Ankylosaur, the armoured tank dinosaur!
Clankety clank, clankety clank, anklyosaur was built like a tank
Answering YOUR question:
This is common with disposables and low-quality cartridges.
What's happening: some of the "oil" (which is really more like wax) is getting pulled/dripping into the airflow channel, and when it dries between uses becomes too solid to be cleared easily, blocking airflow
To prevent it next time: don't "chain vape". Take one, maybe two hits tops and let it cool fully before using again
What to do with this one: You can't really fix it unfortunately. So when you experience this, do quick, short, hard pulls repeatedly until it clears. You're trying to activate the coil so it heats up the oil/wax until it's soft enough that air pressure can clear the blockage temporarily. To save your cheeks, you can also suck on it hard, creating negative pressure, then, without letting go, block the hole with your tongue. This will create suction inside, and if you leave it like that for 10-15 seconds it should clear the clog temporarily.
What is the coolest, awesomesr, most mind-bendingest thought youβve 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 ...
Iβll count it. Sounds like a great trip!
What is your ratio of high:sober?
24 hrs:
6 mos:
Lifetime:
I have no idea how to estimate a high to sober ratio.
I'm probably sitting at a 4 - 5 right now:
If you're asking in the last 24 hours how many hours I've spent high vs sober - almost all of them sober (only the past few have been high), so roughly 92% of the last 24 hours has been sober?
Last six months is probably more like 99% in terms of hours - I've had alcohol maybe two - three times this month, weed maybe 3 - 4 times, coffee / caffeine only twice.
Lifetime is 99+%, there are just so few hours I've been high - it's probably less than 30 days a year.
Blaze-on my friend. Climb every mountain.
Huh. I guess I almost never go past 4 on this chart. Only rarely do I hit 6 and I think Iβve only been at 8 a couple times.
I've been so high I significantly struggled to coordinate moving my limbs, very difficult head spaces - tbh I find cannabis much less psychologically safe than other psychedelics like psilocybin
What are you craving to eat right now?
And is the paranoia manifesting itself right now, or does that come after?
I took 2 doses of a CBD tincture earlier in the day, which really cuts down on the paranoia for me - I haven't had much paranoia, but I definitely feel more "spooked" and easily can get pulled into paranoid-adjacent feelings (I have to be a bit more careful about my headspace)
In terms of cravings - I was cooking this pesto pasta earlier, and it did not turn out great, so I'm craving good pesto pasta π You know it's bad when you don't enjoy it despite being both hungry and high π
I think the pasta needs way more salt, and I think it needs more and better pesto, tbh - it tastes bland.
And there are a bunch of leftovers, too π
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
You probably landed already butβ¦
What do you notice about your mind while youβre high? Like, for me I notice two key things: First, I stop giving anything remotely resembling a fuck about anything political. Second, my wit gets really sharp and suddenly Iβm the funniest mf in the room. What about you?
Hope you had a pleasant flight.
My brain seems to wander when high - I find it hard to concentrate, and every single thought is so expansive - it can make it both enjoyable and also very difficult to read a book, for example. Everything is so suggestive, and makes a deeper impression.
I can also get easily paranoid and anxious on cannabis - like I can get really scared that I won't know how to breathe right or that my tongue could suddenly choke me, etc. but also just like ... paranoid about other people and their intentions - I'll read a book and little ambiguities in the interpretation of the author's words can get me paranoid about whether the author is being ironic, or lying to me, or if they're being sincere or not, etc.
Weird thoughts.
Clogged vapes are very normal. Try blowing into it instead of sucking.
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.
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?
Why are called fingers if we never see them fing?
because they're five
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 π 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, 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
Can you remind me, am I high right now as well?
prolly
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
