So I chose to burn instead of vape last night..

I feel bad for ex-cig smokers who have fond memories of the cancer sticks. My memories mostly consist of feeling my cardiovascular system go downhill in a big way-heart and lungs both. I knew that if I kept it up it would kill me. Quitting for me was almost 20 yrs. ago and thankfully those 'bad old days' are still fresh in my mind. Stopping the mj smoking came 10 yrs. later and I well remember my lungs thanking me for switching to vapor.

Yup, I was tired of feeling like crap all the time. The sore throat and cough every morning was really the last straw. It still boggles my mind that I can go down the street and spend $8 or whatever to buy something that makes me feel like that and will kill me, but - well, you know. :myday:

Hey now,
The D020 from Sunshine Store on DHGate is U$19.03, add 28 points for FX and CC charges, so that's $24.36. Not bad pricing IMO, you just have to wait 14-30 days for delivery...You just have to be comfortable with your name going into a database when they xray your package at the Customs/Canadian PO. If you are not comfortable with that thought then you have to buy from your local LHS...

I've seen dhgate style or type pipes sold here locally. One that was $19 on dhgate is $109 here in a smoke shop. Crazy, huh?

yep. If you are gonna buy glass locally you need to know what's out there or you are likely to be taken advantage of. Then again, if you didn't bother to research, are you really being taken advantage of? Buyer beware...

Peer pressure won't phase a true vaporist. Also, refraining from combustion and using your vapes when others are combusting is the way to teach. Not caving in and smoking along with them.

Haha, dude I'm okay if I'm not a true vaporist in your eyes. :) I filled and passed the vapes many times. I'm not going to be one of those assholes who tries to tell other people what is right for them. :p

Eh I was on vacation seeing some friends this past week and didn't have access to vapes or concentrates. Smoked four blunts of some very nice medical with them and didn't feel too bad but definitely coughed a lot. First time smoking for me in like 6 months.

No don't be an asshole. Vaping and combusting are very different. Vaporists recognize and can distinguish between good and bad. Vapor good, smoke bad, therefore not engaging in smoking while everyone around you does, is a very strong statement.

mod note: Don't be telling anyone not to be an asshole. That implies they're being one. You've been here plenty long enough to know better.

Honestly some people just stick to old habits, I must admit it does look a feel a bit cooler to puff a joint that to inhale vapor from a plastic box, there's a certain culture/history associated around smoking a joint. But that being said, the crafty and mighty (as an owner of both myself, that i won in competitions so i have no bias towards them because I got them for free) are some of the best portable vaporizers I have ever owned/used, my only 'gripe' with them is that the chamber is sooo big that they end up getting me too high XD haha, but they are an insanely powerful portable, me and my friend used them with a water-attachment and were white walling our pieces.

I agree with @Jeppy and I think you may of misunderstood him, he wasn't telling you to tell your friends what to do, he was essentially saying you should stand your ground with what you feel comfortable with and if you cave into smoking around your friends it's only re-affirming to them this idea a lot of outsiders tend to have that vaping is just a 'gimmick'. Don't push it on them, just do your thing and if someone asks 'hey what's that?' explain calmly that it's a vaporizer, don't over-hype it and if they want to try it then sure, but if they go back to smoking after that's their business.

I hope I explained this well, I feel like there's a lot i'm missing out and it's a bit convoluted, but hopefully that helped a little? I don't know.

I switched to vaping cigs and MJ 6 months ago. Tried a spliff for the first time since then two days ago. Tasted disgusting! Smelt disgusting! It was just nasty. I can't believe I put so much toxic shit in my body for so long.

I thought I'd enjoy it, but vaping is so much better in every way. The high is so much better. I used to piss my neighbours off when I was smoking, I could hear windows slamming shut after I'd sparked up. That's a thing of the past now. Vaping MJ smells lovely. I just wish I bought the Volcano 10 years ago when I had first thought about it. YOU SUCK COMBUSTION, FUCK YOU.

Or, better understood, by you. Fuck combustion. ;)

No, better explained. Your message had a very elitist tone. Are you telling me that in your first months of trying to FC, when you found yourself in a similar situation you knew exactly how a 'true vaporist' would act and made no mistakes? BS. :)

I'm saying when I quit, I quit. Period. Never flip flopped back and forth. Peer pressure never phased me. I didnt know about a true vaporist as that term was yet to be coined, but I did know what I was doing for my health. I converted them. They never got me to fire up again. Ever, and everyone I know now owns a vape of some kind.

I have owned vaporizers for years now and still combusted all the time; bong rips, joints, the occasional blunt, but today was my first day of not smoking period and I gotta say I already feel a shit ton better. I saved a bunch of herb and maintained more a high though out the day. Crazy.

Doubt I will go back to smoking, save the occasional massive bong rip :science:
