How often do you vaporize?

[EverythingsHazy]

This is a pretty simple thread. I've been posting a few of these analytic threads lately, trying to help figure out the trends in the vaporizing community, with the intention of helping us better understand our relationship with this amazing plant.

I think you'll find most people's usage can vary very greatly. I would vaporize (dab, because I'm a concentrates only kind of guy) 0-3 times during the day. At night, depending on my insomnia, I may dab 3-10 times! My main medical requirement for cannabis is insomnia, my other symptoms that benefit from cannabis require much less dosage for the desired effect.

On the weekend, I might dab more to pass the time and because I can if I have something extra tasty on hand (which is usually ).

I had to choose other because I don't necessarily always dab >6x per day.

Gone are the days when I used to dab large amounts much more frequently. I find that these days, I prefer to get the desired effect without breathing in and out so many clouds. I experience a scratchy throat and respiratory congestion (especially from flowers!) if I puff tough like I used to Maybe I'm just getting too old

When you say you dab 3-10x at night for insomnia, is that throughout the night when you wake up, several "sessions" while trying to get to sleep, or just 3-10 dabs all at once for a knockout punch?

Depends on traffic, party days its a black hole for numbers, however on work days its often none or one.

Generally the latter 'knockout punch' scenario my friend. I do not typically wake up in the night if I medicate insomnia with concentrates. With flowers, I find that I do wake up frequently though the night.

I vape every day, but usually after work.
On my days off, I try to stay high most of the day. This is either through vaping or homemade edibles.

 

[Baron23]

I vape now mainly for pain and the impact of my back injury on my ability to sleep (or really, not be able to sleep for longer than cat naps unless sedated).

Now, I'm 64 and toked on my first joint when I was 14 so yeah...I know what recreational use is about and quite frankly I still love the feeling of an MJ high. Just do.

But these days I strive to make it through the day and then knock myself out at night. I try to make it through the day without vaping because I'm way more productive that way and I'm trying to manage my tolerance to some degree.

So, I voted once per day but I'm much like my friend @herbivore21, when vaping flower for sedation I will often be back up at 2 am or so and vaping a quick .05 -.1 gram to get back to sleep.

Even when I dab heavy, really go for the knock out, I'm still up and completely out of bed walking my back around a bit at least 3-4 times in the night.

Just one more story in the naked city! hahaha

What I tell most of my family and acquaintances: I don't use pot
What I tell other acquaintances: I've done it a few times but not on a regular basis
What I tell friends: Once a day
What I tell myself: Once a day
What it actually is: twice a day, 3x/day on off days

Same, except I lately I've been eating edibles after work when I have them.. so much more relaxing than vaping IMO after a long day.

 

[Squonk]

2x a week (usually friday and saturday evenings to relax while playing guitar or listening to music or playing pool)

 

[Hubs88]

Every night for around 6 hours. Maybe 3 or 4 sessions from 1 bowl.

It's been this way for a few years now.

What?? Like I have something better to do.

 

[jeffp]

I'm a late evening vaporist when I'm by myself; the last thing I do before sleep. One or two bowls and I'm good. When friends are over it's an earlier start but it's evening and more is consumed often including edibles. I just can't relate to getting high during the day but I abstain at my own peril.

 

[hd_rider]

Twice after 6:00 p.m every evening to wind down from the work day.
Throw in a couple of afternoon sessions on my off days just because.

 

[His_Highness]

I tend to earn my buzz by getting my work day out of the way or by getting my honey-do list under control before having my first session for the day. Typically this means I wait till around 8pm before getting my first session in. I'll usually wait till an hour before bed for the second and last session.

The exception to the rule is early morning weekend long runs. There's something about that fully rested body and mind that seems to set the stage for the best buzz of the day. When I can combine it with a runner's high it's euphoric. Problem is .... when the early morning buzz run is over .... the only productive things I'm capable of doing is eating whatever isn't nailed down and taking a nice long nap.

...retired...soooo...I mimic vitolo's model of 24/7....except some days ...for no tangible reason other than I just don't feel like it...I won't start till 2-3 pm...

 

[Farid]

I shoot for 5 times a day. Sometimes I have a busy day and I can only work in 3. Unless I'm traveling it's rare for me to do less than 3.

No matter how many sessions I get in, I have what I call the 3 hour rule. Basically if I'm smoking I try to wait at least 3 hours before my next session. In general if I wait 3 hours I get 5 sessions in. If I wait 4 hours I get 4 sessions in, and if I wait 5 hours I get three sessions in.

 

[BD9]

When I do have anything to vape I may only vape once or twice during the week and maybe 2 or 3 times a day on weekends.
I don't like the feeling of being 'stoned'. But I do like to get high. Being high I want to do things because my pain is under control. Being stoned I don't feel like doing anything but sitting or laying around and wishing I wasn't feeling stoned.
I have a low tolerance and an efficient vape so all is good.

What does an avg. bowl weight for you?

 

[Hubs88]

What does an avg. bowl weight for you?

I weigh out 0.2g most of the time. This is the average oven size for my portables with the exceptions of the G-Pen Elite and Ascent which both hold closer to 0.25g+ and the AirVape Xs which is smaller and holds about 0.18g. Not a very big difference but it adds up over time.

 

[WeAreVenom]

It's never the same.

Sometimes it's once, sometimes it's 3 times, sometimes it is all day. I picked "other" because my answer is really "Inconsistent"

 

[I'm Ron Burgundy?]

Everyday. 1-3 sessions on average. On my days off maybe 4 or 5 at the max.

 

[Laantje]

When I first got my vape I pretty much did like 3 sessions everyday unless I had something special to do. Nowadays I'm too busy with studying and work though. I try to vape whenever I have free time so it depends on how busy my week is, but on average right now its around 2 or 3 days a week, with around 3 or 4 sessions each day.

 

[Diggy Smalls]

I wake up to a small bowl. Usually do two these days before I start my day. When I come home from work, I have a few bowls. Like 3 maybe. Usually while watching Netflix.
On the weekend it's another thing. Hitting a log here and there through the while day. Sometimes it's a lot!

 

[muunch]

Near constantly if I'm not at work/school/etc. I don't know how to define a session, as sometimes I'll sit at my desk and vape 2g thru the day... which I guess is 1 session... but not really?

I'd say 3 minimum, probably up to 10 depending on the day/my mood/activities/etc
