Dry Herb Vaping... Thoughts?

by Mutleys

Dry Herb Vaping... Thoughts?

So... new to this site and have not been involved in a community like this for 30 years (back when I was a student.) I switched to a DHV a couple of years ago and haven't looked back. Health concerns aside I find it to be better in every way.
But I am curious as to what percentage of people here use them?
If its the future, Long live the future!

I bought the dynavap m 2019 after being disappointed with my other vape pen, the dynavap is ridiculous it hits like an absolute train from such a little bowl

epix

Ah! Another Dynavap fan. I can’t say enough good things about it. Makes vaping almost as powerful as a joint. Never thought i would be able to get big vape hits like that.

Enjoipanda420

It's now the only way me and the Mrs like it now really, you don't have to use much at all to get a decent high from it! First time we got it was funny, both wondering how the hell we were so battered off 0.1g bowl lol

epix

I know right! I'm getting a nice high off of one of those 0.1 bowls, it's crazy.

Mutleys

You know, I was put off the idea of getting a dynavap because of the need for using a torch. But I've heard so many good things about them I reckon I may just try one. In fact the simplicity is now starting to appeal to me.

Always been a spliff man, never really enjoyed a bong either, really wanted to kick tobacco though so Vape was my only real option... got myself a Dynavap M, total garbage imo, I know it’s loved but honestly just couldn’t get stoned off it, then used my friends Pax 3... same thing, just a light stone as if I’d had saves on a spliff, totally gave up on the idea and went back to smoking.

A few months later I used a friends Flowerpot and the thing blew me away, it’s no doubt still a different stone to smoking a spliff or bing but it’s a totally different league to the Dynavap or the Pax, I can clear a 0.6 bowl in 2 clean hits, maybe a small 3rd hit. Long story short I now own a Flowerpot Weedeater and I’m consuming maybe .2 an evening and I’m nicely stoned from 7-11 on .2 of a gram. I am concerned about tolerance rising as many have described but atm I’m finding I’m saving a lot of herb as opposed to using more.

Mutleys

I love my pax but I am very aware I have very little to compare it to. It gets me to a far nicer place than the same amount of herb in a couple of blunts. But the battery isn't lasting as much as I could do with so am looking around. Thanks for your input. I do like my facts and figures and that gadget is certainly a different solution. Cheers.

Noxa88

You’re more than welcome, I wrote about this elsewhere but you really need to think where and when you vape, how you vape and go on from there, different strokes for different folks, my friend adores his Pax 3 cos it fits his uses, just not mine I guess. For me there’s very few great capes around and many alright vapes, I guess it’s only once you try the best you realise the difference, certainly happened to me. This is where my money would be going if I were you, and if a possibility I’d always go desktop if funds, space and how you use fits as they’re just leagues ahead imo.

Portable:

Milaana 2
S&B Mighty
Ghost MV1

Desktop.

Flowerpot
Glass Symphony
Sublimator
Herborizer Ti
Cloud Evo

Butane.

Lotus
Sticky Brick

So many new toy options i've never even heard of, (other than the mighty.) Cheers. I shall spend some time when I get chance putting my obsessive nature to good use and learn everything there is to know about them. I liked the Pax as it was tiny, didn't require any paraphernalia and if left out on the coffee table didn't get noticed by visitors. The only other one on my shortlist when I was last looking was the DaVinci IQ and curiously nobody has mentioned them. (Im a sucker for a sexy design see.) The Ghost on your list has intrigued me though and as I have mentioned elsewhere its difficult to ignore the rave reviews on the Dynavap, though as you say, horses for courses...

Noxa88

Like me then it seems, obsessive nature at its finest over here, find a topic of interest and spend the next month constantly digging into it, certainly passes the time. The DaVinci IQ from what I know is very similar to the Pax, surely not a bad thing if you enjoyed the Pax originally and everyone likes a new toy! The Ghost imo is a fantastic choice, only used it a few times and really enjoyed it, for portable mostly solo use that would be my pick, will very likely pick one up in a couple of months, if you like a session vape then imo the mighty is top of the tree.

Little edit to my last post, I totally missed suggesting Log vapes, any and all of them are very very impressive from my experience, look into the E nano, underdog, woodscents.

