(Part 3) Top products from r/saplings

Personally I would go with a decent quartz banger. Those glass nails, like the one that comes with your piece, are prone to break - but it is still very usable.

With the piece you linked, you'll need a 14mm female. Here is a very basic article on glass joint sizes and male/female genders - edit: looking for a better reference.

The general rule of thumb for male and female joints is if it inserts INTO a glass joint it is a male - Think penis. If it slides OVER a glass joint it is a female - Think vagina.

For example, the glass dome (and the bowl) on the piece you linked is a female joint because it slides over the male joint (not pictured) on the downstem.

While Ti nails are perfectly fine, I prefer quartz. I think the flavor is better, but this is just my opinion. There are a lot of options out there for nails, try them out and find what suits your tastes.

You can get along just fine with a banger by itself but, to get the most out of it you should learn how to use a carb cap. There is a learning curve with everything but through trial and error you'll eventually get to MLG360no-dome globfather status in no time.

As far as domed vs domeless, the piece you linked comes with a glass dome, which you would need if you used just a regular nail insert such as the glass one that comes with your piece. Here is an example of a domeless Ti nail, and here is one similar to yours with a dome and Ti nail insert.

Notice how the domeless nail has a an opening, or channel, in the middle for the vapor to flow through as you inhale. You don't need a dome to capture the vapor with a domeless nail. This is really the difference between the two types as the standard nail insert is basically a solid dish with no airways on the surface.

There are many styles of domeless nails but hopefully this will give you a general idea about the differences between the two.

I should add that with a domeless nail, you won't need a dome, but you will want to learn how to use a carb cap. Also, as /u/snobord mentioned, the carb caps are going to be different depending on what type of nail you decide to use. If they don't match up or properly restrict airflow, the caps will not work as intended. So be sure to do your research before deciding to pull the trigger.

You'll also need a dabber or dab tool to apply your concentrates to your nail. Personally, I use a Ti dabber with a ball point tip because it makes it easier for me to collect my rosin after I press it. There are a lot of options for dabbers as well and really I think it comes down to personal preference.

>The type of your concentrate is going to affect the kind of dabber you want to use. The ball point wouldn't be ideal for crumble, for example. I personally bought a stainless steel wax carver set from Amazon so I'd have all the bases covered.

Finally, you're going to need some sort of storage container for your concentrates like a wax wallet or something similar. A quick google search should point you in the right direction.

>As for the silicone containers, bought 10ish (don't remember exactly) of them last year, used them one or twice and basically haven't touched them since. The main reason is I pick up from dispensaries and it comes prepackaged in half/one gram packs and the process of transferring it over isn't even worth the effort. This is definitely a matter of opinion though so my point is just that op should try it out before buying a bunch.

Several edits later: If I missed the mark on anything let me know. Op, hopefully if I wasn't able to answer your questions someone more experienced can chime in and get you on the right path.

Good luck, and happy dabbing!

If I had $50, and wanted to spend all of it, I'd go with a couple simple things!

1. Grap a decent (like $20 decent) pipe at your local smoke shop. I ended up using mine for a while before I upgraded, but I love it all the same and still go back to it sometimes for the nostalgia!
   
   
2. Grinders make it much easier to smoke joints or blunts! I got this one (http://www.amazon.com/Cali-Crusher-Grinder-Piece-Black/dp/B004VAZ0JQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1425339033&sr=1-4&keywords=grinder) and it hasn't let me down almost a year later! Perfect small size and theres plenty of room to store bud if your on the go!
   
   
3. With a grinder you could pick up some papers with the rest of the money, but lets be real, you can just save it to buy more bud :D
   
   Hopes this is a good start! PM me if you have any more questions and happy toking!

That one is by far my favorite. It's tiny so you can bring it anywhere and it always grinds everything perfectly, no matter how much you shove in.

I also got this one earlier, it's pretty good too and comes with two screen and a pollen press that's very useful. I pretty much just use it for storage and keef sifting because the two peaice grinds so much better (in general a two piece is going to grind much much better than one with extra chambers)

ive had success with DHgate glass, but i would recommend this grinder ive been using it for 2 years now and it hasnt let me down. the best part is it says "kitchen accessories" on the top which everyone gets a kick out of

Oh I did. It's awesome. I have read a bunch of stuff of his. Have you read this? It's a very good (however long) read. It's a bunch of letters and stories written by his friends trying to capture what Hunter went through during his life.

This is my favorite, of the one's I've used. It's small enough to fit in a pocket easily, it grinds to the perfect level, and can go through anything. It's preformed the same as any sharpstone/whatever expensive grinders I've tried. I assume the 4 piece by the same company preforms the same, I just don't really care for saving keef.

The other one I have is like this. I can't find the exact grinder because the seller updated the listing to this one, but it was basically the same thing I think. 5 piece (I take out one of the screens and keep it as backup), really big, with lots of storage space. Doesn't grind too fine unless you hold it upside down, but when you do it works just like any two piece. Lots of storage for ground up buds / keef, just don't expect to carry it around unless you have a winter coat or something.

