Excellent resources out there for people looking to avoid combustion. I suggest you start at http://www.reddit.com/r/vaporents or http://www.fuckcombustion.com. For specific 510-threaded battery and oil/distillate cartridge recommendations, check out http://www.reddit.com/r/oilpen. And if you want to dive into pens specifically for solid concentrate, hit http://www.reddit.com/r/Waxpen.
I'm brand new to cartridge style vape pens starting just this week when I got my card. And now that I've tried them, I'm thinking that's really the way to go for convenience and stealth.
I went to my dispensary a couple of days ago and was talking about various options, and the guy recommended a vape pen, and then gave me a free one (branded with the Cresco logo, so it's likely a cheap promotional item) with the purchase of a 500 milligram cartridge of Durban Poison Live Liquid Resin for $55. That shit is potent! Based on just a couple of days experience, I'm guessing it will last me quite a while, like a month or more. (YMMV - I'm not a heavy doser, and mix things up with edibles, smoking and vaping.)
So if you're just starting out vaping, I'd recommend telling your dispensary person that, and asking if they have any special deals if you buy a cartridge - you may get a vape free.
Btw, my dispensary also has pre-loaded disposable vapes. I didn't get one and don't recall what the cost was, but it wasn't very much, somewhere around the cost of the set up I got.
Couple to a few weeks. Basically when you send something they accept you'll be approved. You keep your place in line you're just standing off to the side for a bit.

day 92. Maybe Monday will be our day!
February 1st will be day
I had to renew my license and changed my address then. I think that was about 3 weeks after I submitted my application online. Today is day 69 for me and I hope there are no issues.
Well looks here, scroll to the bottom: http://www.mca-il.com/patients-illinois-cannabis/

I’m 11/05, so 2 days ahead of you.
You should be able to go to the dispensary with your QP# and a state ID. I would call them and ask.

I’ve had my card for a little over a month. Safe to say: there is no going back. Life is so much better with the card.
You’ll never take my access to the best cannabis!!

Hopefully we’ll get to use Provisional before our cards come the 2nd or 3rd week in Feb
Yes, the law says you should be able to do this, but the state hasn't been following the letter of the law. Many people have already called and asked, and the answer is no, you can't do this until the state implements provisional access. It appears now that they're looking at Feb. 1 for that, but if I had a farm, I wouldn't bet it on PA being available on that date.
Should be, but can't. You need the card and ID to get into a dispensary. Someday you will need your card or the provisional document and ID. But that day was not 8/28, 12/1 or today.
That's not a state website.
I'm still iffy on how much it helps. Sleep, OMG, yes. And they say sleep helps everything else (except my migraines, which may have been worse for a while but tomorrow makes a week since my last one).
I see people complaining about prices. It's the same price I was given on the street for an 8th. Slightly more for a 4th. Probably much better prices on 1/2 (actually the 1/2 I got was the price of a street 1/4). Quality is as good as I've seen, tasted or felt in recent years, far above anything back in my active stoner days.
I can't compare to other states, but I hear people from those states complaining just like I hear people from IL complaining. I think people just like to complain.
While doing the daily grind I was thinking how with legal weed everyone is worried about how it is grown and if it is safe. When it was illegal weed nobody cared if it was sprayed with paraquat or who's ass it was stuffed in to get it across the border.
This is exactly why I decided to finally go with a medical card, and give up on street weed. Now I know exactly what I'm getting every single time.
And that is one thing IL got right from the start so we shouldn't have the problems the west coast is having.
