Search the sativas on leafly app, pick a few you like the sound of then copy the search to lb.. see who's got what or similar... but green cat always has some good clean sativa leaning strains as does the green team.
Power plant Is one of the ultimate sativas @100% but very rare these days. Another decent one is : Durban Poisen which sometimes pops up on lb. White widow is sativa dominant and another is Jet fuel. 👍

The Poison OG from TGT is outstanding..Durban/Kush cross, get both the parents in the smoke and nice balanced hybrid

As below mate The Green Team strawberry I found creative and got stuff done. Radar breeder/Green Cat have held Silver Haze consistently for years, and a shout for Riley packs Dutch and UK hazes

Sounds just what I'm looking for, nice one

Enjoy mate happy searching

The green team are what you're after!
I can't vouch for their supersilverhaze being what you speak of and another one from the is strawberry haze which has prominent haze smells (incense/old church?) And a stone that makes everything better/brighter/funnier/easier to cope

Cool I'm gonna check them out. Thanks

The best ive had is the cbx sativas from sn2d.

Green cat is top notch and has great selection. Sativa/indica is a bit of a misconception, was caused by two different people seeing the plants in different environments a long time ago and calling them two different things. If your looking for something to rattle your brain just go for highest THC (I ask chatgpt to help me choose between strains). For sure there is variation between strains in terms of chemo types but it's not the stereotype of indica sativa. https://www.businessinsider.com/why-theres-no-difference-between-indica-and-sativa-marijuana-strains-2020-4

Nice one thanks

There is in fact a difference, but its not the stereotypical definition for everyone. try them out for yourself and pick what you like

https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/indica-vs-sativa-whats-the-difference

Sativa and indica started out as names for cannabis from different parts of the world, and the original landrace varieties do have real genetic differences. But even among those, the chemical profiles aren’t clearly divided, both can have high THC, CBD, or similar terpene content. The idea that one always gives you energy and the other chills you out was never backed by solid science, and after decades of crossbreeding, those labels don’t mean much in most modern strains. On top of that, blind tests show people often describe the same strain in totally different ways, which shows how much of it comes down to personal expectation and individual biology.

Correct me if im wrong but ive always believed that the difference between indica and sativa effects was down to the terpenes ,not THC strength,For example limonene will have an uplifting effect and be energising ,as will pinene, that also increases alertness,where as myrcene will have a sedative effect and will cause couchlock as will linalool.If your looking for a "Wide awake" weed then shop around for strains containing pinene , limonene and other energy enhancing terpenes Hazes for example will give you that "pick me up effect" fantastic for daytime use,I hope this helps ,enjoy the sunshine X

Correct that it's the chemo type responsible for the effects along with the users disposition. What I / the data says is that's there's no clear chemo type for indica and sativa and that there's a lot of variation, and that any differences have been lost to interbreeding also.

I'll also add that it's predominantly down to THC and that CBD levels could potentially modulate the response. More research required, and on other cannabinoids. To put it simply if you took the THC out of you indica or sativa there would be essentially no effect beyond placebo in terms of psychoactivty.

I think theres a disconnect in your guys brains between a word being something and a word referring to something.
there is a difference between indica and sativa because we labelled strains with them based of what it is. so while they dont mean anything directly, they refer to whats in the plant which does mean everything.
It is personal preference and everyone feels it differently but there is 100% a difference in categories

The Green Team. Have strongest. Will put u to sleep for sure.

The quality from the mighty helps to stop the Js, I got it too.
Instead of combusting I use velo snus or eliquids.

Tbh the smell & heaviness of the tobacco joint is enough to put me off, despite the flavour contrast preference from them.

Mightys defo a top product for sure. Like polly said making a sandwich is nice, I use rosin it is pukka m8

If you switch back a J tastes like ash haha

Yep! I've been vaping for 2years now, I'll never go back 👌. Since switching to vapes, I've saved a fortune, and as they're so effective, I've cut down on the amount I smoke

Do you have a Dynavap? It's the perfect combination for a mighty

True ive been telling my friends to try vaping for a while now!
Ive heard of them but dont know much about them ill have to check it out thanks

I was just talking to another bigga about the same thing. The amount of gear that I’m using is nearly 1/2 so it’s lasting ages compared to smoking joints and also have the option of using the AVB if you can be arsed

Yes it's crazy how effecient they are for how little bud you use.

