My fantasy audience loves what I infodump about

The worst is when you prepare a conversation in your head but then when you have it in real life, people ask all the wrong questions and now you don't have the proper answer prepared. So better attempt to predict every single possible way the conversation could go, that'll surely help and not just bog my brain down to the point where I don't get anything done!

How many of you guys went from smoking > > vaping > dabbing mainly?

I've never dabbed (no access to good concentrates), but I can relate to the "get the consumption outta the way and keep grooving" part. It's why I mostly use the vapes that can extract very fast these days (namely BAKx, herborizer and Dynavap). Although sometimes I also have phases when I absolutely love my slow extractors (Vapman, vaponic or solo 2 - the former two can extract fast too but I prefer a slow roast with them).

hangovers from vaping?

Yeah, it's a thing. Some factors I've identified: How close you vape to bedtime - I try to leave at least 2h in-between nowadays, more is better, up to 4h especially for occasional users. How much water you drink - stay hydrated. What you eat - satisfying your munchies with unhealthy shit will definitely make you feel worse the next day.

Imo it's mostly down to sleep quality moreso than actual after effects of the drug. Tbf that's a big part of alcohol hangovers too.

Graduate from XMAX v3

I like my V3 Pro for on the go because it's stealthy and gets the job done. People just think it's some kind e-cig and don't even give me a second glance.

That said, I don't use it at home because my other options are tastier and/or harder hitting and/or smoother.

As for your question regarding crafty/mighty - personally I don't like them very the vapor isn't particularly tasty and feels a bit scratchy (a phenomenon known to some people as the "Bickel tickle"). They certainly extract well and give you the most out of your bud, but personally the only s&b vape I'm interested in ever owning it's a volcano.

Many people love their s&b portables though, my opinion is just that - one guy's opinion.

What are YOU vaping today?

Every day is mystery weed day haha. I only know what the CBD strains are called as I obtain them legally. THC bud, I just get whatever is available but I never get any strain names. Yet another reason to look forward to legalization, but I don't see that happening anytime soon here.

My current collection

Right now the BAKx, but that's also my latest acquisition. VaporGenie never gets used, Lotus not a whole lot but increasing lately, everything else sees pretty regular use. Solo 2 a lot less since the BAK is here, but I think after my honeymoon phase it'll make its way back into the regular rotation for couch movie situations and such.

Do you use temp control at all or don’t care?

Honestly, I sometimes start pretty low temp to get the most out of the terps, but I always finish on high temps. For bong rips, I go high temp straight away.

As for this chart - there's been much debate around it, the accuracy is questionable at best. As soon as you have multiple compounds with different boiling points, it goes out of the window anyway because that changes the boiling points of all substances in the mix.

Ball vape

I don't have one myself but from what I've read, they all perform at a similar level and the thinner the walls of the ball chamber and the closer the balls end up to the bud in your bowl, the better. Basically as little unnecessary material as possible as that just dissipates heat (freight train is a good example for how not to do it). Metal for the ball chamber generally outperforms other materials although the quaroma is supposedly pretty much the tastiest option in that form factor.

Cloud connoisseur zeal seems to be one of the best options for price/performance ratio rn.

But again, all second hand info here, maybe someone more qualified to answer the question will show up.

The yellow and black thing is a box mod (not sure what the model is called), powering a BAKx by lamart with a heatsink between them so the mod doesn't overheat. If you look closely, you will see the glass tube that sits within the wooden thing (aka the BAKx). That gets heated up by a flat coil that's wound around it. Once you put in the bowl part, the inner tube and your herbs and/or concentrates of choice will heat up. When you pull on it, the air almost only passes hot glass (also a little bit of cool wood) and it puts out densest, most instant vapor I've ever seen from a vape. If you check my profile, you'll find a video of the thing aswell!
