EDIT: oh, I realized I have a question for you, too - so, I bought this like disposable USB-chargeable vape pen, and it has a lot of juice left, but I've noticed when I suck to get it started, it just won't "hit" or heat up ... it's like there is oil clogging something that is necessary to get it started?

Sometimes I have to suck really hard for minutes to get it going (there is no button as far as I can tell to get it started).

Any suggestions on how to get it to work more reliably? Am I supposed to be cleaning or maintenance-ing this pen in a way I don't know about?

Thanks!

oh, right - cannabis

(EDIT: I use it to cope from laser hair removal, which feels a bit like being poked with a hot iron over and over again)

[–] emotional_soup_88@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

OUCH.

Well, I'm not gonna take advantage of somebody who's coping. :)

But I can ask a decent question! Was the removal expensive?

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yes, extremely expensive - like, a significant portion of my savings and multiple months of my net income

[–] emotional_soup_88@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dang. Well, I emptied my pockets on therapy the last two years. Some things are just worth it or necessary. Hope you're satisfied with the end result! ^^

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

yes, especially for my face it's basically necessary - it definitely makes me a lot more comfortable with my body - having hair in the wrong places is a distress I've ignored most of my life, so it's good that it's finally getting addressed 😅
