Any fellow blind cannabis users? (self.Blind)
submitted by Prefect316
Hey all, I am also totally blind, not one of those idea guys who pop in here with an idea for an invention and never get back with us about it.
I am curious though: With the advent of vaporizers that are primarily screen-based, are you all encountering issues getting your sesh started? I was recently thinking that a vaporizer with haptic feedback for when the product is heated to the optimal temperature. I first started thinking about this while hitting an old school bong with a pull carb. For these, you have to pull out the bowl once the chamber is filled with smoke. But how do we tell? I usually count in my head, but it's not always a fool proof system.
Anyway, it's about 4:20 and I'm extra curious right now.
Would a vape with haptic feedback be something that helps people out or is just another vibrating cane situation?

My buddy actually has a herbal vape that vibrates when it's ready to hit. It's already a thing. I don't remember the brand but I know it was a higher-end vape that he paid a lot for.

Look at a unit called the crafty. Gives vibration feedback, has extremely bright high contrast lighting on it, and has a semiaccessible app and it connects to the unit via Bluetooth.

I've been vaping for about 4 years. There are plenty of vapes across all the feature sets that have vibration or audible feedback. I've tried the Crafty, the Firewood 4 and the Pax 3 that all had vibration. I've also used vapes that don't, and some work better than others. It really depends what kind of vape you're looking for.
A good place to do some research is the F***Combustion forum. I don't think I can post the link but it's pretty easy to find. Convection vs conduction vs hybrid heating, time it takes to hit temperature, bowl size, battery life vs charge time or replacement, USB C, Micro USB or custom chargers etc. are all things to consider. It can get pretty intense. There are also vapes that you can attach to an ECig type mod, but that does tend to get a little complicated and requires caution, though there are a few complete configured kits around.
A good vape to consider that's just been released by a company known for making good quality products is the Fury Edge by Healthy Rips. It's pretty easy to pack, plenty of accessories, vibration, fast heating, good battery life and charges via USB C.

My caseworker and I are just now broaching the topic of cannabis use versus my rather horrible anti-anxiety medication. I smoked on occasion years ago, and was nervous about trying to roll joints or pack bowls on my own. She suggested vapes or edibles instead.
I'd say go forward with your idea and see if you can get it marketed. More options are always welcome!

Good luck to you as you try and replace that medication. If you do go the cannabis route, vaporizers are your best bet for ease and simplicity. Experiment with CBD as well. The anxiety-relieving properties are still being studied, but in an overwhelming amount of anecdotal reports it does wonders.

I think it's a good idea. I have an old arizer that beeps when it reaches the right temp but I don't know if the new ones still do that and it's not ideal for single hits. I have a flowermate for short sessions and I just time it before I hit it. Setting the temp was a real pain though and I don't really mess with that once it's set. You can't go wrong with a bong! It's still my preferred way to imbibe.

I think that's a good idea. I do edibles though.
