I dont get it, he said the same sentence again.

Great leader has mandated all must be implanted with explosive chip at base of the spine. The AM radio sometimes acts as a secondary proximity kill switch.

Thats a very ideal picture of a corpse thats been buried in the ground without a coffin that deep. Must have used one hell of an embalmer.

Also yeah me and the family still miss and talk about the dead pets. You never forget your loved ones and keep the memories alive.

I didn’t know gold digger was perojatorive, I thought it was just the common name given for that kind of behavior.

Human beings at base are emotionally complex, greedy, self- interested horny apes driven by comfort and convinence. Theres no shame in acknowledging less virtuous parts of our animalistic nature and addressing their manifestions of behavior in ourselves and others honestly.

Does it suck that some people are materialistic? Yes, but I dont shame them for it. That comes from part instinctual nature and part of social conditioning for hierarchical society. Theres plenty of cultures where marriage for political and financial power plays is completely publically normalized. Just not the one where I or presumably OP come from.

I agree that a 65 year old person being with a 25 year old person introduces a yuck factor but an conventionally named ‘prerogative’ for that behavior doesn’t come to mind especially not when I wrote the comment. Would ‘Youth-digger’ be appropriate?

You’ll both have lots of time to get used to the idea. Sorry to hear that your daughter turned into a gold digger marrying out of financial convinence instead of love. Its kind of unsavory and understandable why its causing some cognitive dissonance. But well thats the kind of thing our society incentivises and she’s an adult who can make her own choices. Its hard to judge too hard. Hope the husband is alright personality wise and even if this is dark to say, you can take some solice in that statistically speaking its probably not going to last too long and she will probably inherit some assets. If it all burns down it will be a hard but good lesson in not being with people just to extract value out of them.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my stuff and comment schmidt. Nice xq2 always a fun time rocking the good old cyclone/conneseur bowl and bag :)

I like bags for the experience. However its not a method I reach for often anymore. The vapor gets stale tasting quick by the time you get done filling a big bag a lot of the the terps and cannabinoid oil has been lost condensated back onto the inside of bag.

Then the bag itself gets a little stale tasting after a few uses affecting flavor even more. Then you have to buy more bags to replace stale dirty bag, and go through a process of redoing the balloon rubber bands holding the glass insert.

The glass orb offers the same kind of visual appeal of watching the vapor fill a thing to the point of milking it then ripping the dense vapor all at once. The difference is when it inevitably gets dirty inside you can just spray it down with alcohol and rinse with water at the sink.

The omega wand kits from ddave are game changers. I was unsatisfied with the stock cyclone /conesseuir bowl+ whip. I didn’t like all the airflow that made the vapor feel whispy, I didnt like how big the bowls were which always cooked herb unevenly, I didnt like how high the herb sits above the heater which took minutes to fully extract anything. The stock EQ was mid easily beat out in power by a simple dynavap.

The omega wand and adapters turned it into a top tier one hitter rig. Think elbow packing with much better extraction able to get all the vapor from a bowl in a single hit. Think being able to milk a small bag the size of the orb using a tiny bit of herb stretching out your grinder of expensive ganja out crazy amounts.

The goo roo hookah mouthpiece is a really really nice luxury if you are a whip user. The teeny little glass mouthpieces sent by arizer never felt luxurious to use or pleasant hold in the hand. It was a very basic functional restricted airflow mouthpiece.

The goo-roo mouthpiece is an absolute unit of glass. It feels great to hold in the hand and hit out of. I like it a lot easy recommend to any eq/xq2 owner who likes the whip.

The ruby balls are the final piece of the puzzle for the ddave adapters. Adding the balls makes the entire bowl cook evenly all the way through. Every watt of power the EQ can consume gets put to use heating up the balls it literally puts all possible power into extracting the herb completely and quickly. I’m convinced the only way to get better extraction would be an actual ball vape with beefy PID and injection chamber eating hundreds of watts.

Someone’s told me before after seeing my cleaning sesh it was too much work and I was better off just smoking lol. Well I figure its better to get the pieces gunked than my lungs. All the parts come together to realise my ideal extraction situation. The added maintenance is the trade off to maximizing performance kinda like a sports car.

Do I have problems with combusting the flower? Not anymore, but I used to. It required trial error and experience to dial in the right temps.

My perspective has always been that I want to extract all the vapor possible from flower. And the color of the herb tells you how much vapor is left to be extracted.

That means high temps and riding it right to the point just before combustion where the flower turns pitch black . My ideal extraction has the herb looking completely black cooked evenly all the way through.

