What's you're best self?

If you feel happier when you smoke, then keep doing it. If you feel better when you don't, then knock it on the head.

Your nipper needs you at your very best, and your happiest.

Only you can judge that one buddy. I can tell you though that little ones need happiness.

Having lost a parent myself I feel your pain, but you need to do whatever you can for those issues not to affect your kid.

I'm sure your Dad would want you to be as proud and best a parent as you can be. In his honour.

Most important thing is that you stay strong. Your kid needs it.

Don't be afraid to ask for professional help by seeing your GP who can refer you.

There are a lot of people out there that can give you help.

Take care and all the best. ❤️

Thanks for the response, it was 👍

I think I'm at my best without now, wasn't always that way. I might just keep it for holidays abroad.

Cheers.

Hey dude, sorry to hear this. I went through the same thing with my farther a few years back and its a tough time..

Maybe give CBD flower a try? It may take an edge off without going down the whole THC route.

Also with a little one on the way CBD (or legal full spectrum extracts) is a nice way to get that familiar feeling we all love, but still be able to do all the things we need to as a responsible-ish adult. :)

If you ever need any advice on the subject let me know as I work in the industry.. There is also a CBD vendor on here as well if you need to buy anything :)

Hope everything goes as well as it can dude and stay strong...

I think I'm either all in or none at all, I get too carried away with most things. Think I'm gonna stick it out but will consider CBD if it gets a bit much.

Cheers for the comment 👍

No worries my friend, you need to do what’s right for you 🙂👍

He passed away, luckily we all got to be there. I feel really sorry for anyone who had to do that over zoom. Thanks for the comments everyone, really appreciate it.

So sorry to hear this 😔 please feel free to message directly anytime you need a chat. I don't always see topics due to the "algorithm" but it's an open offer to anyone who needs a chat at anytime not just LGB.

Take care x

Sorry man…😢
Go top shelf…smoke less but better ❤️🔥❤️

Think I'm going to see how the first few months go. Cheers 👍

sorry to hear you news bigga.

for what its worth i cant imagine fatherhood without cannabis.

I feel like I put more effort in without, but it really helps with stress 🤷‍♂️

Cheers 👍

Sorry for your loss 😞 my friends fella lost his Dad just before their little one was born it’s shit. Hope you get through whatever way you can!

It’s taken me over a year to truly transition and I have spent an arm and a leg doing it. I have a mighty and would not recommend it. But I’m sure many people will and at the end of the day it’s all down to personal preference and what routine fits into your life style.

I would recommend a dynavap there cheap effective and emulate smoking closer than any other device. There is a learning curve with it. And this is true for all vaporisers you won’t pull any out of the box and be blown away on your first try because you won’t have the experience with that device to truly utilise it first go.

I use a flowerpot for my at home desktop vape but I can appreciate not everyone will want to spend £500 on a vaporiser but would highly recommend.

I also use a dynavap daily these are great. It’s like stoner Lego with so many mods and attachments you will never get bored

I also have a dreamwood mini punch which is a beast and chucking out clouds like you wouldn’t believe but also has a learning curve.

The hardest part about transitioning from smoking to vaping is cutting out the tobacco if you used it. But that’s where you will get cravings and find you give in plus a vape high is much cleaner and less groggy.

Be warned everyone though viper is on a mission to buy every artisan vape and accessory aca world wide (at least I think that's their plan!) So if you want some get it fast

Viper come let me show you my artisan rabb1t pipes, now you may think these resemble stainless steel straws but once I stick em in a block of wood they will be boss 😉 I can put you down for 10preorders yea 😍

Anyhow Viper201 has the vapes I would buy or have something similar of other than those beautiful bricks 😍😍😍 there sooooooo sexy 🐍🐍🐍🐍

Ssshhh. Don’t tell everyone. And you can definitely stick me down for a preorder😜

And I can confirm the dreampunch mini works well just vaped 0.5G chucking massive clouds had to check on a couple of occasions I hadn’t combusted as it was chucking so much vapour.

# mini monster & absolute beast

Dynavap Under £100

Flowerpot £500

Dream punch mini Under £150

😍😍😍!

