Hello all, about 4 years ago, I bought an Arizer Air Max. It was my first dry herb vaporizer, and honestly I love the thing. It's my preferred method of consuming cannabis.

It's even still holding up quite well, but it has become the only way my entire household gets high, and I was hoping to buy something else that's just mine, and gift the old vape to my partner.

I originally chose Arizer because I'm a bit paranoid when it comes to air paths. And the all glass air path is awesome. I am considering getting a Go SRT. It's mostly just new and different. I like the big screen and customization. I like the magnetic cover (our plastic one broke off on the air max). I'm not particularly interested in the pod system. Maybe I'd be into it, but the air max is already kind of fiddly as it is.

The one thing that gives me pause, is it appears the bowls may be a little smaller. But I can't find anything to confirm that.

Has anyone used both? Any pros/cons?

@vaporents Got my Firewood 11 with the free speedloader today. On the deck with some Blueberry Muffin. #vaporents #dryherb #cannabis #fuckcombustion

Two weeks ago, I attempted to get in contact with the fuckcombustion.com forum admin and despite two promising leads, I have received no updates, messages or timelines.

It was my hope that I could hand this off to the admin or otherwise work with his contacts. Subsequent attempts to establish contact have not been successful.

Approximately 6 weeks ago the forums went down. We have no idea what's involved in recovery or how long it will take.

Though many will be happy to hear this news, there are many, including myself that are conflicted. This is the community's archive, I wanted to provide to the original team to steward but have been unable to achieve that.

While waiting for communications, I reduced the size and modernized the archive to provide a static site based on the original but with search and other minor features.

I've registered a new domain to keep distanced from other projects of mine. I'm happy to redirect or completely disable if/when fuckcombustion.com comes back.

A torrent or GitHub repository are in consideration.

Keep in mind, a lot of the content in this mirror is still hosted on 3rd parties (imgur, streamable, youtube, imgbb, etc.), it's an incomplete and not a fully cloned mirror.

@vaporents anyone still posting here? Checking in via Mastadon. Nice banner photo. Sticky Brick OG and is that a grasshopper? #fuckcombustion #vaporents

I’ve owned 3 Arizer Airs. The original with no screen, and two Air 2s with the OLED screen. All of them have failed after 2-3 years with “Error 5”. I tried fixing them but never got anywhere. I took them apart, cleaned them, shook them around, introduced percussive maintenance, and all other advice I found on forums and the other site.

At this point I’m done with Arizer. This is a design flaw that hasn’t been addressed. I want something that lasts. I loved the simplicity and low maintenance of the Arizer product line. I like removable batteries. Vapour quality was also neat.

What should I replace this with?

Bonus:

Previous tip:

I got the ti helix tip sunset color to finally complete my H2. Wow is this thing a huge improvent in several ways. Airflow is greatly increased which I immediately noticed. The m+ tip was restrictive comparatively.

The speed to heat with induction heater is faster fue to lower thermal mass of titanium and the helix being machined to be the lightest weight wise. This means the tip allows for more efficient use of energy for more heat cycles per battery charge.

I like the helical twisty swirlies. The color was purple not reddish orange so I was surprised and thought they sent the wrong thing! It seems any amount of finger oil turns it from light purple to sunset tan orange. I think that's bitching I love color changing stuff and purple is my favorite color so I was happy regardless.

The holes didnt have noticsble burrs thats what I was worried about. It was machined to within my expectations, ran it through some ultrasonic alcohol anyways before use as is good practice.

Hey everyone,

I've been seeing the Tornado mentioned in various places and wanted to ask for your opinions. Are any of you thinking of copping one?

Analog devices are very attractive to me. While I like the fact that devices like the UniDyn look like a tiny stick, I am a huge proponent for overengineered functionality than aesthetic (to an extent!)

USBC-PD is a pretty awesome standard for powering stuff in 2025. Many devices can easily be powered by a 65-100w charger and equivalent USBC-pd cord. The adapter used for the eq is a 18-20v usbc-PD to 5.5x2.1mm barrel plug connector usually advertised for laptops. I have a PD charger for 12v car batteries it acts as a small dc-dc converter that runs off my solar system

What do you do to turn your stuff into stash? The best method I found so far has been slow cooking in coconut oil and turning it to pill caps. I follow this guide from high times. Skipping the decarb step obviously.(video)(text)

::: spoiler Full text recipe Preparation Time: 8 hours

Equipment: Oven, Crock-Pot, Spray Bottle

Secret Weapon: Everclear Alcohol

Our first method was developed by scientist Tamar Wise, CSO at Nutrawerx, a cannabinoid nutraceutical company. Tamar’s method is unique because it uses Everclear alcohol to help break down the cellulose in the plant material, helping cannabinoids to migrate into the lipids.

First, toast the cannabis trim in the oven at 240ºF for an hour, before cooling and spraying with Everclear alcohol. As soon as the alcohol hits the decarbed flowers, an intense toasty cannabis smell is released, making your kitchen very fragrant.

Simmer the 1/2 ounce of decarbed trim in 8 oz. of clarified butter in a Crock-Pot for 6 hours, stirring frequently, before removing and straining. I measured the temperature of the Crock-Pot at various points through the process, seeing it climb from 185ºF to 240ºF on the low setting. The cannabis becomes incredibly crisp after this process, and it smells and tastes rather strong.