Less bud + Vape = more high

I feel like I'm cheating using a dry herb vape 😂

Especially hash

I can’t believe how much I get from the smallest bit and with the same outcome

I’m always late to the party 🎈

I occasionally mix it up with hash, I enjoy using hash with a dosing capsule along with a terp perl, either use a tiny bit of hash like you usually would, or if it's maluable wrap the hash as thin as you can around the terp perl, drop the perl in the capsule, give it time to heat up and enjoy 💨

Every days a school day. That sounds like a decent way to do it. Next time I’m at my mates that’s going on the menu

Exact same for me mate. Got the Mighty about 16 months ago and haven't had a bit of tobacco since - smoked fags and tobacco joints for about 20 years. Enjoying the weed a lot more now also - noticing all the different tastes and effects and using a lot less. Best investment I've made

So true its shocking how much better i think they are

Big time. Mighty, Tinymight2, Dynavap + induction heater, StickyBrick OG for indoors; trust ol' Fury Edge when out and about.

Is that all lol 😂 just joking of course but all top class vape options for you.

Fair play ✊

I’m on a dyna kick but can’t stop window shopping ha ha ha

Just out of curiosity 🤔

How would you rank them top to bottom on just flower so not to complicate things?

Plenty of dry herb vapers on here mate👍…with a bit of kit like the Mighty you won’t look back. I also enjoy a nice hash & herb sandwich by using a dosing capsule- so many delicious combinations 😋🤤

I've just started after 20+ years of smoking bongs.
After lurking on here and reading stories about different dry herb vapes, I finally asked a question about them and it was Polly that recommended a Tinymight 2 for my needs.
Bought one last week along with a Little ripper bong a glass adaptor and a couple of dosing capsules. Best thing i've ever done!
Hits like a proper bong but i'm no longer coughing my guts up after.
Thank you so much for the recommendation Polly! :D

I'm with you on the TM2. A fantastic bit of kit. Definitely the vape equivalent of a bong - huge clouds! The speed that it heats up, and the flavour it produces are both amazing

..and all on the tiniest amounts of green!🤩
I’m going to get a dosing capsule and try some hash👍😻

Using a volcano classic… i found that vaping shake or trim is almost as good as bud- even had good experience vaping thai stick (mrmb4real)

With no combustion you don’t get the harsher smoke but still flavour… you can vape nearly a gram… the sativa hit from that Thai was amazing… and cheap

👍👍…I do like that Thai😻

I've been experimenting with that this weekend. Its been hit and miss so far - I only have the solid dosing capsule, which didn't work (the mesh version is on order!).

The most success so far has been through a bong and an ash catcher, using the water pipe adapter and the little rimmed basket that comes with the 3d cooling stem (lined with very thin cotton bacon, and then filled fairly full).

That's given some huge and very satisfying rips, but there's a knack to it that I've not quite got yet. It seems to need a few weak draws to heat everything up (a bit like the vapman), and the ash catcher section helps a cloud to build up, but then it hits hard - similar to flower - I've had some huge clouds.

Definitely some potential with this though, so would love to hear how you get on.

Hehe, you’ve got yourself some serious kit there buddy- enjoy!🤩

It was my 40th birthday pressy to myself :D
Thanks again

Polly your in trouble 😂😂😂

Mr 💀🐰 will be raging 😡 the Angus is not on the tread lol 😆

I can just see his wee rabbit feet typing now

Isn’t the Angus a fire hazard?….just sayin’ 😉

I seen a few things on Reddit I'm sure

They do love a fight on Reddit…..

Tried that a few times works a treat 🤣 glad to see im not alone

Oh not had a good sandwich in ages. The EQ might need a dusting off 🤔🤔🤔

Dry herb vaping is just the best man! I've done it all..spliffs,chillums,waterfalls,bongs,hot knifes,spoon pipes...even a match box with tinfoil lmao ...ahh the alzheimers.
Fast forward 2018...dynavap came up on my radar and haven't looked back since .its like a proper game changer when u smoke and it turns you right off the idea of smoking eventually coz you can taste the rainbow now instead of just smoke n harshness!
Coming off the cigarettes first is a good idea though coz when your used to the smoke,even if you try vaping ,you still need the smoke coz vaping ain't shit ....when your a smoker! I'm sure peeps can relate 😆

Or the coke can pipe…

Ahh the memories…

Can’t beat a swan Vesta pipe…

Most ingenious I remember was a mate turning one of those solar garden lights into a fucked up bong aptly named "Solar bong"

Believe they nabbed it from someone's garden on a trip to get munchies 🤷‍♂️😂

Yeah I vape all my flowers now and odd bit of hash makes things go so much further and control the high more 🙏👌👍

(Slight high jack)

Semi-Recently I’ve been having a problem where my high from my mighty has been feeling a lot faster almost racey kind of high, I had previous owned it for around 9 months with no problem with the type of high or any problem at all.

