5 Great Vapes for Beginners

Everyone has to start somewhere. Which of these portable vapes are the best for beginners? Answer: all of them! Vapes can be super confusing at first, but these easy to use and easy to care for models will make it all a breeze! Which is right for you?

Atman x Dope Bros Pug Oil Vaporizer Pen

For the oil lover who is just starting out we bring you the Atman x Dope Bros Pug Oil Vaporizer Pen. This pen, made specifically for oily concentrates, is very easy to operate, even for first time users! The pen uses a ceramic heating coil and quartz tank, ideal for heating those concentrates to just the right temperature. It only takes one button to operate, making it perfect for vaping noobs.

KandyPens Donuts Vaporizer

KandyPens are one of the most popular brands of vape pens for both beginners and seasoned pros, and once you try one, it's easy to see why. The Donuts vaporizer completely revolutionizes the old style of vape pen by getting rid of the traditional coil heating systems, and instead replaces it with a state of the art ceramic heating chamber, which slowly heats up your favorite waxes and makes it impossible to burn them! This could not be more perfect for the beginner who has not figured out ideal heat settings. The foolproof 3 temperature setting makes it pretty much impossible to mess up.

The PAX 2 is a great model for beginners! Image Source: PersonalWeedVaporizer.com

PAX 2 Portable Dry Herb Vaporizer

The PAX 2 is an older model, but it still is one of the highest quality dry herb vapes on the market, and it’s a great model for those who are just getting started. The PAX2 has a quick heat up time, and 4 distinct temperature settings of 360, 380, 400, and 420 (heh) degrees F, making it easy to vape your dry herbs in style!

Once you become more familiar with vapes, we do recommend that you make the switch to the newer and better PAX 3 model.

Proto Vape Vaporizer Pipe

The Proto Vape vaporizer pipe is not an electronic vaporizer, and that is just fine! Some people are just not technologically inclined, or don’t have the money to invest in an electronic vape. The Proto Vape allows you to either vape or just smoke a bowl, all with the help of a simple screw on attachment.

Vapir Prima Vaporizer

Last and certainly not least we have the Vapir Prima portable vaporizer. This vape stands a bit above the rest of the entries on this list because it allows you to vape both herb and concentrates. The Vapir Prima is also exceptionally easy to care for, and is made to handle some of the stickiest buds and waxes that seem to clog lesser vapes. The temperature presets make it easy to not only customize your vaping experience, but do it the right way. What more could a beginner ask for?

10 Cannabis Strains to Bring You More Cheer This Holiday Season: Part 2

 

As the Holiday season reaches its height, and Christmas only days away, chances are you really could use a good bong hit. May we suggest you try one of these strains for an extra bit of cheer this holiday season? Be sure to check out part one here!

Black Diamond

Black Diamond is the ultimate strain for unwinding. Often used as a cure for insomnia, this strain will leave you feeling like you’re wrapped in a soft, warm blanket. If you ask me, this is exactly what you need when waiting out the first major blizzard of the season. This strain will give you a fairly strong case of the munchies, so be sure to have a bowl of caramel corn, or whatever your desired holiday snack might be. May we suggest baking Black Diamond into a batch of cookies or brownies?

Mango Kush

Another member of the infamous Kush family, the sweet and citrusy Mango Kush is the perfect cure for winter time depression. This hybrid will make you feel relaxed, uplifted and of course quite euphoric. One taste of this strain’s mango and banana flavor will allow you to imagine that you have been whisked away on a tropical vacation. What more could one ask for in the midst of all the snow and endless Christmas carols.

Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express is most famous for the hilarious stoner comedy that bears the same name. The strain has a strong and sweet flavor of pineapples and what I would describe as pineapple Lifesavers (of course your experiences and opinions may vary). It gives you a good strong buzz that I would liken to a cup of strong coffee. It’s the perfect strain for getting you in an adventurous state of mind. This is absolutely ideal when navigating the mall for last minute shopping.

Blue Diesel

This powerful hybrid is the offspring of Blueberry, a rather potent indica and NYC-Diesel, a similarly strong sativa strain. Often referred to as Blue City Diesel, the strain will leave you feeling relaxed and calm, with a rather high amount of euphoria. It’s the strain that was made for those days when you want to do nothing but hang around the house and really chill for a change.