Mutleys

Haha, so you understand the decision process I am undertaking.
I looked into the Log Vap. Way too much trouble for me. I am curious about the Dynavap but my currant shortlist is the Ghost or the Solo. I am certainly intrigued by convection heating. I best start saving...unless anyone knows of a cheaper pure convection oven worthy of a recommendation?

nlxxhz1001

I can’t seem to get along with vaping, I know it’s healthier and all that but for me it seems to make getting high a long drawn out process.
I’ve had the pax, mighty and crafty which I know many people love but they just didn’t hit the spot.
I had a phase where I used the Arizer extreme Q for a while. The whip on it is quite nice to use and you can load around 0.7 -1g at a time but after a while I found I was using ridiculous amounts daily so I just went back to pure spliffs, bongs and the genius pipe.
These days the Genius pipe is probably my favourite way to consume.

Nova

I used to dhv but I found it made my tolerance skyrocket in a silly short amount of time. I'd vape entire ovens and come away feeling nothing so I went back to joints until I bought a bong which I use for flower now.

It's funny because I vape everything else (concentrates/distillate carts). I still have my Pax 2, I might dig it out one day and give it another go.

Mutleys

Curious, I reckon my consumption may have actually gone down a little bit. I use my pax and then I just 'forget' to use it again for a couple of hours as I don't feel the need. I found so long as its packed tight and full its spot on. I once read somewhere that DHV releases different chemicals in the herb as you are just warming it up and not burning it. So you get far more of some chemicals but less of others. Perhaps that's how it can affect tolerances?

mjr9345

I made the switch a few months ago and can really feel the difference in my lungs. My current ‘go-to’ is a dynavap on a bong but I also use a solo II and the mighty which are both great

Mutleys

How are you finding the Solo2? It looks like a nice device. My concern on some of these gadgets was the size of the chamber. I bake alone most of the time so didn't want anything that has to be stacked too much.
I confess id never even heard of a Dynavap until I came to this site. (bows head in shame.)

mjr9345

I also mostly vape solo sessions - solo 2 bowl is a great size for personal use in my opinion. You can always pull the stem out of the device mid session and save it for later.

Re comments above about the dynavap M - if you’re getting vapor you are going to get high, no two ways about it. It holds a lot less than some vapes so comparing one bowl in a dyna to something larger isn’t a very fair comparison. If you use a dynavap properly it’s incredibly efficient, just check out the colour of the abv. I really enjoy it because it nice to use, never runs out of battery etc and is super good for single dosing

Mutleys

Thanks for the info. I am quite taken with the solo 2. It looks like a quality bit of kit and gets good reviews, so I may well start looking out for a deal on them. I have looked at the Dynavap website as so many people on here rate them but I cant quite get my head around it. I shall resort to you tube later. Thanks.

mjr9345

My only negative for the solo (and the Mighty..) is that there isn’t a user replaceable battery. Both devices comes with warranty on the battery for a year I think but Sod’s law it will die just after it runs out!

lawspara87

i am a dry herb vaper, have to be discreet with smell and have quit smoking so its ideal, what you using?

Mutleys

I have a PAX3. I used rizzlas and tobacco for over thirty years but as I have gotten older my lungs started rebelling. So a couple of years ago in desperation I bought a DHV. I was amazed! The high is better, my lungs don't moan, my house doesn't smell (as much) and im not addicted to nicotine. I firmly believe its the future so was just wondering how many people use them and if they are rated.
My Pax is a fair few years old now and the battery isn't up to much so if anyone can recommend a replacement that would be good too. I went with the Pax as it came with a chamber reducing lid which is good for solo work.
What are you using and is it any good?

carverr

S&B Mighty for me, I'll dab shatter and vape carts from time to time but the Mighty is my goto after a long day working and when getting the kids off to bed!

