You can get 120 hits out of one gram? :cool:
One bowl (0.025g) of a PD can give me 2 solid hits followed by 3 so-so hits, so in my above calculation, I figured those 3 so-so hits would equal one good hit.......so........3 solid hits from one PD bowl which is approx 0.025g. That would equate to 120 hits out of one gram.

Many others here get the same amount of hits from their PD/MZ's as well.

Edit: A solid hit for me equates to milking up a HVY Mini-Beaker to the point of taking a hit just below the threshold of coughing and although I am 66 years old, I run 4 to 5 miles a day 4 to 5 times a week, so my lungs are in pretty good shape, even though they're a bit old. ;)
Can you show me a pic of the purple days bowl with .025 in it? My scale only does .1 and I can't even imagine that. You make me want the PD vape SO bad.

Great Scott!
Hell even just a pic of what .025 looks like haha.

My batteries went on my scale so I can't even weigh .1 apparently when the battery is dead it won't show anything less than .3 haha

Since I started storing everything in the freezer and only pulling out a gram at a time, I'm at about 2.5g/week. I use the PD most of the time, maybe 1 MFLB trench a week, and blaze 1 bat (Ed's TnT FTW) maybe 4 times a week, and maybe 2 spliffs (approx 30% headdies, 70% abv, sprinkled with keef, about the size of one of those long slim cigarettes).

For reference: Back when I was using combustion only, I was using about 7g a week. When I got the SSV, that went down to about 5g a week. If I were to cut out all combustion, I could easily get by with 2g/week. If I exercised any self control- down to <1g a week :brow:

I use about 1g per week. I vape one bowl every night using an SSV wand. I fill it 1/3-1/2 full, loosely packed. I get about 10 really good hits once everything has been dried from the initial draws. Maybe 15 draws total. I've really been loving glass the past few months, and with vapor its extra fun because you get to hit the piece so many times! Vaping is so awesome :D

A word of caution.

When reading about the usage of others, before getting all excited and jumping on a bandwagon check out that persons usage and style and see if it matches your usage and style.

For example, lets say a person who is severely ill, they are not likely to find pain relief using minuscule amounts. But lets say you are person who uses before bed, then perhaps using a smaller amount may work out for you but it is not the most common.

Vaping likely will allow you to gain more distance with your herb, for many but not all, but that does not necessarily equate to a savings in product as many people simply enjoy being a bit higher/quicker relief.

It is common that people find it irritating to deal with such small amounts when you use more than bowl, which I believe many if not most user of the PD and MZ tend to use.

Not everyone obtains less amount. I use about the same I did when I smoked and I get more than few emails on a regular basis asking me about why they do not achieve these miracle reductions from vaping. I basically say what I have written.

Now with all that said, if you are interested in true in vaporizing I suggest you look into information on how to get the most out of your stash rather than relying on the performance of a particular vaporizer.

In my view and personal situation I see it as this example:
Lets a family of 3 needs a toaster and is energy efficient in their thinking. They go to the store to buy a toaster and see 2 slot toaster and 4 slot toaster.

The 2 slot economy runs on less electricity and of course uses less bread and sure not everyone is going to want toast every time its in use. Potentially saving bread and electricity.

The 4 slot size toaster uses more electricity takes up more space and your more likely to make 4 pieces of toast when making b-fast for the family and risk having some go to waste using up extra bread.

On paper this looks like a pretty easy decision. They buy the 2 slot economy toaster mainly due to electricity cost (the energy saving sticker with monthly estimated costs helps). Happily they go home and for awhile the toaster is great.

Soon they realize they typically have to make toast twice as often as 2 slots just are not always enough. So it takes longer to prepare breakfast, especially if their guests. The electricity difference is mute due to the extra usage. Only a real issue when people are in a hurry, which is typical in the morning.

Now for a single person of 2 person a family and the 2 slot toaster is likely to be more ideal and without the irritants high "operational" efficiency can and typically does have. Make sure those models are what will fit into your style and needs not simply because you think you will magically achieve a physical savings.

For some this is no problem at all but others this will become an irritant and in my example I used toast and yes it is just general illustration and dont get all analytical on it lol.

I vape because of the health benefits over smoking, I like the feeling better and love the flavors. I spend some time here and write what I do to help people, specifically other fellow seriously ill people and for no other purpose. Take from what I write what you will. Happy Vaping!

Beez, what a perfect analogy. I will have to agree; I don't see a large decrease in consumption either. And I agree with your feeling better and enjoying the flavors of the herb better. Very nice post. And happy vaping to you! :D

Thats why I have several different vapes. Obviously my Zap is the most efficient out of all of them, so only my top shelvers go into it. It also ensures that my experience (imo) will be the most flavorful with NO chance whatsoever of combustion of my (overpriced) buds. (These are also the ABV savers for cooking)

My VG and Supreme are for the mids (and all others). I usually get bigger hits from these vapes, so using that much more is a trade off I am happy with. When using my SV and VG, yeah my consumption goes up up and away. :brow:

Wow I am really impressed with some of these numbers on here. A gram a month with weekly vapping is impressive, but possible im sure with these incredible machines.

When I first purchased my Silver Surfer Vaporizer several months ago, I would say I was doing about 5-7 grams a week of high quality. I now own a Purple Days Pandora as well and while I still use my SSV for company and vape sessions with my girlfriend, I use my PDP fairly exclusively any other time. Since the switch to mainly my PDP I am now doing 3.5 or less a week of high quality, and my tolerance has gone down quite a bit since I switched from combustion to vape. :o

Before switching to vapping, I was combusting nearly 28 grams or more a week of mid-low quality! Granted this was often blunts shared between me and my girlfriend, the number still blows me away. If someone would have told me several months ago that I was going to start consuming less in a week than I did in a day I would have laughed in their face.
