How to vape

Arts and Entertainment, Vaping - Josephine - September 20, 2020

The benefits of going over to a sub-ohm build as you buy vape liquid yourself for the process.

  • None You will get some amazing big and dense clouds – you have an intense vapor production
  • None The sub-ohm builds are bigger, and so, fresh organic cotton can be used around a more stable heat source (the coil) which delivers a better flavor experience.
  • None Since the coils are bigger, a bigger area is being heated up which means that the smoke also becomes warmer and resembles more closely the sensation of smoking a cigarette. Thankfully the increased air-flow of these tanks or attys still cool down that vapor somewhat and to your desired outcome.

Sub-ohm builds have become more popular and common for these reasons. In the past, you had to make coils yourself with either kanthal, stainless steel, nickel, or titanium wire. All of which have different resistance properties. Those coils would be put into an RDA (regulated dripping atomizer) that was run through a mechanical mod or digital mod. In order for this to work, you needed to be quite knowledgeable. Basic understanding of ohms law and how to make coils was a must.

Luckily, today we can find a lot of equipment running sub-ohm builds for all of you that don’t have the time to dwell in the specifics of vaping. All it takes is for you to ask for a sub-ohm tank at your local vape shop or on google and you’ll find some great results. Those tanks have pre made coils at the sub-ohm level, however, don’t forget to purchase replacement coils for those sub-ohm tanks. Sadly all tanks and attys need maintenance, you can’t keep on vaping on the same coil for a year. It will get gunked up by all the different juices you have used and the cotton most probably will be somewhat burnt at that point. So if you want to continuously enjoy the flavor of your juices, change those coils at least once every other week or once a month. Of course, this is dependant on how much you vape, but use that as a rule of thumb.

Rebuildable tanks and attys on the other hand lets you build your own coils so you can decide which metal and coil you wish to build, but this is for more advanced uses. You want to read up more on how to go about things if you wish to work with that equipment.

All this sounds great! Why would anyone not want more vapor, more flavor with the actual sensation of smoking? Well, sub-ohm builds are notorious for combusting more E-juice which is the reason you are getting more smoke and flavor, so investing in bigger bottles that will last you a while is commonly a good decision when swapping over to sub-ohm builds.

Additionally, the inhaling technique used when vaping sub-ohm is not that of mouth to lung hits that the traditional smoker is known for. Deep breaths straight to the lungs are the way forward if you don’t want to end up coughing with a sub-ohm build. This technique is something that the people competing in cloud chucking competitions will work on, if you are looking to blow the biggest clouds out of your friend circle be sure to check them out. As the deep breaths’ lead to bigger vapor clouds, for the stealthy, vaping ninja however that might not be favorable. If you are using e-cigarettes as a means to not touch cigarettes and don’t want a lot of attention your way when smoking. Bigger clouds might not be the right way for you.

Sub ohming seems to be what more and more vapers want to get into. It produces great results, sadly at a higher price tag as you will be using more E-juice than you might currently be using and the equipment for it costs more than your clearomizers over 1 ohm. This being said, sub-ohm vaping does require more vigilance from your side as you need to be more knowledgeable about the equipment you are using. Getting a regulated digital box mod for this is a good way to go about things if you wish to switch to sub-ohm vaping. It will make sure that your builds don’t overheat and you can be more exact with the power used. I would recommend the Joyetech VTC mini. This way you avoid the most risk involved with sub ohming. Thank you technology for taking care of us!

I hope this article has clarified some of your questions regarding this style of vaping. It is a lot of fun to play around with and the results are fantastic but I realize it is not for everyone. Whatever way you choose to vape, be sure you are doing so in a safe manner. This substitute that started as a means to quit smoking has quickly grown into more of a hobby and I hope your interest grows in that direction as well. I welcome you to the world of sub-ohm vaping.

Feds Stop Medical Marijuana Charges Dispensary Raids

Cbd - Josephine - September 17, 2020

The DEA needs to stop their prosecution of medical marijuana dispensaries and attacking medical marijuana in those states where medical marijuana is legal. It is ludicrous, doesn’t the federal government respect states’ rights anymore? Marijuana may be illegal in the government’s eye, but if the states legalized it for medical use, shouldn’t that mean something to the government? Surely this doesn’t mean the states are going to run wild and start legalizing other drugs like heroin for recreational use, or start passing insane laws. If that was the case this would be much more understandable, but the fact is the states legalized marijuana for a purpose that was well documented by research, and Obama even said it himself that the feds were going to stop raiding medical marijuana dispensaries. Where is that policy now that Obama has been president for a year or so?