GSC

GSC, formerly known as Girl Scout Cookies, is a favorite for a reason. This hybrid of all time greats Durban Poison and OG Kush has a sweet and earthy flavor that may remind you of a certain type of cookie. GSC is best for fighting nausea, pain, and of course restoring a lost appetite. The strain is also known for being one of the most attractive when in the flowering stage, with buds of frosty purple and bright green calyxes at the base.

And what better product is there than Jasmine which is named after the brewed leaves that helped users sleep? Trainwreck was later added to enhance potency as well as improve its anxiety-relieving effects.

After about an hour or two, a tingling sensation builds from between the temples. It ebbs down slowly in waves and soothes each muscle until the body is fully enveloped in relaxation. In the limbs, a heaviness sets in that makes the eyes droop. Free of tension, users eventually fall into a deep asleep.

Because of its heavily sedating effects, it is better to use Night Train at night. Otherwise, those who choose to smoke it during the day will have difficulty resisting the urge to sleep. Moreover, it will hamper productivity and interfere with plans set for the day.

Fragrance

Night Train is no doubt a pungent strain because of its potent levels of THC. Breaking apart the buds reveal its woody notes of refreshing pine. Combusting it, however, releases a surprisingly strong nutty fragrance that fills the room.

Flavors

In the palate, Night Train explodes with various flavors of hash, chocolate, and coffee. Overpowering all three, however, are woody overtones that swarm the mouth with the refreshing taste of pine. On the exhale, it leaves a nutty aftertaste.

Adverse Reaction

Dehydration is a side effect that comes with the use of all strains. Its symptoms are reflected in the form of a cottonmouth and dry eyes. Although often ignored by many seasoned users, it is not uncommon for novices to experience discomfort. In such cases, it is better to stay hydrated by downing a few glasses of water.

Because of its potency, Night Train can sometimes make induce dizziness and paranoid especially when it is used excessively. Most of the time, however, users only experience a headache. Still, it is best to refrain from overindulging and, instead, practice pacing and moderation.

Like many Indica-dominant strains, Night Train excels at mitigating physical afflictions. Its soothing buzz eases pain beginning from the temples. In relieving the body through and through, it relaxes the muscles to keep it from contracting and causing sharp spasms.

Apart from the physical, Night Train also has behavioral benefits. It reduces stress by encouraging users to lay back and relax which, if left unattended, can lead to more complicated conditions like insomnia. At the same time, the strain also encourages a good night’s rest while enhancing the quantity of sleep.

Growing

Night Train is a wonderful strain for beginners. A hardy plant, it can withstand various environmental problems such as strong gusts of wind, fluctuations in temperature, and sudden changes in weather conditions. Not only that, it is highly resilient in the face of mold, mildew, and moisture-related issues such as root rot.

It may require some protection against pests. And, for this reason, many growers are inclined to grow the plant indoors where there is added protection against critters. Moreover, controllable environments allow one to easily adjust factors such as temperature, lighting, and humidity which are important in bringing out the full potential of a plant.

The strain performs best when the Sea of Green method is used. It increases trichome production, encourages better yields, and saves a lot of time. As for mediums, one may hydroponic or aeroponic systems to get “cleaner buds.”

• Flavors
• Adverse reactions
• Medical
• Growing
• Flowering time

Alf is an elusive strain that has garnered quite a reputation among users for its flavors and full-bodied effects. Bold and enticing, a puff of its delicious smoke improves one’s zest for life. Meanwhile, its tranquilizing head-to-toe release pent-up stress from the past week or the day.

Its ever-so-pleasant experience is induced by its steady THC concentration of 15%. Though it is unlike the many body-slamming powerhouses sitting on the shelves of today’s dispensaries, it remains a popular choice as it steers users clear of a bad trip. Moreover, its seemingly balanced high helps iron out the aches, pains, and disturbances brought about by certain afflictions.

In developing the Indica-dominant hybrid, The Captain Connection looked no further than Cookie descendants: Animal Pie and Black Raven. A fitting duo as, in real life, the latter truly does have a carnivorous diet. Sadly, neither are readily available which makes Alf as elusive as the proverbial blue moon.

