Cannabis gives visionary flight, can re-activate 5MeO peak, potentiates psychedelics.
motive for page: address FAQs about a setup
todo: print info card about a vape setup, technique to inhale, strains avail (3 levels of cbd/thc)
seems best to cycle among low/ med/ high thc strains
inform guest of current strain / attributes, can cut short the high-thc extraction to guarantee serving only the best hits eg # 2-4.
Dry Flower Vape Full Setup Is Highly Technical & Complicated Compared to Combusting Herb
dry flower vape – complicated, except when use small mouthpiece / no glass bubbler / single strain.
dab rigs – complicated
combusting – simple
1-Hitter & Dugout, Simplest Combusting
Dugout: wood, fits in pocket, used by cooks on break.
Some dugouts include integrated poker.
Add only a lighter (& poker).
Dugout contains 1-hitter like metal cigarette, & ground herb.
periodically empty & re-loosen the herb.
some 1-hitters have ejector spring to clear the 1-2 hit herb cavity.
Can overload a 1-hitter w 2 hits of herb, can produce huge cloud. A sleeper kit.
Every Hit a Greenie – fresh, every inhale.
Easy to mix strains in chamber- combine lo med hi strains, eg to form a medium-THC, blend: 5% THC, 10% CBD.
discarding hits 4 & 5 guarantees best flavor + clouds, and avoids overdose
cost of cutting short an extraction: more hassle & $.
discard the semi-spent herb, then load fresh herb (eg switch from high to low THC strain)
Labeling Capsules or Dugout with Strain Info
when exploring many strains, for the community, who asks the defunct or simplifying Q “i need Sativa/ Indica”, label the packet of herb capsules (or the dugout):
- strain
- % THC
- % CBD (omit if none)
optional to note:
- sativa|indica; dom terps
- brand/ farm/ grower
- dispensary
- date purchased or on orig package
Server/Host Must Freq Taste/ Monitor, Must Not Inhale Same Qty as Guests
it is not feasible for the host to act as if they are the same participation as guest.
It is not feasible for the host to match the quantity inhaled by every guest.
add links: POTV vids & web store; cewpins’ techn’y research/ testing (specialist in both drt flower vape & concentrates rigs)
not a wax concentrate dab rig. sometimes kncludes a glass bubbler, but that does not imply using concentrates.
mini bubbler mouthipiece is in between simple glass mouthpiece & full size glass bubbler – run w/o water (implies a better design is possible: my design invention concept: small glass mouthpiece w/ mass & maze, but not for adding needless water)
Prefilled Steel Capsules Would Not be Economical
steel capsules in an herb product package gives misimpression of insane notion
no it makes no sense to imagine buying disposable prefilled steel capsules
each empty precision steel capsule costs $3
user fills them and refills them, start w dry flower or cut open prerolls (skips the work of grinding)
Complicated Hassle of Emptying/ Cleaning Spent (or Semi-Spent) Capsules & Filling, & Tracking Which Strain
Optional Steel Capsules to Fill & Insert in Heater
for mobile, on-foot, portable use eg drum circle with gale wind is poor for inserting herb directly in the herb chamber heater; use prepared filled capsules
prepare indoors on table w scale & grinder & tools
pics: Great Canterbury Psalter balance scale, 8x
Packets of Filled Capsules of a Given Strain
every strain follows same general vaping cycle, but w diff flavor & amount of vapor produced, & overcooking risk
Strain Perf Template
for each strain,
copy / paste this template
in the copy, specify the strain, update the %s , update the list of which inhales combine best flavor and best cloud

Replaceable Battery Means No Limit on Sesh Length
v1: potv One vape: 0.1g herb in each capsule, poor for group use; no replaceable batt, “
v2: potv Lobo 🐺 vape: 0.2g herb per capsule, replaceable batt; good for serving group
Volcano 2
110vac; not mobile/portable
the turkey bags start w no air; pure vapor. stores vapor. pros, cons.
v2 adds conduction (steel herb chamber now touches the heater), in add to v1’s convection – like Lobo batt portable has both.
The volcano two produces so much more vapor than volcano 1, that the people who own both units never use volcano one, but always volcano 2.
v1 is old, outdated tech, surpassed now.
Ball Vape, Hammer Vape, Ball Hammer Vape
110vac; not mobile/ portable
produces more vapor clouds than volcano two 
v1: wired, conducts high current to keep ball hammer hot. eg MiniNail, designed & made in Seattle, WA
v2: wireless ball vape: no heater wire. eg Wireless One-Hit Wonder. reduced burn risk, easier to handle. does not cool too fast, according to Cewpins, who advocates this as the best dry flower (non portable) vape.
Lobo Portable Vape
battery (swappable), portable
Cewpins and community pretty much consider this the leading (battery portable) dry flower vape.
two modes: small glass mouthpiece, big glass bubbler
pros/cons of water vs dry – no need to filter, no need for more cooling, so, water is not needed, a cleaner glass results
not interested: able to use those vapes for concentrates/wax, use steel mesh in steel capsule, to prevent drip into heater.
Limitations with Concentrates/ Wax/ Dabs
limited strains
no cbd strains
not directly from the flower
OD from 100x too strong THC – only possible to do 1 hit, then have to stop
Planet Glass Bubbler
by potv
large chamber to mix & to monitor
when chamber empty, see swirls of incoming vapor at start of extraction of fresh herb.
art piece: med size vapor-mixing chamber, actually split into two spaces (bad), 11 glass art mushrooms – good to see/ monitor vapor qty production
Hard to judge: Is It Now Tasting Not-Best; Overcooked; discard & insert fresh herb?
hard to judge when to discard semi-spent herb, wastes $, adds hassle & delay waiting for fresh herb to heat up
For a Community/ Sharing/ Serving, not Just for an Individual
for regional psychedelic church & visitors
drum circle
group rides

Low THC Strains
i define as 0.5% THC, 15% CBD
can do unlimited hits (capsules of herb), get mildly high after many hits
perfect to complement THC strains eg can plan series of strains in a sesh:
1: a low/cbd strain
2. a med/cbd strain
3. a high thc strain
Medium THC Strains
5% THC, 10% CBD
Aliens on Moonshine
Harlequin
High THC Strains
20% THC, 0 CBD
technique: only use hits 1-3; discard the not-best, non-primo hits 4&5 – but requires more process & more waiting to heat up – the spent herb is barely turned green to yellow, & sticky – some ppl gift this for use in edibles
type: moonrocks = weed bud, covered w weed oil, rolled in weed dust – brand: Snowballs, 42% THC. Dry, not runny.
can convert prerolls to steel capsules – often infused eg w kief to boost to 40% THC (found some 5% strains as prerolls, rare)
better to start w flower; prerolls (like carts) give no quality/ freshness/ purity guarantee
prerolls are not bulk; takes time/effort to re-prep in steel capsules

Different Behavior of Low/ Med/ High Temperature
Lobo:
Lowest: 320 deg – sip, extend the initial, terp phase a lot, can turn heater on & off multiple times throughout the day w same herb loaded.
Med: 375 deg – good flav & clouds, low risk of overcooking. eg 10 good hits, not just 5.
Med-High: 390 deg – favored. 5 hits; especially # 2-4 are Best.
Highest temp: 430 deg – have to watch the timer clock intently, high risk of over cooking. the One And Done technique. eg a single 10-sec inhale.
