    Neither like nor dislike the ads, they are tracking your IP.

    Don't it makes zero difference other than whom gets Tax audited, home raided etc. next.

    Don't touch the ads, don't watch the ads. It's just depressing. You have seen anti governmental propaganda.

    To ah, @Baditude was it all curious about what the herb is like after you haven't partaken in several years?

    Several of us hippie types who were forced by circumstance and whatever to give it up... When you try it the first time, just have someone you love close by.

    There seems to be an initial EPISODE where all the latent brain chemicals are triggered, and like, you have an episode of PURE paranoia where the whole time you are like "I DID THIS TO ME WHY WHY WHY WHHY WHY."

    It only happens the first time, after that you are good to go. But I'm serious and I know a LOT of them. Well some of them. Who were all like "Legal say WHAA? I never even considered this a DRUG," only that FIRST time, you might. You might get the prohibition and its rationale there for a few minutes.

    Don't get me wrong it is INTERESTING but it is also FAR more terrifying than "will my parents be able to tell why I am eating so much and giggling."

    Interesting story on NBCNews.com today on vaping battery safety. Fairly accurate especially regarding mechs, but no mention of regulated mod use.
    These batteries were never intended for use in e-cigarettes. They can cause deadly explosions.

    "
    That's because the act of taking 18650s in and out of vaping devices or chargers can damage the cell's insulating wrapper
    "

    And this is why, people, for-the-love-of-god make sure you always have PLENTY of battery wraps ON HAND! The very moment I figured out how to do it and where to get them, I near-instantly had many MANY hundreds in ALL sizes I use: 21700 (FT), 18650 (FT), AA/14500 (Ebay), AAA/10440 (Ebay).

    I'm still looking for a cheap place that sells the paperboard top insulators for the 21700, AA, and AAA sizes... Found plenty 18650 insulator gaskets from FastTech.

    .... And now concludes today's PSA.

    "The explosion caused the device to shoot "like a rocket into the cranial cavity and then [fall] to the ground, igniting a fire at the same time,"

    Let me guess, tube mod without vents and if I had to go with a hunch I'd say a hybrid.

    Yup, that's a very fair guess. The article did stress this was all about mechs and the need to learn all about battery safety (down to don't put your battery loose in your pocket with your keys) and a mech's operation. Also touched on rewraps and counterfeits, not something I recall a general news article addressing before.

    I just wish they had given a little coverage that mech use is a minority in the marketplace, and regulated mods that take 18650's don't carry the same risks in use that mechs do. But at least it wasn't a total "the sky is falling" article, although the title is a little click baitish.

    UK & much further East.
    iirc more than several decades ago a Swiss camera assistant put a high capacity camera cell pack ( likely NiCd back then) in his pocket/belt pouch with his keys in a busy moment. Seriously burnt or worse I can't remember, that made me very very careful with cells to the level of obsession.

    Since then NASA has experienced exploding or burning batteries, Tesla cars, phones, iPads in an Apple store, E-scooters, power tools and many others too. Vape industry is just one to be fair.

    So cells don't give a damn who you are, if you make an error they will be ready to get you. Frightens me to see what careless/stupid people do with hi-capacity cells that are, simplistically, a small metal tube packed full of energy that look completely harmless - "Nah it's like an AA battery innit?" said one idiot on a bus swopping mod cells when I suggested his torn up (ironically the torn wrap had a skull & crossbones design) and dented 18650 was a potential bomb. He put the thing in his pocket. I moved seats pronto, to near the exit :blink:

    There's a few vid clips around of computed tomography of Lithium cells showing the result of slight damage. Sobering!

    Govs think they need to do some education about the risks, but ofc they will all make lame mistakes and lose what credibilty <they think> they have. It's down to each industry therefore.

    Today's "stuff" is much more potent compared to the 60's. My son partakes and sometimes I join him.

    60's nothing, it's even more potent than what it was in the 80's & 90's. I think producers / sellers are combining in some "other stuff" what boosts it. Would be about scared to even consider getting small units of it for once a month relaxation. It used to be expressed, "trust to those you share a __ with", not sure of that anymore because who the feck knows what's in "stuff".

    No, that's largely propaganda about adulterants (sure, it might have happened, but not often at all with just chamomile).. All they're doing is selecting qualities that produce more of whatever 'profile' the growers are after - nothing more sinister than that.

    You should be able to get lesser/differently-active varieties that you could use to more-or-less have a 'sip' at with an on-demand dry-chamomile vape (which almost invariably have [true] temp control, for yet further control over intake). Otherwise with the 510 oil-cartridges, I'm always at about 3 watts now - so I can truly just sip at my chamomile.

    So while it's true that today's chamomile is often much stronger, so too are the options to control one's intake infinitely more granular.

    Copy that. I had thought they may have been putting basil or certain thymes with chamomile. Suppose even the so called alternate news can be brought to spread misinformation, or disinformation, though. Had seen something regarding it on that VICE network a while back. Good to know though.:)

    Selective breeding (or whatever you call it with plants) has boosted active chamomile (really, is that the new code word?) from less than 5% back in the 70's to 25% or more in today's leafy chamomile.

    What with the direction of regulation, I imagine Monsanto will jump in there with some genetically modified version for even higher yields. You know, more efficient use of arable soil or maximizing garage space and lowering your lighting electric bill.

    Selective breeding IS genetic modification :)

    Yep that monk guy started it.

    Monks are good at SO MUCH. Cheeses! Beer! Genetic mutation without even knocking anyone up!

    Man, imagine what man could do if everyone signed a virginity pledge.

    Life would continue we'd be growing babies in incubators really SMART babies, in less than one generation.
