In the bigger picture talking about vaping and the bad press youā€™ve gotta think tobacco companies donā€™t wanna lose out on the sales of cigarettes and the legislation behind cigarettes was prolly bribed all the way in just like alcohol plenty of cash in the legal drugs so to spread bad news on vapes is how they retain business.

Iā€™ve been thinking about making my own carts as I wanna give up the smoking part entirely I just wanna microdose so Iā€™m always high but not too high so I could put a pen down when Iā€™ve had enough rather than smashing a dab or an edible and not being able to move for hours although Iā€™ll still likely do that to myself Iā€™d like the convenience of havin a cart of weed so like is there only certain types of e-cigarette that weed can be consumed in or will anything with a tank do?

And if any tank will do how do the coils get affected? Like is there a pen out there I could carry around with me thatā€™s small and at a fair price point thatā€™s designed for just that purpose?

If youā€™re looking for stealth, and the ability to ā€œsipā€ on it instead of doing micro dabs (which the atomizer I linked up above can do), you might be better off with one of those Yocan pens someone linked up above.

Not so much the stealth aspect I mean thatā€™s obviously a bonus but just the simplicity like rather than rolling joints all the time just make something up like BHO whack it in a pen/cart an a toke every now and again. Like I only know how to make BHO and the Rick Simpson alcohol oil method and I made BHO a few times once itā€™s bubbled to next to nothing that stuff is super potent. So like it has longevity as well.

You might just consider making your own e-juice then, with a carrier like PEG. I did used to have a gentlemanā€™s cart which was sold to do just what youā€™re talking about, and you could load up a half gram of wax in itā€¦ I just found that towards the end of that half gram it tasted pretty spent, and the effects werenā€™t the same as the beginning of that half gram, if you know what I mean. So you might just go with some home made e-juice.

A common misconception among people who arenā€™t active in the vape advocacy groups is that the vape industry is fighting big tobacco. In reality big tobacco is on board to a certain extent. Every major tobacco company has a vape brand. Some brands that support vaping with big money donations to lobbyists are Phillip Morris and Lorillard. If they were able to keep vaping legal, the big tobacco companies would see many benefits from switching to and taking over the competition in the vape scene. Itā€™s more likely the vape industry is fighting big pharma, as vapes replaced a good portion of the cessation market, IE: Nicorette

Just wanted to share this, those evil and deadly carts are back on the streets. Please donā€™t buy them from dealers. Even if they are your friends.

I just found out that a friend of mine is currently In hospital with ā€œpopcorn lungsā€ and is very sick

I would not trust any vape juice that was not made by me. I vape nicotine.

Make it yourself. Itā€™s the only way to be sure.

Never made it with cannabis but it canā€™t be that hard.

My mix is just 3-4 ingredients depending on what Iā€™m making. No additives of any kind

This is totally true.

I was chatting with the owner of a vape shop and he told me the real enemy is the pharmaceutical lobby. they stand to lose a lot if smoking cessation products become obsolete.

It was our belief that Big Pharma is who we were fighting too. Big Pharma and the States have already lost billions from the nicotine vape industry, and Big Tobacco stands to gain a lot by doing away with combustible tobacco and switching to vapes. Vapes are not included in the settlements from the 90s that force tobacco companies to pay a portion of their revenue out each year with the intent of using it for stop smoking initiatives. Of course our governments (state and federal) donā€™t even use it for what they got it for in the first place. States like California and New York stand to lose hundreds of millions off their budgets every year if tobacco quit being sold. Keep following the money and it looks less and less like theyā€™re ā€œtrying to protect our childrenā€ and more like a money grab.

Banning flavors other than tobacco and menthol will stop millions of adults from using vape products, myself included. I quit for 7 years, went back to cigs during my separation from my wife, and currently cant find a product that works for me due to the witch hunt of Juul. I had gotten back off of the cigarettes for a little while using their mango flavor, then they took the flavors out of stores to try and curb the attacks they were getting. I have never been able to use tobacco or menthol flavors. They make me nauseous. My first 3 flavors were root beer, blueberry and vanilla. My two go to flavors for most of the 7 years I quit were gummy bears and vanilla custard.

The menthol works for me. Tobacco flavouring is always wrong. Itā€™s got cloves or cinnamon or chocolate or something in it that isnā€™t quite right.

If youā€™ve quit, good on you. If you still plan to vape I would highly recommend making it yourself. VG, PG, nicotine, flavour. Thatā€™s it. And a few syringes.

It costs virtually nothing too :slight_smile:

Thatā€™s what I used to do. Still have all my supplies, but Iā€™m sure the nic is bad now. Problem is the setup. I used to vape using high VG and RTAs around 30-50w. When I tried to go back after smoking cigs for 3 months it just wasnt satisfying. Wife got a Juul and that worked pretty well for me, but a month after I started that is when the flavors got pulled. Tried a few different nic salt setups, but they were either leaky or too strong on the power. At the moment I just dont have the funds to drop into a new device that may or may not do the trick. I originally quit with old school ego batteries and cartomizers, but thatā€™s old tech now and hard to get ahold of.
