Your pen is either not giving enough voltage/amps or whatever the ratio is or you need better cartridges. I'd guess option A.

Love edibles.
Always take it slow at first. 10mg is a solid dose, you can halve it if you want to be extra safe. I've had some take a good 90 min to kick in, others 45-60. Be patient and don't take more... Wait until the next night and try a little bigger of a dose.

Yeah, edibles are a different game. Something about how your body metabolizes the thc etc. Be prepared for a longer trip and be patient.
As for quantities, it really depends on the person. 10mg is microdosing for me and I barely feel anything. I'm partial to the 50mg or 100mg doses. Drive slow and see what works for you.

When I first started vaping and didn't know the product well I initially encountered the same problem. Either your cartridge is low or you have a battery that needs to be replaced. If you're blowing clouds, you may just have a cheap bootleg cartridge with low thc content.

He said he was not getting high, not not getting cloudage.
Get a couple different strains and switch em up every few days, should prevent you from getting to acclimated to either.

I can get very little physical vape onan exhale (cloudage) and, at the right settings, get ripped.
Perhaps it was poor wording on my part... I meant either he's not getting enough juice, as some pens can degrade their power output over time, and/or needs better strands.

I've had weird experiences with edibles. I currently have some cookies that are the standard 10mg "dose". It clearly says on the package to try one and wait at least an hour to see what it does.
I tried one and it had hardly any effect. Went to 1.5 the next time and it was a solid buzz. Tried just one the next time and I was absolutely flying. For hours.
I've had a weird couple of days and feeling some general anxiety today so just took a half. Hoping it just mellows me out a bit.

Not sure it’s really dangerous. You could buy medication over the counter that at that over dosage could kill you. So spending a weekend relaxing isn’t exactly harmful.E-Z Glider said:Buddy of mine got his medical card for some back pain he's been dealing with. He was not a regular recreational user prior to this. I don't know the exact numbers, but the recommended dosage was something like 1.5ML drops in some hot tea. It was a Friday night and his first time trying it. He was looking for more than just a little pain relief so he decided to double-down. Problem was, he didn't read the syringe correctly and ended up adding (2) 15ML dosages. So he essentially had a cup of tea with 30ML when he was only supposed to have 1.5ML. Said he couldnt get out of bed for 3 days.A big part of me was lol'ing at him "greening out" for a whole weekend, but part of me also thinks the whole medical angle is pretty ridiculous (and sorta dangerous) for someone who doesn't know what they're doing. Seems like it would be a lot easier to control dosages by smoking/vaping it.

Amazing that almost at 80 or so so proof booze has about the same effect on most people. Could it be the years gone by since prohibition ended? Give it years and then judge.

I have 3 different strands. They were all strong at the beginning and all do nothing now. Yes vapor is coming out. Ill try others but i got discouraged already.

You might want to try the wax concentrate. If that #### don't #### you up, I don't know what will.

Yep. I ate a cookie a couple of weeks ago, woke up the next morning still high as hell. It just varies.

Does it take some time to know if the CBD tincture is working? If I am not feeling relief with what I am doing after three days should I up the dosage or give it more time?

Edibles are a love hate thing. Really no interest ever again. Doesn't agree with me, not fun, just the worst angst buzz possible and I've given them too many second chances. When you know, you know. For those that love them, enjoy.

Any idea on how long I have to take it to tell if it is going to work for me?
I have upped the dosage today. For economic reasons I dont want to jump to the full dropper right away. Its a fairly big dropper and a bottle will go pretty quick if I use a whole dropper. If it takes a full dropper twice a day then I can not afford it.

I also get very little smoke on my exhale, sometimes none at all. Glad to hear this may be a normal thing and is not necessarily because the settings are off, but this is still my biggest problem with my vape pen. With a bowl or joint the amount of smoke is how I gauge the dosage I just took, feels like I'm flying blind with a vape pen. Sometimes I still get high, sometimes I don't.
I know there's a way to change the temp settings and also have noticed the power runs out very quickly and it needs to be charged a lot, so I've tried those fixes and it seems to be more reliable now, but I still feel like I'm doing something wrong.
urbanhack
Fight The Power!
Yes, it can be pricey if you start taking a lot. I would give it 2 or 3 days at dosage to see if you have any improvements. What brand is it?

sorry GB! I hadn’t tried them yet either but buddy who got them from CO said they were pretty good I had 3/4 last night and it was plenty for me ?

This is pretty much the same for me. Maybe I'll do them on an entire day of smoking / drinking...but that doesn't happy much any more. Or here in Portland, most of the concert halls search you pretty good so vape pens are hard to sneak in, so edibles have to be the option sometimes.
TobiasFunke

Edibles are also good for sporting events for the same reason, if that's your thing. In my experience it's usually a bit much for the intensity of a basketball game, but perfect for a baseball game where you can get up from your seat and take a walk around the stadium, get some grub, chat with people, etc.

