  • There’s a few spiders that do this (I know some orb-weavers do) and IIRC scientists don’t know for sure why, though it’s been hypothesized that it could be either to confuse potential predators or to make themselves and their webs obvious to larger animals.

    Some orb weavers like Argiopes even make a thick zigzag construction in their web called a stabilimentum that we don’t really understand the function of, but one theory is to make the web more visually obvious so larger animals don’t accidentally barrel into them.

    Spiders are neat.











  • It’s portable for sure, but as it’s manually heated I would say it doesnt feel super discrete. I mostly use it at home because I love the function and I medicate all day. It’s great for taking on the trail or hitting in the car, etc but I would feel wierd heating it up out in public even here in OR (i feel far more comfortable w/ my Crafty and dosing pods if I’m sneaking a puff while out and about).

    It can be heated with just about any heat source but ive found a little butane torch lighter is convenient, relatively discrete and easier than a traditional BiC type lighter (which takes forever and doesn’t heat very evenly).





  • I have fallen in love with hitting my Dynavap through a 12" beaker bong. Basically it’s the best of both worlds in my opinion. Amazing flavor, good solid throat hit, dense clouds, and I love taking a couple big full flavor rips from the full size bong. Adding a little bubble hash ups the ante even further. The Dyna B is only like $40 as well, it really is a great entry to vaping.

    I’m sure everyone is different but I smoke far less and enjoy the high more now. I had basically quit smoking via combustion entirely and was dabbing 6-7g of concentrates each week. I spend prob 1/3 less than i used to, but I could and should be spending less. Now that I can actually taste the flower though, I’ve been buying smaller quantities… of more expensive weed.

    The fact that I switched from dabs (and lots of them) to vaping flower says a lot. I still mix it up with dabs (esp for flavor) but the high from vaping flower is just a more well-rounded effect.

    There is an adjustment period where the hits don’t feel as satisfying as smoke (or a thick dab) at first, but that passed quickly for me.