An expensive 3 way that ended with a mighty sucess

Same story for me. Bought a BLK summat-or-other, it was ok but I knew it wasn't going to last long or become part of the family. So after a week I did…

An expensive 3 way that ended with a mighty sucess

So I'm fairly new to this community and still learning the ropes. I did a fair bit of research into vape devices before I started as I wanted to reduce smell but also as I quit smoking (by vaping) many years ago and didn't want to slip into smoking again. I tried weed on my honeymoon in Jamaica where I did smoke and then I found out I could vape dry herb and hence my LB and dry herb vaping journey began.
I have always been a big believer in 'by cheap, buy twice' but being so new to herb vaping I really didn't want to go all out with my first purchase. Regretfully I started off with the blck nova. Avaible for £30 on amazon. I was a little underwhelmed by the level of the high and wasn't really sure what I was doing. A few days later I took another look at what was available. This led me to the starry max v3 available again on amazon. This time the price was £70. This listing came with plenty of great reviews from people claiming that they owned much more expensive devices such as solo, da vinci etc and this stood up to them, so I took the plunge and ordered a second device. It was better, good control and much better airflow, how I was finding it was getting very dirty very quickly.
As part of this forum and a couple on reddit I was consistently exposed to the name 'mighty'. Impulsive as I am I thought 'f##k and just orderered it. It arrives yesterday and all I can say is wow!!! The major difference is the draw, it is so smooth and I really feel I am getting a lung full. The flavour is superb. Along my travels I had been recommended the dosing capsules. These are great for pre prepping also make cleaning a doddle. I have used it three times and you can't even tell its been used because of the dosing capsules. I vaped. 2g kosher Dawg yesterday and was blasted in comparison to the other two devices.
Moral of the story is if you are contemplating stepping up to the next level don't be afraid, the mighty is a monster, I finally feel I'm getting the best from my bud and wish I had gone for that option when I bought my first vape. Long live the mighty!

Bazza 9.9/10

Same.
I’ve ended up with the mighty and plenty. Mighty is amazing, plenty if you want to really really feel it or pass it about, literally a mighty on steroids!

Had a ghost, didn’t like it. zeus arc and gt, not bad but a bad draw. Trying a pax 3 now for portability but thinking I’ll end up with a crafty.
The dosing capsules are great and makes it so easy to take out if needed.

Great write up.

Thank you for the review! I’d also recommend checking out the Dynavap. Cheap manual option, but has been the best vape I’ve tried personally. Compliments an electric one well.

Might have to pick up a mighty myself.

Bazza 9.9/10

Wasn’t a big fan of the dynavape, it went back tbh.
I love the mighty and plenty, well well worth a go epix

epix

Oh really? That sucks. I might love it so much because I’ve only had inferior electrical vapes. I’ll have to try the mighty or plenty. Thanks!

Bazza 9.9/10

I did like the one hit sometimes, but perhaps I was spoiled comparing it with the mighty at the time. Dynavape definitely has its place though, camping, stealth etc I’d imagine. Maybe I wasn’t doing it right though.

2019, a year in a review

A tremendous idea that. I have been smoking weed for 30 years and only really had a break when my local guy 'disappeared'. I am new to LB (this is my … + 2 more

2019, a year in a review

Hi all,

Man... what a year. I've only been on LB for 7 months, but I can say this has been some of the best 7 months of my life. Sure, not only because of LB, I've had some amazing personal accomplishments, but having LB in my life sure has made it all the more fun.

I've had some amazing experiences on here, from the 4-AcO-DMT live trip to the absolutely insane quality of weed and concentrates that I've had on here. I was first introduced to concentrates here at LB, never had access to them before this. These have really brought another level to my weed game. I'm taking a break from them for the moment, but it's a great tool to have in my stoner toolbox.

Speaking of taking breaks... I'm now going to take the month of January off of weed. With all the concentrates and strong bud here, I just felt like I needed the break to get my good old high feeling back. After finding LB, it's too easy to just lose yourself in this bud... however with my past experience, I think it's important to keep this under control.

After I've taken January off, I'll be coming back to only smoking flower. I'll be keeping it to one dynavap cap a night on week days, and then smoking a bit harder on weekends. Will smoke flower until my tolerance builds enough, then bring in concentrates. Once the concentrates peak on tolerance for me, I'll be taking a 2 week break and then repeating the cycle.

I think it's important to do cannabis responsibly, and I think LB is exactly the kind of community where this should be encouraged. If anyone here struggles like I do to keep their habit in check, I would like to ask you to join me on this journey. Not taking January off, but to find a responsible habit for yourself to smoke, and share it with the community.

