    Hi ayaibo, rapè and ambil are difficult to find in Aust but I've never had trouble getting thru customs.  I think 5kg is the Max for importing tobacco products (but I may have that wrong).  I know folks have imported logs in the past.  Entheobotanica (Aust) sometimes have mopacho leaf and rapè but it doesn't seem to have anything atm.

    I keep an eye out for the 50% off sales at Shamanic snuff (Peru).  They have great ambil but you need to be quick. 

    Orisha Ossain (NL) has become a favourite, the quality is very good as the rapè is sieved extra fine, thier Kuripes and Tepis are without equal. 

     

    Failing that drop me a Pm for some seed and big welcome to Aust btw.

    Well that seemed a reasonable summation of things. Julian and MMA didn't come out unscathed.  That facilitator dude from MAPS was a fuckin creep.

    All this is unwelcome noise for the scientific community and Im left still pondering that the best vehicle for safe access is as Folk medicine.

    Smoking weed (combustion) actually induces anxiety in many people, while vaping greatly reduces anxiety without any of the bad effects associated with smoking (not completely sure why).

    Agreed.  Im of the understanding that more Thc is accessed at higher temps (above 180c), more Cbd at temps around 170 and lower. 

    Hence if you decide the go down that road, you need a good quality dry herb vape to get reliable temperature control.  Many cheaper ones aren't that accurate.

    German made Stortz and Bickle brands are the best.  The 'Mighty' or 'Crafty' are great portables.  Many people opt for cheaper mid range versions around $350 but imo its worth spending the extra $150 odd.  

    Why?

    .Accurate temps

    .Even removal of goodies.  Some vapes can concentrate heat in one area, burning some matter and leaving inner parts of the bowl with unspent matter.  (Ive looked at the outcomes of a few different models through a jewellers loupe).  Over time the wastage from cheaper vapes would exceed the extra cost.

    .Easy going draw.  Most portable vapes have too much resistance in the draw.  Like sucking on something with the end blocked.  The Mighty has such a relaxed draw with less resistance than any other brand I've tried so you dont have to bust a gut getting the party started.

     

    Desktop models are generally better than portable.  Balloon type models are very pleasant to use, but more cumbersome.  The Volcano is the best of these.  However the Stortz portable versions rival the performance of desktops and are quick and easy by comparison.

    Australian vaporizers are a good retailer.

    Hey mate ive no experience with arios but in my experiments different scions seem to have varying degrees of success on peres.  But id definately leave on gladwrap for weeks, or even months long after you see some connection and bulking.  Whilst vascular bundles form, they may take longer to become well established and the plant resistant to desiccation once the humidity is reduced.

    I keep mine indoors and out of the direct light for at least few months.  It seems to be a while, well after union is achieved that a robust resistance to sun, ect is achieved.  Perhaps the initial union is followed by the creation of more complex, substantial vasculation over a period of time.  For me this seems the case on both peres and tricho stock.  Not having alot of sun protection, my loph grafts get soft if i leave them in the greenhouse over summer.  That arvo sun can spank em.

    I prefer to graft at the start of the growing season, i think things happen quicker and my offcuts heal and root faster too.

    Rot can seem to also happen as the peres deprives the loph scion of goodies in favour of its own new growth.  It can be annoying trying to terminate growth on peres stock.  I muse that this is moreso the case with slow growing grafts like Lw,.  Throw in a little too much sun as well and you can reach that tipping point into rot pretty quick.