It looks so much nicer in person, these photos don’t do it justice. And you wouldn’t believe how effective it is.

I now WANT one 🥺!
Assuming I have 10 thumbs and no wish to incinerate either my stash or my throat (or house) just how much “getting the hang of it” do these take??
I hate the feckin ‘click’ nonsense of my Dynavap and never get it right- how do you work the butane on this one Viper?

Also if you are going to get one ask them to make it for you. They made me a mini punch. Dlx pro v2 which is like a mini punch but you can use it on a bong. They also gave me a glass pipe so I can use it as a handheld pipe. They also made me a dyna stem for free. I paid £215 including €15 shipping. They deducted the German tax and sent as a gift so I didn’t pay tax here

The mini punch and dlx pro retail for £260 together in the uk

There is definitely a learning curve, and It depends on your style of vaping. I used to be a bong smoker so when I vape I look for big hits.

My first attempt I had the jet lighter turned down to low so was getting flavourful hits but not big clouds which is what I like.

I set the jet lighter to a medium flame and hold it so the whole flame is being drawn down the shorter glass tube and use a medium to slow draw as this allows the air to move slower over the material which produces more vapour.

I draw for 10 to 15 seconds. I also find a looser pack helps the air to circulate more and give more vapour. However a tighter pack will produce more flavour.

Since I got this on Friday I haven’t combusted anything in it yet but I am used to vaping with jet lighters.

There are two chokes one on the front and one on the back so if it starts feeling too warm you can release the front choke or move the lighter away from the glass tube. The rear choke helps to clear the chamber once you stop lighting.

After a few goes it’s quite intuitive.

In terms of bowl size I find between 0.2g to 0.3G is about right but I think you could put less in.

The one thing I would say is that when you first get it there is a noticeable wood taste and depending on what wood it’s made from will effect the taste. I have heard the purple heart has a neutral taste. However once you have used it for a while the taste does go. Or you get used to it.

Very useful buddy, many thanks!
Obviously being a Mighty user (“Press orange button & breathe”) my brain now hurts 🤪 but it does look like a great piece of kit to add some variety to my rituals (and impress the Rabb1t 🐰)…and what with Xmas coming….🤞

The problem I had with the mighty was I could kill the battery to quickly. Which would then take me straight back to smoking. I also found it goes popcorny way to fast. I also used to find it would take me 20 mins to try and extract a 0.3G bowl.

In the mini punch with the right technique you can do it in 3-5mins.

I think it would definitely impress the rabb1t.

Mine is made of kingwood but they would make it out of any wood you asked.

I think it would make an awesome Christmas or Birthday gift.

I’m also starting to find with vaping that they all have a place and are fun to use. But this little monster has slotted straight into my vaping arsenal and is up there hitting with the big boys. I quite like having a variety of vapes keeps me entertained.

I can defo see where you are coming from amigo..I want to have a vape repertoire but I also want to dial in a particular temperature.
If I can get over that then I will either buy this or perhaps the Vapman……or possibly both…or 🤯

What’s your reason for wanting to obtain a certain temp. What is the temp you are aiming for.

I start a fresh bowl off at 180 for lots of flavour and then crank it up as I go through. I also love my hash sandwiches so I dial it up to 205, 210…

Trying to do anything like that with my DynavapM was impossible (for me) and I generally hit it too hot for comfort…😠

The rabb1t has an awesome guide for the dynavap.

Follow that to the t and you can’t go wrong.

I was vaping hash sandwiches in the dreampunch last night. They were great

The dart stem I showed earlier works amazing for hash and because you can hold the wood and the mouth piece is plastic you can hit it hard

Thanks buddy…
I made up a ‘Gold Top Cereal Milk’ last night with Gold Beldia hash from Pistach & Superhans’ Cereal Milk weed…bloody lovely!😍

Sounds delicious, mine was amnesia haze with Pineapple Express topped with skywalker og

Boom!🔥❤️

I use the same hash to make a Pineapple Gelato Cake! 😎🔥

Do you know what you’ve put me in the mood for a hash sandwich. I’m going stardawg and pink runtz. I’ll let you think of the name.😜

Pink Pawz?

