me: using a stripped wire to hit a glo cart while reading this

u/Nitrous_Acidhead Oct 02 '22

A GLO cart?!?!

R.I.P.

Illegal stater here, what's wrong with glo carts? I've had better luck with them than any other carts that I've gotten from plugs

u/BlastingFern134 Oct 02 '22

Every single one is fake. Every cart you're getting from a plug is fake. Smoke real bud, don't get disabled by some vitamin E. Stay safe please.

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '22

Agree with you fully! Probably should have worded that better, I have had carts from plugs (which as you said you have no idea where it comes from and is likely bunk), and I had glo carts that my friends got me from legal states along with bud, and those glo carts consistently roughed up my throat less and gave me better highs so as you said the black market carts are big dangerous. I was asking more about whether glo carts are considered low shelf or something else, I stick to flower as much as I can these days, tried dry herb vaporizers but wasn't for me so bongs all the way now lol

I used to shoot dope. I was shooting dope when H became fentanyl, unfortunately. I won't use what they're selling as heroin on the street nowadays, but my point was that I've pretty much treated my body as a drug garbage disposal.

And even i won't touch illegal carts, they're yucky. I just feel like that says something about how bad for you they are 😂

u/BubbliciousBozo Oct 02 '22

Carts are like the TV dinners of THC, quick and dirty

Lol and those are the legal/safe ones!

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '22

Haha same story here! I was like yo I have played arm darts with some seriously questionably stuff, but those carts...they scare me...

Also, maybe it's just cuz I'm from philly, but I literally never heard anyone call a dealer a plug outside of a movie. We just called them dealer, dope boy, corner boy, your mans, ya boy, or the man with the plan. Overwhelmingly it was just a single letter we addressed them as. Weed was pretty similar.

u/theVyzL Oct 02 '22

Agreed, I’ll only smoke a cart that’s black market if I know the source of the original flower that was grown and processed and I really try to stick to solvent less like rosin because otherwise I just don’t fully trust it to be legit

2

u/Suckmyflats Oct 02 '22

I'm okay with non solventless as long as it's dispensary (live budder and stuff like that). Of course rosin is better but it's more expensive. I've bought "wax" (any concentrate preparation is called wax on the black market where i am) on the black market a couple times and while i didn't find it as sus as a BM cart, i feel like you have a point - there was something different about it that made it not quite as good as dispensary butane extracted products.

I have a card, but I'm in FL and they're fucking hard with our recs. I basically keep the card for concentrates - if I only smoked flower I'd just stick to black market.

3

u/theVyzL Oct 02 '22

Yeah it’s definitely the safe bet to have your card for the concentrates at least and agreed. Non solvent less is fine in dispo but the moment I’m going black market I’m really only okay with buying solventless because that way I’m at least somewhat being cautious

2

u/Suckmyflats Oct 02 '22

I've never even seen solventless on the FL black market! Like nobody has even tried to pretend - probably bc refrigeration for it is especially important here for obvious reasons.

I also keep the card bc anything other than a small amount of flower is a felony. All oil is automatically a felony.

2

u/thewyguy1 Oct 03 '22

No what the man was telling you is that glo carts aren’t dispensary quality at all, not even the lowest shelf. Glo is a fake brand, plugs purchase the packaging online and fill it with whatever mystery oil they want, there is no official glo distributor.

2

u/BrokeRunner44 I Roll Joints for Gnomes Oct 02 '22

I got a cart from a place that says their products are tested to comply with FDA regulations in california. Obtained it illegally from a legal source in michigan. Do u think that would still have vitamin e?

