Just completed a 450mi bike tour. Sorry the site went offline, tried to fix an issue with the mobile version through my phone and it took the whole thing down. Whoops.

I didn't take my laptop, couldn't afford to carry the extra weight with the vapes I took lol.

Hitting the TM2 to relax and pause while thinking about how to fix this so I can ebike the 300 miles back home..

What’s your favorite vape for fixing fucked up problems?

Couldn’t bring everything I wanted to because it was like 500lbs of stuff.

Two of these will run/charge directly from my eBike though (since it’s got a 12v DC system), so they were obvious choices to keep when cutting weight.

Setup a mobile friendly front end at https://m.beyondcombustion.net/

Example link to /c/vaporents

Example link to /c/StonerMemes

Will fix that once I get back from the colo. The docker container wants a reboot for whatever reason, and there's some updates to that front-end pending.

Combusted on the first bowl w/o capsule, so I need to clean it and keep using it for a bit to give good feedback on this thing. In the meantime, here's an unboxing and a couple pics.

Posting multiple pics, let alone videos here sucks. I'm going over to put the 2nd server in the colo this afternoon and hopefully fix that.

Soooo stoked.

Now I can setup an RMA for the USB C on the other one being janked up.

🙏🏼 love this place. Also have to give it up for the boring, yet effective, and efficient workhorse of the vape world; the Mighty.

Hope you all have a dank weekend :-)

To prep for my bike trip, and have some new shit to post about here along the way, I let VAS get me a little today. It'll give me another thing to make videos/pics of too.

• XVape Mambo
• XVape Starry v4
• Flowerpot Tomcat Head to go w/ the DeWalt battery controller
• Mighty with DC barrel plug (It looks like I might have bought their last one)

Pretty excited to try the Mambo! It looks like a neat little entry level vape.

The Tomcat head seems interesting/weight saving if just using herb but wanting to change up bowl style while traveling.

Mighty will let me send my USB C + Mighty in for service, then I'll have two when it's fixed mwahaha.

Then finally the Starry v4 cause the v3 was pretty dope imo, and I was already ordering the Mambo from XVape so fuck it.

https://old.beyondcombustion.net/c/vaporents exists as of yesterday. (expect it to be intermittent for now)

I get a 400 error when signing in, the primary instance is rejecting the "old" one's hostname. That'll get sorted out though.

Figured I'd start a thread on flying with cannabis and vaporizers as I try to decide what device I'm packing this trip...

Here's a few things I've been doing for domestic flights in the US.

1. Be cool. - Literally nobody gives a shit if it's a personal amount.
2. Don't bring a shit ton of cannabis. - Just bring a personal amount for the trip, maybe figure out something at your destination. Don't strap a pound of Purple Urkel Cheetah-piss Haze to your gooch and expect to not get caught.
3. Clean your devices. - At a minimum, you probably needed to clean them. But this helps reduce smell and depending on what it is can make it easier to play off as something different.
4. TSA Doesn't Care - It's not their job. They go through my bag each trip. Never an issue.
5. I was using a Ryot Safe Case and I love it for organization and stuff. Its really nice to toss in a backpack and keep things more protected. I've also just tossed my mighty and a half oz on top of my clothes at home just to open my luggage upon arrival to find one of those TSA inspection sheets next to it, so its not really to hide anything in that case.

YMMV and some states like Texas DO care about you flying in with Cannabis products. Do your own research and asses what you deem as acceptable risk before flying with cannabis.

Anyone else have any experiences or tips? International folks?

The "bones" are getting there.

Way easier to make new pages then GitHub.

1. Go to a URL, if it's not there click "New Page".
2. Then type/paste stuff into it, click save.
3. BOOM a new page is born to help a future "vape curious" individual try a different method of consumption.

In an ideal world

Community members volunteer to moderate whatever, I was going to do a form type thing with LimeSurvey because it's a pretty good tool for an application process. That might be excessive tho, anyone can start a community and if one exists from the bot that was post scraping; make a post/comment in it that you want it and poof we'll get it done.

I want to maintain the infrastructure/script/automate, vape herbs, do dabs, wikifi Wiki things, and figured I'd post vape videos w/the GoPro 11 I picked up for eBike shit for fun too.

*actual eBike stuff I'm keeping separate. However, I am starting what will be a ~400 mile trip on the OTET in 30 days; and the farthest the bike i'm taking has been in a single ride so far was ~30 miles. I will be posting videos of me getting high along the way in here with that DeWalt rig and whatever else I stash in my cargo bike bags.

Authentik helps setup admin delegation with LDAP/SSO, so if someone wants to jump into some backend infra lmk and we'll setup something.

This place is for the community. The more people that help maintain this garden for the general good and the less influence I have over the "social" aspect of this, the better IMO.

