    Help me select a good PH meter. I have an inexpensive Hanna that takes forever for

    the reading to stabilize. I can get a Milwaukee PH51 meter locally for $80.00. Are there any meters that work quickly for under a $100? Thanks, vm

    Holding it in

    I have seen dvd's on MJ in which the smoker inhales and immediately exhales. Is it bad to hold the smoke in for awhile? I always thought that holding it in gives you the maximum stone for you bud. VM
