how to have fun with the vape... you gotta go deep

[skullznroses]

So... small story made short.

me weed.

hahaha. no seriously thats a little too short. Me love the weed-idge. Me no lika smoking all day. It makes my lungs yellow and brown. So now there is the vape. I can barely stay on the thing for more then one day before taking massive bong loading sessions. Ive had a few 2 day long stretches recently that have been good. I managed to get relatively high with the vape and not smoke. My lungs feel better.

Just tonight I decided to smoke the 4, then the 5th then the 6th bag out of my vape from the same pack. Man... I think I have finally bridged the rainbow passing... This vape actually got me high. I don't know, maybe its the beer, maybe its the weed... but I finally feel high off the vape and I think its cause I went into the extra innings with the subsequent extra bags... they must have contained the body buzz I always thought was missing from vaping.

This thread is to all the other stoners out there trying not to get high with smoking, and is trying to vape in vain.

How can you get the most outta the vaping experience?

With my vape, I always started at a low temp working up until the weed was a dark dark chocolate color. I never felt any missing high that so many people speak of.

Had the same problems as you, lung problems. Looked into vapes and bought a few only to be disappointed, weak highs and shitty taste....

Switched over to a TI nail and oil ONLY. Lungs have NEVER been better, except for before I started smoking....

Completely changed the way I get high, I DONT smoke weed anymore, hence my signature....

thcx guys

yeah I get that both ways.

Ive never been fond of going dark dark brown with the vape, cause it seemed counterproductive. Now I realise my normal high with the same bud is there, you just gotta vape the same bowl longer. The high is really an unscientific thing, but we all have struggled with the non-high feeling from vaping. WTF, my normal drug worxs, whats with this shite? The issue is the body high and subsequent goofy feeling.

I have been vaping and bong heavy loading the same bud this harvest season and its the body high that you miss with short vaping or only vaping a few bags. I think I gotta totally recommend doing extra innings with the bag.

As for the oil option... man IDK Im a novice oil maker. Im good, but lack real equipment. Ive got a years worth of OD swagg to make oil with, but the cans get Xspensive right? I gotta move south... to Cali I guess. Perhaps now Washington, perhaps Drug-a-rado? IDK. lol

I don't know why some people don't get as high when they vape. Perhaps the trick is a good technique. I always get much higher vaping than smoking weed. Like @Sour Deez said, I also start at 195 °C (383 °F) and then gradually raise the temperature up to 240 °C (464 °F). You should inhale relatively slowly, compared to smoking, and stir the contents of the bowl often. I think with vaporizers it takes some time to figure them out for optimum performance. I own Arizer Extreme Q.

This website has some good info about vaporizers and related stuff: Vaporpedia

I smoke through any medium (gotta appreciate it all!)...but when at home 90% of the time i'm taking oil rips like yourself. Only thing is, I figured it's bad for you long term...I guess it depends on how well you purge your medicine, what grade/how old your ti pad is, etc.

Point of this post is...have you seen any information 1st hand to coincide with what you said? I've been poking around online and haven't found anything that seemed definitive.

what are you asking? that's krunchbubble's personal experience, eh?

the only problem with a vape is packing the herb too tight, if it's a convection vape. the trichomes MUST ALL be exposed to the hot air flow to get a vapor cloud. conduction vapes are just the opposite, but imho aren't as effective at extracting the cannabinoids.

 

[Max Headroom]

all i can say is that the weed needs to be ground up really fine. then it works best.

vaping gets me much higher than smoking.

 

[puffinpass]

When I vape with the volcano, I feel like I started smoking all over again...I dont know I guess maybe everybody's different. i love vaping. oil? damn, I love how intense the high is, but def dont feel so good on the lungs even after its been purged for a good while. I have a lot of doubts about oil's consumption safety. nobody even knows if its really safe or not.

 

[puffinpass]

and grinding buds for the vape is a must. It creates more surface area, which creates really dense vapors thus being more potent/strong, than if not grinded

 

[immaculate]

This thread is posted on a weekly basis (probably daily if we consider all the weed forums out there). The things SIMPLY DO NOT WORK IN ANY CONVENIENT CAPACITY. How many times does it have to be said (and demonstrated)?

There's enough information out there on this subject.

It's obvious why cannaBIZ publications and members of the vapor cult won't approach this topic with any sort of impartiality.

Fuck vaporizers, I'd like to know more about Tashkin's study that bore results which proved that people who didn't smoke anything at all were more likely to develop lung cancer than people who smoked cannabis on the regular.

I mean, seriously. I don't get it. I'm all about trying phoenix tears, but it never made sense to me how weed culture ("dabs" might be a Cali thing) has deviated away from the natural completeness of the plant itself and has resorted to cannabinoid extraction methods that require using solvents that are straight up POISONOUS to the human body. It's fuckin' dumb really. It's so stoner chic.

Well, I go through this thought process on a daily basis, so to me its worth talking it out, because even the most experienced smoker can learn something new, or hear a new opinion.

"Dabs" are a thing if you got wax, but yeah honestly its mainly a Cali or other med state thing, I think its not made by a lot of people and most of them are in californiae

I don't think smoking any plant matter, or inhaling anything other then virgin air is technically good for you. Smoking oil is still inhaling smoke, but its probably cooled in a bong right? I know when you use a vape that the effect on the body is less. Its so small its only barely irritating. That being said ive smoked oil that was very clean, and would tax the lungs less.

Ive just been vaping for some time now. I am finally getting high, but honestly it has taken me 35 minutes from start to finish, but it does seem like the high is elevating. Yeah the general advice given hear is all correct as far as I can tell. You must -

warm up machine
fill receptacle lightly
grind well
use for multiple bags or long time with many pokings
use Arizer or Volcano
temp close to 200 deg

Well, for me its part about it taking forever that makes me skip to the bong. I really feel the vape is better, but honestly I can't sit down to medicate for 40 minutes 3 times a day and get anything else accomplished.

yes to all this...

I've had several Vapes nothing is as effective as the volcano.

I get to another level with the volcano, can seriously make me feel like a beginner whiteys and all.

I set the temp to 430*, cut up the weed with scissors, load the chamber near full close to a gram or so, and use a bag that is a good 2 -3 feet long, the biggest factor for getting ripped off a vape is Take small hits and hold them in until no vapor is blown out do the whole bag to the face, that way, and tell me that isnt the most ripped you have been in years

my vape is 7.5 minutes start to finish for one session.
