I've never used or even heard of a vaporizer to smoke out out of. I must be old school and out of the loop now. Somebody fill me in. Now I have a question: Has anyone ever bought seeds over the internet? I want to grow some sort of really beautiful canibus plant in my house that won't smell like weed or even look like any plant I've ever seen. Which is only homegrown dirt weed. I had a beautiful plant started in my back yard but it was stolen right out of the ground. I found out who ripped it right out of the ground by the roots! I also heard him bragging on how much bud it was producing. Well guess what? Someone had balls enough to go right over to his house and chop the darn thing down. Yes, I said chop! it had grown so big that the base of the plant had to be flippen chopped down. I laughed my bootie off when I found out they were home at the time it was being chopped down! No, I was not the one who stole it from himl. I have always been a true believer in "what goes around, comes around" and in this case...I was right again! Anyway....I want to grow something in my house and keep it there. Is that possible? And what does anyone suggest. I see vie internet that there are some really beautiful, colorful, fragrent plants out there. You just have to order the seeds. Is this safe?

A vaporizer is a device that heats marijuana to the point where the cannabinoids vaporize without setting the weed on fire. Inhaling the vapors is not very much like smoking. It's much cleaner and easier on your lungs. I like the high better, too. It's like a sativa high even if you're smoking indica type weed.

The two basic types are ones that put the weed directly on a heating element and the ones where you draw heated air through the weed. I prefer the latter type.

People do it all the time without any problem. If the Post Office detects them your seeds will be confiscated but there will be no legal repercussions on you. Some of the seedbanks will replace your order if it is "lost in the mail". There's a sister site to marijuana.com called "hempcultivation.com". You'll find everything there that you need to know to grow excellent marijuana.

I'm not sure if this has been covered.. and this is my first post here too... I'm not trying to read 98 pages in here.. no offence

anywho...
About 2 weeks ago I picked up a Vapor Brothers Vaporizer because my lungs are failing me when it comes to smoking..I have been a heavy herb smoker for about 7 of the past 10 years and a light smoker the other 3... I smoked a pack of cigg's a day for 13 years, up untill 1 year ago(I finally quit!!!!!) my lungs are gone.. anywho...I got the vaporizer in hopes that it would solve my problems with smoking...

The Problem:
When I take a hit from my protopipe lungs feel like they close on me and half the time I end up gagging up a golfball sized amount of clear mucous. and for the next couple hours my lungs do nothing but whistle and wheeze... it compleatly takes the joys out of my toking. (is it possible I've developed asthma.. not sure if it can be "developed")

The Solution?:
I had read everywhere about vaporizers being much less harsh and irratating on the lungs.. So.. I got my VB vaporizer. unpacked it plugged it in.. ground up some KB dropped it in... took a hit.. tasted REALLY good.. but no vapor... did it again.... large vapor cloud exhaled (not from burning of course) and my lungs felt worse then in my bong smoking days... coughing 10X worse then I was from my protopipe... over the past 2 weeks I've prolly ran about an 28g's through it (half oz of mids and half of KB) and tried various hit sizes and slightly varying the temp/rate of inhale.. and no matter what.. this thing still tears my lungs a new a$$h0le

So.. for the past week been trying eating the stuff (I have had lots of experience with brownies in the past.. but it just costs me to much to make a full batch) also.. the high is different.. I cant go to work on them like I can smoking (I stock shelves at a grocery store) it makes me WAY to clumsy and the whole tingling feeling just doesn't work for me stocking shelves... lol

Anywho:
I love my vaporizer it works great gives me a KILLER clean high... much better then my proto pipe or my glass bongs of my teen years... however...
does anyone have a soloution on how to make the vapor less irratating to my lungs or am I just screwed?


P.S.... I have been to a Dr. about my lungs about 2 years ago had cat's of my lungs taken a few times.. small pea sized nodules everywhere... so.. I may have lung cancer... or.. as the Dr. said.. lots of peeps in my area have nodules in their lungs from some kinda "spores" in the air... after about 3 cat scans over 1 year.. I was done wasting my $$$ on the Dr.. cause I'm either dead.. or fine.. screw it...

needless to say.. I hope this makes some kind of sence.. I'm VERY sleep deprived.. and sober at the moment

if you don't know.. this is a protopipe

Your lungs are obviously very sensitive. The best approach I can think of is to lower the concentration of cannabinoids in each pull on the vape and take more pulls.

A big visible cloud of vapor is an indication that you are taking very concentrated hits. In lower concentrations the exhaled vapor is only slightly visible if visible at all. I've gotten very high on totally invisible vapor. To get lower concentration hits all you need to do is turn down the temperature control. Even if you can't see the vapor you know it's there by its effects. Get the temp down to the lowest where you still get an effect and take a lot more hits off of each load in the whip.

I was't sure if I would still get the effects with it down that low... my brain is still trying to comprehend no smoke....
Had had the temp sitting at about halfway between 11 and 12 o'clock....
turned it down to between 9 and 10 o'clock... hadn't had it down that far...
still trashes my lungs... but a lot less now...course.. just sucking through the whip with nothing in it chokes me... lmao
Only 2 problems left to work out with it...need to get me a small bubbler of some sort to run the tube in to humidify it, as the air/vapor is horribly dry, and..... I miss seeing my smoke

However.. I'll live.. I think

Thanks for the advice.... back to reading.... think I've spent about 10 hours in the past 3 days reading this forum

You honestly shouldn't be smoking a lot of smoke. It's called vaporization for a reason and you shouldn't see much of anything. Just load a tiny bit onto the plate, about 0.2 to 0.3 grams and just smoke that on the lowest setting. Vapor: it's just barely visible, like a fine mist or light fog.

Vapor Brothers has a dimmer knob and not "settings" wich I would assume will cause temps to vary slightly from unit to unit and of course room temp will play into that as well... but whatever... got the temps down to where I can see the vapor in a shadow in the wall... but not actually see it... I'm much more pleased.. and lungs are happier....anywho.. brownie starting to seep into my veins... time to go see a movie......haven't been to a movie theator since harry potter 2....and I slept through that one....anywho.. off topic.... apparently brownie is working.. damn rambeling

Default Lightbulb vaporizer

I'm preparing a lightbulb as per the instructions, except I'm using a clear bulb as opposed to frosted. My question is about a green, chalky, substance in the base of the bulb; it looks like it might adhere the glass to the metal. Anyone know what this is? I've been scraping out a lot of it and I want to make sure its not toxic. Thanks
