I just smoked it for the first time and I’m super high. Can’t believe how high I am off that little bit of grass. So all you guys talking about how great dry herb vaping is, I see you and I think I’m a changed man.

    Hang on to the vaped herb it’s great for edibles. It’s decarbed so it’s ready to use and like 90% as strong as purposely decarbed fresh herb.

    Vaping is so ridiculously efficient when compared to smoking.

        I’ve eaten it from my mighty and it wasn’t too bad. About a teaspoon of it works as a good starting point.

        Yes you absolutely can. Mix it with yogurt, put it in blender with a fruit smoothie, spread it over some toast and nutilla. Put it in pill capsules and lock down a dose.

        Process it into cannaoil, cannabutter, or tincture. Use that to make edibles, or you can pain relief THC topicals with menthol, some of whatever natural essential oils you buy into, and a touch of lidocaine for your elderly relatives.

        The golden brown substance that will build up in your mouthpiece is pure reclaim oil similar to what you get with dabbing concentrate. You can make stem milk if you feel comfortable putting the glass mouthpiece in simmering milk. You can also use a hairdryer and try to drip it out as a lesser quality reclaim dab.

            Dosing in terms of edibles and eating ABV raw you want to eat at least a few grams. I would save up at least a full shotglass of ABV before throwing into a single serving meal. Maybe measure out 3.5-5g and see what that does for you. If you want to make oil save up more like a mason jar worth.

            Dose as in herb chamber? Its relative unless you got a sensitive scale that can measure hundredths of a G. You can consider a full herb chamber in the device to be a ‘dose’ for reference. You should scale it but the crafty most likely holds between .10-.20g per chamber if you fill it up with herb but I’m guessing.

            Dosing size differs by device and herb chamber capacity. Some vapes are ‘macrodosing’ where you can cook an entire G at once, some vapes are ‘microdosing’ one hitters where you can only fit in like .05g per hit.

            You’ll eventually figure out approximately how many crafty bowls will get you where you need to be. You can also fill the chamber half ways to microdose it helps with draw airflow too.

                You’re welcome! I am glad to be able to help you out. You can always reach out if you got more questions 😎

                Stoked to see you finally enter the vaping scene. I knew it would find its way to you somehow if it was meant to be. Hope this ends up being a complete game changer for you too. Either way very nice to see you giving things a chance.

                How do you like the ‘vapor’ compared to just smoking? Flavors any different? A little easier on the throat? Your bud lasting a little longer?

                Not sure if crafty comes with its own Water Pipe Adapter (WPA) to plug into your bongs and dab rigs, if not there’s some 3rd party ones like glass and wood

                  It is easier on the throat, and it does last much longer. By my estimation one of these pods takes like a .1 and I can get pretty high on it like two or three times which is, frankly, obscene. It feels like cheating. Yesterday I was high from like 7 am when I woke up until 11 pm when I went to bed and I smoked maybe a half a gram. It’s incredible.

                  The taste… honestly, meh. Fresh bowls taste amazing but the second time I fire it up it’s pretty weird, my wife hates the taste and won’t even hit it. She’s a baby though and she only smokes joints anyway, she always complains about other methods. I used to have a pax 3 that I didn’t love, and this tastes better than the pax 3. It’s also easier to whack and it charges with USBC which is amazing.3

                  I understand the crafty isn’t even necessarily that good anymore but it’s hard for me to imagine a vape being better, and I got it way under MSRP so especially for the money I spent I’m super happy with it. I reckon with the weed conservation alone it’ll pay for itself in short order.

        You could, but your stomach acid will break down a lot of the thc. That’s part of why edibles are so inconsistent. Best to mix it with food or steep it into something fatty to extract it.

    Uh oooooh… my mans bizzle finally pulled the trigger!? Hyped to see it, Im sure you and the Crafty will get quite familiar with each other over the next thousand hits. Go and turn that green to brown black! May you only occasionally kiss the dragon when you aren’t meaning to ;) One of us, one of us, one of us!