Yeah, I'm still "relatively" new to the pens and all, and it takes some getting used to the "feel" - but you get there.TobiasFunke said:
This is a pretty solid quick overview of how much juice you should use... it comes down to volts (output?) and Ohms (I think? Resistance, either way). The resistance will be somewhat variable, and I believe depends on the viscosity of the particular cartridge, which run from upper 1's to lower 2's (again, I think)... so more resistance needs a little more voltage.
As such, you generally want to be somewhere between 3.5-4.5 volts... usually you can go up to 7 or 8 before blowing out the cartridge. The more volts, the more / more quickly the oil will burn, so you get a lot more vape, but it may not taste as good and moreso, you might be wasting/using it up more quickly.
The challenge with your off the shelf bodega cheap pens is that they start with a full charge at say 4 volts, but quickly go down as you use up the battery. So unless it's totally charged, you might be getting too little a voltage to get a good hit.
Hope all that makes sense, and PLEASE correct me on the items I may have gotten wrong, if anyone sees any.

If you have a prescription for medical ask your Doctor or ask the budtender what they suggest.

I dont have much faith in the 22 year old budtender wearing the 21 Pilots t shirt. I feel like they are just making it up. maybe Im wrong
After talking to the doctor I got the impression that it is a lot of trial and error. I did say that and he pretty much agreed with me.

Tried a 10mg edible and the effects did not take as long to hit as some were saying, but that is ok by me. Definitely a different feeling than I remember from the days of my youth, not sure how to explain the difference, just was.
Getting some more for....ummmm...further research into the subject.

I've been in and out of CRON a couple of times. It is highly volatile, I will say that much. So far have picked my spots very well. Bought at around 6 on two occasions, within one week it went up to $8 the second time I bought it within two weeks it hit $12. Also sold close to those prices which was a good move as it does not hold them very well.
If you get it at a good price, you can definitely make some quick money. Not sure if $6 is something it will get back to or not, I'd follow it for a bit. May be settling around $9 as a starting point but Im not an expert.

Leafly will help, but it's still just what users report.. Nothing medical or official. So it might help, but I wouldn't take it as science.

Imagine being one of the thousands of young kids arrested daily, man handled, thrown in jail, charged with a marijuana crime, now have a financial burden, less likely to find a job because of the charge, etc. And meanwhile, one of the most successful,& brightest humans on the planet, Elon Musk, is toking it up on JRE.

In the WSJ today it said Musk only took one hit on the show and that he understands alot of people like it but it's not for him. I'm firmly for full legalization and for that to happen it has to come off of schedule 1 and the banking industry has to recognize it.Punxsutawney Phil said:

Have you tried the CBD syringe yet?prosopis said:
TBH it is as strong as you're going to get but that might not even be enough to handle severe pain.

If you mean the tincture under the tongue then yes I have tried it but I dont feel it has done much.

I emailed the local dispensary and here is the reply. Leafly did not have any info on Harlox but did have info about something called Ox. I did a search on leafly for CBD bomb and got info about bath bombs. Eventually I will walk into the dispensary and ask but I was trying to figure out as much as I could prior so I would not be standing their stupid and wasting their time. Do all strains have the choice of vaping or classic smoking? I took a couple hits off of a vape pen a few months back and that really seemed like the way to go. That was my first experience with vaping and at the time I did not realize what I was doing.It was a strange experience for me. I watched a few youtube vids about vaping last night and it seems simple enough.prosopis said:
Hi Prosopis! For arthritis and joint pain, we always recommend a strain that has a high CBD content. CBD is amazing for relieving inflammation in joints and alleviating arthritis. Currently we have two strains that I would highly recommend: Harlox, which is a hybrid strain that's perfect for day-time use; and CBD Bomb, which is an indica-dominant hybrid that is much more relaxing and sedative, perfect for relief before bed. Both of these strains have a 1:1 ratio of THC and CBD and are less psychoactive in nature. If either of these strains sound like something you would like to give a try, please give us a call at ###_###_#### and we would be more than happy to put some on hold for you.
Hope to see you at the shop soon!

tincture and syringe are not even close.
Forget the tincture and go with an edible distillate oil.
If you go 1:1 you are going to get high af.
If you just want pain relief, you'd better find a product that is 90% CBD.

Most places are very helpful. If you tell them you haven’t smoked in a while they should point you in the right direction
and remember a little goes a long ways these days. A hit or two will be enough to get you started.
The Gator
Footballguy
I'd start of at least at 50mg
Kidding, do NOT do that
What berndog said it's right though, everyone there will be helpful. Imo, find a nice hybrid that they recommend and if you do want to try edibles, 5mg is a good beginner dose.

Guy was very helpful. Picked up some CBD. A month supply. Little canister of two rolled at 4.43% THC, 6.0% CBD. Will spark one after dinner tonight.
