There’s a vaporent community and a vaporists community. Neither have been active for almost a year. It would be nice to have one of those going to see what everybody’s using. I also miss the old old cult/ Franklin/thca groups from r/. Anyone interested in starting one of those?

    I have a volcano and a script I wrote to control it via a tasmota power plug. Now my computer plays a clip of snoop dogg when I turn it on and when it’s fully heated up. And it automatically turns it off at night if I forget to. I can turn it on from anywhere in the world. I think it’s cool, but who cares?

      We do! Please open-source it, king of stoner engineering!

      (I use the Plenty from time to time, but it kinda sucks)

        Ask and ye shall receive! I’m tacking a GPL 3 license to it. The plugs that play a sound after a delay won’t work on Windows because I use fork(), but I don’t use Windows because fuck Windows. It uses mpv to play sounds, but that is easily changed. AMA.

        Dude honestly the Volcano rules. I’ve had mine almost 20 years now and I’ve had a screw rattle loose and the plastic airflow button broke ($10 part) and that’s it. I also bought a Crafty+ and I hardly ever use it. The Volcano is definitely smoother and I think hits harder. Plus you can see how heavy your dose is about to be as the bag fills. The power plugs I bought came out to like $10 each I think for a pack of 4.

      I can turn it on from anywhere in the world. I think it’s cool, but who cares?

      Inb4 burglars care because it can be used to track when you’re at home and when you’re away on a holiday

      I know the chances are far lower for custom stuff when compared to cheap IP cameras, but having anything open to the internet should leave you extra paranoid.

        It’s actually not open on the internet, it’s only on my LAN. I ssh in to access it if I’m out which is rare so it’s very safe. These Tasmota plugs are great because they use Free software firmware (which I updated from the web, not the manufacturer), I trust them a lot more than any other IOT device.

      I can’t do discord and i don’t want to do r/. Have you bought anything good lately? I do the hoku subscription, but I have a pile of packages that I haven’t even opened. I got a few things from eight horses recently and I’ve been getting the disposable vapes from secret nature.

          I got some gummies from secret nature last week. They’re pretty good. I had a coupon so it was $20 for 5 - 20mg gummies.

          I’m in Texas and have never had an issue with shipments. A few years ago i bought 5# of cbd/cbg flower and it showed up in trash bags inside two big boxes on my porch.

    I am still in love with my Mighty+. You can get a Titanium mouth piece that is pretty sweet, but the rubber to keep it from falling out is garbage. I wrapped a little bit of gaffers tape around it, and that works much better. Otherwise, I use the plastic one.

    I am not the type to buy large collections of dry herb vapes, but ever since my state went legal, the bud must flow. 😁

      For sure the best session portable vape currently, the Venty might be better? I don’t own one and I probably won’t because I like my TM2, but I have heard good things about it. I wouldn’t buy it till the venty+ model releases if they do that because the venty does have some kinks currently.

        Yeah, I don’t have any reason to switch either. It is so stoner friendly with the little vibration reminder, USB-C PD, and you can use it plugged in if you were dumb and never charged it. I am a simple woman. I do complicated shit all day at work, so the little things that should be simple can really matter to me.

    Yes to both lol, the cult is toxic af but on Lemmy I think it’d be great! I’ve spent a frankly embarrassing amount on cult bud so I could contribute a shit ton to a cult community if we had one. I also try to keep up on the news for them and there would be 0 shilling here probably.

    On to the vaporents side, I have a mighty+, (sadly collecting dust, I need to sell it so it gets used, great unit), a tinymight2, and I just pre-order the vapvana screwball that I am super excited for. So I could also make some OC content for that side but not nearly as much as a cult sub. Like you said that one’s dead currently and I don’t buy vapes like bud.

    I suppose for now we could just do all of this on trees? I thought about it but I think long term it may be better to start these communities? Not sure TBH but I would love to see em both!

      I couldn’t get into discord because it seemed like you had to wade through pages of crap and jokes to get to real info. Maybe I’m doing it wrong?
