There's a vaporent community and a vaporists community. Neither have been active for almost a year. It would be nice to have one of those going to see what everybody's using. I also miss the old old cult/ Franklin/thca groups from r/. Anyone interested in starting one of those?

I have a volcano and a script I wrote to control it via a tasmota power plug. Now my computer plays a clip of snoop dogg when I turn it on and when it's fully heated up. And it automatically turns it off at night if I forget to. I can turn it on from anywhere in the world. I think it's cool, but who cares?

We do! Please open-source it, king of stoner engineering!

(I use the Plenty from time to time, but it kinda sucks)

Ask and ye shall receive! I'm tacking a GPL 3 license to it. The plugs that play a sound after a delay won't work on Windows because I use fork(), but I don't use Windows because fuck Windows. It uses mpv to play sounds, but that is easily changed. AMA.

That's crazy cool! Wouldn't mind seeing a pic or video.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

There's not much to see. I made this cool mollyguard for the power button out of a clear bud capsule. This way nobody flips the switch when I expect it to stay on all the time and I can see the power light through it.

Lemmy is failing to upload my images, so here's 2 links:

Volcano (excuse the mess, I found I spilled some inside last night and tried to clean it lol)

My dinky menu I use for it sometimes

[–] sorrybookbroke 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That is wild, now I want a volcano. I'm more into handhelds and love my crafty+ but that's wild enough to make me think about buying one

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Dude honestly the Volcano rules. I've had mine almost 20 years now and I've had a screw rattle loose and the plastic airflow button broke ($10 part) and that's it. I also bought a Crafty+ and I hardly ever use it. The Volcano is definitely smoother and I think hits harder. Plus you can see how heavy your dose is about to be as the bag fills. The power plugs I bought came out to like $10 each I think for a pack of 4.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I can turn it on from anywhere in the world. I think it's cool, but who cares?

Inb4 burglars care because it can be used to track when you're at home and when you're away on a holiday

I know the chances are far lower for custom stuff when compared to cheap IP cameras, but having anything open to the internet should leave you extra paranoid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

It's actually not open on the internet, it's only on my LAN. I ssh in to access it if I'm out which is rare so it's very safe. These Tasmota plugs are great because they use Free software firmware (which I updated from the web, not the manufacturer), I trust them a lot more than any other IOT device.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

So start posting to vaporents instead of trying to make the 5th community on the same topic just because nobody posted in 3 months?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I am still in love with my Mighty+. You can get a Titanium mouth piece that is pretty sweet, but the rubber to keep it from falling out is garbage. I wrapped a little bit of gaffers tape around it, and that works much better. Otherwise, I use the plastic one.

I am not the type to buy large collections of dry herb vapes, but ever since my state went legal, the bud must flow. 😁

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For sure the best session portable vape currently, the Venty might be better? I don't own one and I probably won't because I like my TM2, but I have heard good things about it. I wouldn't buy it till the venty+ model releases if they do that because the venty does have some kinks currently.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I don't have any reason to switch either. It is so stoner friendly with the little vibration reminder, USB-C PD, and you can use it plugged in if you were dumb and never charged it. I am a simple woman. I do complicated shit all day at work, so the little things that should be simple can really matter to me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What are the Old old cult and Franklin?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The thca subs from r/. 40% reviews and sales and 60% shit talking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Damn accurate description

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Yes to both lol, the cult is toxic af but on Lemmy I think it'd be great! I've spent a frankly embarrassing amount on cult bud so I could contribute a shit ton to a cult community if we had one. I also try to keep up on the news for them and there would be 0 shilling here probably.

On to the vaporents side, I have a mighty+, (sadly collecting dust, I need to sell it so it gets used, great unit), a tinymight2, and I just pre-order the vapvana screwball that I am super excited for. So I could also make some OC content for that side but not nearly as much as a cult sub. Like you said that one's dead currently and I don't buy vapes like bud.

I suppose for now we could just do all of this on trees? I thought about it but I think long term it may be better to start these communities? Not sure TBH but I would love to see em both!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Discord was the better community imo. The Frank tank. I’d love to see something flourish here!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I couldn't get into discord because it seemed like you had to wade through pages of crap and jokes to get to real info. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That’s accurate and fair tbh.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I also don’t get unwell with discord.

I have nothing against it, but the user interface just doesn’t work well with my psyche.
