Assuming I'm probably going to eventually move on from my Dynavap and now I'm sure I definitely won't be spending 5k baht just for a non fire heat source for it, this gets me into the complexities of choices with different vapes. Watching the reviews they talk about a lot of preferences that I'm not at all clear about. Like full terpenes taste or not (trade offs there if so). Convection vs. conduction or mix. Puff style preferences (I have no idea). Different vapes suitable for different goals. Yeah I could buy five different vapes and experiment, but of course I won't. So there's a pretty good chance that whatever (self heating) vape that I buy after Dynavap will turn out not to be optimal. Yeah I can seeing missing the simple days of nickle bags and rolling joints.

Glad to hear it. As such, I'm wondering if you can suggest some CURRENTLY OPEN authentic regional Chinese food places that haven't been mentioned here and that you happen to like. The thing is there is at least one Chinese food app in Chinese of course so I'm guessing there are places listed there that I don't know about. Before the pandemic how I found generally unknown places was quite random, basically just finding them by accident walking on streets. If you prefer to say by PM, that works.

Oh thanks. I do like cumin spiced Chinese dishes. Both <deleted> Man Lou and Yayuan have a cumin spiced lamb dish that's one of my favorites. I think <deleted> Man Lou's is a little better. Both in the 400 baht range. It's hard for me to read you. You seemed to indicate you're not a fan of this new place so when you suggested a specific dish, I assumed that you didn't love it. But now that you mention the cumin yes I'll try it (probably would have entually anyway).

Yah Mon, why wouldn't I be?

Bus tour joints aren't the best that's for sure.

Oh the Chinese hamburger. I know those not too thrilling.

Also is it mostly blue or yellow flame? Blue is better.

The top part of Da Tang's second menu which is one page on a card.

Look at the PDF at the link I gave above. You will see English translations of every dish. When I looked at the tablet menu at the restaurant there was definutely English. I think you might need to ask for the one page Xian wheat cuisine on a plastic card menu though. And you should. Again every dish listed in English. Maybe they added the English to the PDF tablet since when you were there. Yes it's common to find Chinese restaurants with no English menu in which case you can try Google translate. But I want to be clear. In my view there are no English language access issues on Da Tang's menus. What might be an issue is if you have questions about a dish. But heck that's part of the adventure.

What exact fuel product do you use to refill? Is it sold at DIY? Does the nozzle fit or did you need an adapter?

No need for stupid mind games. GOODBYE

I get your reference but people are probably still curious about more details. I will do. Assuming it's a place that I find promising I will probably wait until numerous visits with varied orders to post a substantive review. That said I think it might be early to judge any restaurant so new. They are in the shakedown cruise phase.

To the guy looking for great Peking duck in Pattaya, have you tried the place at the Royal Cliff which I thought was famous for it? If so, so why didn’t that cut it for you? https://www.royalcliff.com/restaurant/huang-chao-royal-cantonese-cuisine/

Well they have a number of OK dishes including Sichuan and as stated before most Chinese restaurants closed during the pandemic so it's either make do or nothing. The other Sichuan one at T21 also famous for dumplings has a very similar menu and prices to the extent that I guess they likely have the same owner.

Yayuan at T21 along with <deleted> Man Lou on 2nd road have been very frequent choices for me. Yayuan has Peking duck. No idea how good. Yayuan is on Lineman. <deleted> Man Lou is on Grab and Panda with different menus.

Snark is unwelcome.

You do you.

Thank you very very much for suggestions about vape models. I will look into them

Getting to my personal happy place with weed is a journey, a process, with no hard and fast rules or time frames. My process will be different than others. I've already made mistakes and will likely make others. I'm also doing this by sampling different strains and oils to figure out what strains are best for me for different times of day etc. Where I happen to be at now involves decisions about vapes. Keep with the Dynavap? With fire or expensive heat conductor? OR Just buy a different vape with battery heating built in? If so, which one? I'm in no rush on this.

It's OK to edit posts if you are only responding to one part of the post.

Yes!

A wise comment

No need for such bickering here. As I've said I left the cannabis world many decades ago so I posted here as a way to get bearings in the radically different cannabis world of today. My preferences have led me to go down the vaping path. Maybe later I'll find vaping a PITA and revisit bongs again iced or not. I did title the topic about bongs but thanks to the feedback here it is now about vaping. I hope that is OK with you.

You give it you get it. Someone doesn't like your iced bong suggestion and you go on a vendetta.

I have highlighted this restaurant on the Hit and Run topic with the hope that as people start to eat at Da Tang that they post reviews about it there. Why? Well in general there has been a soft tradition of doing Pattaya restaurant talk there in a big bucket instead of a separate topic for each restaurant (as there are thousands). But I know y'all will do what you want so just a suggestion.
