HAS SCIENCE PROVEN VAPING IS MORE POTENT

I read allot of threads on vaping vs smoking and it seems cannabis users still seem to get most out of their weed by combusting it. However most articles I read online still insist that vaping is better. I know its better for my health but i still feel higher from smoking. Do many of you who have tried vaping ignore the science and stick to the method you like best,? even though you know it will be less healthy. ?

I only vape when I need to disguise the smell. My mind KNOW's it's not as potent as smoking, it's a temporary substitute.:tiphat:

science ????? do you mean like all the science attached to the defoliation debate or something that actually proves that one is better than the other for everybody every time.

i own a silver surfer that i don't mind loaning to friends because i just don't use it a lot, but if you think you are borrowing my rolling papers you're high

:dueling:been vapeing for 7 years or so, about 95% of the time and will never go back to burning. IMO, vapeing does not, hit for hit, get you higher than burning. The reason? when you burn, it combusts 100% of the tricomes. Vaping probably only vaporizes 85% to 90% of the tricomes, the other 10-15% is tossed and wasted. If one try's to 'vape' 100%, you're burning and might as well be smoking a joint. The better the weed, the higher one gets, burn or vape. Brick weed (generally) is less potent than 'the kind' so take away 15% of available THC from vapeing brick weed and I can see why many think, "vapeing doesn't get me as high". I can vape b4 I go out and still have a good buzz 2-3 hours later, the weed is very good. couple all this with some less expensive (and less effective and CHEAPER) vaporizers out there gives vapeing that "it doesn't get me as high" reputation. :2cents::tiphat:

EDIT: Wait until more start using cannajuice in their electronic 'I want to quit smoking' pens. then there will be more controversy.

In my experience, I get higher for longer with a gram of bud if I use my vaporizer. Smoking is faster and easier, and you get more per hit. Vaping takes more time and patience.

I make strong capsules with the vaped buds, so I don't waste anything. The high from the capsules seems more sedating for a given strain compared to the high from vaping. Smoking is different since you get all the cannabinoids and terpenes at the same time.

I don't like vaping as much as smoking a bong or a j. I have tried all the models too.... the high is better for me smokeing but for pain mgmnt vaping is just as effective.. 1 gram 1 joint..