I would say spend some extra cash and get a really nice quality grinder. Yes, its expensive, but think of it as an investment. I dropped $60 on one a while back and I don't think I'll ever need another one (unless, of course, I lose this one). I love compton grinders, and santa cruz shredders are also very popular and seem to be good quality. However if you are sent on a $30 limit I would suggest a sharpstone or a cali crusher.

I use an electric coffee grinder if I'm prepping for cooking with it. Other wise I just stick to my good ol' herb grinder.

You should invest in an actual space case to get the most out of your stash. It grinds very finely and seeds and stems tend to just sit on top of all the grounds. It also catches and saves keif that you probably lose on the walls of your coffee grinder. Plus you don't have to plug it in, which is nice.

If you want perfect cigarette-sized joints, get a roller. They're cheap & produce consistent, reliable results.

This is probably the best summary of this topic I've ever seen, professional articles included. I would only add one point and possibly disagree with another.

The type of your concentrate is going to affect the kind of dabber you want to use. The ball point wouldn't be ideal for crumble, for example. I personally bought a stainless steel wax carver set from Amazon so I'd have all the bases covered.

As for the silicone containers, bought 10ish (don't remember exactly) of them last year, used them one or twice and basically haven't touched them since. The main reason is I pick up from dispensaries and it comes prepackaged in half/one gram packs and the process of transferring it over isn't even worth the effort. This is definitely a matter of opinion though so my point is just that op should try it out before buying a bunch.

There's a 40 oz. one here on Amazon for under $20. I went to a pet store too and i got one about half that size for $20+tax haha

According to my ophthalmologist, eye drops such as Visine and Rohtos aren't so great to put in your eyes when you're wearing contacts. Something about how they degrade your contacts or something, so instead I use these. They help with the dryness of contacts after you smoke, which in turn clears up that redness in your eyes. They work for me at least and make my contacts feel much better after I smoke. I actually use them whenever my contacts get a little dry, so they're great for that too!

That my friend, is a kazoo.

You can use mason jar, but it is easily breakable. And where can you hold it? I used them before, but once I threw my backpack in my mom’s
car and all my stuff was all around and the jar was smashed. From time till now, I’m using smell proof bag. I bought this after a while and now all my stuff are in same place.

Tolerance depends on how frequently you smoke, how much you smoke, and how long you've been smoking. It also depends on your weight and how much fat you have (THC is fat soluble).

I'm cutting back from a bowl a day right now. A bowl-a-day habit will build up tolerance rather quickly.

My recommendation: cut off weed. Taper your consumption if necessary. After 2-3 weeks or so, [drug test](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001YYTDLS/sr=1-2/qid=1309915911/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1309915911&sr=1-2&seller= "You can also get the strips at your local pharmacy.") yourself. If you fail, keep testing every so often.

Once you're clean, your tolerance should be back down to the point where a small bowl is adequate.

I would suggest this it comfortably holds a cheap lighter, papers, a two-piece grinder and some weed and is way less messy than the shampoo bottle suggestion. Wrap it in socks or something to prevent it from appearing during a casual rifle through your luggage that your family might do. Handle it carefully to prevent the scent transferring from the weed, to your hands, to the external parts of the box. Even though it can hold all that I would still suggest pre-rolling as it's such a short trip. You never know when such a container could come in handy though.

So I found it is actually an oil and vinegar bottle haha.

I'm a bit late on this, but any of these are amazing:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000UMG3MM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I throw all my stinky weed in this and you can't smell it even if you hang from the ceiling.

Any place that sells glass pieces should carry it. They are pricy, about $20-$30. But if you fail you get a refund (from the good ones). You can also check amazon for detox drinks, like this one.

if hes your only source, buy a scale.

http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Scale-Bt2-201-Digital/dp/B001TZ92TK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1341864444&sr=8-2&keywords=american+weigh+scale+.001

my dealer even borrows my scale to weigh stuff out when she comes over. Its useful and makes sure everyones accurate and honest. If its off, mention next time "hey i was off a bit last time and i hate to split hairs but i wanna monitor how much i smoke"

he should take the polite hint and it shouldnt be an issue

remember to learn to "tare" the bag [it subtracts the weight of the container for you]

Here's literally the same model I have. Guess they went down in price hella since I bought one. Diamond Grind 4 Piece Aluminum Herb Grinder with screen 63mm (2.50") SILVER https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XKLKWWV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RzW5CbESHB9ED

It isn't your weight, it is how fast your body metabolizes THC once it is in you that decides your high.

You are probably moving your storage jar around a lot and the trichomes are falling off and sticking to the sides. The more you touch or move your bud the more likely you are to mess it up.

Buy a mason jar and keep your stash in there, leave it in a dark place and don't move it until you need to. A good one made of thick glass costs about $20.

Keep a few nugs stored outside so you don't jostle your storage jar around too much. I just fill my grinder.

Wth, no do not use a metal screen in a glass pipe. If you are going to get screens, do it properly please.
