If you are vaping, is there even a need to cure the weed at all? If your vaporizing the trics/thc anyhow, why cure it? Any ideas?
wow, thank you all for the informative responses. For vaping, is there a time period for curing your bud vs. regular smoking? I realize it's all ball park figures here. Thanks again for all of your help. Cheers!
Another quick question. I ordered a grinder to use with my new vaporizer, was this needed? I ask because doesn't grinding up the trichs hurt the strength of the weed? Or would it be better to just put in VERY small nuggets, like clipped with scissors and small enough to let the air flow through the bowl? How do you grind yours up? Also, I haven't smoked week in years and years. I'm vaping for the first time. Can I expect to be knocked on my ass pretty good? lol I'm gonna be smoking sweet caramel auto flowering. Or am I just over thinking this whole process lolyou can vape bud earlier on in the curing process than if it were to be smoked.
probably not by much though but you could probably cut it off 2-3 weeks ahead of time and just start vaping, if its sticky and gooey not too wet it should be good to vape, smoking wise doesnt burn so well though.
i also have to note using a card, tray and scissors lets you cut your herb up much more finely than a grinder ever could, another reason my hero grower always told me to do this because he would always roll these killer blunts and hated when i used a grinder for it, because it didnt get the bud cut as fine, like said by AG the better the surface area the better the hit.
sadly ive spent hundreds of dollars on grinders also, space cases and diamond grinders, all good fun but to me just never worked as well as the good old tray, card and scissors.
how could i forget, having a water filter attachment or even ghetto rigging your own (i broke mine in a being to high incident had to make one) is freaking the best. depending on what vape your getting of course, but if you can add it to it by all means do so, you will be amazed at how you cant even feel the hits with a water filter on top of it being vape already, plus its like super super healthy with that added on and you can add some cold water in that bitch and inhale till you bust a lung without feeling anything, well until it starts to enter your blood stream lol.
best place to get water attachments for vaporizers hands down is.
http://dabuddhavaporizer.com/custom-glass/water-filters.html they are a little pricey but so fucking worth it. they are hella nice to, wish i didnt break mine.
all whips come with a tube where you have to inhale, these water filters are made to be attached to the tubes end where you would inhale and you just use your vape like you normally would.
plus its like a sherlock i loved holding it.
see the tube just goes on the green end where you would normally inhale, instead of having to worry about joints. though if you found a cheaper method use it. these arent that hard to make so its hard to make a bad one. i just love dabuddha glass and vaporizer way too much so im always plugging their stuff
^^ thats the exact one i got for my SSV. I love it.
You cant really tell in that pic, the base kind of curves in the center so the arms touch the bottom, which forces everything out the slits, which is nice.
I use a grinder also. But towards the end of the pack, I will break up the bud even further since its all dried out. When im done it comes out the consistency of sand, and a chocolate color.
only thing i absolutely hated with my SSV was that god damn design, how it leans forward. so many whips where broken due to many of my friends just not knowing any better, but i was so stoked once i saw they made the dabuddha, cause its the SSV without the lean and to me a much better design overall and comes standard hands free. the glass cover for the heating element seems much better to me as well, cause its more open. i also liked the the new whip design they made, cause it has a hour glass design so you get that lil tornado swirl that makes it extra smooth. plus it has the awesome buddha engraved onto it.. lol. DBV for life!
