Nicotine Vapes

Cigarettes make me feel dirty from the inside out. Joints too but that’s a different story.

Dynavap will help fix that.

I prefer hash anyway. I’m pretty anti-combustible even though hash burns a little.

Should be easy enough with a little heat and pressure.

I do it with bubble all the time but never dry sift.

(If you’ve got bubble bags the 160 is perfect.)

But I agree perfectly dry and crumbled up.

A screen is good too I just happen to have the bag so it’s convenient.

My first hash makings were on a screen I got from an art supply store for printmaking.

I slammed my graduated cylinder into my counter top while trying to shake water out of it, shattered it. Ended up being a good mistake as I started measuring by weight, so much quicker and nothing to clean up.

I’m pretty sure I’m just as addicted to the sensation of inhaling as I am nicotine. I don’t get any real feeling/throat hit when I puff 0mg, nor do I get any satisfaction. I settled on 6mg and usually use a dripper as my tank wicking ability usually ends up with my pocket full of vape juice.

I’ll probably go back to my noisy cricket when/if this eleaf Invoke eventually dies. I regret not buying an extra while they were still in production. It’s the tiniest 2 cell vw mod with replaceable batteries I’d found circa 2017 and claims it’s capable of 220 watts. I’m on my 7th pair with it. Plus you can make cool drawings in the custom firmware editor.

Wish I had a buck for every time the bumpkins see me fellating my roboschlong and tell me matter of factly “you know they put anti freeze in them things.”

Actually I make it myself and know exactly what is and isn’t in it.

I have given that answer, but it usually ends up in a conversation. Now I usually just say “Really? Wow” while looking at it in my hand with my confused face.

You’re not a drug addict you’re a scientist.

I’ve got to find some old pics. Around 2009-10 they banned smoking in my ex mil’s bingo hall in Florida. I made a nice cut selling home made mods and juice from all the geezers that ran on 4 AA batteries (the only safety, if you can call it that, it’d still burn the shit out them if the button got pressed for too long)

Used to love vaping nicotine.

All the flavors and giant clouds… Puffing like crazy when I needed to focus…

Eventually it started giving me a headache every time I would take it past a certain point, so I ultimately stopped doing it.

I do think “pound for pound” it’s healthier than cigarettes, but as others have hinted at or mentioned it is really easy to over do it. I used to vape inside/outside all day. Couldn’t really do that with cigarettes.

I could vape at work and no one would even know as long as I was careful.

I think for some people that kind of accessibility means they will use it a lot, but others probably won’t have the same issue.

The weird part is there is no finish point. You smoke a cigarette, it’s done, you’re done. When do you stop vaping? Never.

I don’t keep up with it anymore but the “culture” that’s emerged from it is wild. On its conception, it posed a threat to some of the most detatched monsters in the the public sphear, big tobacco. It was kind of an upheaval of precedent when vaping started gaining popularity, pretty much unregulated. People had used ingenuity and technology from all over the place in the world around them to take this unjust tyrannical “power” back from the people who sold them cancer and demolished lungs. Then vaping got packaged as an extension of your biomechanical tattoos and faux hawk, or appealed to your sensibilities as an otherwise spotless soccermom concerned about what other parents might say about your smokers breath and stained teeth. New mods from new companies every day, through which you too can express your individuality, more and more brands to help you choose your unique voice in the “movement”. Like how if you’re a tough guy who likes to vape alone at night in a back-lit alley wearing sunglasses, you need this new purge mods series with the blood splatter colorway bruh…sort of just takes me back to idolizing James deans rebelious cigarettes, or the Marlboro man updated, or the Maltese falcon or casablanca, Dennis leary…repackaged to sell you the same old thing in a new way

I dunno, now it just makes me think: Wait, what were we talking about again?

I’m still for it, from a harm reduction standpoint. Anyone who smokes should switch, imho, if not quit altogether. If you don’t smoke, you shouldn’t start vaping. It’s irresponsible given all the information openly available to everybody, and it saddens me to see how high schoolers view it as something that makes you cool, like cigarettes used to do. Like we had some sort of a chance at something and kind of blew it…

I’ll never look down at a smoker either, tho, its a really really tough habit. ideally it’d be great if every current smoker alive right now unable to quit made the switch to vaping, and after that, no one ever touches another modern chemical cigarette again, and the vape market simply shrank away, unneeded.

Obviously by now even I realize I’m rambling, if anybody made it all the way to the end of this post, my apologies lol but it’s a super interesting time to be alive watching the evolution of whatever the fuck it is we’re doing lol

The main disturbing thing about vaping is what’s called “mass loss”, which is when the weight of the vapor is less than the liquid being atomized, i.e. what is the gunk on the dirty coil? and what percentage of this mysterious stuff are we inhaling?

I do know inhaling a lit cigarette is exponentially worse tho

Also, the diacetyl thing only proved one thing really, overexposure to mega processed synthetic food- like ingredients can and will kill you.

Also, there’s more diacetyl in a regular cigarette than what was typically used in vape juice :flushed: :exploding_head:

and there was no correlation between factory workers who contracted popcorn lung and smoking, over half the workers did not smoke.

But that one guy that huffed fifty bags of microwave popcorn a day is an anomaly. That’s just nuts.

Wait, I’m not supposed to do this? My popcorn bill will shrink dramatically.
