Vape Love/Hate ***Warning***

[slowandeasy]

Everyone has a different definition of "compromise". To say vaping has no effect on either is untrue. This is why you should test drive first.

A good vaporizer and a clean bong will enhance the flavors. Smoking causes combustion, which alters the smell, taste, and flavor. I will agree that not all vaporizers are alike, and you should choose wisely. I have the Extreme Q, Da Buddha, MFLB, and my favorite weapon of choice, the Herbalaire. Each good in their own way.

I started vaping with a Steinel heat gun and bong....a very long time ago. I have tried almost every brand. The Herbalaire blows them all out of the water. It is the only Vaporizer that you do not grind your bud. By not grinding, the flavor is much stronger...because you do not crush the trichs while grinding. Super efficient and you can fill bags, whip style, direct, or direct to Bong...the only way I roll. No hose, the hoses dilute the taste. If anyone is in the market for a new vape, seriously look into it.

i loved my extreme for about 2 months, after that, the high wasnt the same, and i went back to smoking. it did do a great job of making me tired

 

[THC123]

some people prefer the more relaxed, narcotic high from smoking.

maybe it is just me but i seriously get WAY more wasted when vaping

i get narcotic highs and stony couchlocks with vaping

and i only vape at 185-190

long live vaping

a bonghit gets me really high really fast buit the effect doesnt last as long , vaping takes a lil longer but just wow , never had these effects with smoking


after vaping 2-4 bags i am sometimes ready to throw away in the garbage bin , lol just useless


but before work i sometimes take a bonghit cuz it gives me a high that allows me to function

 

[FuknRowdy]

I don't stay high anywhere near as long when I use a vaporizer, but sometimes I get past the low ceiling that some buds seem to have with it, so it's a trade.

I have noticed that it does seem to make some strains taste the same. Overpowering lemon lime seems to be the most common I've found. Anybody have an idea as to why this is? I've tried a wide variety, and I will occasionally find something different, but this boring lemon lime isn't as awesome as it sounds lol. Ideas?

 

[RedRain]

i find vaping really brings out the true flavor of pot...

sativas i vape at a much lower temp than indicas

if you arent getting any taste i would think that you are running your machine to hot....

 

[b8man]

It does depend a lot on strain. My Mandala #1 is a nicely euphoric smoke, but an average buzz on my vape. c99 was best vaped.

Generally I get much higher vaping with my volcano than I can smoking. But it's partly because I run it at 170-190 which keeps it very much a "high" not "stoned" buzz. The buzz from smoking is more rounded and has a quicker onset, so it's nice to have a clean, flavorful rip from a solid glass bubbler before moving on to vapeing. Makes the high a bit more fun IMHO.

 

[Darth Fader]

Yeah, I've just had the vape flavor epiphany. Using Da Budda for a week now after sort of trying it & shelving it. Tried it w/ some nice Tahoe and damn you can taste that dank. Smoke masks and mutes flavor IMO.

 

[LAcon]

Anybody figured out a good way to smoke oil out of their extreme? I can't get a cotton ball to work lol

Not familiar with the extreme but if it's a whip style like I think it is, like my Super Silver Surfer, you gotta put some herb down first then oil. Check out a product called the essential vape. Or get a Ti Pad and dome or a concentrate bowl and nail. That's my concentrate arsenal, lol. They can all be found in most smoke shops if you have good headddy shops or online retailers like aqualabtechnologies

Can't go along with those who say ya can't get a proper hit from vape.

like others say just turn it up.

the first daze with my Q i thought because the herb was away from the heating element it was cooler so i was turning it up max 210.

I was gettin blazed and gettin milky hits that made me cough and i never cough, well rarely even with massive bonghits. Something just coated the throat and it made me have a nasty dry cough. that actually tasted like i had been smokin pipe resin.

my bag was so sticky after 24hrs the fan wasn't strong enough to un stick the innerbag.

that shit was in my lungs and i could feel and taste it i was also getting couchloch and only massive doses of budder do that.

so i figured i was doin somethin wrong.

after playin a bit i decided a 5 min wait with the weed in place on 185 fill the first bag on 185 until i actually see the milk coming out then turn down to 180 the second bag on 180/175 and third 175/170.

I also grabbed a roll of the clear plastic bags in the veg section of my grocier (woulda loved ta pay but don't think he needs to Q's in his head) they are a little smaller than the stock sac and i use 2 so once i start the fan i only turn it off to switch sacs.

That is my Love part of it cause that method gives me really nice hits with taste & buzz i Love.

oh i don't grind or break up the bud either like i did at first single nugz that fit nice n snug

i can go a week w/o changing the bags compared to 24hrs so you guyz who jack up the temps if your gettin really sticky sacs your lungs are gettin that as well.

Bud left from one bag to the next in a Volcano doesn't seem to lose as much as bud left in the Q that glass gets hot and hotter even with the temps stationary thats why i keep dropin it as i go and do one bag right after another.

If you can't wait and need a hit now high temps are necessary with the Q unlike the Volcano.

my ABV bud smells really hoppy and nasty does this carry into the budder haven't tried that yet but doesn't seem like the results will be tasty. Is it worth it?