I hope everyone here has a wonderful 2020. I'm excited to see this community grow (just not too much lol). I'm encouraged by the new vendors we have seen coming in now at the end of the year. I feel like LB is ready to take that next step. I just hope that we manage to do it responsibly, and stay the awesome community that we are right now.

Thank you all, peace and love!

Good luck with the tolerance break man, and respect for making this a talking point. I think a lot of us could use a little break and might not know it. I'm still going to smoke but I've set myself more limits. Only smoking after a certain time (later than before), only smoking a certain amount per day, etc. I'll see how it goes.

Happy new year!

epix

I think that's great! Yeah I don't think everyone needs to do something as excessive as a month break. But starting making steps like you're talking about is a great idea. Just in the past couple of weeks I can see my tolerance already going down from cutting concentrates and focusing on hash and flower vaping only. So you can improve a lot by just making these kinds of adjustments.

Jamieeg420

Nice write up bud. The 4 aco was such a nice trip. Only been on here 6 - 7 months myself and it was a total game changer finding this place. Have had 50+ new strains since then. I 100% agree with taking a break every now and then to clear the system. About 3 years ago I started taking a month off every 5 or 6 months.Anyway happy new year bud and keep up the reviews love reading them.

epix

Thanks! Exciting year ahead =)

nlxxhz1001

Happy new year and good luck with the T break. Would be really interesting to hear how you get on with it, T break diary maybe?

I smoke a decent amount myself but I have three rules to keep the T in check.
1 - try to wait until 4.20 before I get high.
2 - generally stick to one strain at a time, gives me a chance to get to know the strain Im smoking and I really notice the difference when I switch to a new one.
3 - Lots a water and some sort of exercise.

Good luck and let us know how it goes !

sidetracked

Interesting. I do the same things but I always mix my strains. Think I'll try sticking to one strain today, switch to another tomorrow, and see how I get on. I think waiting for 6+ hours after waking to smoke weed works wonders to keep the tolerance low. If you are a wake-n-bake'r it will also keeps costs down since you can pretty much cut your weed consumption in half. Solid advice man =)

epix

That is solid advice. I think smoking only at night is also a good idea. I usually try to wait until around 7pm. But lately that’s been tough when working from home. But starting a new job in January where i need to go in which is good for me.

I’ll most likely do some sort of write up on the t-break. Will see what I end up doing =)

nlxxhz1001

Good luck with the new job as well then! I would totally be doing the same or at least cutting back considerably if was starting something new, gotta make that good Impression.

epix

Thank you! Yeah exactly, it works out very well for me to take a little break in January for multiple reasons.

epix

Great question. I’ll see how things go for me. But obviously the first few days of the break have been tougher on my sleep, but I have some melatonin that has helped.

I’ll do some write ups on the t-break and how its going soon.

Also welcome btw! You’ve found the best place on the internet.

epix

Yeah i stay away from sleeping pills as well. Melatonin is the natural chemical your body makes to make you sleep.

For some reason you can’t seem to get it pure here, can only get precursors that turn into melatonin. I get mine from the US.

5HTP in higher doses also makes you sleep well, and replenishes seratonin on top of it =P

funny death

Good luck with the t break, it will hit hard again in February lol I have found that it hits harder than even the first ever time. I only smoke like twice a month and I don't need much. Makes 3.5g last like 6 months haha

epix

That’s awesome. Yeah, I’m excited to smoke a bit less and enjoy it more.

greenhedge1

And I forgot to say good luck with your new job, I hope all goes well.

greenhedge1

This is a nice lil write up, I feel the same, I’m actually taking the step to stopping smoking all together and going to attempt to try to teach myself the art of cooking with weed and making canna butter, as I gave up smoking tobacco I just don’t want to carry on putting stuff into my lungs. I’ve only been on LB myself for 6 months and it’s been incredible, you have done some lovely reviews, so thank you for them and I hope your dry January goes well.

epix

Thank you Green Hedge! I think that's a great idea. I'm actually fine with just vaping, but I'm going to limit any combustion in the new year for sure... maybe a joint every 2 weeks, but mainly vaping.
