Anyone able to still smoke and vape?

I only liked joints when someone else was around to share it with. So mainly i had a bong i would hit. I wasn't really smoking during COVID so i didn't link of all the consequences of sharing.

I have only been vaping since this past May so i am relatively new to it. Initially i had mediocre results and i was not really feeling it. This was a PAX Plus device. I tried concentrates in the PAX but found that to be very messy.

But to be very honest this web site has helped me immeasurably with my PAX & now it is decent as i have learned some hacks. I still want a POTV Lobo but that will work until i can swing the Lobo.

But getting back to the question of still smoking, my bong use has dwindled considerably and the one thing that i immediately notice when returning is the harshness of the smoke on my lungs. I think to myself why did i like smoking in the first place? Edibles are ok too but i never enjoyed them as much as smoking or vaping and the high is never as good as a bong hit or with my vape(s). The other thing i don't miss with smoking is the smell on me. No one else smokes or vapes in my family and i get frequent comments. Vaping smells so much less and the smells do not linger as long. But my PAX still stinks after a session or a bit while charging.

Now the only time i immediately reach for the Bong is if my vapes are not ready or contain a strain i don't want to consume a heavy sativa like late at night. I do find consumption of sativas late in the day messes with my sleep patterns. I need a heavy Indica then or else i won't be able to fall asleep until 3 am. I also have multiple vapes beside my PAX. I have both a Boundless Terp Pen Spectrum and a Puffco Pivot for concentrates which has a whole new world of exploration.

I only vape. I tried smoking cigarettes and weed but realized that I'm not a fan. I'm more of an exotic type of guy, haha)) That's why I hit my Geek Bar Pulse X Platinum Edition every day, and I am delighted with what it brings))

My approach when I started vaping was to expand my consumption options, not to limit them. I never feel like I am missing out regardless of the form I choose. It's all good.

Really enjoying Lobo, made the switch month ago. Had some accumulate kief that I felt should be smoked. But when I opened the pipe box, that burned smell. That ash, tar, just dirty smell immediately reminded me dry herb vaping is the way.

As of late, I use an all glass path ( pretty short too - just the buddah wand with a cork screw mouth piece I made ) and its very close to smoking and if I ever get close to combusting the feedback is immediate so its easier to avoid reaching that point

I combusted twice over the weekend, learning the BallR cap and a cyclone 2 torch... Hotter quicker than what I'm used to. Anyway. The Dynavap stank to me so bad I couldn't use it again. Soaking in 91% right now.

It's a little surprising considering I definitely combusted for four months before DHV...

The LONGER you stay away from combustion and then try it again those feelings about why you got away from it immediately come rushing back ! LOL

I had to pack my vape away on vacation, so I decided to roll a J for that night. I got almost halfway through before deciding that I did not want to get high that badly. Yuck.

Still enjoy smoking (gasp!) a fatty before doing yard work. I find the highest lasts me longer, and is easier to obtain from a joint than 4 sessions on a vape. I don't vape when I go backwoods camping, just one more thing to carry. So I fucked combustion first 14 years ago, and then brought it back to supplement according to conditions.

For me it really depends on the quality of the herb for smoking. For example I vape/dab all the time for years every day, that is what satisfies me typically, but lately I have grown some Tom Hill Haze, and the bud is so potent and the style of high is so clean that I can smoke it all day long and be completely satisfied. For me if smoking it has to be pretty killer, or I feel like I need more.

Well, that passing and sharing I don't miss anymore. I gave it up after I caught a real nasty infection from a friend I was sharing a quick joint with outside. She was already a bit sick, and got real bad the days and weeks afterwards. Me too then. It took me several month to recover. And I totally learned my lesson. It all started with a joint, so no more joint sharing :hmm:. Then, a month later, the pandemic hit and we all (well, many) re-evaluated our behavior. So why is passing a joint around (even to strangers) still a thing? No wonder I had so many colds in the past.

But, yeah I totally miss this ritual of consuming together. I hope we can find ways to put that social aspect of consumption more into focus with vaporizers. That's kind of a health aspect, too.

I feel most virus is spread via air, and even if you hadn't shared the joint, just standing beside them while they breathed on you for a few minutes is a great way to catch someone else's illness.