I took one hit of a friends cart and idk why or what it could have been without guess work but a i had a small anxiety attack (which has never happened before on joints or vape) then calmed down after about 2 hours

Ever since the high from my vape has felt off and different, I smoked a joint for new years and it brought back how smoking should feel with either device.

Any advice?

When you say cart I’m assuming a 510 threaded one?

Yeah a 510

Depending on what strength your green is. It’s never going to be on the THC level of what’s in 510 carts. These carts can be 90+ easy THC level when green can very massively. Someone will correct me if I’m wrong but can as low as you want it to be within reason like CBD green up to mid 30%. So a massive difference in the THC levels as those carts can hit hard. I’ve seen veterans floored due to hitting them hard after being warned lol 😂

If it was live resin in it then again very potent levels of THC compared to green.

Hope that kind of helps

I have a vape that cost 200 pound, I've tried it and just don't get high off it. I still have the vape and it's a great for tasting flavour etc. but I just wanna get high.

I knew a few mates that are the same. I found that if you persevere and know that you’re not going to get that instant hit you do from combustion. The stone I get now I feel is far better and lasts longer.

The advice I was given is. Do you really want a joint or is it the nicotine you’re after? Then you’re like WTF is the point in having a fag might as well roll a joint 🤷‍♂️ that’s when I was burning though my gear and something had to give as we all have a budget. Whatever that my be.

No fags more cash for cannabis 👌

What vape did you get?

thread thief: can anyone recommend a good-enough budget dry herb vape?

used to have a gas one (nightmare). portable, but also with main power option my only preference

Get on a well known 2nd hand site and there is a few for sale.

I’ve checked lol 😂

Without knowing what you want to spend it’s an open ended question

I seen mighty ect at around the £100 plus mark / pax ect

I had a flowermate as a hand me down but that was gash and would not recommend that for your green.

Tried one years ago just didn’t cut it for me but looking at this thread they have got a lot better might have to try again 😂😮‍💨

Definitely been big improvements over the years, you've so many options now!

Think the Dynavap though a bubbler is the best tasting, smoothest way I've enjoyed hash, the flavours are so much more pronounced & cleaner compared to smoking!

Was enjoying a bit of the England stamp in it last night 👌

I got a xmax Qomo for Christmas of my pal been spanking the lemon kush hash rosin in it really nice just the battery on them doesn’t last that long but I’ve found it a lot better than a rig and blow torch nice and simple put a hit in the bowl and press the button👌😮‍💨

Nice, how is the Qomo? The dry herb vape xmax do is brilliant, v3 pro I believe. Erigs are bloody brilliant, other than battery they are so convenient, got the core 2.0 myself 👍

Will have to check out the rosin 👀🤤

Good man.

I used the globe the other night at my mates and like you say. Just lovely. If you get the rig stand 👌

But again adding more spending 🤦

I got a pax last year with my bonus for from work and it’s great. tret my self to a dynavap m for Christmas and the hit that little thing gives you is fantastic.
Due this years bonus shortly so I’m looking at a mighty although I’ve heard rumours the Hydrology9 is the next big thing so I’ll be doing some research first ha

Can’t really add to what has been said. All top drawer recommendations and I’m only at the start of my vape apparatus collection stage (Aye thanks for that polly lol) what’s the proper medical name for the syndrome??

I’m on the dynavap and IH I like it because of how good I find it with hash also.

2 tips

One for green and one for my solid 👌

Dynavap is just incredible. I didn't last very long not buying accessories, ended up getting the bb9 stem & DIY kit, so have two full vapes & having a go at carving/sanding my own stem 😂

Already massively cut down on how many joints I smoke and that wasn't intentional!

Its so nice for hash 🤤👌

Oh man totally agree.

BB9 👌

The DIY kit sounds like hard work lol 😂 but you’re right man. You could spend a fortune 🤦‍♂️

You got a heater yet ?

No heater just yet, but did get a single flame torch & that surprised me how much of a difference it can make!

Which IH have you got yourself?

Aye some difference with the change on lighter. I fell that you get more control over how fast or slow you want the click at

Well funny you say that as I have done ok off a certain 2nd hand place. I got a UFO

Then I seen a job lot with an Orion V2 bb9, M 2019 both with tips one Ti and one with a low temp cap. Which I tend to use on my better gear with the BB9 and the Ti tip for hash.