Enjoy! 🦊

😍😍

😍

All sorts of beautiful contraptions out there but for an everyday carry I'd say:
Electronic = Tinymight
Butane = Dynavap

Agree with all that the Mighty/ Crafty works great, I just can't bare to look at either.

🤣🤣
My mum used to say that about me…

You can always put your Mighty in a Gucci purse with just the mouthpiece poking out 🤓👍❤️

🙌🐰

I suppose for 2021 the Mighty/Crafty is a bit German industrial ie ugly, now you point it out..
I may never be able to look at it the same again…but then I guess people have ugly children and learn to love them.
It can be my little pig ugly baby 🥰🥰

It feels and looks like cheap plastic tat 🦊

Thankfully it performs better 😉

Now you’ve gone too far…🐰

I’m offended….😠

They are made out of the same plastics as every car dashboard circa 1985

Honestly if it came with a radio which only picks up LW/MW and has a single speaker in the glovebox it's would basically be my first car (I'm not that old my car was old 😜)

But it still works a treat so please don't be offended 🦊

How could I be offended when your latest rig looks like something the Flowerpot Men rejected and if you dumped the rest on Wimbledon Common the Wombles wouldn’t take a shit on it…🐰

Best comment so far Polly 🐰❤️❤️❤️❤️🦊

I have absolutely no response to that

Mainly cause I can't stop laughing long enough to think of one ☺️😃🤯🐰😍🦊

Now looking at that Tinymight- that is one much loved piece of kit!

Can’t see any availability in the UK though….?

I have a nagging feeling that you need to order from them directly nowdays... But would be happy for someone to prove me wrong😁 ideally somewhere that does PayPal or klarna 😉

Hey

For flower I use my volcano for when at home. The XL balloons are brilliant!!! When out and about I use my Pax. Although Im looking at a Crafty, the new Davinci to replace my Pax for at home and the Flip Brick (comes with a cool butane torch) for home because I love the look of it and feel one should treat themselves now and again lol

For concentrates my PuffCo Peak is the one for home and for out and about I use the PuffCo Plus. Everything I have is worth every penny but the PuffCo Plus was the cheapest of them all!

Seen as you asked for best. I personally believe the Volcano Hybrid is the best home vape on the market. Flower and concentrate capability, BT control. Portable enough to take on trips to other houses or on holiday. I have done this countless times.

The best on the go vape imo is The Crafty+. The only downside being the battery life but if u have a portable charging pack it could easily last you a day out. It also does flower with cartridges that keep your oven spotless. Also concentrates via a liquid pad same as the volcano and also BT control.

And for concentrates I wld say the Puffco Peak or Peak Pro, with the pro being a luxury. It's as portable as the volcano and gets the best flavour and efficiency for concentrates imo

Hope thats helps. Again cos you asked for best I didn't take budget into account. The first two are Storz&Bickel which are pricy, and Puffco which is pricy.

But u get what u pay for sometimes
I had a pax, had a friend have an arizer. Neither really hit the mark the same.

The volcano hybrid got me off combustion..

While these are all good suggestions, there are alternatives and different devices available to these and none of these devices are what I would use ☺️🐰

They are all good solid devices mind so please don't think I'm saying otherwise.

And the get what you pay for is definitely not something that applies to vapes... Otherwise paxes would be £60 😉

Thanks that's a couple votes for the crafty

*cracks knuckles...

What's your budget, what type of things do you want to vape, does it need to be mobile, how are you with torches and naked flames, do gnomes arouse you ? Infact ignore that last question there's only a really small subgroup of vapes that it applies to!
The rest though will help point me in a direction to suggest some.stuff 😉🐰

Legend I was hoping to hear what you would have to say, budget is a couple hundred, I am fairly mobile so would want it to be portable but don't have a worry if it's big. I am looking to knock tabbacco so something that takes flower and high grade trim well. Also if there is one easier to clean than others that would be a bonus as I like my equipment sparking. Thanks bro appreciate it in advance.

