    I mean, by like Group Policy, sure, but typically random websites don’t get to set policy on machines that visit them!

    I can’t think of any server -side implementation that would achieve that, and no client-side scripts should have that access/privilege. At that point, your “browser” is full RAT/malware anyway







  • Good question! It actually has a much more distinct click, and ‘they’ say this vape is all about riding the line (RTL, for those unfamiliar with the phrase, means “riding the line” between vaping and combustion, so a full spectrum big hit is the goal. Not for temp steppers!); which the clicks facilitate.

    It uses convection, mostly; the actual chamber is kinda suspended in the oven - you heat the oven, then inhalation draws hot air through the chamber, vaopourising the material.

    It has some detractors, largely (as often seems to be the case in vaping world) based on the maker, Vestratto, which I won’t rehash here, but in that respect is remarkably similar to recent drama surroudnding Dynavap and Simrell, for instance. So there are parallels that extend beyond the form factor/tech!

    I think it’s not too controversial to say that most of those who hate it don’t have one and wouldn’t get one, while those who have one tend to love it and discount the drama.

    I love it! i actually use it most on a Simrell MVS, I find it smoother than the stock stem.










  • Nothing savage about blazin da herb, although it’s definitely not the best for your health. I started smoking spliffs when I was 13, so the muscle memory and association means that as soon as I start rolling I get this Pavlovian relaxation effect, no actual combusion/ingestion required. I’m not quite there with vaping, which I’ve “only” been doing for about nine years. I still have the occasional zoot, but for health reasons I try to restrict it to holidays and special occasions. But nothing wrong with bunning the occasional zoot, I reckon, whatever the purists might say.

    Yeah, from my perspective, the main reason you use water with combustion is to cool the smoke down so it’s not as harsh. Vapour is cooler than smoke, and if you put your vapour through water, it stands to reason that you are going to filter out some small percentage of the volatile terpenes etc. At the very least, it doesn’t taste as fruity; and at worst you’re reducing the amount of good stuff getting to your lungs. I can see how if you have particularly sensitive lungs/throat, that might be a trade-off you’re willing to take. At least one of my mates finds even vapour too harsh for them, and for them I think water might be a good choice. I also think that for vaping, if you are going to use water, warm water makes sense. Again, we’re not really going for cooling; and adding moisture back into the dry vapour would make sense from that perspective for smoothness’ sake.

    The Kaiju Crush is a solid brew. Aus has a thriving microbrewery industry, and I always like choosing a six pack of something I haven’t trtied before. I’m also partial to a cup of tea with my cannabis partaking, whether vaping or combustion.


  • Hah! I have the GRAV j-hook, and I have to confess I’ve never put water in it; I can def see the appeal of the eloquently-described purring sensation. As I noted in that other post, I rarely put water in ‘water’ pieces, but you make it sound eminently attractive.

    I have to say I’m surprised the TM hasn’t found a home in your bounteous collection. As far as battery portables go, it’s pretty nearly end-game for what I would imagine would be a majority of users. There are more powerful vapes, and more beatiful ones, but not available without going on waiting lists and shit; ain’t nobody got time for that. Well, maybe I do. But I don’t have the budget at this stage.


  • No worries! It’s a great vape, I suspect any detractors have not got the technique down pat (altho, as I prove, you don’t need to have perfect technique to enjoy it!). It is often described as functional art, and I have to say I can’t disagree. It’s definitely a connoisseur’s vape - not in a snobby way, but those who just want to get from A to B as fast as possible will likely have no truck with it; it’s something to be savoured and enjoyed, for those who enjoy the Ritual™. If that’s you, and you like butane vapes, it’s a lock afaiac.
