There's a vaporent community and a vaporists community. Neither have been active for almost a year. It would be nice to have one of those going to see what everybody's using. I also miss the old old cult/ Franklin/thca groups from r/. Anyone interested in starting one of those?

I have a volcano and a script I wrote to control it via a tasmota power plug. Now my computer plays a clip of snoop dogg when I turn it on and when it's fully heated up. And it automatically turns it off at night if I forget to. I can turn it on from anywhere in the world. I think it's cool, but who cares?

That is wild, now I want a volcano. I'm more into handhelds and love my crafty+ but that's wild enough to make me think about buying one

Dude honestly the Volcano rules. I've had mine almost 20 years now and I've had a screw rattle loose and the plastic airflow button broke ($10 part) and that's it. I also bought a Crafty+ and I hardly ever use it. The Volcano is definitely smoother and I think hits harder. Plus you can see how heavy your dose is about to be as the bag fills. The power plugs I bought came out to like $10 each I think for a pack of 4.

That's crazy cool! Wouldn't mind seeing a pic or video.

There's not much to see. I made this cool mollyguard for the power button out of a clear bud capsule. This way nobody flips the switch when I expect it to stay on all the time and I can see the power light through it.

Lemmy is failing to upload my images, so here's 2 links:

Volcano (excuse the mess, I found I spilled some inside last night and tried to clean it lol)

My dinky menu I use for it sometimes

Inb4 burglars care because it can be used to track when you're at home and when you're away on a holiday

I know the chances are far lower for custom stuff when compared to cheap IP cameras, but having anything open to the internet should leave you extra paranoid.

It's actually not open on the internet, it's only on my LAN. I ssh in to access it if I'm out which is rare so it's very safe. These Tasmota plugs are great because they use Free software firmware (which I updated from the web, not the manufacturer), I trust them a lot more than any other IOT device.
