Well I am dejected to say the least. Yesterday the wife I am burned through 2 grams of expensive ass concentrastes from the dispensary and I can't get one damn hit that even gets close to getting me high. Wife gets high... I dont. I got high smoking $12 gram of Coumbian but not GG#4 concentrate. WTF!!!. I have a quartz nail, I have a titanium nail, I've hit them perfect in the past with the outer-space buzz that comes with it. What is the f is going on. I'm ready to throw all this shit against the wall.

Not stupid by any stretch... published author in the computer field. The only think I can think of not is buying a standalone wax maxter or something everyone knows works well from 7th floor or some some contratraption with the temp coil. controller. Any suggestions or am I just lacking the skillset to get this crap working. Humbled severely ATM.

I have a friend that sends me bud from CO all the time, some is ok, but most is just not there. I am talking a number of strains, Durban Poison, Train-wreak and others. I get much higher from my grows and the taste is there also. I think the dispensary buds are too dried out.

True so true. ‍

I’m sure it’s just the way you’re hitting it @SlyTown420 hang in there bud.

LOL! It reminds me of fishing with MY Grandpa...
He’d be catching one after the other and we’d be skunked...all the time! When we’d ask why he’d say, “you must not be liv’n right...try holding your mouth different.” :cheesygrinsmiley:

Lol that's an oldie but goodie.

My grandfather was an excellent fisherman. When I was younger I'd ask where they were bitin' (we had lots of honey holes".) He'd tell me sometimes, but other times he'd just say "In the lake"...

I grew up fishing the Ohio river, I’m lucky to have known so many old river rats that lived on the river all their lives.

Wrong rig?

Maybe I posted the wrong “rig” LOL... :laughtwo:

I like to use this with a blowtorch to heat it up.
These are simple and very effective. I hit with one side, roll it 180* and hit with the other side. It’s tilted slightly (45 degrees) so you suck in the vapor. If you go face down in the dab, you’ll snuff out the heat and block the air flow. That’s my experience... I’ll let the red metal fade and then hit while it’s hot (makes more vapor for me = less hits).
I’ve been meaning to find a bong attachment.
If you can’t blast off with this, your problem is the squeeze.
Travel friendly also.

I did the same at first. I had to start timing how long I heat the banger with the torch (25 seconds) and then restart the timer for the cool down (1 minute 15 seconds). When using my dab rig that’s what I do every time now. When I use the nectar collector I heat the tip red then wait 15-20 seconds before hitting. I think every rig is similar but different. We just need to figure it out. Extremely high temp Rosin dabs can choke the most experienced toker. Tastes like fish!

...and then you let it cool too much. You watch the oil melt while you’re sucking your eyeballs into your skull and get no hit... fuck me!

I'd do that as well but I don't have enough material at the moment to test and burn through to junk some and find optimal temps for the other.

One of these temperature controlled coils in either the tip of a nectar collector, or the container you use would probably do it. I'd wrap the coil around a ceramic or pyrex form for stability. The problem if you used a wick would be a blend of flavors when you switched strains.

RDA - Can We Use One for Rosin?

I've never seen a coil like that, just the usual.

BobbyZ said:
Maybe a vape rig for consistency. How is your dab laid out?
I’ve wondered if it degrades the THC when you hit it out of a glob rather than spread out. I’ve been hitting out of those silicon round containers (glob). GT lays his out on a silicon mat where it’s more spread out.
I guess I’m wanting to know if it degrades when it melts and bubbles at such a high temp.

I used to pre-hreat the titanium or quartz, wrist test it, then dab. Then I started placing the material in the nail and low temp dabbing, let it smoke a little and flip the carb cap.

Grandpa Tokin said:
I would imagine that the bubbled stuff would decarb, but not sure if it’s degraded right away. Good question. I don’t know the answer.

However it gets degraded, that is my method.

I hate that! I wonder if you got an old batch... Do they offer a replacement for ineffective meds? I’d let them know so they could check their stock and hopefully be thankful that a customer is helping them keep their products top notch.
I ran into the same issue with those preloaded vape pens. I could barely catch a buzz.

No replacements.

BobbyZ said:
Biggest (20 ton) cheapest rig on the market in my opinion... Total was $500(us). Without making any parts. You could make it slightly cheaper if you don’t do the “caged” plates. I went with the caged to get perfect alignment.
Harbor Freight 20 ton press - sale & tax- $150
Dabpress caged plates -sale- $350

Nothing beats fresh squeeze.

I'm getting that if I can ever figure out how to hit a f'ing dab right again.

They are too dry. But MedMen ain't refunding shit.

It's a DIY Alien coil.

The retail environment is a mixed bag. I've had out-freaking-standing product in DC delivered to me, at reasonable prices.

The larger market shops tend to have 'sales' that are popular, but their sales for a reason, might be cut, age, whatever.

The medical market weed in vegas was not even reg, I've tossed shit moister than what they were selling. Flame on. This shit you could smush in your fingers no grinder needed.

I've had both good and bad in Co over the years. But stock the F up before spring break.

Nothing from OK, OR, WA, MA yet. I bet Mi picks up shit quick.