 

[Babbabud]

Ive owned a cpl top of the line vapes ... i prefer to smoke joints . In fact i dont smoke any pot through pipes ...joints only .. pipes are made for hash

 

[Bobby Stainless]

Me and Babba smokin doobs.

Look it's simple, the high we get smoking marijuana isn't just from THC. THC is but one of dozens of cannabinoids present in marijuana resin. While THC is the one most commonly associated with "getting high" there are many others that make up the overall high of a strain. It varies too from strain to strain because the composition of cannabinoids varies strain to strain. That's why some strains are more of a cerebral high and others are more of a narcotic body stone.

Now most people know that there are different elements in the resin that make up the overall high but what many don't know is that each of these cannabinoids vap at different temps. That's why turning the temp up or down on the vaporizer gives you different highs while smoking the same stuff. It's also part of the reason why so many feel that something is lost when using a vaporizer. Although part of that feeling of something lost is also because we as smokers do get conditioned to all of the experience, even the bad parts and so if some of the bad stuff is removed, something will feel lost.

 

[BornToBeWild]

I like a good joint maybe 2grams, to know what I have consumed. If I vape have a volcano and after maybe 3 bags it soaks in and hits me hard and I'm a walking zombie can't get things done, almost like eating cannabudder or edibles don't know how much consumed then BANG stoned to the bone

But take a few joints can go fishing etc.

 

[Mr. Bongjangles]

Combustion rips are not much different than working around sewage or other offensive odors - eventually you get used to the smell/taste, and it is only when removed from it for a while that you can again notice it.

Doesn't matter how proper your weed is, combustion rips = tar. It tastes disgusting, and is horrible for your lungs, even if it lacks the carcinogenic components of tobacco tar.

Anyways, long as we're on the topic, I gotta recommend the vrip wand for anybody on the fence about vaping. Feels natural to use cause you hit it directly through the bong, and no other vape is capable of generating hits as tasty and thick. Turning up the temperature in any vape will thicken up the hit, but it's also about how responsive & accurate the heating element is, thus giving bigger hits at the same temperature and more even extraction.

i'd been hearing alot about vaporizing for a couple of years so i was excited when a friend asked if i'd like his because he no longer uses it anymore. i was really looking forward to the experience but when it was all said and done i found myself feeling a bit disappointed. while i will agree that it is far superior for the purposes of enjoying the flavor and aroma of a fine ganja i just do not seem to get any effect from it. i vaped 3 bowls of some unnamed yet decent kind bud but barely felt anything yet later when we smoked a joint using that same amount of bud i got good and blazed. i think there is a very subjective element to it though so i would never dismiss the process.

 

[Euphrates]

Vape all the way- Personally I get a fuller effect that lasts longer when vaping. Getting a good desktop vape was well worth it; I can still get thick milkly bong hits from a vape- that would mimic smoking, but allot cleaner.

My body can't stand smoking anything tho, it makes me feel sick and my body luggish, plus I feel it can induce a headache easily. Vaping does seem to be a superior delivery method compared to smoking. I think all med patients would benefit from having one.

Turning up the temperature in any vape will thicken up the hit, but it's also about how responsive & accurate the heating element is, thus giving bigger hits at the same temperature and more even extraction.

Good of you to mention that; their are allot of crappy vaporizers around, but w/ some researching, you can find some that won't be to costly. I think that's maybe why some people are put of with getting a vape, the price. If i wasn't pushed by semi-serious health concerns to try a vape, I don't know if I would have one today.


That video is awesome -

There's a big difference between a bad vape and a good vape. Anyone with a vape that really works wouldn't give it away. And there's also technique to be learned to make sure you get ripped.

Until I tried the volcano I didn't really believe in vapes, but it really gets you a lot higher on a lot less weed. Try to try one.

 

[GET MO]

tried most vapes, favorite one the heat gun with the bong, yeah even over the 'volcanoe'. That bein said, vapeing makes most herbs taste damn near the same to me, n I dont like the vapor taste. I get the shiny blue n silver zig zags and call it a day. vapen just aint for me. vapor companies got a lot of money out of me tho... damnit...

 

[THC123]

f I vape have a volcano and after maybe 3 bags it soaks in and hits me hard and I'm a walking zombie can't get things done, almost like eating cannabudder or edibles don't know how much consumed then BANG stoned to the bone

indeed i dont get people saying they dont get stoned on a vape

i just get way way way more stoned/ high /incapacitated with a vape then with a bong or a joint

i just love vaping , i taste the smell of the herb , i dont cough in the morning , i can fill my lungs with air from top to bottom


i only smoke if i really really wanna get high away from home or when i have lots of stress


and that is cuz i used to be a cig smoker and it is the act of inhaling smoke that calms me down , but it sure as hell does nowhere near get me as high as with a vape

 

[Coco_nuts]

I dunno, i vapo bonged for a while but i seem to get higher off combustion (used a herbalaire to vapo bong), it could all be in my head tho....

Crap thing about a vapo bong is it takes like 10min to smoke, i can hit two regualr bongs and be on my merry way in like 90 seconds.

If vapo bong was quicker id probably be able to convert, i get bored sitting there sucking on the thing like 10 - 15 times.
