I already had a vg... so I'm good on the torch and chore boy... and even though I want to take a big milky rip right now...that seems like the wrong reason, next planned journey is Wednesday evening I must wait til then to report.

Yeah I find it the most important thing when it comes to maxing the potential of the trip. Because if I think beforehand "thursday might be good day to vape" and then it turns out I have for example even slight feeling of "not the best thing to do now" then if I smoke it doesn't feel like the best thing to do indeed. I think one should journey when he/she totally feels like it, "bring it on"! Happens to me usually about 1-4 times a month and when I smoke I do sessions, so more than single dose and rest is history

I just ordered my GVG today, and have yet to see it work its magic... If you are going to work with crystal and no leaf bed a making a mesh is pretty necessary. I couldn’t comment on how good it is with hash I’m afraid, I only use my GVG for straight crystals. When I can afford it I plan to buy 2 more GVGs, one of which will only be for vaping pot.

Yes, it took me a week of random and surprise mini trips til my old VG was good to go on pot without the surprises. Defintiely just have one for your spice.

It's killer with proper hash or charas, I have even combined DMT and hash(even when I smoke pot very rarely), the taste is incredible from the combination.

You take a piece and make it into a screen, 3-6mm thick and not too much pressed so there's air flowing thru, but not too loose either.

5th Dimensional wrote:I think I will go with the volcano steel mesh it seems...Doesn't the mesh get dirty/full of impurities quickly? How many do you think I should have at hand at one time?
Thanks! No, and its easy to clean anyway. You will only need one. I have made me one a year ago and never needed new one You may need more of them if you think of pre-loading them with spice. This way you can just load them all with desired amount and enjoy without using scale again in one session. And if you can get copper mesh go for it its better then steel.

Thanks! Sure, but if you fail with it I recommend you get some mesh, copper is best, you can get it on ebay if not locally available.

The steel pad is dense, but the wire is round, and that caused in my experience dripping material. It's also made of finer wire and that makes slightly more difficult to make perfect fitting screen. One also has to be careful to remove any small wire pieces, as in worst case they might end up in one's throat, but unlikely of course... I think it's better to be slightly loose to allow good airflow. Chore boy copper scrubber mesh works best for me, is cheap on ebay(even cheaper if locally available) and one pack of them lasts me for very long time, while the liquid pads have rather high price for two pads. 5th Dimensional wrote:Why is the copper better than steel?
I tried stainless steel mesh once and it gave metallic taste. But maybe it was poor quality... When I tried liquid pad it gave no metallic taste, probably because it was better quality stainless steel

Well, just bought a GVG. Can't wait to get it and try some spice for the first time ever.
I just want to claify one thing. When melting the spice onto the screen or onto the copper ball, you don't actually touch the flame to the spice, right? You heat up the screen or the copper ball and then put the spice onto it?
Is it best to have someone with you when you vape your spice so the GVG doesn't fall out of your hand and/or get pushed off the bed or couch or whatever?
Thanks.

Thanks. Just use a cone to pour the spice in the middle of the mesh screen and then apply the ceramic filter and use your lighter and inhale slowly to melt it. Then you can start again and inhale everything you can. There are other methods, too... Just put the pipe to your side after you stop inhaling(quickly)

I want to be blown away....I've taken large doses of shrooms many times and I love that...but I am really excited to experience the spice..

Just get some mg scales if you don't have them already(in addition to torch lighter and mesh). Trust me you don't want to be blown away so far you won't want to do it again. Try to take it in single inhalation after you have practiced with temp adjustment. I suggest starting low, about 12 mg in single inhalation, then working one's way up to 25-30mg in single inhalation. Remember it's also important to keep it down for some time, at least 7 seconds. But I guess you know that already. There's plenty of info here on nexus on succesful vaping.

Thanks man. Yeah, I went and got a mg scale a few weeks ago. I just need to go get a torch lighter. I will start like you said with a low dose and go from there.
