Struggling with an empty vape? This Hair Dryer Trick may save the day!

Greetings Tree Lovers. I discovered a while back the benefits of using a standard 1500 watt hair dryer to help unclog and maintain a vape tube. I have discovered when you think all vape oil is gone because the tiny bit you can see won't go into any of the 4 holes you can manipulate that oil using the hair dryer to form a pool that you can then manipulate over a hole! This will give you a Hit! But that's Just the beginning! Most of the time you don't know this because you can't easily see it but the entire surface of the glass is covered with transparent stuck on oil that you cannot access... unless you manipulate it all around with heat for a while. You can corral this all together heating the glass and turning the cart and by the specific angle you hit the right spots on. It take a little trial and error. This fresh previously unobtainable oil will add to your existing pool of oil at the bottom for a much larger amount of oil! Bottom line is when you Think you have Nothing, can't get a hit and can't get to the vape store - you still have options! Takes a little work but it will get you there in a pinch!

Hope this helps someone. I just got 5 hits off a dead empty cart and it's not done yet. I can do the whole process in 5 to 10 minutes. I have about 8 more empty carts to check. Let me tell you, it works because I'm medicated 😄

Best trick I found for clogged Vape Carts!

Why do carts get clogged? It's because some of the vape oil gets sucked up through the tube when you hit the vape as it acts as a straw. The thinner your vape oil gets due to the amount of heat you use and how full the cart is and how hard you draw determines how much oil you can potentially suck up into the tube. What happens is as you let the vape cart cool between hits some of that oil lining the tube solidifies instead of flowing back down to the oil reservoir. In time, this can cause the whole tube to clog.

I have seen people suggest sucking hard to unclear the clog, and or heating the coil a little to heat the oil to help clear the clog as you suck. This does work but doesn't really help because you have to use an upward suck to achieve the effect which can cause more liquid to solidify higher up in the tube. The solidified oil can get so high up, you can see the clog at the opening of the mouth piece tube.

The best option is to heat the oil in a way where it does not get hot enough to vaporize causing you to waste precious vape oil and allow buoyancy and density (what you call Gravity) to do it's thing. This means Not hitting the Button on the device.

I use a simple 1500 watt hair dryer to heat the vape oil all around the cart and let it sit for a minute before vaping. Works like magic. It doesn't encourage the oil traveling up the tube and is low enough heat not to vape any oil. The hair drier can get to 160 F but the oil can only vaporize at 315 F.

The trick to actually preventing a clog in the first place is two fold. 1) Never use too high of heat and 2) Never suck hard while you vape. If you Have to suck hard, there is already a problem you need to solve. People do vape at different temp ranges for different effects and that's fine as long as you understand that you may be contributing to your vape cart becoming clogged.

That's been my experience. Hope it help someone. Happy Trees!

Were we always able to play Far Cry games DLC or is this a new thing?

I just replaced my older copy of Far Cry 5 that was a Mr DJ repack with the latest Dodi repack. I was shocked to learn the DLC such as Hours of Darkness and Mars DLC were playable. I have all of the main games 1 through 6 (including Primal and Blood Dragon) and I have never been able to play the DLC's before. Was it just a case of me getting repacks like Mr DJ that were not complete? What gives.. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. - I may have to replace all my other titles if I can get the DLC's to work with them now.

Supreme Court says unlawful drug users may legally possess firearms

According this NBC news report,

" In a unanimous decision that could affect Americans who use marijuana and own firearms, the Supreme Court upheld lower court rulings that an unlawful drug user can still legally possess a gun."

Article by Justin Boggs and Ava-joye Burnett. - https://www.nbc26.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-says-unlawful-drug-users-may-legally-possess-firearms

They don't offer too much context so Brave AI gives us this:

" In United States v. Hemani, the Court held that the government cannot categorically disarm individuals solely based on their status as "unlawful users" of controlled substances without proving they pose a specific danger or are currently impaired

Key limitations of the ruling:

  • The decision does not protect drug addicts or individuals who possess firearms while under the influence of drugs. 
  • Justice Neil Gorsuch emphasized that the ruling addresses the lack of due process in the automatic ban, noting that historical laws only disarmed those proven to be dangerous or incapacitated, such as "habitual drunkards" adjudicated by a court. 
  • The federal government retains the authority to prosecute drug users who can be shown to present a demonstrable risk to public safety, though the enforcement strategy must now align with these constitutional requirements.

 

This ruling specifically benefits casual users, such as Ali Danial Hemani, who admitted to regular marijuana use but was not accused of using a weapon while impaired or committing other crimes.  It leaves unresolved how federal prosecutors will adjust their approach to enforce gun laws against individuals with substance use disorders who may still be deemed dangerous."

However this story is ALL over the net. You can't go 10 web pages without tripping over it. I guess the NOCC will have to change it's rules.

My wife has a problem dropping carts. This may help. Make it happen.

We have lost a few carts because my wife is butter fingers. She will either drop the battery plus cart accidentally or she will fall asleep and let it roll out of her hand.

One solution would be to use shatter proof glass but then already high prices would go up.

I propose a rubber sleeve that is thick so even if dropped, the glass doesn't contact any hard surfaces. Of course you can make something like that at home with duct tape and strya foam or any other way you can fabricate similar functionality. What do you think?
