End of the world scenario…

Zombies are outside…

The power grid is gone…

Amazon doesn’t exist anymore…

You get ONE dry herb vape and whatever fuel source it needs.

What’s coming with you?

My first instinct was an analogue or stick vape… until I realized that eventually the butane runs out too and I don’t know how to make it lol

That sent me down a rabbit hole. Has anyone ever built a truly off-grid dry herb vape? Something that could be heated over a campfire, with an open flame, or by some other renewable heat source? Or even a portable that could realistically be charged from a small solar panel?

I’m genuinely curious if anything like that exists, or if every vape eventually depends on modern infrastructure.

Now I’m also wondering, how long would it take to heat up a Tempest 2 or a stick vape with a BIC lighter or an open flame?

You have power banks with solar panel, one vape that’s a difficult choice

If I had a power source, it would be my SSV.

If there was only Butane, I’d bring a Glass Sherlock Vapor Genie.

If there was no power source, not even butane, I go for the Okin from Dan Morrison.

Would it be possible to heat a Dynavap with a magnifying glass and the sun?

An American Indian sweat lodge comes to mind: heat up rocks, put flour on them, and inhale the vapor.

It would be my Simrell and I have seen it heated in a small fire pit. There is a video of it somewhere on the Simrell discord.

Im pretty sure it was Zero that did it also did one heating on the coil burner of a stove.

I guess it is stick vapes for the win lol

I think I would bring a dynavap as lots of options there once you get a flame involved. But really if you have already a solar panel charger and battery, which you probably would or could find, then the next question is all about power efficiency. What vape is most efficient but still satisfying? Not sure the answer to this, but that becomes the question…

I think fresh flower, or any sort of flower will probably hard to find in this situation as well, so I would want to microdose and be as efficient as possible so my definite go to would be the Simrell Ti.

I have a beautiful one with Purple Heart wood and I am consistently blown away about how rocked it can get me off such a little amount of flower​:melting_face:

This is awesome and also means that I can vape on non-sunny days!! lol… I have to admit, I giggled way too much at the beginning at the action required to get the vape up to temp :man_shrugging::joy:

With a stainless steel or cast iron pan, if you use the Leidenfrost test with a drop of water, you know the pan is around 400-450 degrees F, then maybe you can put a stick vape with a flat end standing up on the pan to heat it up. A CXL would probably work pretty well this way. Maybe you could heat the cap with the bowl/stem off and then press the bowl into the cap and lift up the whole thing and hit it.
