Greetings and hallucinations, fellow vaporizer connoisseurs. For years, I'd rolled joints and rarely used a bong. I've guerrilla grown my personal stash for many moons out here in the tropical rainforest belt of our green planet, so having the right equipment needed to enjoy my harvested and fermented bud is important. Then I ran out of rolling papers, and because the lawbooks call for 14 years of pokey-time with hard labor as punishment over possession of a little as one solitary joint where I live, I decided to try vaping for the first time about five years ago, so I wouldn't ever be spotted buying rolling papers. Thus began my journey into the world of vaping, after years of unhealthy joint smoking.
The mouthwatering aroma and clear-headed high from vaping made me a believer in the notion that the era of joints and bogs would soon be consigned to the dustbin of history. But then came a few months between when my Airizer Solo 1 quit working, and when my Airizer Solo 2 arrived via a very slow postal system in my remote neck of the woods. Having nice fermented buddage on hand in vacuum sealed bags, yet having neither rolling papers nor a working vaporizer to blaze it with, I decided to try bong hits as an interim get-high measure, until my new Airizer Solo 2 vaporizer showed up in the post.
With my very first bong hit, I noticed immediately an unpleasant sensation of dizziness that I NEVER experienced when vaping the same fermented bud. I speculate that the dizziness I felt when taking bong rips is a symptom of mild carbon monoxide poisoning, since that gas, identical to a component of toxic automobile exhaust gases, is released and inhaled when cannabis is combusted. The other unpleasant aspect of bong rips is that the taste of each bong rip was foul and corrosive in comparison to the flavorful aroma and taste of vaporizing the SAME weed. I go to a lot of trouble to cultivate only the most flavorful weed strains, and now I see that vaporizing is the ONLY way to savor those delicious flavors with NO associated stench of burning vegetation.
To paraphrase Henry Ford, who responded to reporters' color option enquiries by assuring the American public they could have any color Ford Model T car, "provided that the color selected is black", I make bold to suggest that discerning lovers of cannabis should feel free to consume weed in any manner they see fit, provided that the method of ingestion chosen is vaporizing.
