I only now, after searching the forum for "HowzitBud" again, noticed @undeadpool's posts about his recent bad experience there so I'm only blaming myself here, but fair warning to others:

I ordered stuff for R1,090, incl. standard (not express) delivery and chose the PayPal option.

I was charged US$68.13 / R1,251.74 by PayPal.

When I queried it with @howzitbudcare they said it "must be the exchange rate", "the exchange rate is very high" and "must be PayPal surcharges."

I don't think they understand how exchange rates work? Or maybe I don't? Sure, there are PP transaction charges but R161 extra? Sounds implausible.
It's plausible. PayPal's fees and exchange rates are terrible. In the week, when the rand was at 17.69, I got 16.97 from PayPal. And a 1.5% fees charge.

Fair enough. Will just use EWallet next time, much cheaper.

In their defense, they did respond to me on a Sunday and the guy just pitched up to deliver @ 15:40, about 6 hours later. :thumbsup:
 
so how long do the effects of the oil last and how much do you usually take? Sorry for asking so many questions lol
The amount you take will completely depend on yourself as everyone has a different tolerance. I take 1 capsule of the normal strength oil. Others might need their strong version of the oil. Starts working after about 1 hour with the "climax" at around 3 hours. For me it lasts about 4 to 5 hours. But each person will be different.

Thanks for the help :thumbsup: been doing research and I think I'm going to go for the tincture from cannasutra. Apparently the onset is faster and I'll be able to take smaller doses during the day rather than one big dose in the morning.
 
Yeah, so don't do this:

After my battles with HowzitBud about the dead battery in the disposable vape, I decided to try and salvage the ditillate leftover in the device's cartridge. My plan was to try and transfer as much of the content into an old HoneyVape cartridge. After some very careful dismantling, I was able to free the cartridge from the device. The cartridge is enclosed on two sides by the device itself and I was finally able to have a good look at it. I noticed that I had more than three-quarters of the original 0.5ml left. That was even more than I originally thought. I prepared my HV cartridge and then start gently heating the HowzitBud cartridge to get the distillate into a more 'runny' state.

It worked great except that it all ran out the bottom of the cartridge. Stupid me never remembered to plug the bottom hole. It ran out on the table I was heating it on and I panicked. The surface on which it puddled wasn't cleaned beforehand because I was only planning on heating it there and then doing the transfer to the new cartridge over a clean surface. I instantly thought there's no way I'm vaping something that has come into contact with a dirty surface (no idea if that's a legitimate concern but better safe than sorry).

Did I mention that I panicked? I promptly scooped it up onto my finger and then remembered a Reddit post that explained you can ingest distillate by mixing it with coconut oil to make it 'bio-available'. I have no idea how accurate that information is but I grabbed a teaspoon of coconut oil, licked the distillate off my finger and swirled it the two around in my mouth before swallowing.

I didn't notice any effects for about an hour and reckoned that I had at least tried not waste anything. Then, very gradually the world became slightly more distant and I started feeling very relaxed and lethargic. The effects started at around 19:00 on Saturday evening and lasted to around 9:00 the next morning (I have a pretty low tolerance). Waking up the next morning, I was even paranoid that I had contracted the Corona virus because I was feeling so sluggish for such a long period of time. If this happened in the week, I would probably have needed to take the day off due to the sluggish feeling. Thankfully, this was over a weekend and after a long afternoon nap, I was feeling more well-rested than I had felt in a long time.

How was your weekend? :laugh:

Say what you might about HV, but damn you get what you pay for . Top notch service.
Just placed order, and within a minute they contacted me to say they've received order. Sent payment, and they replied again promptly to say they've received it and will send me the tracking ASAP - Which they normally do around the afternoon-ish previous cart lasted me almost 2 weeks , where as previously only a week ( because I like to indulge all day errry day ) Found that if you limit yourself to a few puff at a time, there is no need to sit and suck on it for 10 min … anyway guys ya'll stay save out there...
 
anyone got a plug in centurion for some grass/edibles? 420moneys says they're closed until April and I need a fix for this lockdown
 
Cannasutra will have their last orders today I think. Better stock up.
