Throw one or two 4mm diamondium terp pearls in there, turn it down between 475-490, and welcome to a whole new world of terps.

The taxes are literal robbery, but damn those prices aren't in line either. I've been getting caregiver MI rosin for cheaper than that per G and it gets delivered to my door lol.
Dabwizard112
Dispo rosin is pretty mid, or very hit and miss. Your best bet is to hit up some local events if you know where to look. I know TTA has an event coming up, but they mostly feature Michigan producers. Definitely some locals producing some fire, but it's a far more fractured and less saturated market than Michigan, which inevitably ends up bleeding into Illinois. Which isn't a bad thing.
Dabwizard112
I use it more as an umbrella term for grey market produced rosin. Dealing with the grey market sucks a lot of the time too, since many producers have reps and middlemen that significantly add to the cost. It's best to go meet some guys in person and make connections at the various events around Michigan and the surrounding states.

There was a time when I would pay 1400-1800 a zip for top-shelf caregiver rosin. I have found the sweet spot at 30/g for CG rosin that is about 80-90% of some Fort Wendy for example, and I would never pay more than that again. Crystal Drift is some killer regardless of price point.

If you are walking up the main entrance in idea, you make an immediate hard left at the escalator, and it's like a cafe area with two floors. Ammo spawns are pretty insane there, and there is a little bit of everything else.
Dabwizard112
The problem with keys, is that you open up a room and get mostly RNG loot spawns from the containers inside. There should be guaranteed loot tables depending on the key and room. The new IDEA loot area by the entrance, has an epic spawn on the table right by the door to the bunks. It's crazy they haven't adjusted the loot tables further for marked rooms and stuff like that.

Crazy that y'all call 80 FPS unplayable man. This gaming generation has become soft. I am sitting here at 42 k/d with 1 PMC kill a game, my only deaths to the machine gunner terminal AI on shoreline, because I had no clue how it worked, and haven't died in a PVP fight so far. I play on a 1080ti and 7700k, with AT BEST 60-80 FPs, and about a 40 FPS average on Streets. Game is still playable, I still stomp, and you're just making excuses. Granted, this game is POORLY optimized, but learn the fundamentals first and your rig becomes secondary.
Dabwizard112
Scav reserve, and just learn to loot K-buildings and everything around in 5 minutes, then take 1 of 2 easy extracts. Or go Interchange and hit up the new tent area outside, or the top left part of the entrance of idea. It's 2 levels full of good loot.

Reviving an old thread, but mine was a paper weight for years. Ironically, my cleaning lady flung one of diamondium terp pearls while she was cleaning and I consider it lost. I tried using just 1 4mm diamondium pearl and figured I would give the OTP a shot again. Surprisingly, it definitely gets some spin and there is some good vapor production. Two pearls with a joystick without spinning seemed to produce the most flavor, but I'm satisfied with the spin of just one pearl and will be bringing the OTP into the rotation. After like 3 years lol.

Welcome to the world of dabs. It's definitely a rabbit hole that will continue to separate you from your money the deeper you go lol. Starting equipment I would recommend something easy to use, with some level of portability, that doesn't require too much of a learning curve. Nectar collectors are okay, but when you decide to level up to rosin, you'll likely want something that really gives you the best bang for your buck in the flavor department. I would recommend a Puffco Peak or Pivot. Eventually, you can move to a rig and torch or e-nail setup when you want something more dedicated. Those are great because you can really dial in your dabbing techniques and enhance your smoking experience with different material inserts and what not. Some diamondium terp pearls enhance the vaporization and flavor of your concentrates like night and day basically.
Just remember, low diffusion and small volume rigs are the best for maximizing flavor with your concentrates.

