All fair points. If you think quality bud is going into those cartridges you would be mistaken, most likely trim and popcorn buds. Definitely not premium bud.

Also if you smoking good bud then you shouldn’t have a high tolerance, that only happens when you smoke kak bud. Each to their own though. But I’ll just leave this here, hehe.

Yeah, no, now you're just being a silly elitist. I don't know why some people get so pathetic about what other people enjoy. Saying "each to their own" doesn't count for much after you've gone out of your way to insult "their own". I haven't seen anyone saying that's there's anything wrong with enjoying dry herb so I don't understand why so many herb guys feel like they need to aggressively defend their choice and dunk on distillate.

I find your assessment of tolerance strange. I'm no expert, but as I understand it you develop tolerance to THC. Kak bud has low THC compared to the other crap you land up smoking. Good bud has a higher THC compared to the other crap. You develop tolerance to the THC, not the other crap. The way you develop tolerance is by increasing how much THC you're consuming. High quality bud has more THC so will result in higher tolerance for the same amount being smoked. Using distillate regularly results in the quickest onset of tolerance you'll ever experience and it's because it's bloody 90% THC, not because it's made from offcuts.

I don't know what world you're living in where people experiencing tolerance from "kak" bud jump from rubbish R15/g weed to R1400/g just to be able to get high again. Normal people experiencing tolerance go from smoking R15/g to R50/g to R100/g to R250/g. Kak bud? I moved on to distillate because even Aquaponic bud wasn't doing it for me.

The only real way to address tolerance is to reduce THC intake. Smart people take T-breaks to address their tolerance. Dumb people like me move onto increasingly expensive, higher-THC products. I've since taken a T-Break to reset my tolerance so I don't technically need to use distillate to get high, but I've come to find I simply enjoy it more because of convenience and the fact that my asthma doesn't get triggered nearly as much by it compared to herb.

This is the second time this has happened with HV in a matter of weeks.

Not sure why aramex is being so hardcore, I assumed they would be busy now with backlog and increase in online shopping but it appears they have time to do all this. I hope HV refunds me. I bought a laser hair growth device from a seller on bidorbiy that cost 3000 and it came broken and bidorbuy refuses to help me and the seller is a thief. So if HV don't refund me, I lost 6000 rands this month

Damn that's bad. I can't think that Aramex have sniffer dogs regularly. I am sure they just scan the parcels and then see the carts which to them looks like "smoke" related items. And with cigarettes still not being allowed to be sold they confiscate any related items.

 

[Hatefulsandwich]

Aramex has always been problematic. I don't know why anyone still tries to ship THC products using them.

SAPS and Aramex have a system in place where they know which packages to look for, the same with PostNet. I know buyers cant choose the courier but I have warned about this when it started.

When I still had to acquire my own bud I always asked who the donor uses, if one of the above I ask to use someone else, if not, I just moved onto the next donor.

And it probably doesn't help that HV has recently started advertising nicotine liquid cartridges.

Well said, spot on Mnr.

Jeez did you have a bad day pal? Relax, no need to insult me. Sounds like you need a nice fat joint.

And your THC tolerance assumption is not accurate. I am a daily all day smoker and if I have kak bud, I don't get very high and I will develop a very quick tolerance to it. However smoking good bud gets me high, every time, every day. No tolerance, promise.

 

[Strawbana]

Apparently aramex is delivering mine today. I guess i should not get excited. Why does HV even use them? We have moaned about them for so long now. The prices of these carts are ridiculous, so they can at least make use of better couriers.

 

[The Horseman]

I'm glad I saw this, a guy told me the other day Aramex were the best to use for sending flowers around town. Glad I didn't use them.

How many grams did you smoke a day before going over to HV?

 

[The Horseman]

I don't use HV just bud. Smoke about 2g's a day min.

 

[irBosOtter]

I don't use HV just bud. Smoke about 2g's a day min.

Ah sorry I read wrong.

HV carts is ok, does not come close to decent spliff for me, but then A grade bud also starts taking it's toll if I do 10g plus a day

 

[The Horseman]

Yeah 10gs a day is quite a few fatties!

I try and roll mine reasonably sized, but I could get through 10gs if I rolled them the way I wanted to.

Throw in a little hot of a pipe, bong, bubbler and you good as gold.

Haha yeah that has happened a few weekends (the 10G a day) but it's way to expensive doing that. During the week I would usually smoke about 2g a night after work. At this point I am not even smoking anymore (budget does not allow). Only issue now is I take hours to fall asleep and don't want to go back to sleeping pills as that really screws me over the next day.

I hear you, it gets super expensive smoking those amounts. Yeah that is a bummer, sleeping pills are unpleasant. I find I get groggy the next day.

HV informed me about your situation. I guess I have to just wait and see

 

[Wil69]

Cuz I can't sit in a cinema puffing on a stinking dry herb vape but I certainly can (could) with an HV cart.