ORIGIN	Animal Pie and Black Raven
EFFECTS	Relaxed - 10 Creative - 5 Euphoric - 5 Giggly - 5 Happy - 5
ADVERSE REACTIONS (NEGATIVE)	Dry mouth - 10

INDICA / SATIVA %	70%/30%
INDOOR YIELD	10 to 12 ounces per square meter
OUTDOOR YIELD	12 ounces or more per plant
CLIMATE	Warm climate
GROWTH LEVEL	Some experience needed

Alf appeals most to users seeking an Indica-dominant strain without the couch-locking side effects.

Beginning from the weary mind, a rush of euphoria inspires a happiness from within that leaves users feeling blissful.

The behavioral change is almost immediate by the time the onset settles. Smiles radiate from one’s face as giggles escape from the mouth. At this point, even the most minute reason becomes amusing. The once gloomy perspective seems brighter, more positive.

Sparking creativity is the same clearheaded high that paves the way for thoughts to flow and form freely without worries. Although, instead of work, one may just want to kick back with friends on a lazy day while cheerfully conversing.

In time, a light pressure ebbs down from the temples. Intensifying with each puff, it soon becomes a buzzing sensation that surges through the muscles. Calming and soothing, it plants a heaviness in the areas where tension had been released until it eventually engulfs the body in a deep-seated relaxation.

Fragrance

A sweet and sour fragrance, reminiscent of cherry biscuits, emanates from Alf’s buds. Enhancing it are pungent overtones of tropical fruit that are immediately counterbalanced by the scent of diesel once the buds are either broken apart or combusted.

Flavors

Drawing in Alf is like biting into a cookie with cherries on top as opposed to chocolate. It is sweet with tropical overtones that enrich its overall flavors. Exhaling the sharp smoke, however, may leave one with an itchy throat as an aftertaste of diesel washes over the mouth.

Adverse Reaction

It is best to have a drink in hand while using Alf because it will dry the mouth. Its cannabinoids, particularly THC, inhibits moisture production in the salivary glands. The discomfort usually lasts for a few hours but is rarely a cause for concern. Still, it is better to stay hydrated throughout the day as it will ease the ache.

Medical

By inducing its happy high, Alf instills a positive change in moods and behaviors that blows stress out the door. In the same manner, it appeases depression, PTSD, anxiety, and other important mental health issues that are exacerbated by stress. Thus, although temporary, the bud helps improve the quality of life with its euphoric effects.

The same psychoactive that induces the head high is also responsible for Alf’s soothing body buzz. It relaxes users through and through with a light pressure that courses through the muscles as it makes its way down from the temples. In doing so, it prevents spasms from sending pain signals to the brain.

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of the healing process yet the most overlooked. But, through the full-bodied tranquility it induces, Alf provides users with a reprieve against the long nights of wakefulness that insomnia causes.

Growing

Alf, being so rare, is not a strain that people can easily acquire. The same goes true for its seeds which are just as uncommon. And, when it does pop up, it carries a hefty price tag with it even more so for clippings.

The plant retains the typical structure of many Indicas - short and stout. Most of the nutrients it absorbs is redirected to branches that grow wider with each week. There should be ample space between multiple herbs so it can stretch on the sides as much as it wants regardless of where it is planted or the nature of its environment.

It will need to be trimmed though. High levels of humidity often leave the plant damp with moisture which, if left unattended, can develop into mold or mildew. For this reason, many people prefer growing the strain indoors where ventilation, as well as air circulation, are easily adjusted to suit Alf’s needs. It also provides added protection against pests that bring disease.

Due to its sensitivity, Alf is definitely not a strain for beginners. However, the growing process can be eased by applying techniques such as Low-Stress Training. Moreover, the results often make the hard work worth it as each bud is dusted completely with white trichomes with purple streaks peeking through.

Flowering Time

Indoors
Alf has an indoor flowering period of 7 to 9 weeks. It is expected to yield an average of 10 to 12 ounces of buds per square meter but will produce even more under the expert care of a seasoned grower. Applying the Sea of Green method will also help improve bud growth.

Outdoors
In the northern hemisphere, Alf usually flowers from the end of September to the middle of October. Once mature, growers typically harvest a yield of at least 12 ounces of buds per plant.

Have you ever smoked or grown your own Alf? Please let me know what you think about this marijuana strain in the comments below.
