Vaping over rated??

Vap'ing is definitely underrated. I've been vaping for about 7 years (not exclusively, mind you) and I've now owned 3 different kinds of vaporizer technologies. So far I'm happiest with my Iolite for portable use, and my Vaporbrother's for home use. I still enjoy the occasional smoke, but vaping 90% of the time is where it's at for me and my medical needs.

smoking is overrated

i mean the volcano guives a better and stronger effect and i use way less than before

i'll never go back to smoking again

what he said.

if my house was burning down and i could only grab one posession without a doubt i'm grabbing the volcano.

I've had my silver surfer for about a year now and I love it. I very rarely smoke anymore and if i do it's cause someone else already has a j rolled up and i may take a puff or two. I think the taste is so much better infact when I smoke now it tastes like some reg and has no flavor compared to that of my vape. I won't lie I really miss the huge bong rips and sittin back passing a joint around with friends. I don't miss how my throat always felt sore the following morning and all the mucus like shit i'd cough up.
For some they just won't like the high you get from a vape and would rather smoke since everyone is different.
The only negative i see in vaping is that it's not as convinent if your out somewhere, it's easier to just load up a bowl or roll a j versus having to pull out the vape and plug it up somewhere. I however always bring my vape with me anywhere I go if i plan on smoking or vaping i should say :biggrin:

Under Rated not over! I have been vaping for over 7 years and have built or bought many different kinds. For me, the best way to vape is with my Da Buddha vaporizer (made by the Silver Surfer people) hooked up to my water bong. You get the best of both worlds! The ice condenses the Vapor, producing a much thicker hit. You can take as big or small of a hit you want, and it is nice and cold. This method can give you a buzz ranging from a nice energetic glow to "Wow, didn't need that last hit" feeling.

I vape prolly 95% of the time. My lungs feel great and when I do smoke, it is very harsh and tastes half as good to me. I do understand why some people do not like it as much. Some people like the feeling of smoke in the lungs, vaping will choke you...but it is more of a tickle. Different sensation and different buzz. Vaping is way clean, as in taste and buzz. You dont feel the downer effects as much, which I like. To each is own, but vaping is highly underrated. It is way more healthy, better buzz, better taste, and it does not stank your house up like a bunch of hippies.

If you own a volcano or any other bag type vaporizer or that is the only kind you have tried...I promise a good whip style vaperizor hooked up to a bong filled with ice will get you higher. Alot of my friends did not like vaping with the bag, but when I started using the bong/whip vape they love it. Give it a try, you will be high!!

I HAVE A V-TOWER , I use my bong.

It sits in my drawer doing nothing.

ID say vapeing is deffinitly over rated for someone who smokes on an everyday basis and HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE.

For a new user or mild user vapeing probably gets them baked of there ass thats why they love it . I smoke blunts and still need more,It kind of rediculous.

i'm a cannabis consumer for 42 years and i vape 100% of the time now. Adult on-set asthma (a made-up condition, i think) and i can't tolerate smoke.

also, when switching from smoking to vaping, the vapor will clear out the lungs which can be a lot of coughing for several weeks --- it will pass.

doesn't have to be 5 minutes to startup - my vape goes from power on to first toke in 90 seconds - battery powered so i can take it anywhere. i particularly like vaping on the balcony.

I used to hate on vaping until I had a really good vape session. I still prefer smoking for everyday use, but I hope to get a vaporizer once I got some extra scrilla.

when i use a bowl and matches, i can vaporize the bud, anyway, if i hold the match right and breathe right. and i can also burn it to get EVERYTHING. i can take it anywhere, pack as big of a bowl as i want, and it tastes soooo good. that, in a nutshell, is why i prefer smoking to vaping.

but i wouldnt mind someone buying me a nice vape for my bday :)

I use the Extreme. Excellent piece of machinery and there new model is out now. Keep in mind the hotter you put your vap at the more plant you will burn So if you want a big hit with allot of smoke turn up the heat of course this defeats the purpose of vaporizing.

It's definitely a different high. It will clear your lungs if you're congested... etc.

But it doesn't replace sparking a fattie or taking a bong rip, imo.

Had a Volcano back when and SWIM has one now. It's just not the same. A bong hit is just satisfying in a way sucking on plastic just fails at.

You get the real taste, you destroy all them trichomes that sit around in vape-trash. People try to tell me they, everyone, gets higher off of vapes. I just don't feel it, and I've tried vapes besides the volcano. For me, vapes are not as good a stone, not as fun.

Many years ago I was super pysched to try vaping, so I've checked high times and internet designs from back when you couldn't even buy vapes all the way up to modern gear. It all seemed to make sense, but it just always has left me feeling like I'm missing out.

Also medically it always seems to take a lot of pain-killing properties away, just my experience.

I use a Vripmaster vapor chamber bowl on my bong and a Volcano. My wife likes the Volcano and I like the Vripmaster, it's like replacing your lighter with a hot air gun. Killer bong hits without burning the weed. I get way higher than using the Volcano and it's a moist hit not dry like the 'cano.

I used to have the same type of set up, trust me a good whip style vape and bong is much easier than holding that stupid gun all the time. I still have a Steinel digital heat gun, it sits to the side and never gets used anymore. I had a bag hooked up to it also, same thing as Volcano...but filling bags for yourself is just stupid and every hit tastes the same. Whip/Bong/ice is the best!!

Vaping is amazing (based on Volcano experience). Uses much less weed, gets you higher, tastes amazing and it feels kinda healthy.

But I still smoke pipes and joints because I love that HIT of THC rather than the gradual release of the vape. It's good to have variety.

But everyone should have a vape.

I have a vaporizer and have used every type including the volcano and they all taste the same to me like chestnuts roasting on an open fire or some shit. Give me the taste of a burning doob any day over the taste of anything in a vape.

Your temps are up too high then, because a good clean vape hit from a whip style vape at the right temp tastes way better than a doob. The hits from a bag style will kinda all taste the same.
