The record Jimi Hendrix listened to on his first acid trip - The Bluntness

Despite the grueling nature of the ‘chitlin circuit’, comprising venues in the eastern, southern, and upper Midwest areas of the United States, Hendrix honed his craft by borrowing crowd-pleasing techniques from T-Bone Walker and Buddy Guy.

Puffco Peak Pro Review

If you’re looking to get into dabs, the good news is you no longer have to start with a little rinky dink rig from your local headshop and a torch whose flame refuses to get high enough for the ice water hash you just bought.

Instead, advancements in technology have made it where you can skip past the traditional rite of passage, and step right into the big leagues for your first taste of oil. Removing leftover concentrate is crucial to ensure optimal performance during dabbing sessions, and modern devices are designed with this in mind.
