Need advice from dry herb vapers please
Hi All,
I am wanting to move from traditional smoking over to dry herb vaping.
I am very experienced with vaping in the nicotine sense but not with weed.
My main concern is that I am a very heavy user with a high tolerance and wont enjoy it as much/wont get the effects as well. I know in theory that vaping generated more thc in the vapour than burning produces in the smoke but who knows in the real world! :-)

Any advice on how it hits, decent devices to get etc please let me know. At the moment thinking something from Storz & Bickel.

Thanks all

There's definitely a learning curve in terms of how different a vape high is to a smoking high. I find vaping to be more of a 'background' high, not as in your face. I can still get shit done. If you're worried about the potency of the high, you can add hash or extracts to your bowls (research how to do this with your specific model, don't just mix and hope for the best).

Biggest difference is you don't feel all of the shite you get from smoking. I no longer have a smoker's cough. Material used will plummet, I'd say I'm using about half as much flower nowadays compared to when I was smoking.

The PAX gets dragged absolutely everywhere online but I've said it here before and I'll say it again, the PAX 3 is the best dry herb vape on the market for my use case. It's just like smoking an electric joint (I only ever smoked joints and missed the ritual of rolling and passing, breathing focus etc).

Whatever you settle on you will be glad you made the change. It can be tricky at first but you will NEVER look back. Good on you for taking the baby steps by just asking for advice!

Thanks so much for the great reply.

In terms of quantity, I almost always smoke using what in my youth was called a shotty, pipe into water bottle basically, BUT that means very low usage vs. level of high already.
Any idea weight wise what you get through and how often you smoking that is?

In that case I'd look at conduction Vs convection vapes. The PAX is a conduction vape so it's more a 'session' vape, whereas convection vapes are closer to the one and done experience you're used to with a shotty (which I am also well versed in the use of hahaha). You're right that you can't go wrong with anything S&B as a general rule of thumb.

I think the PAX chamber capacity is 0.3g and I could get by with 4 of those a day. When smoking, it'd be minimum 2g a day, regardless of if I had work.

I can easily make a Q last a week nowadays if I need to. Before vaping, I'd be going through a 3.5 every day or two.

Hey man, I was in a similar position transferring from smoking to dry herb vaping. Started with a dynavap then onto a mighty+, both great bits of kit with pros and cons for both. I ended up running the mighty through a little bubbler to make it smoother/cooler but still a little too harsh.
A friend suggested to try extracts, as that's essentially all you're trying to get at with vaping, the flower is just unwanted carriage.
So I bought a Coil king by crossing, absolute game changer, better high, smoother nicer more terpy hits. Also found it to be more economical as you can get nice extracts quite cheap on LB.
I use the whip from the mighty+ and a little bubbler and it chucks out clouds.
Also bought a Utillian 8 which is good but the coil king still rocks :)

For me it’s a Dynavap and induction heater or my Tinymight. Both are great. Both have a bit of a learning curve. Plenty on YouTube about both. You can’t beat the TinyMight for out and about.

Yo, my thoughts on vaping generally? Cons: Waaaay harsher on my throat than smoking, not something that’s got better with time. Storz & Bickel devices are a hassle to clean. Propanalol is your only friend. Pros: It’s an investment, if it’s your daily driver it’ll pay itself back. You put less in than a j and it’s way stronger. You can even use your vaped bud a second time for a microdose, to make edibles, or as a tobacco substitute. So economical. There are spacers for extract/smaller doses.

I use the dosage caps as it keeps my device cleaner. I go through approx 1/2 oz and clean it every other week. I find 15-20mins at 185 deg C is optimal. Storz and Bickel has all the replacement parts you need. Theres even some unofficial glassware attachments for it. If in the uk don’t buy off the official site as you’ll get taxed massively upon import.

My first move into dry herb vaping was storz & bickel crafty. Pros of this device is it’s the most portable option. That’s where it ends really. App is useless for iPhone users, temp control and battery display on the app only shows once your buds done heating ??. You get maybe 3 uses from a charge and it takes hours to recharge.

Upgraded to venty a few months ago. Absolute dream. Bigger in size but the variable airflow is a game changer and the speed charger gets it to 80% in 40 mins. No need for the dumb app.

I’m considering trying a dynavap. No charging needed and far more portable. Less accurate temp.

Hope this helps!

Awesome, thank you.
Although made me possibly rethink the crafty+. Just don't want to invest too much in case I don't take to it.

That was my thought process exactly. You can get far cheaper from other brands to give it a go first. I’m a sticker for s&b for all the accessories and replacements you need later down the line

My worry and a lesson I learnt from moving to nic vaping to get off the fags many years ago was that a cheap device makes the whole thing seem crap when really its just the cheap hardware.

Good point. Tends not to be med grade plastic, yummy microplastics

Yo man, I switched to the Mighty a few years ago and I love it. I initially didn’t like the buzz compared the old flame method, but it grew on me and it’s all I use now (aside from dabs in another device and joints as a wee treat, both at the weekend - mighty for weekdays). You save so much on bud it’s incredible. You can really see the levels as well, for example bud at $60 a Q tends to get decent clouds for say 5-10 mins, whereas THC23 bud at $65 a 3.5 can get clouds for like 30 mins. It’s nuance you simply can’t appreciate with a flame as it all just burns up super quick. Absolute no brainer imo, it pays for itself within a couple of months and is obviously much better for you. Although I appreciate the switch can be a bit jarring.

As an ex bong smoker, and heavy joint/ blunt burner...the switch to vaping has been amazing. I use the Mighty, and have been for 3 years now...very pccasionaly I go back to the bong, then end up regretting it for a few hours trying to get the taste of smoke out of me again...

And it's ruined joints for me, they taste shite now compared to vaping.

As for potency- I literally notice no difference.
I used to think the bong hit was more instant than the vape, but I think it's the coughing causing a bit of a head rush instead.
After 15 minutes I honestly think there is zero difference in effect...just a much more pleasurable intake experience, vaping lets you really enjoy the terps.
I'll never go back!

Thanks so much for all the mega helpful responses.
Reckon I will give the Crafty+ a go and see where we get.

Took me a while to appreciate it.

Went from dynavap to mighty, had plenty and volcano.

Ended up smoking pure joints again so invested in a ruby twist kit and glass for bigger hits 😂

I’ll report back when it lands
