As far as state tax authorities, I've thought about this, but the possibility of a real problem has always struck me as pretty unlikely. I mean, if the tax authorities were to investigate, it seems to me that it would very quickly become clear that the address represented neither my residence nor my domicile. I suppose I could be found guilty of misleading the bank, but I can't imagine that would be the concern of state tax authorities. Would you happen to know any different? Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm too poor to consider pursuing ????

I use a Skype In number. I've been using this (domestic American) phone number for over a decade now, and the automated bank OTP service that contacts me there seems to work pretty consistently.

Yeah, I bought my XMax V3 Pro vaporizer, with accessories, through that company, without any problem (by the way, this is a great product!). GreenLungs requires you to establish communication with them through the Line app, and then tell them what you want via the app. They quote a total price, which you pay directly by bank transfer to their account. Once they've confirmed that the payment has been received, they ship the product. A lot of stuff transacts this way in Thailand, and I've never had any problem. It's my guess that they're unable to conduct financial transactions directly on a website for their product line, because vaporizers of any kind aren't legal in Thailand (from what I know). So, weed is now legal, but vaporizers still aren't - which puts those of us interested in instantly enjoying cannabis in a healthy fashion in an interesting position! To vape, or not to vape? That is the question, haha

I'm wondering if anyone has ever encountered a problem with a financial institution as a result of using one of the CMRA's mentioned above (or any, for that matter). I myself have had a close friend receiving my mail for over a decade now, but that situation is changing, and I'm wondering whether I'm taking a significant risk of creating a problem by starting to use one of these companies. I have another very close friend in the States who has expressed a wholehearted willingness to start receiving my mail, but I'd rather place most of the responsibilities on a paid entity in order to minimize any headaches for my friend. The way I see it, if I change my address to one of these CMRA's, and one of my financial institutions flags my account, any (residential) address I provide it thereafter (like that of my friend) might not be accepted on a flagged account. So, I'm wondering if this is one of those situations where you only get one chance. If my checking account gets cancelled at my American bank, KYC/AML banking rules might require that I have to physically be present in order to open a new one, and I don't relish the idea of a trans-Pacific flight these days. I'm not expecting this, just trying to consider the worst-case scenario.

Hmm, hadn't thought about just leaving the cold water valve off, and setting the temperature (once) on the water heater. Thanks!

I've been having endless problems controlling the temperature while showering, and I've decided to try to figure out the best solution so that I only have to fix this problem once. I have two supply lines that feed the shower fixture: one is normal (unheated) supply, and the other is supplied by the water heater mounted on the wall above the shower ceiling. I know that some heaters are designed to be physically accessed and controlled during the course of the shower (i.e. mounted on the wall inside the shower stall), but any water heater mounted in my current location above the ceiling will obviously be inaccessible as well. I've been controlling the temperature using the shower hot/cold control knobs, but it's been a constant struggle. Also, I notice that the cold water supply line which feeds the heater is also the source for the shower cold water valve, which might significantly change the supply of water available to the heater whenever I open the cold water valve, resulting in temperature fluctuations. I've done some reading about "open-loop" vs. "closed-loop" water heater designs, and which design might be best for a shower. After having lived in Thailand for over 10 years, it seems that this is a very common problem. Wondering if anyone out there has already been through this?

Yeah, if it turns out that weed starts to become a regular part of my life, I might just decide to invest in one of these vaping facilities, and I'm also curious, haha

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. Well, without going into huge detail, yes, the exhaled vapor is visible, but barely, and it dissipates immediately. Yeah, the vapor does have pretty good taste and smell, similar to the raw flower. No problem with the draw. But I don't smoke, anything. So it's possible that my lungs just aren't conditioned to breathing in anything foreign. And it sounds like you do smoke (something) now and then - or maybe regularly - so maybe the difference is that your lungs have already been conditioned. I remember back in the day that my lungs didn't much object to a variety of smoked items, because I was always smoking something, haha

Thanks for this. Based on some of the stuff I've found (some of which is included above), the temperature dictates which (and how many of the) compounds in the weed actually vaporize, and therefore become available to inhale. I chose a temperature of 385F to hopefully include as many of these as possible, while excluding some of the worst ones. So I suppose a lower temperature (like the 310F you mention above) might be easier on the throat, but could lead to a different experience. Of course, the experience will be entirely subjective, and we each have to experiment, as you say - which I will. ???? Good thought on burning in a new vaporizer with a high temp before using it, I hadn't thought of this. And as you say: "I don't like spending a lot on these things because I just might drop it on the floor"... reminds me so much of some of the Cheech & Chong skits we listened to in the '70's that had us rolling on the floor ???? I'm reminded of all the shirts I used to have back then, with holes in the front from burning seeds falling unnoticed out of a doobie while slouching back with my friends. No longer a problem! haha

By the way, I forgot to mention that the temperature of the vapor seems OK without a bong, which was the entire reason for posting this in the first place. Although the vapor did cause some lung irritation (and some coughing), I didn't get the feeling it was due to the heat. I'll probably try it with a bong sometime anyway and see if the experience is any different.

Tried it last night for the first time...and wow! Super convenient - once it's loaded, just grab it whenever in the mood. I was completely baked for 6 hours, haha. The only problem was that I ran out of Lay's potato chips, and I was too lazy to get up and go to 7-11 for more. Next time, I'll stock up. ????

This will be my first experience with a weed vaporizer, so I'll experiment and see how it goes. I did order it with the 14mm glass bong adapter, so it should be easy to pop into a bong if that's what I decide to do. From what I've read (below), the chosen temperature can be very important in determining the effect or taste, or harshness. It was literally 50 years ago when I toked my first doobie, and of course, at the time, we had no idea about all of this biochemistry or snobby, subtle flavor distinctions - which I now find extremely interesting and simultaneously hilarious. Technology has finally caught up to what we already knew 50 years ago. Wine snobs: you got nothin' on us potheads! ???? https://www.herbonaut.com/best-temperature-to-vape-weed/

I recently ordered the Xmax V3 Pro "dry herb" vaporizer online, which is due to arrive shortly. I'm very interested in its performance, but one of my concerns is breathing the hot vapor. These devices will heat the product to over 400 degrees F, and even though they don't produce smoke, the hot vapor might not be so healthy, especially on a regular basis. Do most people use these things attached to a bong, for that reason?

Did you buy anything from them, and were you satisfied with the outcome?

Anybody try using this place in the link above (www.greenlungsth.com)? Their website does appear to have exactly what I need (dry herb vaporizers, etc), but there's currently no way to purchase anything directly from the website. Apparently the only way to contact them directly (or buy anything) is via the Line app. I did chat with them on Line yesterday, and they tell me that payments are made through direct deposit into their account, but I'm not sure if I have any way of confirming whether I should expect to receive good service. Anyone try them already?
