Are you still high?
who can say, really?
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?
I dunno

What's your favorite dinosaur? 🦕
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 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.

Can you remind me, am I high right now as well?
prolly
Can you point at your hands?
yeah, both hands can point at one another just fine (and I can alternate, too)
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?
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?

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 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.

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)
