I've vaped 3-4 times a week for the past 8 months or so, usually on the weekends and a 1-2 weeknights a week if i wan't to have a little fun after a long day a class/work. Anyways, unfortunately I have to quit for the next 4 months, and then again after the summer (Drug testing for job applications). The shitsack companies I apply to sometimes hair test so I have to be careful :'( :( :(

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any experience putting other things in vaporizers. I would like to still be able to vape a few times a week, just because I enjoy the process of smoking I think its relaxing. I was thinking about using tea, maybe lavender? Also I was thinking about using a nicotine free e-liquid (but I don't think that is very healthy as it seems kinda harsh on the lungs).

Anyone have suggestions? I would prefer something that produces a decent amount of visible vapor because I like blowing rings, etc.

Thanks Yall!!

Chamomile, lemon balm, lavender are all yummy, I've noticed slight effects from each, mostly relaxing but that could easily be placebo.

Do they still make that incense stuff like Mr. Niceguy and such? Back when I couldnt smoke a few years ago I used to get really high off of it some times. I know they were always just barely staying ahead on the legality part though so maybe they are all gone by now .

Not placebo. All three have a calming effect.

True, but what I was getting at was that the effects I experienced were very minute, nothing significant to suggest it was the actual herb versus my own expectations with regards to the act of vaping.

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too

I would love to hear from anyone who has tried these.

I need to slow down my intake.

Simply because I vape weed in the same fashion as I used to smoke joints.

Feeding a nicotine habit I no longer have and vaping even when I am stoned.

Very wasteful.

I think these products could fill the gaps, so to speak.

I wonder just how strong that stuff is? Has anyone on here tried it yet? It actually looks a lot like the stuff from a local head shop to me that was selling "all natural" herb blends that would get you toasted for sure.

edit- Specifically has anyone tried this stuff? http://sales.magic-flight.com/kava-vapor-oil-beta/ It seems very interesting to me like something great for going to long boring statistics lectures and such.

@max is correct, and you're not imagining it. :)

With respect to lavender in particular, it contains large amounts of a terpene called linalool, also present in cannabis.

Linalool is a known anxiolytic (anti-anxiety).

A few relevant studies:

Anxiolytic-like effects of inhaled linalool oxide in experimental mouse anxiety models.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21925533
"Thus, inhaled linalool oxide was found to have anxiolytic properties in both animal models, without causing any motor deficit. These results suggest that inhalation of linalool oxide may be a useful means of counteracting anxiety."

Effects of inhaled Linalool in anxiety, social interaction and aggressive behavior in mice.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19962290
"Inhaled linalool showed anxiolytic properties in the light/dark test, increased social interaction and decreased aggressive behavior; impaired memory was only seen the higher dose of linalool. These results strengthen the suggestion that inhaling linalool rich essential oils can be useful as a mean to attain relaxation and counteract anxiety."

Lavender Oil-Potent Anxiolytic Properties via Modulating Voltage Dependent Calcium Channels
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0059998
"Recent clinical data support the clinical use of oral lavender oil in patients suffering from subsyndromal anxiety. We identified the molecular mechanism of action that will alter the perception of lavender oil as a nonspecific ingredient of aromatherapy to a potent anxiolytic inhibiting voltage dependent calcium channels (VOCCs) as highly selective drug target.... Taken together, we provide a pharmacological and molecular rationale for the clinical use of the oral application of lavender oil in patients suffering from anxiety."


In Germany, lavender oil capsules (called Silexan) have been approved for use in treatment of anxiety.

For those of us with anxiety lavender can be very useful. But, yes, vaping raw lavender flowers is a very mild effect. But it's there.

I would heartily recommend trying a LWET lavender extraction. Please perform the whole thing frozen. The results will get you all of the relief lavender can give you in a reliable, safe and easy way.