Here is an editorial from the Aurora Sentinel on this subject:

Good for the handful of state lawmakers who are leaning on the federal government to back off of running raids on those involved in the state’s medical marijuana controversy, but it’s not good enough.

State Senators Chris Romer, a Denver Democrat, and Nancy Spence, an Aurora Republican, wrote to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency to demand that officials there not conduct any further raids while the state sorts out regulating this blossoming and troublesome industry. The charges of the cbd oil for pain are under the budget of the people. The spending of the time and efforts is great to meet the desired results. The purchasing of the oil is made after checking the reviews and ratings. The allotment of the time and money is excellent for the purchase of cbd oil.

The DEA raided the home of a Highlands Ranch man last month after he bragged on a local TV station that he had a few hundred pot plants he was growing for medical marijuana shops and expected to make hundreds of thousands of dollars doing it. That prompted the DEA to swoop in and arrest him, and then brag that the operation of the man and others like him are all illegal. All that after the Obama administration had announced that it would “look the other way” in states like Colorado that had legalized medical marijuana as officials tried to sort out regulations.

The local DEA agent who apparently led the raids, Jeffrey Sweetin, added insult to injury of state residents by telling reporters that he didn’t think marijuana had any medical uses anyway.

Romer and Spence are right in asking Attorney General Eric Holder to call off Sweetin.

Even more bothersome was that Sweetin ordered the raid of two businesses that said they were setting up as laboratories to test the potency and impurities in medical marijuana.

Romer and Spence are backing a measure that would require those growing medical marijuana to add their names to a state registry that would be kept secret from the public or federal officials. It’s a good idea, which Sweetin’s raids are undermining right now. These raids did nothing but further complicate and already unwieldy situation.

It’s not enough for Holder to just muzzle the DEA on this matter for the time being. Holder needs to step in and have the DEA drop these charges.

The president, Congress, the governor and the state Legislature all disagree with a handful of local DEA agents that this is a matter for the state to sort out. And those efforts are under way.

Holder must set the clock back on the DEA arrest and allow the state to do the work almost everyone wants it to.

The Rising Price Of Medical Marijuana

Health - Josephine - September 17, 2020

Growing Medical Marijuana has been legalized in a number of states now, including the states of Colorado and Washington where Medical-grade Marijuana can now be purchased for recreational use. However, legal mail order weed Canada does not come cheap. According to Forbes, legal, Medical-grade Marijuana from a licensed vendor increased in cost following legalization in the city of Denver from around 20$ to as much as $70 for an eighth of an ounce.

The reason for this increase in cost is one of demand. Licensed Vendors are required by law to obtain their supply from Licensed Growers, and in states where Marijuana can be grown legally like Colorado, there are hidden roadblocks to its cultivation. Back in May, the Bureau of Reclamation announced to licensed growers that they will not be permitted to use federal irrigation waters for their crops.

The long arm of the Department Of Justice and Drug Enforcement Agency maintain that such laws are essential to preventing the uncontrolled distribution of Marijuana throughout the United States, which is creating caustic outcries from supporters of Marijuana legalization that suspect the money that the Government puts towards suppressing Mexican drug cartels is motivating these extreme tactics.

Between the cost of obtaining stock and the undoubtedly steep cost of finding a private money holder (as most licensed Vendors will be required to do with current regulations), it is ineluctable that the price of Marijuana has increased with the increasing demand for it. Increasing the sale of legal marijuana in the US has the potential to stimulate the economy and to squash the sales made by illegal drug cartels, which is something that our Federal Government should be interested in making a reality given its historic stance. Illegal drug cartels are responsible for innumerable violent crimes and drug-related hospitalizations that have nothing to do with the biological effects of Marijuana.

While the recent mood of the DEA has many pro-Marijuana advocates on the verge of shouting conspiracy, it’s probably better to try addressing the unreasonably steep costs of Medical-grade Marijuana without inflaming them. The US government does not feel that Marijuana belongs in the hands of everyone obviously, and there is no definitive clinical proof as of yet to invalidate their position on this issue.

But the cost that individuals with diseases that have been approved for treatment with Medical Marijuana must be addressed somehow. No insurance plans that cover Medical Marijuana treatment exist in the US because the Food and Drug Administration still has not approved Marijuana. The process of lowering the cost of individual treatment—about 1,000$ per month—will be a long one if the Federal Government does not budge from its position. The clinical conclusions regarding the many compounds found in marijuana other than delta-nine-tetrahydrocannabinol would precede the FDA approval of the plant, and these results could still be decades off.