        Replacement only takes about an hour. The hardest part was finding batteries with the tabs already on them because I didn’t want to have to get a tab welding tool as I already have way too much crap. I did the batteries in mine about 3 years ago and they still work great. Unfortunately the source i got them from doesn’t sell them anymore.

    I’ve never had a dry vaporizer before, so I’m looking to buy my first. Anyone have any suggestions for information resources or specific products I should be looking at? Someone mentioned the TinyMight 2, but it doesn’t really seem like an entry level model. But maybe I should just go for the best.

    I tend to consume smaller amounts of cannabis at a time, so a model that has flexibility in terms of hit size would be ideal.

      https://fuckcombustion.com/ is a good resource for discussions. I agree with the other poster that Dynavap is a good starting point. There is some learning curve to get the process dialed in, but it’s not too hard. If you want something electric, Planet of the Vapes Lobo is decent. Though, I do think it’s probably worth putting that money toward the Tinymight2. I have had probably 20 vaporizers in the last 10 years and the TM2 is about all I use anymore. If you enjoy using them at home, I really recommend going through water.

      The dynavap B Is a great budget entry device into the dry herb vaping world. If you like vaping you can upgrade to a nicer DV or move to a fancier more expensive electric vape. If you don’t, you are only out like 50$. Theres the vaphits if you want even more budget friendly Chinese knockoff DV.

        Even their torches are cheap. I expected a capitalistic “our main products are cheap but we getcha on the extras” but was pleasantly surprised by their torches. Thanks!

        Depends on what you’re after and the budget but in general things have progressed a lot.

        In the area of portable electric vapes you’re probably not going to find anything more versatile than TinyMight 2. It hits like a truck, provides great flavour, has a decent replaceable battery and is tube loaded which is just convenient. It is also a bit pricey so I wouldn’t recommend it as a first vape ever. If you tried something older or more budget oriented and liked it then you’ll probably love it though. In the end you’re probably going to end up with one anyway.

        As a counterpoint I need to mention that TM2 made cannabis both too good and too easy. I sold mine and went with butane vapes because they require a bit more ritual and are more micro dosing friendly.

          I’ve been using PAX 3 extensively for the past 7 years and I honestly don’t know what they could possibly upgrade. If it broke, I’d probably get an identical one (if they still make them).

            I think I used a pax 3 as first vape years ago. Off the top of my head IIRC: Pax has

            • proprietary charger not USBC

            • built in battery that you can’t easily swap when it degrades

            • strange magnetically fixed herb chamber on the bottom that doesnt cook evenly

            • a wierd flashing led light indicator to tell you the state of your device and three preset heat options instead of proper temp controls with exact values and configurable heat zones

            • a mouthpiece that isnt 18mm/14mm/8mm glass insert compatable (I think?)

            The pax is an ancient and overpriced vape that hasnt innovated in over a decade. Theres a whole new world of competion. Vapcaps, convection+conduction hybrids, injection ball vapes. When your pax gives out do yourself a favor and look at other options like the arizer solo 3.

            I started out with Pax 3 and I won’t be knocking on it. It’s great portable that fits in your pocket which is very convenient. Taste and battery are okay, especially given the size. The only real downside is cleaning because vapor path goes through the device rather than being isolated into an external stem but that’s the price of portability. But there’s just no comparison on how much oomph you get for the same amount of flower.

            I think there are some controversies on build quality and warranty claims with Pax on the latest models (Pax Plus) but that Pax 3 is an indestructible tank so hold on to it :)

        I’m guessing the tinymight2 isn’t the most modern but if we’re going with recommendations… it’s still upper tier and wonderful.

          TinyMight 2 is being revised quite often so it’s not the same device as couple of years ago. They got rid of glass chamber in favour of a steel one, reworked that dinky button etc. IIRC even the heating element design was updated.

    I had a vape, but it and an e nail I got for my bong didn’t survive being plugged into a charger even once. Whatever voltage regulator has to be like 5¢ to add to the build but they all cheap out. If it’s electronic and for smoking weed, it better be cheap, because it will break if you sneeze on it