Definitely, gives you much more control with the single flame. But I still quite like the triple flame, heats up super quick & produces really cool/smooth vapor.

Ooo I do like the look of the UFO, how many heat cycles do you tend to get from one charge?

Nice, I did have a look on gumtree but nothing local! Went with the bb9 in pink since it was cheaper 😂

I seen an aspire one last night but not sure if it’s still there.

The UFO I like and not sure the exact amount of cycles but it lasts me most on the night but it can also be used charging.

I got both of mine sent as it was not local

As long as it does the damage who cares about the colour. Bargains rain supreme 👌

I'm not going to look, I don't need the temptation 😂

Ahh that is good, one concern I did have was the batteries dying/loosing capacity but if you can use pass through charging that's great 🤔

Only on the UFO the Orion you can't

I can't help it! Like this site lol

I’m looking at the UFO I agree a heavy torch heats up too quick more chance of combustion ha to be honest the best way I’ve found with a flame is this ha

Heat the vap up with the same flame I do my morning coffee ha best way to start your morning

Agreed but the heater gives me the I need to be quite ninja 🥷 dyna

Plus the missies doesn’t mind when the kids are in bed using it. Previously it would be a pain when she’s trying to watch some pish on the TV and having to turn it up as all she can hear is my lighter torch (I was trying to think 🤔 how would you type that noise 🤷‍♂️) suggestions on a postcard

Love it.

Best wake and bake I’ve seen posted 👏👏👏👏

I love the ufo and not sure if I prefer it to the Orion and it’s nearly half the price.

Ye I’m definitely getting a heater I prefer the manual vapes to the battery ones especially with hash, unless anyone has any tips for pax 3 with hash. I use concentrate with cotton bacon in it works fine I don’t feel I’m getting the best out of it

Get yourself a coil king AIO recommended by Mr DeadRabb1t and a donation by Polly. Simple to use and for me a game changer. As I never really used concentrate unless I was at my mates because of the glass aspect (I can’t have nice things kicking about) I like to limit my concentrate use because it can fuck your tolerance right up. I’ve seen it with mates. They end up not enjoying flower. The best aspect that I find with it is that with glass you need to smash 💥 the full dab but with the king you can have a few blasts and put it down and go back to it.

I like stuff separate. I got all my dyna gear 2nd hand 🖐️ and one was a job lot

M 2020 with green sometimes with the BB9 and low temp cap. I leave that for my best green

M 2019 Ti tip and cotton bacon for my hash

Cool king for my concentrate.

I’ll look into it was thinking of a dab pen next ha at the minuet my favourite the dynavap with hash the hit is fantastic compared to pax haven’t used it for ages now. is the dynacoil worth it

Yes it took a while to get the right consistency ground up for vaping but dried chamomile and flower in a pax is heavenly.

I also use vape cotton to vape hash and wax in the pax 2

It's much better than the tiny pax oven you pay a fortune for, which tends to give dry hits and can only vape small micro doses of solid at a time.

I learned this the hard way by shelling out 😗

Vaping keeps me high and active - Combustion coughing and spluttering.

Coughing up more on weed and tobacco is insane also

I’ve got a volcano 🌋 hybrid desktop vape with the XL balloons 🎈 and the whip it’s got a phone app as well to control temperatures and session times 😊 it’s great for vaping bud, kief, hash or concentrates and can get all the terpenes from the tasty 😋 strains on LB 😋 it’s great too as the AVB it leaves us potent and can be used for either capsules or edibles so not too much waste 😊

Nice 👌 got a good old EQ for a desk top that gets dusted off every now and then when I’m in the mood for a nice sandwich 🥪

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE TRAIN CJJJJJ!!!!!

First bioshock! “Would you kindly...” :D

This ^^ absolutely the best ever imho

This. Fantastic game.

Monkey Island ftw

Lechucks revenge..

Yes!

Shenmue on the Sega Dreamcast, written directed and produced by Japanese genius Yu Suzuki. Beautiful and way ahead of it's time.
A teenth of Afghan black, Ericsson T18 on silent, while i roamed the streets of Japan. Those were the days!

Have you played the new Shenmue? Shenmue 3 I think? I played a load of the original on Dreamcast back in the day and bought the remastered version for PS4 that had 1&2 on it (wasn't as good as I remembered) intresting to know if 3 is any good.

