I find the first hit the biggest on a vape. After that it hits less and less (not the actual vapour but the effect) and you just end up doing more and more. If thats all you want in the evening to relax can understand Iwien, and by not over doing it he isn't building up high tolerance. Less is more in my opinion. (although sometimes easier to say than do).

Lwien, I think those of us who need/use a lot more than that are just jealous that it's all it takes for you. :lol: But it's our own fault if we choose to do more. And that precipitates a tolerance of sorts. Bottom line, it's all a matter of personal choice. Different strokes and all...

Personally, when I read that I was impressed by lwien's restraint. I turn on the DBV before I even load up the coffee pot, and vape a nice bowl (wand) before breakfast. It goes on from there... and on... and on. I get plenty high from the first bowl, I just enjoy vaping so much. And I have very little restraint.

It's really not a matter of restraint for I don't feel that I am restraining at all. However, I do thank my lucky stars that I don't have a medical condition that would mandate that I continually vape to address that condition.

For me, I use cannabis to help me relax at night. During the day, however, the last thing I want to be, is to be high, so really, there's no restraint going on here, and when I do one PD stem, I really don't want anymore because one stem gets me blitzed, but I'm sure that has to do with the fact that my head is hitting the pillow before I would want anymore.

I'd say vaping 3 to 4 hits is more uncommon than vaping once a night but I can understand both practices. Personally I vape when I get back from work but there's usually an hour or two when I'm home and sober. I've gotten into a bad habit of consuming too much at once though, even with the PD: I often don't give each hit a chance to settle in and end up vaping a whole stem when I'd already be high if I waited.



Also lwien, it seems your vaping high quality product, that definitely needs to accounted for in your low usage. For what its worth I usually vape about 2.5-3.5 stems a night, two or three by myself and then the girlfriend and I share a stem in bed, I'm still amazed at how little I use especially since the PD. :o

This is what I love about vaping, so many styles and options!

I find the first hit is a starter hit. It taste best but isn't the milkiest. The next 3 or 4 hits are rich milky clouds. Density trails off from there on hits 5, 6, and so on. The quality of the herb DEFINITELY matters! It's like a poker hand. You get much higher on flushes than rags.

On work days, I usually get in one good vape session before bed, and I usually kill one MZ stem. Unless I can sleep in, then I stay up later, and I start another stem, but there's usually a little love left. I get plenty blazed off 3-4 hits of the Bubba Berry I recently came across after months of mids, which usually takes me twice as much to get the same effect.

I feel like your number of hits is pretty low, I usually pack .2 on my dbv, get about 10, at minimum, usually like 15 with the best shit. That would be 50-75 hits per gram. But I usually stay at about 12:30 on my dbv.

What time (on the dial) do you start. I start @ 12 and go up to around 3 But each DBV has its own sweet spot.

I stay at about 12:30 fhe whole time, realized that I like staying at this temp on my dbv, gives consistent large hits with ocassional stir. I just hit it 17 times earlier with one pack.

I find that I get about 10 hits per MFLB trench I do (with the current bud I'm getting.)
So here it goes.

$50 for 1/8th
Each trench is .1 gram x 10 hits
= 100 hits per gram.
1 gram = $14.30
$14.30 per gram / 100 hits
= 14 cents per hit.

It takes me one full trench to get pretty ripped, so really I get high off $1.40 which really I'm pleased with. At work I have to pretty much blaze the cooks up to get free food for every meal which sucks but with the box it only costs me $1.40 per every 2 or 3 meals instead of lighting up a bowl for $5 which is awesome.

I feel like if your using a gram and only getting 18 hits out of it, you must be taking awfully huge ones \m/ I love taking huge hits but I've learned with vapor that... it really doesn't help as much as regular smoking.

Shouldnt be the problem pappy, your 18 hits per gram with the DBV still has me confounded, it MUST be your technique, no offense of course. MY dbv (knowing that the dials are all different yet with the same range) vapes perfectly at about 1:30, and its always at the perfect spot as i marked the sweetspot with pencil on my dbv, which i think is a must in order to have consistent vapes everytime. I can take one good, 30 second draw and blow out a huge vapor cloud and my herb will still be 95% green if maybe a little light yellow/tan on the top. I suggest that you find that sweetspot where you can do that and then keep it there, dont turn it up as you vape. I know you think that your getting more by doing that, but i think youre actually getting the same amount of thc in a lesser number of hits due to the higher temp. Ive found that by keeping buddha on the sweetspot and slightly slowing my draw speed throughout the bowl i can get 8-12 hits in a 1/3 pack, and if i have kif and/or hash im getting a lot more than that :ko:

Experiment with it and im sure you'll get the same outcome =]
Happy vaping!

Thanks! I'll be sure to try that. My sweet spot happens to be noon. Gonna fill a 1/3 pack of Skywalker after I walk the dog and see if I can extend my output. :cool: The only question is... surely it can't hurt to turn up the dial when vapor runs out at 12 but is produceable at 1, 2, and 3?

@ sLug215 and JustinOG > A special word of thanks! :D Using your technique I kept DBV at noon, its sweet spot, and can confirm you are correct! I almost doubled my output by hitting the wand more gently, stirring occasionally, and staying at noon as long as it produced vapor. Got 14-15 hits where I probably was getting 8. Thanks again!