Learn the Recipe: Scientific Cannabutter

Unique for using Everclear alcohol to help break down the plant matter and allow cannabinoids to escape, this method was developed by cannabinoid scientist Tamar Wise. Using common household equipment and the ever-popular Crock-Pot makes it simple to create cannabutter overnight. Watch Tamar create her infusions for a gourmet dinner hosted at Hunter S. Thompson’s house!

Ingredients:

1/2 oz. flowers 1 oz. Everclear in a spray bottle 8 oz. clarified butter

1. Preheat oven to 240ºF.

2. Grind your flowers down in a blender or food processor. Spread ground flower evenly on bottom of a sheet pan and place in middle of oven.

3. Bake for an hour, stirring once halfway through. Make sure the flower stays evenly spread out.

4. Take pan out of oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place some Everclear in a spray bottle, and spray a fine mist of alcohol all over the toasted flower. This step helps break down the cellulose slightly, allowing for a less green infusion color. If you don’t have a spray bottle you can use a teaspoon and sprinkle the Everclear on the cannabis flowers while stirring with a spoon.

5. Let flowers sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, begin melting your butter over low heat.

Since we have already decarboxylated, the butter only needs to be hot enough to extract cannabinoids. A slow simmer is good. Spoon the flower into the butter and stir.  Extract using a Crock-Pot set on low for 6 hours and stir every hour or so to prevent burning.

1. Once your infusion is done, turn off heat and let the cannabutter cool down for at least 20 minutes.

2. Line a metal strainer with cheesecloth. Pour butter through the cheesecloth and use a spoon to squeeze all the infused cannabutter out.

3. Now your cannabutter is ready to use in recipes! Keep it in the fridge and use within two weeks. :::

Its a stem for the arizer portable vaporizer series. Been wanting one of these for over a year now. decided to finally indulge this VAS for 420.

The four little holes in glass filters that came with the arizer just so damn restrictive. The mesh screen of eds stem promises t9 have much more airflow. I'm curious if the metal body helps with conduction.

Ive always heard vapor nerds talk about tasting the wood, I wonder if its true. This is cocobolo. The picture was full dark but the one I got is half dark wood half light wood, stamping on light side. I appreciate the duality, its fine. For some reason my last piece the rosium m7xl also had this coloration duality. Perhaps the universe is trying to send a message?

The early access pre-order for the full titanium model only will start this month and ship before the end of May. The accessories won’t be available yet. You can sign up for the newsletter to get notified. 

The release model pre-order, along with a new stock of Reloads, is expected to start in June, with shipping beginning shortly after.

This is a favorite sesh setup of mine. It may be THE favorite honestly but dont tell that to my other sesh children they need to know I love them equal lol.

The EQ/vtower Is an underrated desktop vape. Highly affordable, energy efficient, simple in design, and fantastic build quality. Will stay on forever if you want.

The bowls it comes with are the weak link. It really needs to be modded with aftermarket parts for best performance.

Vape balls better collect and distribute heat across the herb . this allows for even cooking and a distinct conduction feeling draw over its stock airy convection feel.

The ddave one hitter is pretty much the perfect size for a single One Hit Extraction(OHE). Its about 0.05g per dome pack. The stainless steel version really soaks in the heat which helps conduction where herb touches dome walls I feel.

The black rubber fitting to sidecar is dynavap rubber tip.

Speaking of, sidecar is perfect amount of water. You only want just enough to introduce moisture to help throat dry feel.

I never made an animated GIF before thought this would be a fun starter project. A little jittery in places but came out how I wanted it to more or less.

I save up a 50ml shot glass full of ABV and dump it all into a small blender quart sized smoothie when the time comes.

Strawberry yogurt, fresh strawberry, frozen banana, vanilla icecream, and a scoop of peanut butter, and your prefered kind of milk. These ingredients do nicely to mask the ABV taste and get the liquid slosh down the gullet easy.

I didn't measure how many Gs of abv but I estimate about 10g of ABV was used I'll try to scale it if I make this kind of post in the future.

I'm using the Herborizer tonight, which is probably my favorite desktop vape that I own. I didn't get into the whole ball vape craze very much because the Herborizer is just such a pleasant experience and a heavy hitter in its own right. This is probably the vape that I use the most often; I love the design, the vapor signature, and the overall experience of using it.

Hey there everyone! I made some changes to the community and wanted to be transparent with you about them.

Changelog

• Rewritten and expanded community description
• Updated banner to higher quality image with proper cropping ratio
• Updated thumbnail to something hopefully more easily recognizable on smaller devices

Unpinned Post

• Unpinned sales post / Reason: Inactive for over a year. Its better to make a new individual post for visibility/engagement.

• Unpinned "Made dynavap/arizer community" / Reason: Inactive for two years. Also I dont think promoting lemmy vape community fragmentation when were still so small is a good idea.

• Unpinned General Discussion post / Reason: Inactive for two years. Its better to make a new individual post for visibility/engagement.

Thumbnail & Banner Change

I thought the old thumbnail was a little hard to recognize on smaller devices and it was just a generic picture of the volcano. I wanted a more recognizable simple icon that would better represent vapes without being overly specific of one kind. The icon is still of a volcano shaped vape but with removed branding, dark green border, and a hand drawn vapor cloud. If you have constructive critisism or a compelling argument for changing it back I will hear you out.
