Just to add my 2 cents, I've tried to switch to 100% vaping for years, but I never quite made it.

I have come to believe that it depends what you're looking for. People speak of "functional" and "alert" highs, but many of us are looking for the opposite of that. If I'm not falling asleep on the couch I'm a little disappointed, as I think it's the couchlock factor that is the most medicinal/painkilling.

I've had a silver surfer, iolite, and an Arizer Solo (probably the best if not for the tight draw).

Tl:dr: I definitely want to be healthier, but it doesn't quite hit the spot. Maybe a bit of carbon monoxide poisoning has become part of the experience for a lot of us.

Always up for hearing what Vape converted people away from joints though, because I live in hope of this healthier lifestyle and as time moves on health becomes more and more important to us.

Hi there,
I had the exact same issue for a while.. really wanted to switch but just did not enjoy vaping as I was only getting a head high at the beginning. If you can, get the mighty, or the plenty if you don’t care much about portability. I vape weed and hash in it, and it is spectacular in my opinion. It gets me higher than smoking, and I definitely get the couch lock feeling if I vape over 195 degrees. But I don’t always want the couch lock feeling.. so if you vape it’s cool that you get too choose the high you want depending on your situation. It is quite the investment, but definitely worth it if you smoke weed long term.

The vapes that offer a similar experience to smoking I would say are the dynavap, and the mighty. I feel like I get much more out of my weed as well.. as I only need about 1/1.5 for each session. Hope you find a solution!

Yep totally get this. To be fair I like a heavy indica sometimes too. Haven’t tried it in a vape yet. Only tried sativas... which seem suited to vaping. I know what you mean though, I do miss a good heavy eyelid dropping indica. Have none right now. Have ordered some Jamaican Sess from GC. I know it’s not heavy, but it’s an indica... will be interesting to see how it compares in the vape.

Even with the Haze I have thought, smoking in pipe Vs vape is big difference. Any heaviness that was there in the pipe has completely gone in the vape. Could stay up all night.

Welcome to the world of vaping! I converted over 10 years ago and never looked back. Ok, I have the occasional blunt, but no tobacco.

I agree vaping is a different high! Feels like a level up from smoking a joint with bud / hash and tobacco. I actually feel the tobacco reduces the high.

What vape did you get mate?

You will probably find vaping more economical, I run bud through my Volcano twice or even three times at different temps. The already vaped bud can then also be used to make edibles. You can't smoke a joint twice but you can vape bud several times!

My stash of vaped bud has got my through weed droughts in the past!

Enjoy vaping mate!

I just got a cheap as chips one to give it a go, the Black Mamba.

I've only been using it a week.

I'm using it on lowest heat and microdosing early evening which is giving me a nice low level hit and then running the same lot through on the highest heat later in the evening to give me a proper buzz.

It is very cool that you can use the same weed twice for different effects.

Yeah I heard you can use for edibles too, but it looks pretty brown and used up after the second round. Will it have anything worth eating left in it?

Both vapes and LB are the future!

Yeah even really brown vaped bud is good for edibles, Google "AVB edibles" lots on the net.

Your lungs will thank you for vaping as well, I feel much better after generally dropping smoking!

I wish it could work for me...

Me too. I find it to be very a short lived high

hi i have a question! :) can i just use a little bit of weed, like the amount id put in a joint, or do u have to pack it up to the top? i really want to start vaping but only do small hits....thanks !

The Pax 3 allows a half load for personal use, also the Magic Flight launch box allows you a heavy or light load option depending on your needs ( this one is great for conservation of you herbs if that's what your looking for) The Ghost vape is another I can recommend for smaller amounts. I also at times mix some fresh herbs with some vape leftovers when packing a full load if I am running low or just don't want the full on heavy stone. There are many options when vaping herb, it sure beats smoking.

The half oven piece for the PAX3 is well worth using, I will agree!

Yeah you can use as much or a little as you want. I only put a small amount in and works fine. You can stagger it and take a few puffs, then it off and then go back to it later. You’ll know when it’s done because it’ll turn a brown colour.

Hahaha! Another convert! I find the high to be a lot cleaner and you feel less drowsy after it wears off. I didn't realise how much of the drowsy effect is just from inhaling smoke! Smoking bud, even blunts just tastes disgusting to me now, like when I first smoked. If you like it I would recommend investing in a good portable vape like a pax 3 or a crafty+.

I find the high from vaping clean but VERY short lived. Whether I use the desktop or the PAX3.

Great to hear!

Vaping is great especially if you have a water Bubbler attachment, its really smooth and a much better experience imo.
You really get a lot more millage out of the bud and you can control your high, low temps for daytime usage, save the bud or pods them turn the temp up for that heavy night time smoke.
I hope your not discarding the AVB (Already Vaped Bud) save that and make some seriously strong cakes that will get you couch locked and make you sleep like a baby :)
You get really strong effects from these because most of the THCa has been converted to CBN which promotes a heavy body sensation and promotes sleep.
I advice using dark chocolate to mask the taste tho as the oil you make from these is not the best tasting in the world but boy they get you rekt !

Enjoy!

I agree! Vapes are great, the high and experience is much better. Try vaping a moon rock in the Mighty from Storz and Bickel, what a treat that is. I switched from joints and bongs to vapes just over 5 years ago, the experience is night and day between smoking and vaping, flavour, high, health amount used, all better thanks to vaping. No more coughing up a lung, if you get me! I started with the Magic flight launch box then the Arizer Extreme Q now I am a proud owner of about 7 different vapes. The Mighty from Storz and Bickel is my go to vape for now, but that may change one day, always on the lookout for something better. I like the look of their Volcano hybrid, but might have to wait till Christmas with that price tag.

I seem to use more in a vape, probably 4 or 5 times as much, than I would put in a pipe. But it’s a different high. Vapes and a good Sativa are amazing! At the moment I’m mixing the chamber with Thai Red String, Haze, Book of Wisdom and Swazi Gold. The high is amazingly clear.

That’s because you got the black mamba and the heating chamber is really big.. if you go for a smaller heating chamber you will use much less bud.
The black mamba was my first vape too lol. it was ok for the most part, but wasted a lot of my weed.. and I didn’t get much vapour out of it. Since you liked it you will definitely enjoy some of the better vapes out there! I would suggest something from S+B.
Hope you get on well!

your address is never stored in little biggy unless you chose this, even then addresses are stored with independent security so both lb and a 2nd system would need to be severely compromised for a discovery.
