  • Thanks! I’m sorry you’re dealing with similar pain, it’s exhausting. Hopefully you find some relief soon.

    I don’t remember what each of the assisted stretches were, but the one that was the most magical was literally just me lying prone on the table while he put both hands way low on my back/hips and just leaned his weight into them in the right way. There was another where I was on my back and would rotate my hips as though i was going to lie on my side, but kept my shoulders on the ground. The leg on the outside of the rotation was bent at the knee, and he would assist.

    I’ve had my partner attempt both about a million times and it’s nice, but it’s not the same as when my PT did it. That goes for most of the other stretches and massage too, even the exercise was better when he was involved because he could correct my form and explain what was being worked and why.

    The fact that he understood the physiology so well meant he knew exactly how to manipulate the muscles, tendons, nerves, etc and which stretches to recommend based on my physiology and injury etc.

    I’m sure everyone’s experience will be different, but an experienced PT absolutely helped me for that particular pain and I definitely recommend looking into it.





  • Finally bought in via Dynavap and after a few days of fiddling with it I was sold.

    Back in 2020 I finally switched from smoking cigarettes to an e-cig, and the switch is very similar to that. Going thru that experience made it much easier to accept that initially the hits would feel unsatisfying but it doesn’t feel that way for long.

    I have zero desire for smoking cigarettes anymore - the flavor is gross and harsh. Its already looking like I’ll eventually feel the same about smoking herb. I still smoke a social joint or bowl on occasion but now that vaping gives me the taste of the herb with no harsh, I just prefer it.

    Way easier on the wallet too.


  • Yes it’s intense, it’s definitely the quickest route to onset and intensity of effect (which is great for someone like me who uses primarily for medical reasons). If smoking flower is like drinking a beer, dabs are like doing shots. Absolutely the best taste, too. Doing them regularly will fuck your tolerance though, and mostly ruined me on the taste of smoking.

    If you’re primarily into flower and not a heavy user i would try dry-herb vaping flower instead of smoking it, I highly recommend it. Finally got on the Dynavap train and can’t say enough good things about it. Super efficient (I’m still in awe of this), you can taste your herb instead of smoke, waaaay easier on lungs & throat (I’ve never coughed on a hit). Amazing for microdosing & working your way up to your preferred high too.






  • I still prefer dabs to anything else, but I recently switched from smoking flower to vaporizing using a Dynavap and once I got the hang of it (and got used to the feel of vapor vs smoke) it has quickly become my go to.

    My consumption has effectively halved overnight, my lungs feel way better, I get way higher off less weed, and I can actually taste my flower instead of just smoke.

    Definitely recommend a Dyna if you’re new to dry herb vapes - super simple mechanical function, no batteries or expensive parts to replace (it’s manually lighter/torch heated), and low investment up front (my buddy got his Dynavap “B” for like $40)
