I’m by no means an expert having only really experienced the Mighty by Storz and Bickel, but it was a total game changer. Decent terps/flavour, super economical and way more discreet than the old flame and fire.

One question I had, and very curious to know what people think - is that after vaping for about 2 years, I had a pure joint and it completely blew my mind. It felt like I had only been getting 2/3s as stoned on my Pax for years. I've been smoking it/using bongs ever since. I've since read though that it easily gets you as high as smoking it (if you use the right vape properly), and is far more economical of course. Anyway, I don't know how much of this is psychological. I should prob just stump up for the Mighty and go back to vaping, health-wise just seems to be a no-brainer, and you get great flavours too!

I think i’m terms of how stoned you get with a joint vs vaping, it’s kind of like downing pints or having shots vs sipping on your over some time.

With smoking a joint, you’re combusting everything in one go and you’re taking in everything at once, and it’s like downing your drink or having a shot.

with vaping, you take everything in slower and if you’re like me, you temp step up from your lowest temp to your highest temp. With doing that you’re slowing down how much you’re taking in and you get specific terps coming at different temps rather than everything in one go with combusting. Also i use less flower in the vape than a joint so in a joint getting more flower all at once rather than less flower over a session on the vape where you dial in on the terps n temps.

If you’re looking to get blasted off the vape it’s probs best to set it to the highest setting from the beginning and then have a session on it like that, then you’d be getting everything you get from a joint but without combusting.

But i’m no expert in this, i’ve only been vaping since the beginning of Dec, so there might be some inaccuracies in what i’ve said and i’m sure the other biggaz on here can provide a more expert opinion on the vaping 😊

The point about combustion is that of the goodies only THC survives the fire- everything else (CBG, CBN, CBD etc) are destroyed at the point of combustion and replaced with benzene and other carcinogenics. The full spectrum effect is history.

Since CBD naturally calms the effects of THC (in a good way) it will feel like a stronger hit, because it is.

It’s not worth the trade off imo. 🔥=👹

Yeah I’d describe the vaping buzz as more rounded and less intense, for sure. My reaction times go to shit when I smoke a joint (not that they’re very good sober like).

This is a much much better explanation than mine, thank you for your wisdom polly 😊🙏

Thanks mate. It is fascinating because of course vaping is a pretty new method compared to 🔥 so all the goodies were not very much known about because they always literally went up in smoke!..

With the research being done these days I think we are going to learn a whole lot more about the complexities of our beloved plant, and all the more reasons for not torching it! 😉

Yeah it’s all so interesting, we’ve had this plant for thousands of years and we’re still discovering and learning sooo many new things about it…

just goes to show how little we know about our weird and wonderful world!

I get this also I'm an evening toker so happy to slowly sip some terps over getting blasted off one shot

Mate, I’ve had a very similar journey over the last 18 months or so. I used the mighty religiously for like 6 months but then all this lovely hash started appearing on here and the cotton bacon method wasn’t doing it for me. So I returned to the flame and boom, back to the old school. I’m back on the mighty now mainly for health and stench prevention purposes haha.

I 100% hear you, I think there’s probably a bunch of factors. I think the buzz from vaping hits at a different vibe from smoking but it varies quite a bit like. Even cleanliness, when I remember to clean it properly it hits differently afterwards. Temperature too of course, if I find some spare time during the day I like a haze at 180-190, after work it’s 210 all the way.

Get a volcano and put as much weed in as you do your joints.

In a mighty I think it’s .2 in a cap, can’t see the full bowl being much more tbh.

I can do a Henry in a big Bertha joint, but would take me 17.5 kegs on the mighty. If I had the lungs and throat to do it, I’d be on my back 😂

You know what, I never bother with the caps. Just whack it in the bowl. Are the caps meant for reloading while traveling aye?

I just find it easier to load up the magazine think it holds 8 or 9 kegs.

Good for travel and fishing 😂

Appreciate it Jimmy!

I started dry herb vaping a couple of months ago and I ended up getting the nectar hex which has been great so far.

If there aren’t any budgetary constraints, the mighty+ and the tiny might 2 are probably the best dry herb vapes around, but ofc they come with a hefty price tag.

Going down a price tier, the crafty+, nectar hex, arizer air max, arizer solo 2, pax 3 are all good options.

For a budget option maybe the xmas v3 pro would be of interest to you.

It’s probably easier to think about the features you’d like and that are most important to you and then you can cross reference that with all the vapes. Things like price, do you want convection or conduction, do you need it to be portable/discreet, do you need usb c charging, do you want a removable and changeable battery, do you want to be able to set the exact temp or do you want something that has built in heat settings. Think it’ll be easier for you to decide what’s best when you know what kind of things you’d prefer and what features are important to you :)

This is perfect thanks buddy! I'll go through your list and see what fits my bill 👌

There's tons of good topics about this .I bought a relatively cheap yokan vane vape. After smoking js its a bit of a letdown. There's one topic that always gets attention its this 🤣

I'm thinking of starting vaping again too so been doing a bit of research - I used to use the Pax, which suited my needs and was nice and portable. But I think it's not considered to be the best for flavour. I've heard great things about the Mighty but that's about £300 so for a cheaper option I heard that the Arizer Air Max (£130) is very nice for flavour as it has a glass heating system/glass mouthpiece.

I'm sure there are much more knowledgeable people about this than me though! Would love some recommendations too.

Yeah I did read up about the mighty but can't justify that money right now! I'll take a look at the arizer 👌

Oh and I think that things have for sure improved since the hay daze - even my Pax 2 wasn't too bad, and with the Mighty I'm sure you get amazing flavours; it's probably very good with the Arizer one too.

Really appreciate the input from everyone 🙌 iv got a list of vapes to have a look through now see what fits my budget and needs. Cool to hear the difference between smoking and vaping. I'm all for a different high experience as long as I'm still getting the flavours I love if I feel the need to get blitz I'll just hit the live resin vape cart 🤙 I'm on the road to better smoking I use to mix baccy with my weed 🤦😂