----

My minimal guidelines would be

1. Be chill, this is a cannabis forum after all.
2. Post links, pics, vids talking about where your fav vape/bong/glass/pipe was from.
3. Don't sell anything consumable on here. No sales of herb, extract, carts, pens, edibles, drinks, tintcures, anything that's a consumable product.
4. DEVICES and ACCESSORIES like a Mighty, Tinymight, some custom glass for a Carta or PuffCo Peak, 510 Mods, log vapes, DIY/One off vapes/pipes/bags/stems/dab tools/Etsy type shit that Etsy bans. That stuff is fine. AT YOUR OWN RISK. And that needs it's own channel/community(communities) if people are interested in an exchange.
5. Provide citations/sources for posts/comments where needed.
6. Openly discuss safety of equipment/devices and cannabis products.
7. Be mindful of what you post on here. The point is to have the whole server indexed by Google and other search providers and keep the space alive/history documented/growing in the future. (AKA Share Knowledge / Share the vibes. / Don't get me arrested plz. )

I was messing with configuring the OAuth plugin for Discourse to open that up before doing redarc or the database server work for the Vaporents archives. The postgresql w/Lemmy and other dockers needs pointed outside of their containers too and it made sense to do as much of that DB work at one time as possible.

In the meantime (until there's moderators) lol, if there's an issue w/something email support@beyondcombustion.net or send myself or one of the couple mods we do have ( @XpeeN@sopuli.xyz, @Loki, and @imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works ) so far a DM here (or on another subdomain) and we'll help out.

Shaping the Future of Vaporents: Domain Name Feedback Survey - Ends 7/21/23 - 1PM EST

A couple folks have seen this prior to the physical migration of the servers over to a local colocation data center with Cera.net. However, we only had ~20-30 subscribers at that point and received 8 responses (1-2 of them were me testing). Now we've got a couple more folks follwing the community from other servers, and the link here has been put back up on Reddit; so I've re-opened the survey for it's "actual" 7 day run.

Note: ChatGPT did the most of the typing after I dictated some goals to it with the phone app speech-to-text. If it sounds like a robot, it half-is and I didn't take much time to soften the text while building the survey logic.

We invite you to participate in this important survey to help shape the future of the Vaporents community. Your feedback is crucial as we build another platform away from Reddit to establish a new home that better serves our needs. By providing your input, you will have a direct impact on decisions regarding the domain name for the new platform. We value your opinion and appreciate your time in providing your feedback.

> Dear /r/Vaporents Community, > > We are reaching out to you, the 220,000+ subscribers of the Vaporents subreddit, to gather your valuable feedback regarding an important decision for our community. As you know, we are considering transitioning away from Reddit to establish a new home that provides us with a fresh identity and various advantages. One of the primary reasons behind this transition is to create a legal buffer that ensures our community can operate freely. By changing our domain name and platform, we can separate ourselves from any potential legal concerns associated with Reddit, granting us greater autonomy and peace of mind. Furthermore, the move to a new platform will allow us to create a community completely separate from Reddit, enabling our makers, vendors, and users to post links, share pictures, and freely discuss products without constraints in a closed environment. This freedom from censorship will ensure our community can thrive and openly engage in discussions without worrying about their links being removed or their voices being silenced. Moreover, the over-censorship of product links and discussions on Reddit has significantly impacted the visibility and reach of merchants, retailers, and makers within our community impacting their own site traffic and ability to continue operating in this space. By transitioning to a new and open platform, we can reduce these limitations, allowing merchants to regain their footprint and visibility within Google search results. This change is vital in supporting our community's merchants and ensuring a vibrant marketplace for everyone. Additionally, transitioning away from Reddit will help us direct and prevent any additional traffic or ad revenue from flowing to the Reddit platform. This ensures that our community's activities and interactions are no longer contributing to their revenue streams. It is of utmost importance that we continue to openly discuss these products, where to purchase them, raise potential health conserns, and share our experiences without restrictions. By doing so, we can feed this information into search results, enabling individuals new to this space or seeking alternatives to combustion to find the information they need to make informed choices. Your feedback in this survey will play a crucial role in shaping the future of our community. We appreciate your participation and value your insights as we embark on this exciting transition to a new platform. > > Thank you for being a part of Vaporents, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts! > ##### Shaping the Future of Vaporents: Domain Name Feedback Survey - Ends 7/21/23 - 1PM EST > Sincerely, > > @ProfessionalHandJob@lemmy.beyondcombustion.net >

The one I found wasn't in stock and was canceled. Probably from them being so discounted lol. But, it sounds like the inventory finally ran out at S&B and whatever's left is all that's going to be in the retail channel.

Anyone got a lead on one? 🙃

If you were a fan of the DC plug over the USB C that's sad news.

gotta love being able to post links and know they won't be taken down.

This drill battery enail thing from CH looked too weird to not have, so I ordered one when they were recently posted and thought it would be cool to use while traveling, camping, or after biking to a park/whatever.

Now I have to figure out what to put on the coil.... I have a B1, B2, and I think a B-zero around here somewhere..... so any other suggestions on a durable option as a portable ball vape head?

I could take apart something I have, but that's no fun. :-)
