“Okay, I don't fly much, so my travel gear only has to fit into the back, or on the roof of, my fine Swedish touring wagon. In fact, one of the reasons I don't fly is I don't care for the modern experience, most notably the TSA requirements and the trend toward all carry-on. But, while I personally miss the days when most of our gear was stowed in the hold and the overhead bins still had room for free blankets, I was intrigued by the perspectives of two such seasoned and enthusiastic travelers. I was drawn in by the romantic concept of traveling light, with all my needs in one obsessively organized package. Still, I tremble at the thought of traveling without a skateboard, mountain bike, and maybe a canoe--all of which will earn me luggage surchages (except the canoe, which will just elicit stern glares). So one of the bags may not be for me.
However, I am in the market for a portable vaporizer. I've used a plug-in model for years, and I love everything about it. I'm really psyched that technology is finally making portable vaporizers practical. I had been looking at the Pax, but, as Zeni notes, it uses plastic and metal intead of glass. I'm excited to head down to my local shop and check out the Davinci--especially since it will be perfectly legal to use here in Oregon as of July, 2015.
On that topic, I hope that as we head into a new era of cannabis tolerance, Xeni recognizes the world of cannabis users isn't divided into "Holy crap I need my fix!" and "My doctor has recommended a hybrid strain with 18 percent THC and 3 percent CBD vaporized at 345 degrees to mitigate my symptoms." Weed is good medicine for physical ailments, to be sure, but it also has a wide range of therapeutic properties people enjoy for everything from creative inspiration to sensual stimulation. People using weed for all sorts of reasons deserve a clean, healthy hit. Let's not denigrate some kitties just because they like the catnip.”

“I've been a regular BoingBoing reader for a while and have enjoyed the gadgets posts but have never actually listened to the podcast until now. I'm not much of a podcast listener either but I may become one. The ease of conversation between hosts was pleasant and the level of detail discussed was...”Read full review »
