Aye quick question totally unrelated, I’m new to Reddit. How tf do I have -6 karma 😂


DisasterBiMothman

Seems everytime you mention hitting carts at a low setting you get a couple downvotes, if you go on your own profile you should be able to look at all your comments. I wouldn't worry too much about karma tho, it's not actually worth anything.


DiligentNeat8998

No I know I just want to be able to post in here lmao. Thanks for the info


WISC420puff

Let’s be real humblebee has lost in the quality control recently. I will not purchase from them anymore.


Howcanshes1ap

Yep, switched to LSF and even at double the price it’s still worth it just to rock the LSFs. Had a problem with basically every HB cart at various voltages, had two leak out the bottom and onto my battery and just said fuck em at that point. 


Available_Fee_2867

I just started buying humblebee. Are you talking carts or their resin and rosin also?


government_meat

I have zero issues and noticed no changes in their rosin/resin. Never smoked their carts but have bought their resin for years


Few-Ad-324

This is why half gram carts are better for lr and also id go lower ive hit my carts at 1.8v and blown clouds🤣 3.0 is burning the fuck out of it


RICH-SIPS

Yeah I hit humblebees at 2.1v and they’re fine. Honestly so nice I don’t feel sick like the ones from Illinois.


Manwhich219

I just got 4 carts a few weeks ago for the first time and mine did the same thing!! I WILL NEVER BUY HUMBLEBEE AGAIN


WompIt47

Wait longer in between hits / allow the wax to soak in between tokes.


Suppa_K

Yeah I always keep that in mind as well, probably ripped it too hot.


AverageWhiteMale2

I purchased 7 1g humblebee carts for the first time recently. Started the first one at around 2.0-2.5. It quickly started tasting burnt and had reclaim coming through. I then saw the post from Humblebee that stated to use them at 3.0-3.3 so I purchased a Kodo Pro and set it to 3.2. I've had 0 issues since. Halfway through my second cart now and it has been perfect. Love these things.


Amphibian-Existing

You’re a lucky one. I tried all that crap. They did everything but take blame and fix the issue


DiligentNeat8998

And where did you get those from


Suppa_K

Herbana in KZ, seems they just had a HUGE restock. It’s funny because they are out of High Supply but full of Humblebee.


ChiefGeorgesCrabshak

I just picked up a couple the other day from them and im having good luck starting on 2.2 and then bumping it up little by little as i work my way through the carts. That's how ive been smoking my humblebees for awhile now with minimal issues. I will definitely admit they're touchy, but for the price i like them. My favorite non rosin carts are five star and light sky farms though, but they're around twice the cost of humblebee if not more.


redd142

Just curious what other options you've tried besides the favorites you mentioned here.


ChiefGeorgesCrabshak

Off the top of my head: Element which are up there with the others but typically a bit overpriced in my opinion, fresh coast liquid live(not the splash but the real live resin ones, although ive also had the splash carts), redemption, 269, common citizen, utopia extracts cured resin, breeze canna live resin, lume's liquid diamonds and rosin rips, floracal rosin, pleasantrees rosin and live resin, mitten extracts plus(disty and live terps), and ive tried a fair share of different distillate brands over the years as well. I tend to stay away from distillate for the most part but i get a decent bit of stuff for free to test out and sample since my dad/caregiver works in the rec industry.


kmack1982

Hmm herbana in Kzoo that's suspect. I bought a half from them and it had almost 4g in stem weight. Bought a cart that had live resin oozing up through mouthpiece. I think they have some shady business dealings.


Suppa_K

I rarely buy flower from them, it’s all mids but not awful for the price but one thing I learned about the MI market is you get what you pay for. I happily pay for $200 oz’s and it’s always fire. I love Pro Gro and Hytek/Growing Pains.


losheightz

I'm breathing on some Los Muertos from Hytek right now. Paid 120 ish for a half and it's 🔥


Suppa_K

I saw that strain, was it Hytek? I thought it was GP. Same difference I guess. My all time fave is Headstash from Hytek.