Washington State Authorizes Medical Marijuana Testing Facility

Cbd - Josephine - September 16, 2020

Washington State’s Liquor Control Board has just approved Analytical 360, which shows guidelines on how they will roll out the medical and recreational marijuana market, in addition to a state licensed testing facility which will be operational this June. This first state certified lab will conduct tests to accurately measure the amount of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, and a cannabinoid that perhaps has medicinal qualities, and the ever-popular CBD, which is non-psychoactive and is said to have miraculous healing properties for epileptics, MS sufferers, and for other serious chronic illnesses.

The news that came out a few years back was that State licenses 2 more recreational cannabis stores, which is a welcome oasis as this has opened up a bigger platform for people to venture into this process because marijuana has some excellent medicinal benefits that are quite useful in treating ailments and even eases the side effects of chemotherapy to a large extent as many patients suffering from cancer have had only positive things to say about it and CBD oil is an added bonus.

Analytical 360 is the process that the lab will use to determine how much THC and CBD is contained within marijuana. It uses two processes ultraviolet spectroscopy and liquid chromatography to accurately determine the levels of these cannabinoids or marijuana compounds. Gas chromatographic testing is another method but it is far less accurate. Medical marijuana growers will have their crop brought to Analytical 360 to certify the levels of THC and CBD for different perscriptions and for different effects. Marijuana, for instance for a child with a severe epileptic condition, would be given a high CBD low THC form of marijuana, whereas someone suffering from severe pain may be given one that has THC. Besides Analytical 360 other licenses for labs are being considered in Washington State.

The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) Washington State director, Kevin Oliver, made a statement saying, “There are currently about 40 license processors and producers, but as of yet there are no licensed retailers.” Oliver went on to say that, “Given that there will ultimately be hundreds and hundreds of retailers and thousands of producers and processors, it is clear that dozens if not hundreds of more testing labs are going to be needed as well.” Standardization is an important process to be implemented by any industry so that it will operate safely within that given state. Washington State saw the rollout of Colorado’s recreational marijuana program and thinks it has learned a few lessons. Accurate labeling, packaging and testing have all been issues that the industry has been struggling with but will quickly find solutions to. Some people have been sickened by marijuana laced products that were too strong. And there has been the perennial worry of keeping marijuana laced sweets away from children.

There have been other real-life controversies, however, such as an African university student who died in Colorado after eating a marijuana laced cookie. Another man who ate marijuana laced candy shot his wife. Though Washington State hopes to better control it’s rollout and have it be more subdued, analysts believe that sooner a later something will occur that regulators and others overlooked or failed to see coming. Of course this is the case with any burgeoning industry. Analysts believe more discoveries into the uses of medical marijuana and more scrutiny of edible products will lead to labs becoming an integral part of the whole process.

Shop Vac – A Winner for Your Shop for the robot cleaner vacuum

Home Improvement - Josephine - September 13, 2020

The Shop Vac Corporation markets themselves as a research and engineering leader when it comes to wet-dry vacs. The company has been in business for more than 40 years, making them one of the oldest manufacturers of wet-dry vacuum cleaners. Additionally, they are a maker of industrial, commercial, and consumer products, which makes them a jack of all trades in the vacuum industry.

Shop Vac has a policy of continuous improvement. That means that products change and improve often, keeping consumers and companies in a position to buy the latest and greatest whenever they may be in the market for a vacuum or even just parts.

Shop Vacs have many advantages, but it should be noted that they are designed mainly to be used in the garage, basement, or outside. This is not a traditional indoor carpet vacuum, though it could possibly be used if need be.

On the positive side, Shop Vacs have incredible suction power for both dry and wet clean up. For the amount of power they put out, they are also incredibly light and easy to move around on their wheels. The filter is effective and parts seem to be fairly durable and easy to get online or in stores when needed. Also, for the capacity, power, and ease of use you end up with the price is great. For the best prices, it is suggested that you look for your shop vac online.

Shop Vacs do have a few cons as well. For one, the accessory holder has a tendency to come off easily and could be a little better made. Also, the machine is loud…it is really loud. The power does come at a price and the sound is that price, but since it is usually used outside or in industrial type settings, this is not a huge issue for most people who are in the market for this particular vacuum.

The cleaning of the closets and curtains is great to meet the cleaning requirements. It can be kept under the beds and desks for less storage consumption in the house. In contrast, traditional or regular vacuum will require more space for storing in home. The regular cleaner will require larger space to the cleaning of the floors and curtains. The control over the quale robot aspirapolvere is great to get the right results. The charges of the cleaners are kept low for the benefit of the people. 

Overall, the shop vac is a huge seller for a reason. With superior suction power worthy of industrial as well as consumer level work, it also offers light weight and a great price for the value. The only real drawback is that it is not the best machine for use on the carpets indoors, and it is very loud. However, for what it is designed for, the Shop Vac is an easy 9 out of 10.
