e-nail up and running. This solution is fully integrated with Home Assistant, allows control via MQTT, built-in web interface, or on the device itself using the screen and rotary encoder. Next steps are building out settings menus on the screen itself and working through a few electrical gremlins with erroneous ground fault errors from the MAX31855 at higher temperatures

Not to exclude Theydies & Gentlethem, but couldn't resist the alliteration.

Sticky Brick Jr in Zebrawood.

What a beast.

I have to say, I don't often hit the Anvil native with the stock stem, but if you need a throat-tickle like you used to get in the combustion days, look no further...

May your day also be blessed with coffee, cannabis, cat hair & clouds ✌️

Hey frients! In the interest of sparking discussion, Imma come right out with it:

Glass is better with no water in it [for vaping].

Fight me.

JK, we are all about peace and love here (it's a cannabis community after all)… but tell me why I'm wrong… I dare ya

Do you use a water piece? Ice/cold water/warm water? Justify, defend, explain!

Do you drink alcohol [at the same time as vaping]? What's your favourite beverage to accompany a sesh with the Devil's Lettuce?

And the Vapman Womans, and Vapman Enbies et al

Where's the love?? So lo-tech it makes the Dyna look space-age, and so flavoursome it makes the Mighty cry.

Give it up for the Vapman!

So I may have a bit of VAS...

I actually have two RYOT safecases, and three Pelican cases in various sizes.

Love the Trekpak system, Ive got a bunch of spare pins and dividers so can reconfigure if required.

I have young kids, so lockable and smell-proof is pretty critical.

How do you all keep your shit stored and safe?

Figured I'd start a thread on flying with cannabis and vaporizers as I try to decide what device I'm packing this trip...

Here's a few things I've been doing for domestic flights in the US.

1. Be cool. - Literally nobody gives a shit if it's a personal amount.
2. Don't bring a shit ton of cannabis. - Just bring a personal amount for the trip, maybe figure out something at your destination. Don't strap a pound of Purple Urkel Cheetah-piss Haze to your gooch and expect to not get caught.
3. Clean your devices. - At a minimum, you probably needed to clean them. But this helps reduce smell and depending on what it is can make it easier to play off as something different.
4. TSA Doesn't Care - It's not their job. They go through my bag each trip. Never an issue.
5. I was using a Ryot Safe Case and I love it for organization and stuff. Its really nice to toss in a backpack and keep things more protected. I've also just tossed my mighty and a half oz on top of my clothes at home just to open my luggage upon arrival to find one of those TSA inspection sheets next to it, so its not really to hide anything in that case.

YMMV and some states like Texas DO care about you flying in with Cannabis products. Do your own research and asses what you deem as acceptable risk before flying with cannabis.

Anyone else have any experiences or tips? International folks?

The "bones" are getting there.

Way easier to make new pages then GitHub.

1. Go to a URL, if it's not there click "New Page".
2. Then type/paste stuff into it, click save.
3. BOOM a new page is born to help a future "vape curious" individual try a different method of consumption.

Yesterday, I answered to some buddy about mixing THC / CBD.

Today, I came back to see if there was any interaction with other people, and only then noticed the "crossposted from r/vaporents" thing.

Damn I feel awful. Not only did I take some of my personal tome to try and help some fellow vaporents, but also this person will never even know I tried to help.

I perfectly understand that we need some content here to attract new people / former redditors, but I do no wish this place to be a ghost town.

What do you think ?

Let's break that reddit habit, we all know what we do around here lol

The one I found wasn't in stock and was canceled. Probably from them being so discounted lol. But, it sounds like the inventory finally ran out at S&B and whatever's left is all that's going to be in the retail channel.

Anyone got a lead on one? 🙃

If you were a fan of the DC plug over the USB C that's sad news.

gotta love being able to post links and know they won't be taken down.

This drill battery enail thing from CH looked too weird to not have, so I ordered one when they were recently posted and thought it would be cool to use while traveling, camping, or after biking to a park/whatever.

Now I have to figure out what to put on the coil.... I have a B1, B2, and I think a B-zero around here somewhere..... so any other suggestions on a durable option as a portable ball vape head?

I could take apart something I have, but that's no fun. :-)

Just because you have the option doesn't mean you have to. Most other vapes don't ever change their heater too. So, because of that, I find the glow quite hassle free. You'll just need to learn to control you draw and basically how to use an unregulated convention vape (not as hard as you might think XD). But ofc you can do some nice coil builds with it if you want to. > * Hell, the price is good too, it's definitely not as expensive as a mighty for example. And for an hand crafted vaporizer, I think it's a great price (don't forget the price of the box mod and the batteries though). > > > For like a year, I've been using the coils that came installed with the glow, they worked perfectly for me at ~35-42w and gave my like 8-9 hits of tasty, decent size clouds. > > Now I'm using SS316L coils, I find it a little more forgiving when you vaporize at high temps. The taste is the same, I think. It's easier to let other people use the vape too, because you don't have to explain how to use it every fucking time. > > Bonuses to those who reached so far: > * The stock MP fits 14mm female joint naturally, so you can just hit a bong whenever you like. > * I highly recommend to use ArcticFox, the autofire and 30+ seconds timeout features making the use so much more convenient.

Edit: some points that I forgot are

• it fits 18/26 glass stems and bong adapters
• The finish is so well done, smooth and just beautiful! Dreamwood are known for their great woodworking on various vapes NGL.