Getting to that point with any arrangement of equipment takes experimentation to find ideal temp zones. During the experimentation phase combustion is likely, but after finding the sweet zone and some experience to lock it in theres basically no chance of combustion.

If you combust, dial it down 15 - 20 degrees f and try again. I settled in using the omega wands and cyclone/conesseuir bowl at 428F/220C/493.15K any point beyond that risk combustion if theres too much airflow.

Once I got ruby balls over the ceramic heater with ddave adapters, dialing in the temp became entirely a question of how many balls to add if I combusted I added 5-8 balls and tried again. Setting device to max and Covering the ceramic heater core with 1 layer of 3mm ruby is enough to eliminate combustion potential.

Anyways sorry for long 5 paragraph essay hope this helped inform you.

Since we are talking hypotheticals, an ideal scenario would be a nearly completely renewables approach where each household is its own self contained energy production center equippef with solar arrays, wind turbines, thermoelectric generators. Various means of production. And have either propane or diesel generator as a backup. You know your average overall watt-hour usage for the household and try to have enough battery capacity to satisfy it for a week or two of bad weather.

Most household electrical wiring is redone for DC transmission and all consumer appliances possible are run straight on DC for optimal efficency. Energy efficent heat pumps for cooling and heating. energy efficent cooking appliances like induction heaters. Electric cars that act as backup battery banks would be awesome.

Industrial zones would be much harder as you need huge solar panel or wind turbine arrays to get the megawatt and gigawatts needed to run a factory. Most factories are decades old running on the most energy ineffient assembly lines you can think of. A energy mandate that calculated and taxed total energy efficency compared to national average for factory size and the would be a start.

Humanity simply does not “stop” because we go through an energy crisis. We did fine enough before the industrial revoltion and renewables + energy efficent consumer devices have improved a bunch. The economy would tank and what renewable energy made would be a premium commodity and the system would adapt to use it best as possible. But things would go on.

I appreciate it thanks for taking a look. The setup took a lot of work and creative thinking over the year slowly understanding what was needed and sourcing the aftermarket parts to get it extracting real nice. The extremeq is an excellent desktop vape done dirty by its stock parts.

I prefer using the orb dry more I like watching the turbulent vapor swirls completely fill up the piece. I do use water in it too when in the mood for it.

Water is good when you are vaping a lot and need some moisture to not get a dry throat. But it gets murky, starts to taste bad and contributes to reclaim deposits forming on the inner glass I think. It filters out some of the plant oils you want in the vapor.

I was absolutely surprised at how much vapor was produced with such little herb. The middle bowl here Is the one used in the video like maybe .05-.1 g?

If I had put the big 18mm omega wand bowl in there it would have really milked up the glass quick lol.

This setup is a microdosing dream!

Thank you! I added a video link to the description if you wanted to see it in action.

The glass orb is easy to clean, the pieces that insert into the vaporizer need cleaning from time to time. The metal omega wand extraction device works best with some melted beeswax covering it so it doesn’t stick into the glass adapters it inserts into. It uses metal bowl screens which need cleaning.

Thank you for the reply! The glass orb doesn’t take falls very well its a relatively fragile piece. However its cheap enough to replace from time to time.

The vaporizer itself requires no maintenance. The adapters and stuff inserted into it needs cleaning after awhile.

Good attetion to detail. I have ruby balls directly above the heater so it behaves more like a ball vape. They balance things out while improving the extraction.

You are welcome. Im happy if my writings can inform a few people from time to time. Yes thats absolutely what it means if you read the fine print of ecosia they tell you how they collect your data including IP address+ search terms and share it with google and Microsoft’s ad network to show you ads through ecosia. So your data is still coming back google and Microsoft to be sold to the highest bidder. Everyones gotta get a cut profititing off your data, except for you. At least a small bit of that profit goes to the trees I guess.

Here’s my guide to alternative search engines that discusses all the different search engines and how they differ under the hood. I wrote it to be understandable to everyone not just tech nerds.

Ads aren’t a thing in my life. On the off day I have to visit someone who lives with ads and suffer through one or two I tough it out, or look at my phone, or do something different.

I don’t watch live TV. I dont pay for any subscription services except phone service and internet data. I watch YouTube content that has the ads stripped out. I download youtube videos that get often rewatched to hard drive. For movies I buy DVD that can have the drm stripped out.