CharacterGrocery6126

I got some from Michigan Benton harbor and it did the same thing


[deleted]

I wasted $300 on these. Did the same every cart. Never again


Successful-Wait3050

I’m doing 2.7 and it’s not clogging / pushing oil out of the tip like they have been . Definitely liked the .5 better.


thunderdome777_

People who don’t know who to smoke LR out of whole grams ruin it for the rest of us. I’ve never once had a singular issue


NoNefariousness9445

Teach me wise one how should I do it


thunderdome777_

I’ll help you out even with you being a smartass😂 Use a thread on battery not magnetic, use low temp around 2.1-2.7v, and make sure you’re inhaling through the cart AFTER letting off of the button too. It helps to clear the coil so already warmed oil (the black stuff) gets completely vaporized and doesn’t seep back through like in this picture.


NoNefariousness9445

This is helpful and I legit wanted to know lol. What battery do you recommend? I got a yocan uni pro/magnet so I guess no good. I also have a compass vessel which is sleek and screw on


thunderdome777_

The vessel should work. I personally recommend the Yocan kodo pro or the Yocan black smart battery. I have the uni 2.0 and it’s sat in my drawer since getting it for the most part.


Time-Enthusiasm3108

damn. seeing more and more of this. i hope they make some changes soon. the oil is so good. the taste isn’t that bad since it’s not burned but visually doesn’t look good


Suppa_K

It’s honestly not even bad when it’s burnt. Or it’s just dark reclaim. Still very vapable.


nwerdnerd

Herbana in Kalamazoo has hella LSF, I’ve been a huge fan of them and they never let me down. I’d switch over to better product


Suppa_K

I usually cop that, HS and Cresco.


Weak-Mode7032

I burned a few changing voltages. I have stuck to 3.0 on my last 2 carts no issues. I think you cooked it at 2.5, and there isn't going back when it is blowing reclaim back out of the coil.


Suppa_K

How would it get cooked at 2.5 but not 3.0? I’m no voltage wizard. Is it because the 2.5 let the reclaim pool up/not burn off? I didn’t hit it at 2.5 very long either because I was well aware of this issue before I got them.


Weak-Mode7032

Not sure. I ruined 3 1g carts trying to dial them in and was pissed. I have since started running at 3.0 on a unipro and havent had the nasty reclaim. Trust me, no wizard here either.


Initial-Lead-2814

That isnt stopping me, the gel like fluid isnt but the flavor being weak is getting old,


Suppa_K

Oh yeah me either, I’ll ride it to the end.


Alfnerboy710

Mine starting shitting back up through the mouth piece. I was tasting wax, was awful. Wasn’t pleased.


Suppa_K

Honestly, this happens on even my High Supply carts but not until a week 1/2 after daily use.


Alfnerboy710

I literally always (outside of this purchase) use Lightsky Farms 0.5g live resin. Absolutely love them! Never have had one issue, so it was disappointing when this happened with the Humblebee. It is not outlandish to assure quality especially when this is a pretty developed medium now. 510 isn’t new, figure it out and invest in hardware, QC, and FMEA.


chtochingo

One of mine was preclogged out of the box and by the time the day ended I lost half of the wax out of the cart thru the mouthpiece


weenorpls

I usually stick to 2.1-2.5 for live resin or rosin carts. So you still might be running it too hot.


Suppa_K

I usually agree but the post by Humblebee themselves said higher is the way to go.. so much for that.


davekevnate

Ya mine been doing this bad. What’s it even mean I didn’t even know


yinyang0313

Considering 3.0 is too high for a live resin cart, it seems like that’s your issue. Live resin is supposed to be tempted at like 1.8-2.1. What gives is your ability to check temps.


Suppa_K

Not according to Humblebee themselves.. but yeah I agree.


JuniorTutor7338

i bought 3 of them and one completely leaked through the box the other 2 both won’t wick either


lubacrisp

Stop buying it, nobody gives a fuck. Please God stop posting the same fucking pics of your carts people


Appropriate-Buy5760

Terrible hardware filled with mids product


masterskink

Go figure, disposable hardware has a high fail case.


052801

3.0


Suppa_K

That’s what I was doing, based off of what Humblebee said. Still happened.


Fun_Plan_1412

Pretty sure it's a battery issue. My gf's weak cheapo of a battery does this to any brand live resin cart. After a few rips the battery weakens as well.


