EDIT: oh, I realized I have a question for you, too - so, I bought this like disposable USB-chargeable vape pen, and it has a lot of juice left, but I’ve noticed when I suck to get it started, it just won’t “hit” or heat up … it’s like there is oil clogging something that is necessary to get it started?
Sometimes I have to suck really hard for minutes to get it going (there is no button as far as I can tell to get it started).
Any suggestions on how to get it to work more reliably? Am I supposed to be cleaning or maintenance-ing this pen in a way I don’t know about?
Thanks!
Why are called fingers if we never see them fing?
because they’re five
Can you point at your hands?
yeah, both hands can point at one another just fine (and I can alternate, too)
Woah, so talented
it is sorta hard to do, tho
What substance
oh, right - cannabis
(EDIT: I use it to cope from laser hair removal, which feels a bit like being poked with a hot iron over and over again)
OUCH.
Well, I’m not gonna take advantage of somebody who’s coping. :)
But I can ask a decent question! Was the removal expensive?
yes, extremely expensive - like, a significant portion of my savings and multiple months of my net income
Dang. Well, I emptied my pockets on therapy the last two years. Some things are just worth it or necessary. Hope you’re satisfied with the end result! ^^
yes, especially for my face it’s basically necessary - it definitely makes me a lot more comfortable with my body - having hair in the wrong places is a distress I’ve ignored most of my life, so it’s good that it’s finally getting addressed 😅
Clogged vapes are very normal. Try blowing into it instead of sucking.
I’ve noticed that the clogs happen more often when the oil gets cold.
I get annoying clogs/half-hits when I don’t leave the cart upright
Some shit carts just straight up leak the oil out of the mouthpiece
Makes me miss herb extra hard
But my mom never shuts the fuck up about how much she hates the smell, so smoking a joint has to be an excursion downwind of my own home
Truth. Flower just works better, but you can’t beat the convenience of a vape.
Can you remind me, am I high right now as well?
prolly
Hi, How are you?
Umm, how about not using oil, and not using disposables. Oils coat your lungs, which is certainly not good for them. And disposables, especially single use disposables, are bad for the only planet we have to live on.
hungry af, I’ve been cooking this pesto pasta dish and it smells so good 🤤
I don’t normally use disposables or oil, but I just moved across state lines and had to get rid of all my normal gear - I normally would only lightly vape flower using a desktop vape and a water bong, and then use the ABV for edibles later.
this disposable pen is just until I can replace all my gear 🤞
That’s the way my friend!
Favorite card in a card game?
I don’t have any vape advice though, I mostly smoke flower. Sorry :(
probably the king of hearts because he shoved a sword through his head
and I had to get rid of all my gear when I moved, so I lost my water bongs and desktop flower vape - I need to buy everything again, but now I have no money, lol - so … maybe for a birthday some year I’ll be able to get back to flower?
So usually those pens just get clogged with the oil.
Suck it like a blocked milkshake straw. Really hard with forward mouth placement. You’re basically using your mouth as a plunger to clear the blockage.
I’ve tried using a toothpick to clear them, but not to much success.
yeah, I’ve been using that forward-tongue hard-suck to clear it in the past, but it’s getting harder and harder (to the point where my mouth hurts like minutes afterwards), and now sometimes after I suck, there is all this sticky stuff that comes up and gets all over the pen - very annoying
I also have found a toothpick hasn’t helped, so I wasn’t sure if there was some trick to this 😅 or is this just a really shitty product and I should have known better?
Sounds like a shit cart. But I’ve had carts from good brands bleed like that before.
Tbh if you want pain relief, just get an edible and eat it when you go in for hair removal lol.
I usually use a tincture, but edibles fuck me up for hours and it’s a lot harder to control how high I am during the session (I can get too high, and it can increase distress; or I can be still waiting for the come-up - and this depends not just on how much I took, how long I held it under my tongue, and when I took it, but also when I last had a meal or whether I took it before or after a meal, etc.)
whereas hitting a cart lets me control it much better and doesn’t leave me disabled later
Cheap vapes need to heat up. This is preferable to overdrawing current and starting a fire.
any idea on how to get it to heat up when it only starts to heat based on suction? I can’t suck hard enough to get it going, it seems.