I play good video games preferably drm free (steam is the one service I can’t really give up easy, but it has offline mode and the deck so praise gaben!). I read e-books that are drm free. I have a mp3 player downloaded with all my music drm free.

The better question is, why are you willing to live with ads at all? Assuming you are in control of your living situation and have the power change whats shown on tv or played through speakers.

Why would you tolerate being constantly bombarded with manipulative messaging by companies, political canpaigns, and all the other powerful groups who want to affect he masses for their benefit?

Why is it so hard just say no? To give up the forms of toxic entertainment delivery? Why can’t you sacrifice ease and convinence and familiarity to regain some control overhow your attention is spent during free time?

If you like something, buy it and really take the steps to own it physically.

The digital manifestation of the ghost in the machine. It likes playing with the bits that line occupies when you aren’t looking. Don’t touch its line.

I agree that oil capsules are the way to go for dosing precision and general healthiness. I like oil caps the most out of all edibles simply because you can lock in a approximate amount needed to get you medicated. Not requiring further cooking or excess calories is a bonus.

To answer your question about dosing vapor, I can give some insight as a vaping nerd.

Just to be clear I mean dry herb vaping where the raw cannabis flower is baked at a temperature hot enough to vaporize the plant oil with all the good cannabinoids but not hot enough to burn or combust the flower. This method is much cleaner than combustion smoking while avoiding the possible synthetic additives in cartridge vapes.

When it comes to vaping theres two paths users tend to head down. One common path is that you just quit combustion smoking. You miss it and want to emulate the experience of smoking as closely as possible.

Big milky vapor clouds filling your regular sized bongs and exiting your lungs in a huge rip. This path leads towards the natural conclusion of expensive ball vapes and can easily burn through zips a week. You don’t care because you can afford it or grow your own.

More experienced vapor heads realize another path. It turns out you don’t actually need all that much vapor to get baked, especially with good flower or basic tolerance management.

So you go for maximizing your herb efficency. Try to get every bit of vapor out of a very small amount of herb.

This is where some people start to actually care about dosing. Exactly how much vapor does .05 g worth of bud produce? Exactly how many .Xg’s does it take to get you where you need to be?

This path of microdose vaping is most commonly followed by half bowl dynavap users, but there are many microdosing options.

Here are three different bowl sized.

I can’t tell you exact numbers but spitballing the biggest bowl probably holds .15-.20g, the middle one holds .10g and the teeny tiny one .05gs. How these get used depends on flower quality.

If I’m vaporizing top tier ganja Its easy to get medicated and I want to stretch it out with the small or middle bowl sizes. If I’m vaporizing lots of cheap mid or shake I’m going for the big bowl.

It also somewhat depends on if I’m wanting to run the vapor through a water piece that day. The open air of the big bowl makes pulling through water much easier on the lungs.

If your device happens to be 18-20v you can get a usbc-pd laptop connector with a dc barrel jack output. It has the USBC-PD chip built into it to tell the charger to output 20v and you can probably hunt down barrel adapter bits. Your regular 65-100w rated usbc cord plugs in like anything else.

The other voltages are tough theres not really a consumer market for 15v or 9v specific usbcPD to barrel things.

Hey entropicdrift good question. Those kinds of lanterns are expensive and complicated electronics with a definitive life expectancy. The lantern you linked is over 20$ for a single unit.

Most of those kinds of lanterns use a non replaceable rechargeable lithium battery built inside it that will only last about 500 charge cycles give or take before degrading. That is, if you are lucky and one of the other cheap mass produced quickly assembled electrical components doesn’t fry first.

In the long term I deem its more cost efficient to take a page from the home lighting industry. Simply create a light fixture with easily and cheaply replaceable bulbs. A pack of 4 12v-24v bulbs cost less than that lantern and I like the warm lighting.

Its also a simple matter to convert any lamp fixture into one that can interface with my power system. Cut off the AC plug and replace it with a male cigarette plug. The trick is knowing thst you have to buy the right kinds of bulbs.

So when the 12v led bulbs do eventually burn out its a cheap single 5$ bulb that and a minute to replace it. I would rather put a broken bulb than yet another expensive lantern in the landfill.

Apotential benefit if I choose to power it with usbc-pd instead is variable dimmable lighting based on voltage level if the bulb is 12-24v.

Hey aubeynarf think you are talking about something like this.

Its a special usbc-pd to 5.5x2.5 barrel jack with manually selectable voltage. You just plug it into a pd charger and select the voltage of the device. The rest is finding a barrel plug to barrel plug adapter that plugs into your device. Hope this helps.
