  • It’s crazy, given that all these devices have something powerful like an esp32, isn’t it?

    I’ve done some of my home stuff this way, but I had to program it myself. Tasmota has some features which can be used without a server, but that’s just for simple stuff like switches. For whatever reason (simplicity for non tech people?), out of the box products don’t work this way.

    If you don’t have days of spare time, you buy ready made products and set them up in minutes in Home Assistant

    Reporting from the battlefield, the grinding made the vapor thicker than I’ve ever seen from this device. Amazing, thank you for the tip sen-pai.

    As for the effect, I’m definitely stoned but not uplifted. We’ll see how it goes as time passes, maybe it will take some time for the full effect to work.

    Huh. I have not been grinding, maybe that’s the problem. Lots of good hints overall, I need to sit down with your post in the evening and try doing it exactly as you said. Maybe from there on I’ll find my own way :) I’m a lightweight too, smoking maybe once or twice a month

    Thank you for the write-up!

    I only get the bad effects of smoking with a dry herbs vaporizer, not the good ones. At the recommended 180-200 degrees it’s just dizziness and no fun at all. At 220 degrees there is some fun effect but much smaller than when smoking in a regular way. So my dry herb vape is in a drawer, unused.

    Two pitfalls I had that you can avoid:

    • look at efficiency. It’s not always neglible, was like 40% of my energy usage because I oversized the UPS. The efficiency is calculated from top power the UPS can supply. 96% efficient 3kW UPS eats 4% of 3kW, 120 watts, even if the load you connected is much smaller than 3kW
    • look at noise level. Mine was loud almost like a rack server, because of all the fans.

    I replaced that noisy, power hungry beast with a small quiet 900W APC and I couldn’t be happier