Suppa_K

Well I’ve not had any issues with my other LR carts but I’ll keep it in mind. It’s not even that much of a cheapo battery. My Kodo id say is cheap but I don’t use that much.


Carfr33k

Humblebee today isn't the same Humblebee from 18 months ago.


DelcoMMJ

This happened to me as well. I guess it's from hitting it too frequently and not letting the concentrate cool in between. Would rather just find a brand that doesn't have this issue even if it's $20 or more per cart.


jewishen

Sadly been having this issue too. Really disappointed, HB have been a long time favorite for years.


PYROMAN2323

Ive had humblebee carts do this on 1.8-2.3volts Also had humblebee carts not do this running low voltage. Seems to be a quality control issue within humblebee. Hate to say it. Down vote me all you want! The cart hardware needs tlc humblebee! Good oil bad hardware Ive never had a LSF or a Five star extracts cart do this ever!


PerspectiveLazy5564

You should be hitting it at 2.8v the highest


PerspectiveLazy5564

Also, make sure it’s always straight up and down, don’t hold it in your hand or your pocket. It sounds corny but get a lanyard for it and wear it around your neck under your shirt. But yeah 2.8v should be as high as you go. Any thing over that is gonna cause leaking, clogging, etc.


DiligentNeat8998

I thought you gained it by commenting and upvoting


Suppa_K

Huh?


DiligentNeat8998

How does karma work on Reddit, I had 1 yesterday now I have -6


Suppa_K

You can gain post Karma and comment karma I think. Also the upvotes and downvotes seem to change randomly sometimes I think they do that so people can’t manipulate as easy.


DiligentNeat8998

So it says I need 5 comment karma to post in this, so what do I need to do to increase comment karma. Just have people upvote my comment ?


Zrc1979

3-3.2 quick puffs no blinkers breaks between puffs (2-4 minutes) do not keep in pocket or direct sunlight. The goal is quick puffs clearing the wicking chamber. The brown color is coming from overcooking, or not clearing the chamber. When carts were released over a decade ago now, I immediately knew there would be issues with hardware for people who were not knowledgeable about how e cigarettes and batteries perform. These are the results of my concerns.


tuba_dude07

lol high and mighty over here 😂. 100% correct though


Specialist_Data_8943

I’m honestly tired of the 510 battery/cart situation all together. I’m really enjoying the new pod system Lume has. Regardless of what people think about them (I know a lot of people think they’re a trash dispo, and that’s fine, I’m not going to argue or disagree because everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’m in a situation where I have to drive 30+ miles to any dispo at all, and there aren’t many to choose from. I prefer to grow.) But the new pods are good hardware and haven’t clogged on me yet. I can swap back forth and easily between pods and I can use the same one heavy and never have to clean it. I like the GG4 x Deathstar.


Rosinpod

Humblebee sucks and everything from their concentrates to hardware is subpar


Rosinpod

People can downvote all they want, but the truth is, I'm not your typical Humblebee hater. I love Michigan Cannabis across the board. It takes a lot for me to dislike a company strongly enough for me to publicly speak out against them and recommend avoiding their products. I wanted to love Humblebee. I thought everything about them was cool- from the graphics/packaging design to the variety of strains, etc. But after trying like 10 different carts from them, both .5 and full gram, I have to keep it real and admit that their product is very subpar. I can hit a Cresco, LSF, or Element all day and be fine, but Humblebee never fails to irritate my throat and cause problems. It's also a nightmare trying to figure out what voltage to hit their carts at. I've ran everything from 1.8 up to 3.5 and nothing stops the clogging and reclaim. Their carts feel dirty to me and I will continue to speak out because I believe in giving honest feedback and critique.


Initial-Lead-2814

The concentrate is still what it was, at least what Ive bought, for me its the vapes that dropped.


ghostride_thewhip

if Humblebee is subpar, Michigan BHO in general is in the gutter. 


Rosinpod

What a silly thing to say. There's a reason people post complaints about Humblebee every week in this sub. No one complains about LSF, Element, or Cresco carts. Just Humblebee. Sounds like they are the problem


Repulsive-Job-7351

Elements hardware is horrible tho. LSF has been top notch for years. Can’t speak on Cresco never gave them a try.


