Still better than smoking tobacco, gotta tame one demon at a time I'm not superman

I occasionally smoke. It's usually only when I'm offered it with friends, and I don't have a vape on me.
It's a very rare occurrence. Maybe once every few months.

I mentioned it as a random thought, but cleaned up my old house this weekend and found a stash of stuff. Part of that was stuff was a bong. I found an old box vape I never could make work 15 or so years ago and had that going like a chimney because I now understood the process the other day. But, there was this bong just sitting there today and I decided to see...flashback to 'nam kinda thing. (As a metaphor. I've avoided all war fighting personally.)

I must admit to forgetting just how much of a rush you can get with a solid hit from a bong. "B-O-N-G!!" indeed.

My mouth tastes terrible and I think I'll not repeat the process and will probably give the bong away to a buddy.

Oh look, that nice wooden dugout I used to use when I wanted to sneak a quickie. I wonder....

Funny. I still occasionally buy glass pieces intended for combustion to add to my collection, even if I don't expect to get much use out of it, just to add the art to my collection. I have at least a coupple of glass pipes that I've never used because I bought them after I quit smoking.

my last bout of combustion actually involved mugwort LOL ... I tried vaping it and no vapor at all so then used one of my vape bubblers to then combust it ... if I want some now I just make tea with it instead . but yeah , when a friend offers the pipe I point to the vape and just look at him ...

It got cleaned and is back to normal. Don’t you worry about me! Glass doesn’t hold smell the gunk does. Clean the gunk and your good to go. I combusted out of the same 18” bong for 10 years and I still use it today only for Vaporization and it has zero combustion taste or smell. Alcohol, PBW, Simple Green, and vinegar are all in my cleaning arsenal. Give them a try they work great.

 

[Bad Dog]

Been a little while. Had something of a slip After receiving some bad dog related news and feeling crappy after my second vaccine I broke down and bought a pack of cigars I don't deal well with stress and I was despite............ I'm so ashamed But my sins continue cause I figured in for a penny in for a pound and I smoked some batch bowls, yep I'm a bastard ! But the smoking didn't do alot for me, I spent a day smoking bowls but never recaptured the magic smoking had on me? Instead it reminded me of when I was switching and how it felt like it was missing something. Smoking still has more initial intensity but it's not like it's by a mile but the high felt one demential and flat. I'm so use to vaping and what it feels like, smoking feels almost alien now. So I did go back to vaping my weed without issue but I'm still finishing off the pack of cigars so I'm no saint wish I could say I only had one puff and was totally discussed but smoking is still very familiar to me but I don't think I'll buy another pack till after my dog has been put down, I already see myself crumbling. C'est la vie huh?

I used to cheat for the first 1-2 years after I started vaping.
During the 3-5 years, something snapped in me. I physically get sick and throw up nearly instantly!

It is somewhat comical, especially as I was a pack a day smoker for many years.
I don't even fuck around with a smoke anymore. No joy to be found for me. YMMV.

 

[Ramahs]

I don't combust cannabis anymore.

But I do still have a small tobacco pipe collection, and a couple tins of my favorite tobaccos.

Once in a while every couple of months or so I'll be in the mood and I'll pull out one of my briar pipes and enjoy a bowl.

But not cannabis. I vape my cannabis.

I got a free pre-roll w/ some CBD I ordered from WNC. 1st time I've smoked a joint in well over a year.

NOPE!

Finished almost all of it, but it was a fucking chore. Just tastes like ass now.

Even just 6 months ago, I would still occasionally close a night time sesh w/ a pull off a one hitter, but besides the taste, it started to feel like it was cutting into the vape high, which I didn't like, so I ended up trashin' it.

Coming up on 2 years tobacco free too. That was the big one for me. When I first joined in 2016, I would go back and forth trying to quit. 3 months on, 4 weeks off. 2 months smoking, 2 months not, etc. etc. It wasn't until I tried nic salts that I was finally able to quit the analogs for good. Got off the nic salts at the end of last year, and if I have any kind of nicotine craving, I use a nicotine toothpick. I'm averaging 1 toothpick every 2 days! Not bad!

So fucking nice (relieved) to finally have that cigarette monkey (demon) off my back.

Fuck it (combustion) before it fucks you.