Well, of course you can spiral down the Rabb1t hole and tinker all day with your whips and your wands….but if you are less techy and dexterous and basically prefer not to incinerate your stash on at least one occasion a day like some mad professor then for your budget there is one simple answer:

The Mighty

Enjoy 👍😎

There's actually a load of dead simple ones

Taffee bowl
Tiny might
Minivap

All that outperform said mighty for ease and flavour

Taffee bowl I really want , designed by the chap who did the minivap it's bonkers

And none of my suggestions involve whips 😉🐰❤️🦊

Bonkers is the word! 🤯
Complete with “drink-ware”…really!?
How about a chip pan?…or one of those revolving doner kebab things?🤪
Oh, and it’s £330
Still want one now I’ve seen it 😍
Damn you DR! 😤

Yeah the guy wanted to make a vape that wouldn't stand out as a vape... So he made a cup 😎

The fact that it's a sensational on demand convection vape (with naff battery life) makes it even better

I’m going to invent a vape that looks like a dead seagull.

I once wrote on a form under ‘Hobbies’- “Sucking the farts out of dead seagulls”

I didn’t get the job….🦊

Sorry I was trying to see if these had done a dead seagull one but got distracted by this one

https://www.colly.land/us/nana.html


They have some interesting design choices

€649 😱😱😱😱

Yeah... They are not the cheapest

But hand made one off artisan vape that also kicks arse in the vape side of things...

I actually want a vapbong design by them but can't get past the design of it.

i have been using the tafée bowle for a few weeks now and I 10x prefer it to the mighty. The easy on-demand vape is really a game changer.

Just need 2 of them for all day sessions as the battery recharge rate can not keep up with a heavy user.

Really?…wow, that is interesting🤓…but, you know, the er…cup?…isn’t that a bit daft?…I mean don’t get me wrong I love a beer with my vape…but won’t I look like a right bell?
Please reassure me…co I do want one for Xmas!! 👍👅

The cup isn't to be used for alcohol, infact I think and bugbears hopefully can correct me if I'm wrong that the cup isn't "rated" for alcohol at all and is only designed to be used with drinks of the softer variety

*I understand if this is off-putting but you need to be mentally prepared

Shoot me in the heart why don’t you? ❤️😳

Right…they can stuff that piece of mamby pamby wokey cokey plastic shite right where the sun doesn’t shine…

No booze indeed 🥺

I figured it was better to tell you now then let you continue to get all excited about it and then ... Crushed 😔🦊😔

But now. 😔🦊🐰💞🦊😎☁️🐍☁️🦊

I do seriously appreciate that…👍❤️🐰

No booze indeed 🥺

i have the volcano, mighty & evoxhale but but the tafée bowle is the only one getting daily use now.

the cup is a gimick really and overshadows the ginder with inbuilt dose caps which is genuis. I never use the cup BUT i can see myself using it at a BBQ/xmas with unsuspecting family. the T&C of the warranty says Alcohol can corrode the plastic cup. so thats a no go :).

the style of vaping/smoking i enjoy is taking my sweet time. I find the mighty is less chilled as its always baking the herb and encouraging you to keep hitting it during. always ended up coughing lots but great flavor.

Flavour+vapour is less intense than the mighty but it still kicks and is satisfying. Its only heating via convection while the mighty is convection+conduction. vape is cooler and i can pace myself better, end up getting way more ripped than i have done on the mighty.

i meant Vapexhale not evoxhale

Yeah I have heard that's an issue if you have a moderate or higher tolerance

Flavour/vapour wise is it much different to the mighty?

