Since I have started to vape, I have been getting head aches.

I have a mighty and I just crack it up to 210 degrees celcius and 1 bowl packing pretty much gets me really high but my head hurts alot with the high...its almost like a side effect..

Don't use cannabis if it's giving you bad side effects. Use common sense and don't over do. Maybe the heat is too high? Maybe you are getting too high? Everything in moderation. Let your body be your guide. If something doesn't feel good don't do it.:rockon:

I was thinking that cannabis was something that maybe you hadn't been using a long time. I don't have the Mighty so I can't comment on that. I have several others.

Could it be the cannabis strain that you are using? Just a thought. I have had a strain a few times that I didn't like the effects. Maybe you don't even know the name of the (type) strain. In some areas you don't have access to all the info regarding strains.

There are Hybrids, Indicas and Sativa types of strains, you probably know that. Some folks don't do well with Sativas.

My guess is you are over doing it. The Mighty is like a new toy.

Are you waking up high after several hours of sleep? That seems excessive. I know you bought the mighty because you were looking for a very strong vaporizer. I don't know how hot temperature you're using is but it seems that something is out of balance whether it's the strain you're using, the temperature or just how much you're using.

Maybe you're getting sick. I thought my weed was bad once when in reality I had a cold coming on which got amplified by the smoking. You never know..

Might not be the vaping. Giving up smoking often causes headaches & migraines, they usually go away but if they don't get yourself checked.

I dont know I mean , yesterday was my first weekend with the mighty...so I waked and baked and did my weekend routine...I had smoked about 1 gram. By 2 PM I could barley stand, and was so tired...

I feel asleep and didnt wake up until 7 AM the next day....

the only time I sleep like that is during the 90s when I was eating pure MDMA and sniffing cat tranquilizer and dancing in clubs and I use to come home, eat a lemon 714 and sleep for a day and a half..

I dont know its gotta be the bud, I still have some before I pick up a new batch...

The Mighty packs a punch. It has a big bowl that needs to be packed tight. 210c is the top temperature on this big hitter vape. Finishing a bowl could take 15 minutes inhaling deep lung fulls of vapour constantly and repeatedly. Finishing a whole bowl to yourself on max temp is no easy task at times. I wouldn't be able to handle it at 210 I don't think.

Just for comparison, I use 1/8 of a Mighty bowl in the Lotus vape. If I was you, I would try using 1/8 of a Mighty bowl with the liquid pad on top as a spacer. And lower the temp to maximum 185c. Start low on 165c. I've never got headaches directly from my Mighty, but i have found that it is such a big hitter it makes me zombified. I wondered if maybe you were just pushing things a little to hard. Slow down a bit, or actually slow down alot. I would also check to see if my Mighty was fake incase the headaches are from fumes.

Hope your headaches stop soon.

Sour OG AKA Headband and her crosses can definitely knock you on your ass, and is appropriately named headband because it truly feels like you're wearing a headband.

Depending on when this strain is harvested, and the time frame between harvest and consumption. Delta 9 THC can induce headaches as well, especially if no CBN and low to zero CBD is present to balance its effect, it can certainly cause headaches, especially when you have over-indulged a session... Even more so when Vaped at those high temperatures.

You gotta start treating your body right, trust and believe me...

I put my already vulnerable body through quite the plethora of substances in my youth and I'm paying the price today.

Best of luck @pressure

Vaping makes me more tired than smoking, that's for sure. When you smoke you combust all materials, not just the THC and CBD. There's a lot of different compounds that contribute to the high. I had some Chanel which when I vaped made me pretty sluggish and tired, and that was from smaller amounts. When I smoked it however I got energized and a completely different high. You should try smoking your weed and see if the effects are different or the same.

I would describe the Mighty as a party vape that can get 5 people high with a bowl. If your hitting a whole bowl to yourself, although it's doable (I do it) it is still a big whack. When I first got the Mighty I would drawn on it repeatedly almost making myself out of breath. Over working my lungs and kind of hyperventilating. That with your high temps. I feel may be your problem. Try your Mighty at 165c. Take it slow and easy. Take breathing brakes. Maybe when the vapour production runs low at this temp let the machine go off for a few minutes before using it at 185c. When the vapour gets a little bit thin, don't try and get every last bit out. I found trying to get every last bit of vapour is to much hard work on the body. Once the main thick vapour is gone just stop. Fuck trying to get every last bit out, I'm not a Hoover I'm a human. Anything lost will be received later in oil form from your cooling unit or from your ABV.

i disagree, for me vaporizing is a cleaner high. I'm more clear headed. I need to use a day time strain if I choose to vaporize during the day. I choose a nice Indica for night and sleep.

I can't handle smoking my medicine anymore. I don't enjoy coughing or smelling of cannabis smoke. Others around me appreciate that I vaporize. Who wants to go outside to use cannabis in the winter. Always remember to fuckcombustion.

It is cleaner, but it definitely makes me more tired. Some of my friends experience this too, however we're using Paxes and not Volcanoes. It all depends but I do feel more buzzed and energetic from smoking, even though I most always choose to vape. The closest to smoking is probably dabbing for me. I also never go outside to smoke, I do it indoors. Weed smoke goes away in a few hours, when I moved apartments there was no smell left behind.

Vaping is still much healthier of course, I'm just providing anecdotal evidence as to why OP might be experiencing extreme fatigue after a go with the Mighty. Also 1 gram vaped would probably make OP higher than 1 g smoked since vaping is more efficient.

Not something I'd ever heard of, but since you're vaping Max temp otry turning it down? 1gram through an efficent Vape by 2pm could cause sleep! on those high temps too, headache im not sure... Try drinking more water? It's summer here and I know if I don't drink plenty of water I'll just get headaches.

Like @Tommy10 said, could be dehydration, cannabis doesn't dehydrate, if left unchecked this will caus your brain to begin to shrink as it loses moisture,,, this in turn pulls on the tissue between your brain and skull, this can be felt as a headache.
This is why your head hurts after excessive drinking too..

Or maybe it's just fatigued receptors needing a break...
I know If I vape a heady sativa, early in the day, and my dose is too big, I get a head ache after a couple of hours....

More like a head twinge, nothing major, and I can cure it with some sustenance....

I've sometimes gotten a slight headache when using a lot in my EVO, which can process a lot of herb in a short time, so consider the possibility that you're overdoing it. A gram is way more than I ever do in a day and I'm a daily user who doesn't take tolerance breaks.

If your getting headaches from vaping ?? It's very possible your melting plastic and inhaling the fumes?
((mighty fakes melts make sure yours is real))

Now if not you try removing all the hairs from your bud ((there is no thc in the hairs and for me they give me a headache so if your vaping bud with tons of hairs it very well could be the hairs

I think it might be the weed. I mean, with the vaporizor I can taste every little part of the weed. Alot of the time my bud smells and looks great, but it taste like chemicals. anyone ever experience this?

its in door grown bud. maybe its the strain. I just picked up a new batch and it taste like chemicals.

It is most likely synthetically over-fertilized, and additionally probably un-flushed.

Flushing is a process that "cleans" out the chemical fertilizers during the last 10-14 days prior to harvest.

Unscrupulous (people that don't give a shit) growers do this to grow the plant as big as possible and obtaining the largest yield possible.

I grow organically, and discontinue anything other than water and Unsulfered Molasses for the final 14 days of growth.
Not flushing the plant will result in headaches, a strong chemical taste and aromatics that also resemble chemical like characteristics.

This is a despicable practice and needs to stop.