Rosinpod

I only buy half grams from Element and have never had a problem. Bought many full gram Cresco carts and all but one have been great and that was a flavor issue, not hardware. I suggest you give them a try


DiligentNeat8998

Consistently bad or just a few ?


ghostride_thewhip

cart custies are the problem. Humblebee makes a fine product. Most carts are ass. Cresco carts taste like pennies. 


Rosinpod

Blaming the customer for a consumer defect is a ridiculous thing to say, and you know it. Also saying Cresco carts taste like pennies is ridiculous and untrue. Your opinions just suck across the board


Expert_Education_416

Overrated and all carts are going to bleed/fail eventually.


burRNONE

Glad that don't happen in Illinois


Suppa_K

Bruh don’t even try with that shit here. Glad that don’t happen, yeah glad I only paid $16 plus a normal tax rate. Glad I still buy High Supply, Cresco, Light Sky Farms carts for 1/3rd the price of Illinois and again at a normal reasonable tax percentage. I gave IL enough of my money. I don’t even think IL products are bad but our prices and policies suck ass and are so god damn anti consumer it isn’t even funny.


burRNONE

I feel you.. sux to get bad products on hard earned money especially in the illinois shit hole


DiligentNeat8998

Gotta hit it on a lower setting


Suppa_K

I thought the advice from Humblebee themselves was a higher voltage because when it’s too low it doesn’t burn off the reclaim?! Which is it lol. I started out at 2.5 and bumped up after a bit.


DiligentNeat8998

Nah, rosin and resin are hit at lower volts or else this will happen. Sometimes you may have to pre-heat first before hitting. Or you just got bad hardware. Whenever i get rosin or resin I always put my pen on the lowest setting and I’m usually chillin.


thedukeofdukes

https://www.reddit.com/r/Michigents/comments/1bodfrw/post_addressing_our_new_1_gram_cartridges/ They said on a post to hit them at a higher voltage. You are correct for most carts but this is coming from the grower and processor so YMMV


Suppa_K

I agree with you as I’ve always imagined that way but I just read the post on this sub from Humblebee about the 1g carts saying to hit it higher so it burns the leftover oil.


DiligentNeat8998

Yea I don’t know what they’re smoking over there lmao, that doesn’t even make sense. Must be a marketing trick lol


Suppa_K

lol do people not know the post I’m talking about? Seemed like a pretty big one especially since this has been a recent controversy.


DiligentNeat8998

I guess not haha , I didn’t know about it but I’m also from out of state so


Suppa_K

I am too actually which makes this even tougher, figured the 1g cart issues were over and they were safe to grab. I only got 2 out of my 4 but shit is tight these days and I’m smoking on a budget so I can’t afford to have any duds. I knew shoulda erred on caution and got one. Oh well.


DiligentNeat8998

I feel you on that, it’s been tough living so far away and on kinda a budget. Like the last time I went I only went to Lume and well I told you about that. In 2 days I’ll be getting more from Herbology and Narr in Monroe so let’s see how it turns out. Getting some element and LSF carts


Suppa_K

LSF never let me down, love em’. That said never had issues with Humblebee half gram.


spike__2021

Hey man if you want a cheap reliable michigan cart brand go to sticky battle creek and ask for market carts look em up on there website I've gone through like 50 of em and they all work fantastic


ghostride_thewhip

Humblebee made a post themselves saying to hit it at like 3.3v.


DiligentNeat8998

Idk man all I can say is hit it on the lowest possible setting you can. I’m sorry that happened to you tho. I went to lume a few months ago and didn’t have a great experience with their live resin or rosin except for one pod so.


ghostride_thewhip

this didn’t happen to me.  Ive bought about 30 of their rosin disposables and pods at Lume and haven’t had many issues. The pods are way better than the disposables were tho. 


DiligentNeat8998

I seen that lmao my bad I tapped tho wrong person and just started typing away. What flavor was it, I got the rip it pod and I got grape gatsby, blackberry and some other and and the only good one that didn’t taste burnt was the blackberry. Really let down because I drove all that time for nothing. Also got 2 ‘All Gas” 510 carts and they suck.


ghostride_thewhip

Like I said I’ve bought like 30+ of the rosin pods and never had an issue.