Ok so first off your getting lots of recommendations for storz and bickel products such as the crafty/mighty/volcano etc
S&B are in my mind the BMW of vapes, there good quality and they work but there a bit pricey and there are plenty of other options nowdays.
When I say BMW I mean 5 series diesel not an "m" car

https://nebulavaporizers.com/product/nebula-x/

Is basically a crafty but with replaceable battery rather than built in, oh and £100 cheaper. Would I buy it again, yeah it's my go to electronic shop bought portable. Do I think you should buy it well if your happy to get something similar to the crafty but cheaper and with a free dynavap clone yeah (by a proper dynavap cap and its great)

If you want to spend £100 this
https://forbiddenfruitz.com/xmax-v3-pro/
Is getting lots of positive feedback over on the fuck combustion forums once again replaceable battery (are you sensing a trend)

And finally

https://tinymightvape.com/index.php?route=common/home

You have to order this one from Finland but 😍

Also replaceable battery 👍

Dont get me wrong you may well love a storz and bickel device but personally there like iPhones to me nice but overpriced and there are alternatives that can compete elsewhere nowdays and exceed in some areas

Sorry for waffle 😉🐰

I'm using the Arizer Solo 2 at the mo. :)

Wanted a portable vape for the house but also something that feels good in the hand.. yes its a bit chunky, but I like that solid feeling.. Very very quick to get to temp and allows you to taste all the flavors! Battery last for ever as well! I also like using the glass mouth piece, makes for a cool hit...

Puffco peak purchase on the horizon though!!!!!

I sell the Pax 2 & 3 in my shop and they do well, but I think that's because its a popular brand with the local smoking community.. The whole dry herb and extract compatibility helps though :)

Mighty (portable) or volcano are the best vapes. Also the more expensive.

The transition from smoking to vape is very difficult.start slowly with the first intake of the day.

Make sure the vape is heating and not burning the weed.

Battery duration is important.

Once you adapt the flavor is soooo much better

Stay high 🌱

I’ve been through a tonne of vapes… YMMV but honestly a little nip out and about the Dyna does an ok job, it is what it is. Portable the Mighty is simply king, it’s a work horse that’ll never let you down, cleaning is a bitch but it’s a good device, desktop a log vape or a Flowerpot really is king, what they can do with a minuscule amount of material is mind blowing. For concentrate a nice mod box running Arctic Fox and Divine Crossing just can’t be beaten imo, far prefer it to anything else ive tried for concentrates other than the Dabber switch which really is a Jack of all and imo does all very well.

Hey just noticed your comment and have a great tip for making your mighty easier to clean. Firstly I use the dosing capsules so there’s no direct contact of bud with the chamber. When I load a capsule, before putting the lid on I put a pinch of canna-cotton (cotton/hemp blend) on top of the bud and this acts as a filter to stop plant matter coming through to the cooling chamber. It makes it much easier to clean as it’s just the oils that collect which can be easily removed with a soak in isopropyl. Hope this helps!

Nice top tip mate thanks for sharing that...
I purchased the mighty and the chambers but the oil has been getting through and making more mess than expected so will be trying this method out soon.

Buddies ✓

There are Mighty/Crafty dosing capsules designed for concentrates - they have a wire mesh pad inside. I’ve never had anything get through to the chamber, and you can just take out the pad if you want weed instead….👍👍

I've gone through countless dry herb vaping devices and, for me, the Grasshopper was easily the best in terms of performance, flavour, portability, even looks. The one downside is that they are prone to breaking if not stored correctly or handled with a decent level of care. On the other hand they have a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer! I'm hoping they come out with a newer model which solves some of these problems, but they are still a pretty small startup so not holding my breath. Currently using a Pax 3 which is a solid 7/10.

Puffco peak pro and the puffco plus is what I use if I had to buy one for dry herb it would be the volcano

From a UK point of view there are many

- my personal fav is Vessel craftsman
- to carry around is vessel compass

both are for vapes - they cant be beat
i had the PCKT plus and that is good no doubt but Vessel products are in a league of their own

interestingly they came through some bonafide vendors and went off the shelves like there is no tomorrow - lucky to have both with me :) - amazin

Mighty vapes going for £205 now because the mighty plus has been released which is £350ish for not much more jazz

M3 and c cell for concentrates
Mighty for dry herb

Bong da hash!

Get the Arizer solo 2, watch some videos on YouTube, you won't be disappointed and it's not too pricey.

I've gone through loads of vapes, I wish I spent a more money on my initial purchase and just got the solo 2 to begin with.