I've been smoking on Michigan rosin for years now, and right off the bat the consistency of all of their jars was evident, and had everything I was looking for. I was impressed by some other vendors like Hunna & Organitron, but as I made it to the last vendor of the loop and grabbed some Flyin Hawaiian, the market got shut down. I regret not getting some good flower.
Sun grown rosin has a slightly more deeper & complex flavor profile that I have gotten from these crystal drift jars. Very satisfied with my purchase and glad to have met these folks and made a connection. I'm not sure if the market will be back but I'm gonna check out terp traders in January.
Dabwizard112
Looks like some beautiful smoke man. I didn't get a chance to stop and chat with strangely rooted at the market. Missed out with that and Organitron. I did however, stop and chat with Crystal Drift for quite a while. They are new on the MI rosin scene, but have mostly sun grown rosin on their menu. It is by and large some of the best rosin I have had out of Michigan in some time. The terps are all excellent, but most importantly every single strain is a heavy hitter. It really made me change my opinion toward some quality sun grown flower & concentrates.
Dabwizard112
I've never actually counted dabs per jar. I mostly go by how many days it lasts me. I only smoke rosin, and on average it takes me about 5 - 6 days to get through a 2g puck. I like to take between 3-5 dabs a day.
Dabwizard112
First time seeing or hearing about Crystal Drift. They were really knowledgable about their process and product, and I had a great conversation with them. I ended up picking up a half from them and I am excited to try the flavors.
Dabwizard112
If one were to get there a little late, say around 8 PM, is there still a solid selection of good hash rosin?
Dabwizard112
I was working with the last Matty B drop. Papaya Melonz slapped. Very flavorful and true to its name, along with a potency to match. Probably the most potent strain out of the zip I had. Oishi, Zkittles OG, Cookies N Creme, and Dreamsicle #2 had a great red pop flavor. Slurrup was terpy - like a minty citrus slushie, but lacked effects-wise for me.
Dabwizard112
Just coincidentally got done with a dab of cheesequake so I'll chime in lol. I've worked through some of the jam as well but prefer the cold cure. Love the Point Break, Purple Ice Water, Project Haze Brulee. Got a mixed zip of Terpstyle and Select Pheno, and while SP definitely had some standouts, I feel like TS was just louder in all respects. One of my favorite producers along with Fort Wendy. The Cheesequake is one of the most medicinal strains I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying.

The battery definitely does not compare to the Pockety, but it's been fine for the amount that I use it. I take between 3-5 dabs a day and by the end of the day I am sitting at around 70% battery and sessions of 1:40.
Dabwizard112
Great while it worked but it ran quite hot and I had it just below the maximum temperature on the Peak. Unfortunately after maybe 15 dabs the 5D wouldn't heat past 407 degrees anymore and red lighted. Thanks for the reminder though because I have an email open with JCVAP.
I switched over to the 3DXL after some apprehension, and adding 2 4mm diamondium terp pearls makes the experience and flavor comparable to what I had before with the JCVAPs. I probably won't buy another though because I have gone through 5 atomizers and have had enough. I find that keeping the 3DXL on the stock low setting with standard vapor is best for flavor and vapor, and again very comparable to what I had with the AlN cup on my JCVAP.
Dabwizard112
Zee is pretty great and like 5 minutes from my house. I also shop for my terps in Michigan but I've never actually been there lol. I'll have to scoop this one up as well since this past week I have only been dry hitting my peak.
Dabwizard112
I have been smoking hash rosin only for years, and the best luck I have had with the 3DXL flavorwise has been on the stock low setting with vapor set at standard. I have gone as low as 450 on the XL vapor setting, and honestly the vapor produced by the 3DXL is far less flavorful than my last 3D JCVAP setup with AlN insert. I started using the 5D RDA now with the AlN chamber, and the flavor is there again. I will attempt 420 with the 3DXL this time and see how I feel about it. 3DXL is best for vapor production, heat up times, and portability - but any 3rd party chamber with SiC/AlN/Diamondium inserts will be far superior for low temp flavorful dabs.
Dabwizard112
As someone who just upgraded to a Puffco 3DXL & Peak Pro V2 - I can handily say that even the 3D JCVAP atomizer with an AlN insert was far superior flavor-wise to the 3DXL. The heat-up times were longer, it did take about 8 - 12 draws to vaporize a huge glob, but if going purely by flavor then there is no comparison. I actually have a 5D chamber sitting around here with the AlN already in it that I never used, so I am going to try it and compare. My main issue with the 3D JCVAP was the amount of times I had to rebuild it before it would stop working entirely.
The 3DXL is the far more efficient option, but if you're vaporizing the best hash rosin available, then I think you put a lot more weight towards flavor.
The pro move is never having to leave the house at all, honestly. I go through a zip of rosin every month or two. At that point, making that many trips wouldn't even be worth it.