Old School- I used to love the original Silent Hill on Playstation, thought that was a really clever game. Also MYST.

Silent hill for sure, was Syked for new one coming out with Kojima onboard but alas, it wasn’t to be

Loads of rumors about a reboot for the series but I'm not sure I even want it if Yamaoka isn't onboard. Kojima's take would've been interesting, though. Shame we never got more than a demo.

A new dead space or rebuffed one would be epic

I assume this is an old post but if you haven’t already check out The Callisto Protocol!!! From the creators of dead space, looks like top tier sci fi horror and is set for release at the end of 2022 (although will probably be delayed until next year, you know how these things go lol)

Yeah, it looks awesome

Bloody loved Silent Hill. Creepy AF. Used the machine's limitations really well by clouding the streets with an eerie fog. I still recall hearing the footsteps of those fucked-up things but not be able to see them. Remember the cut-away sequence when the nurse staggered towards you?

Liked witcher 3 storyline.

Bit like game of thrones, but mainly just addicted to gwent.

100% the witcher. Managed to get every gwent card aswell even when you could very easily miss a few card through wrong decisions.

a cultured bigga appreciates the classics

Wow! I totally forgot about LSL. I bloody loved all the Sierra adventure games when I was but a young lad.

The last of us. For me nothing even comes close. Played it about 10 times through now.

For me Heavy Rain really stands out, also Shenmue 2 and LA Noir, all so far ahead of their time.

Did you ever get to play The Taxidermist dlc in Heavy Rain?

No sadly not, you? If so worth it?

Yeah, it's amazing. So atmospheric. Only problem was, it was supposed to be a two or three part dlc but the creator gave up on it after the first one so it never got finished. As far as I know he gave up on making video games after that. If you can get hold of the first part tho, I'd highly recommend it

Evil within or hitman, which is an ongoing plot over a number of years. Quantum break.

There are so many...

Witcher 3 has to be up there with the best along with all 3 bioshock games. Halo 1-3 & the latest god of war. Here hoping cyberpunk 2077 can join them too!

have you tried cyberpunk 2077 since the fixes? it surely belongs on this list

GTA

Metal Gear Solid on the PSone blew my mind, the other MGS got a bit preachy but the PSone version had everything, great game play, great stelf sections, good action sequences etc etc I still think about the bit where Psycho Mantis moves your controller, freaked me out.

GTA SA
I loved bringing big smoke down but was some years ago now.

DOOM 2016. Absolute masterpiece!

GTA 4, more recently Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of us was also pretty epic, I’m looking forward to part 2.

Bioshock 1 was drippingly beautiful and draws you in. Dark room, good thumping surround sound cranked up, roll a few fattys. Great replay capability with the good or bad decisions and the array of different weapons and potions. One of the finest pieces of electronic entertainment to this day, including films.
Noteables: Deus ex, last of us, elder scrolls,Halo 1.
Its when you play them as well i think. There are more advanced games now, better ai, graphics etc, but such a wow factor for me at the time when i was a fanatic.

Metro Exodus is pretty intense. I agree, Bioshock Infinite was pretty awesome. Saying that Bioshock 1+2 were pretty raw. Best plot ever, though? Has to be 'The Secret of Monkey Island 2'.

Like many others, 'last of us' will always stay in the mind and I'm eager to play no2.
So many others worthy of note, but I'm also big fan of Horizon on ps4, such an excellent story and characters and possibly my fave of this gen.

Honorable shout out to 'Days Gone' which never got the praise it deserved imo.

I started playing “Days gone” when it came out on free to play. I would’ve paid for it if I’d have known it was that good! I’m hooked and I never thought I would be.

Max Payne 2: Fall of Max Payne - I like that noiresque atmosphere, the music, the over the top melancholic atmosphere... It harmonised well with my mood back then...

What did you think of Max Payne 3?

Anything from the dragon quest series, elder scrolls oblivion. Dragon age origins.

GOLDENEYE on the old Nintendo 64 ;)

Shenmue 1 and 2. It was special.

Life Is Strange

It really shows how the slightest thing can completely change the reality you get stuck in

It makes you contemplate the cause and effect that lead to living in your current reality and how fragile everything we perceive is

Ain't played the game in years but I still fell so emotionally connected to it

Xenoblade Chronicles for me. I love good RPGs and this story was kinda unique and on top of that the Gameplay was really fun too. Sadly the follow up Games were kinda meh...

Borderlands is life

I mean... Mass effect. Always. Well, not Andromeda. Fuck Andromeda.
