I can't either and have been studiously working on a way to add moisture to the dry vapors from a dab and cool them down so that they are less irritating to my lungs.

I think I have it down with both bubblers and carburation playing with my mockup, and need to have one more prototype part made to incorporate my newest technique into hardware.

I've switched to a quartz diamond knot nail heated with a PID controlled coil and kept at the low end of the temperature range. The diamond knot nail has a very small cup, so there is minimal surface area for vaporization, thus limiting the amount of vapor produced at any one time.

After placing a dab in the cup, I place a carb cap over it, so that when I draw it lowers the static pressure in the diamond knot nail cup and causes the rate of boiling to increase.

I pull those vapors through two bubblers in series and the newest design will add a valve-controlled carburetor tube to the mouthpiece, further cooling and diluting the vapors to a level that doesn't irritate my lungs.

Here is the rig with the non-carbureted mouthpiece that I am using now and carbureting by lifting the mouthpiece taper to admit air as I draw.

I have always found the smaller the chamber, the better. It seems that the bigger chamber, would water the smoke down more, but it's just not been that way for me. It's just been a greater volume to deal with. I just need to get it over as quick as possible. Time exposed to danger, kind of thing. Watering it down, is no less particles. It's just longer exposure. More drying time, before I can wet again. There is logic here.

A humidifier is game changing. You could add moisture to the gear, but adding it to the air is easy. You just inhale in the cool air stream they create. The smoke can go from a drying effect, to wetting at the extreme. The oddest thing though.. dry weed tastes fresh again. It needs trying to appreciate it. That moisture returns lost flavour.

Evening folks! A bright windy day in these parts. I'll be taking cuts, bringing in the trees and a tray, up-potting and filling a tub later. 1st I'm gonna drink a beer and smoke a joint...or 2. Fish and shrimp for dinner. We were supposed to have it earlier, but something came up.

peace

I have not been to prison, spent the night in jail one time and they didn't even lock the bars up, just left them open. I'll save that story for another day.

I have spent time with some unsavory characters during my life and odd people as well. The people who I remember most are those who are kind and themselves. Those are angry and filled with hatred I think the least of or at all.

good day to you Unca Walt...listen to your son, when required.
Someone was talking about being lucky. Never been in hand-cuffs... I'm 1 of the luckiest MF's you've ever met. My toast ALWAYS lands butter-side up:

I think Sub I'm going to go with the Spider Farmer G5000, it's in my price range, I can order within country. I'm glad you mentioned that brand I think it is very suitable to my needs and the plants:)
They work nice for me but some others use them on here like boos light. I would at least read the reviews before you make your purchase. I’ve had good luck with two of them with no issues tho and a lot of grows so far.
‘good day to you old man ✌️

Doing little things for nature - makes me feel good too - for example - rescuing various insects from swimming pools - and yes - I laughed at the good feeling I got - after rescuing a dragonfly - that had got a little too close to the water - then watching this beautiful creature dry and revive itself - after I had deposited its twitching body on the dry pool side - making sure it was in the shade - so would not fry under the hot-hot sun - whilst being rescued - yes - I laughed at the incredible feeling I got - as I watched the dragonfly dry it's wings - then launch itself off - up - into the light breeze - of a very bright day - leaves me thinking - wow - I saved a life today 😀
Kinda wordy; try it as a haiku.

Hi DB,

If I ever grab a mcDogfood's Doober, the seagulls hanging around in the car park get the gherkins off the burger.
Slimy little sneaky things.
You think you've taken them all off, but no... one will be tucked away still inside.
I prefer BK, but that's a 2 hour drive.

We have no decent burger places around here, so we make our own these days. just beef mince and a bit of pepper. Cast iron pan and squish it down, cheese on top when flipped. 2 of them in a nice burger bun or wrap of lettuce if I'm not digging the buns.

Now I'm hungry. nearly 9pm and too high todrive or operate the fridge door. Dagnabbit. 🤪

Plus it's sleeting out there and -2 in that wind.

Have a good evening yourself dude, along with the rest of you OFs!

I'm watching Conan the Barbarian. He's just thumped a camel on the jaw and knocked it out. 🤣

My rig is for vaporizing concentrates (dabbing), so there is no smoke. The trick is with vapors is to add moisture without cooling the vapors enough to condense out in the water and to leave enough terpenes to retain some flavor.

By dabbing at 232C/450F instead of 800C/1500F as when combusting the material, not as much cooling is required and there are no soot particles in the vapors, as there is in smoke.