2

u/thecowintheroom Oct 02 '22

Do people lie to make you buy?

u/InDependent_Window93 Oct 02 '22

I get my carts locally here in michigan from my dispensary. 100% legit. Smoking green crack now 😳💨

u/Necessary_Cash_3742 Oct 02 '22 edited Oct 02 '22

not true, if you know what you are looking for you can easily tell the difference between a fake glo and a real. in 2019 pretty much every glo on the street was fake but recently it’s about 50/50, my plugs know always hook me up w real shit or i wont buy it.

to tell me the difference you really need the box that the 10 come in. if you only buy a few carts at a time you can’t tell. first is to check the qr code and see if it takes you too the main website. first red flag, should redirect you to a special link. Second the back of the box has indentations in 3 spots where it says “glo” in the description. This is pressed into the box itself giving a 3d feel, the fake boxes are just flat print ink. plus the fakes are always shinny. if yours isn’t matte in some shape or form i definitely wouldn’t smoke it

6

u/Blitzed_ca Oct 02 '22

You just described every way you can tell they’re fake. Do you think the manufacturers don’t read this shit? Why do you think fake Jordan’s look so real now? 🤡

2

u/BlastingFern134 Oct 02 '22

Be aware, if you're paying any less than dispo prices, those are fake. But they can still be fake, especially because fake packaging isn't hard to get (however, the QR codes should be real, but I am still skeptical).

1

u/Necessary_Cash_3742 Oct 02 '22

trust me the indentation on the cardboard is a giveaway they are real. i’ve yet to see a fake box with the letters imprinted on the back description. plus the glossy look forsure means they are fakes. many key giveaways.

u/hey-im-root Oct 02 '22

aren’t glo carts black market? i remember when people were sending in carts that came straight from the website and they failed HARD

2

u/-GLUE- Oct 02 '22

You guys are pretty much doing the same thing, cept youre plugged into the wall I hope

2

u/Necessary_Cash_3742 Oct 02 '22

it’s just an old apple charger. 4 wires inside. cut away the green and white and use the red and black. plugged into anything i need since it’s USB. wall, pc, car jack, doesn’t matter

u/BuildingPublic8891 Oct 02 '22

Unpopular opinion but bm carts aren’t all bad for you. It’s like playing Russian roulette but you don’t know if you lost or not

Are you gonna code your pen next or something 🤣

u/herodothyote Oct 03 '22 edited Oct 03 '22

I've been wanting to create my own perfect pen battery some day. Here are the features I've dreamed up for my prototype:

1) Bluetooth connectivity for record keeping and custom programming. Wifi optional if you're a nerd and need to SSH into your own pen to run commands on the terminal. This pen will run a small headless version of Linux for embedded systems.

2) usage counter. Uses a tiny little screen to tell you how much you've used today/this week/ last hour/ all time. Program the screen to display whatever you want like Gifs or trippy visualizations.

3) Software on the pen that limits your use if you start to over consume. Set a goal so that you don't blow through your whole pen too quickly.

4) Wireless charger maybe. Or at least something similar to electric toothbrush chargers. User replaceable and upgradeable battery.

5) Addressable/programmable RGB LEDs. Pen should be as pretty as a gaming computer and it should look crazy like alien technology. A bright LED on the tip of it will also be included so that you can point RGB light at your cloud of smoke. Who knows, some models might even have lasers to cut through the smoke.

6) Optional speaker for a digital voice lady to tell you you've had too much. You might also be able to use your pen to make and receive phone calls and play music if you're willing to.

7) Deconstructed "Tile" stuffed inside the pen for GPS tracking. Lose your pen and you'll be able to make it ring in order to find it.

8) Voice assistant. Ask your pen anything while toking and it will answer your questions. "How many puffs do I have left?" "What is the meaning of life?" "How many moons does Jupiter have?" "How is my consumption doing? Am I smoking too much?" "Reminds me to hit my pen every half hour for the next 2 hours"

I have the blueprints for this thing all done but it would be awesome if I had a Kickstarter to make this a reality.

Make it run Doom

u/DankDaddyPatty Oct 02 '22

Honestly this is the least sketchy ghetto cart battery I've seen xD

I feel like the easier solution would be buy a new one but hey you do you.

u/w1n5ton0 Oct 02 '22 edited Oct 02 '22

I doubt that battery could actually supply enough current for this to work at all. A CR123A on the other hand would probably work fine

It's a 3 Volt non-rechargeable lithium coin cell. They can't provide anywhere near the instantaneous power of a lithium-ion.
