This is and has been my preferred method. It sure does get the job done. I usually have it set @ 7.5 on the knob.. Not sure what temp that is. One Thing I've noticed is that after several uses, there can be some buildup of residue. I once turned it on with nothing in it and it spewed out vapour.. I put the bag in and collected it, and to my surprise, it gave me a wonderful sub breakthrough.. I've also revaped 5 or 6 sessions worth of the left over plant material I used as a bed and have had sub breakthrough experiences with that also.. That being said, I think it is possible for some spice to escape vaporization, but only very minimal amounts. - I have not used the liquid pad though.. It could make a difference.
Once I let it clear out, there was no smell left over when using it for MJ. I reccomend changing the bag or having a dedicated bag though, as it will hold the smell.
- haha.. As far as the crinkling noise of the bag.. I have associated it very much with entry to hyperspace.. oh that noise!!!.. if someone touches the bag while I'm off guard, I get ready.. lol.. The sound is not bothersome at all though..
I agree with the above as far as easiness goes.. Also 3 big hits is what I get out of it.
I have also had Long experiences with this technique.. a hour with afterglow is fairly normal for me. I sometimes feel like I can sustain the vision and keep going a bit longer than with other methods; so I do not call BS on that.
I did the same thing, when I first tried this technique, with the dose guesstimating. Just tapped some in... i ended up doing about 200mg!!! oops.. I was IN hyperspace for about 40 mins.. nearly 2 hours all together with the most serious afterglow I've ever experienced.. But that was way more life shattering than I had bargained for and would not reccomend it!!! Since getting familiar with the technique, I can get wonderful breakthrough experiences off as little as 20 mg.