No. You gotta suck. If there’s a button you can use that.
there is no button :-(
any tips on how to get it started?
maybe there is some kind of device that can suck for me, or would be able provide more pressure?
or maybe ways to heat the oil?
Maybe I could like microwave dry rice or something and then stick the pen in the rice to pre-heat the pen?
If it takes more than 10 seconds to heat up it’s broken.
it’s not about timing, when I try to suck it’s clogged and it can’t initiate heating at all - it’s not like it’s slow to heat, it just doesn’t know to heat. So I have to suck really, really hard (to the point that it hurts), and suck for minutes before it finally clears enough that it can initiate heating (and then it works fine).
Then it’s broken
hm, weird - I think it’s just clogged, not broken - I’m able to suck hard enough to get it to eventually clear and heat up, and then it works fine
I wouldn’t call that broken as much as clogged - so I’m wondering how to clear the clog in more efficient / better ways, but it sounds like you’re out of ideas?
Are you still high?
who can say, really?
What is the worst thing humanity has ever invented?
I personally think it’s running.
religion, my dude. religion
oh god, that’s dark - I don’t know, but there are many devices that were engineered to torture people, e.g. the Spanish donkey - if it weren’t such a bad headspace I could probably come up with an approximate for the worst thing
but maybe I should just choose leaded gasoline since it poisoned so many people
or maybe agent orange, I dunno
When you get dressed is it sock, sock, shoe, shoe OR sock, shoe, sock, shoe?
almost always: sock, sock then shoe, shoe
it’s usually a glitch in my brain that leads to sock, shoe, sock shoe - and it feels wrong when I do it.
How can it be anything else? Put your socks on in your bedroom, get ready to go, grab a purse or a bag and car keys and stuff, and then put your shoes on in the genkan or entryway or foyer or whatever.
Or are you telling me there’s people who wear shoes in the house?
I sit outside and do the sock, shoe, sock, shoe right before I head out.
yes, or if your shoes are relatively clean, you can do them indoors just before you leave (or maybe that’s gross, i dunno)
I do the sock, slipper, sock, slipper if I am going to be in the house. But in that case when I go out it turns into sock, sock, shoe, shoe. Oh heck life is funny!
I usually put socks on after a shower and before bed, so I do lotion, sock, lotion, sock, slippers (together, usually at once)
Did you have fun?
If it’s a 510 thread style try cleaning the contacts.
What is the coolest, awesomest, most mind-bendingest thought you’ve thought while high?
I dunno, I’ve felt like full body geometric recursively folding-into-itself-and-expanding floral heart waves that felt like the immense happiness and love that I have for everyone in the world - but that was more like a feeling than a thought …
I’ll count it. Sounds like a great trip!
How high can you fly?
Can you fly high enough to touch the sky?
Can you fly up there, hijack a plane, rob everyone, then jump out, DB Cooper Style?
Do it.
I dare you.
I mean, I can jump maybe like a foot above the ground?
definitely can’t touch the sky 🙅♀️
If I flew up there on a plane, I think I would struggle to successfully hijack the plane … and I don’t want what other people on the plane have … I would prefer to just read a book, tbh.
Also, there was a recent new lead on the DB Cooper case - some money was found that was linked back to the case, and they’re doing forensics on the money.
We live on the seabed of an ocean of sky. We breathe the sky with every breath.
whoa, that’s nice 👀
Thanks! ❤️ I expanded it a bit, and put line breaks in so it’s like a poem:
With every breath I breathe the sky and taste the breath of every tree and bush, and creeping vine, and blade of grass. And out I breathe the atoms I no longer need, to feed the countless growing things that live with me on the seabed of the sky.😍 💖 💞 🌄
this gives me goosebumps
very lovely, thank you 🫶
