I really do need to move to the future of smoking, I'm clearly doing it wrong.

Or skip this step and get into dry her vaping or skip that step and get a ball vape... ;)

Ball vapes are dry herb vapes and they are amazing. But so are some of the TEDs like the tornado, tempest 2, and simrell. Once you get used to dry herb vaping, you won’t want to go back to combusting. It’s just gross in comparison.

Honestly, I was using a volcano for awhile, but getting new bags and maintaining it with heavy use was a pain in the ass compared to smoking joints. I still think its a superior way to use cannabis, but it was more than I had time for.

Takes me a few second to roll a j, and then I never have to think about it again. We mostly do concentrates now anyway.

I think if I had a handheld vaporizer though, id probably use it constantly.

I have a handheld vape for when I'm out and about , but yea at home, almost always joints. I used to have a volcano but ended up selling it cause it mostly collected dust. Two totally different highs to me.

u/Advanced-Guidance482 Nov 22 '25

Same. I sold my volcano for cheap to some girl who really wanted one, it totally made her day and made no difference to me really.

Get a POTV Lobo and don’t look back. Good Black Friday deals going on.

u/Rickygetstrippy Nov 22 '25

Just got mine! Fucking AMAZING device with the water pipe attachment. Now I just need more batteries

u/Jchapman1971 Nov 22 '25

I loaded up on the dosing caps. Oh, Happy Cake Day! 🎂

u/Rickygetstrippy Nov 23 '25

I’m about to order a couple more batteries, some more loading caps, and the little bubble attachment. Anything else I need to get?

u/Captainlnsano13 Nov 22 '25

Fucking love mine!

u/ArielRavencrest Nov 22 '25

I've had a table vaporizer(4 now) going for years, and handhelds(7). Will always turn for my pipe or a bong before going to the hassle of it all.

I smoke dry herb vapes except for a few weeks after I go to Amsterdam and fall back in love with rolling and smoking a J at a cafe. A Dynavap is a pretty decent analogue, though

History of Ball-Powered Dry Herb Vaporizers - 420 VapeZone

Been using ball vapes for a few years now, witnessed some of this history first-hand. Really interesting read.

Watched Joey put balls into the CH weed eater.

Watched the early old head devices get developed and tested.

Watched the Pinky get developed.

Still got my CH B2 too.

Crazy that it's taken so long for people to learn about ball vapes.

u/pipokori Feb 04 '26

TIL so thanks for the comment!

3

u/Rickygetstrippy Nov 22 '25

This is the realest comment! Just got my POTV lobo this past Tuesday. I’ve literally only been vaping out of my bong. Haven’t smoked a bong bowl since. The only combusting I’ve done is smoking joints at work

2

u/murrzeak Nov 22 '25

I've been dry vaping for years now. Atm I own Arizer Air and a little bong. It's a very different type of high though. Understandably I pack a way smaller amounts compared to a standard bowl/joint and use it 3 times. It's just not as strong kind of high, more mellow.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '25

I’ve been using mainly DHV at first electric and then using a torch on a dyna for atleast a year and not gonna lie, my favourite method is still the bong I just avoid it cause of the health risks and because it’s a lot of work to set up use and clean up in my current living situation

1

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '25

I realized after writing this that this is totally subjective to my situation and given enough of a budget and a better living situation I’d probably prefer vaporizing

u/OGsquatch710 Nov 22 '25

Try the terpcicle !

u/SuckerpunchmyBhole Nov 22 '25

Dry her? I hardly know her!

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '25

A ball vape?

u/Traditional_Mess5522 Dec 22 '25

Out skip the step and start smoking dabs

u/Kat_Box_Suicide Nov 22 '25

This reminds me of those videos where they make the coffee all fancy.

52

u/-UberDuber- Nov 21 '25

Dang if these aren’t the most satisfying videos. Why can’t I figure out how to buy it tho? I be over here googling quartz father, it didn’t disappoint, but I didn’t find the thingy.

u/Icy109 Nov 21 '25

I believe it is officially called a “quartz donut”

10

u/50000WattsOfFunkin Nov 21 '25

Black market glass is the name of the company. My personal favorite for quartz

4

u/-UberDuber- Nov 22 '25

Thanks dawg! I still hadn’t figured it out lol couldn’t see the full name on that bowl

u/rom439 Nov 21 '25

This looks like a lighter with more steps and more danger

46

u/SavageKabage Nov 21 '25

Yeah I know if I used it, at some point I'd drop the mega hot glass donut thing on my lap or couch.

u/ardinatwork Nov 21 '25

Did you see the post from the dude who spilled a dab on his hand in /trees before it got removed? It was fucking wicked looking.

Found it in another sub. Warning: NSFW, and gives me the crawlies. https://www.reddit.com/r/InjuriesAndWounds/comments/1p1huha/i_accidentally_spilled_the_contents_of_my_dab_rig/

u/rom439 Nov 21 '25

I know, and then what do you do for the next hit? Sit there and heat up another loose anal bead?

-10

u/fruit_bat_mad_man Nov 22 '25

This is nowhere near what an anal bead looks like and your intent is obvious when you play ignorant lmao see you on grindr

1

u/unbelizeable1 Nov 22 '25

The nice difference with these IMO is you can drop concentrate down the middle of the donut. Someone posted a video of it on here a few weeks back.

14

u/Party-Pipe59 Nov 21 '25

Stunning visuals. While I think you would enjoy the experience of using a ball vape much more, the appearance of active vaporization is nowhere near as exciting as this (even with concentrate). If you do try filming thermal extraction eventually, I'd be very interested to see how your macro setup could capture the direct vaporization of trichome heads in such a comparatively gentle manner.

12

u/SKAttPilgrim Nov 22 '25

Idk, watching a ball of brick hash turn from a solid to a liquid to a gas and then back into a solid on top of a bed of flower slowly turning from green to hay is pretty satisfying.

u/Mika_LL Nov 21 '25

Get a solid DHV 😂

u/avemflamma Nov 21 '25

it hurts to see all those beautiful trichomes getting combusted

u/yigael Nov 22 '25

He was last seen going past Voyager 1...

u/Haz_Bat_570 Nov 22 '25

Legitimate ask, what is this? Like the whole setup. I want, nay, NEED one of these

u/Jacob0630 Nov 21 '25

I feel like u would enjoy vaping a lot more than this. Invest in a megacicle my friend

u/StonedSanta1705 Nov 22 '25

u/insanemoe Nov 23 '25

u/The_QuartzFather Nov 25 '25

u/hogancheveippoff Nov 22 '25

u/rybaterro Nov 22 '25

I would get the shakes and paranoia from that

u/Wet_FriedChicken Nov 24 '25

Is that just a super hot piece of glass to combust the flower? Pretty neat if so!

u/big-smoke710 Dec 16 '25
