Guys, let's get back on track. I'm a vaporizor noob, what are some things you would have known before you bought your first vaporizor?

HIV made a good post imo.

anti tilt. I went on 5 day break this week. I never played more than 2 hrs in one day.I normally play 12 hrs a day, 6days/week, because I still LOVE it. Obviously I realize I will get burnt out eventually just from all the hours ... but I love playing As long as i have a banana in my back pocket.

not the case for my "banana break." Any bad beat and i went crazy. This has never happened to me while being full on fruit. I only care about decisions. also:smuggling bananas is easier than smuggling tshirts and shorts and underwear. I am arabic, so i get "randomly checked" at EVERYSINGLE airport i go to. I still bring herb(knock on wood).

lil surprised to read this. i thot u were one of the other guys.
The most interesting line is being excited about the game. When i am fruitless i simply hate playing poker. I mean, its got to be the last thing I want to do, besides get a real job. When i peel just one banana I become entranced by poker and want to do everything I can to get better. Its my motivator. I took this "banana break" and the first thing I did was go to the library, buy a book and read the entire 350 pages.

My thoughts exactly. The bongload is the reason your there baby!
Ship it

The last thing I wanted to say is this: can anyone imagine Phil Hellmuth going deep in the main event...peeling a banana on a dinner break....coming back to the TV table, get busted and then YELL AT SOME GUY!???

NO. Hed smile. And say GG.

Pay me later PHil.

i know some people say they don't go thru withdrawals and it's easy to stop blah blah blah, but those people i'm assuming don't peel on the same levels as people like me and randall and oktime, so for you guys, my question is - do you have problems stopping? i think the longest i've stopped for over the past couple years is MAYBE 10 days, but i have a lot of graduate school auditions coming up (i'm a trombone performance major, ldo smoking is a good idea), and i've got 2 months of hell on my doorstep and i'm planning on quitting until at least march. i don't smoke cigs, but every once in a while when i don't have any naners i find myself craving some sort of smoke - it's more an oral fixation type thing i think, besides the fact that i enjoy the actual act of toking and it's part of the pleasure for me - it's a nice release imo. it's like once you feel that smoke you're gonna be set. i feel i've got a pretty addictive personality, too, so what are you planning on doing to help you quit?

What worked for me: I made a goal to run a marathon. I stopped for 30 days total. I ran 5-6 days/week. I stopped cold turkey and everything and I can stop at the snap of my fingers....but you have to be surrounded by the right people/motivations. Its like bruce lee says: "if the root is right so too be all of its manifestations." You got to stop for the right reasons. This month was made possible as i was surrounded by a couple of guys who used to smoke and found their "sober paths" and they really sent me in the right direction. So despite having all these goals I still needed another person around who emulated habits of sober living. It may sound stupid but heyyy. Do what u gotta do. It really worked well for me. I ran my 15 miles in a day. felt it was enough. I felt good about my break....Then got on with my life.

Some things just arent for me( i never drink)

smoke bananas every day

anyway, the cap is also filled with liquid nicotine that burns from the charger and middle connector while you inhale it.

What's so cool about these things is that you can smoke in the casino, or bars, or anywhere that you wouldn't be able to. Because the smoke and smell disappears within a second.

But back to the point, once you finish smoking the liquid nicotine cap, you usually just throw it away and put in a new full cap. Well, one day my friend had some **** he thought was hash but it was basically just alot of keefe in a bag. We decided to put the keefe in the cap while there was no liquid nicotine left.
The ****ing electric cigarette burned up the keefe, and we got mad puffs out of it. It ****ing worked.

My point, you can take this electric cigarette, use an empty cap, fill it up with keefe, take it to the ****ing bar, and EAT BANANAS infront of the ****ing public without getting ****ed. It's incredible, and I cannot believe I only tried this once for it'll come out to the bar with me friday!

this is an electric cig btw.

whoever designed this deserves the nobel peace prize

Lol, hmmmm. I guess taking 3-6 months breaks if you start getting paranoid/anxious is key. I make sure I have something to do when I'm high, like listening to a new record, writing a philosophical text or pokering. Also, a lot of work was put into finding the right suppliers. The rest, as they say, is history.

Out of bananas tho, anyone in London wanna hook up for some or w/e u know how to get in touch me!

You guys ever switch up your banana strains on sundays? Wasn't too sure crossing paths with sativa's when I'm so used to indica's is a good idea. Thoughts?

Indica and Sativa are both cannabis strains. Indicas are notably squatter with more crystals while Sativa is more elongated with its crystals kept in the core. Indicas are much more heavier than sativas. The high is more of a body stoned effect versus a more cerebral high from sativa. Many feel that Indica is going to make them sleepier, while Sativa gets you UP... Indicas are easier to grow, Sativas are tougher, but well worth it.
