Do you fill your vape for one or multiple sessions?

Up until I got my EVO I would fill a vape for more than one session per fill. For example...I could pack a Solo stem and get 2 to 3 sessions from it. Basically 4 good hits, pull the stem and hit the same stem later for another buzz or two. The most extreme case of filling for multiple sessions would be my Focus vape. I can easily get 3-4 highs from one fill if I limit myself to the 4 hits I need for a buzz. I have good lung capacity, can hold it all in a long time without oxygen deprivation and have an average tolerance.... so maybe these factors are a help since I don't need more than 4 hits.

The EVOs convection extracts the goodies more completely for me and it would seem I've naturally began filling the ELBs with enough for just one session. I feel like the EVO extracts the goodies more efficiently in the first session so I don't feel as confident that there is always enough left over for additional sessions so I shoot for one fill per buzz/session.

Do you fill your vape for more than one session or shoot for the one and done?

Am testing out micro-dosing at present, so it's a hit and run for me. The fewer hits the better. Monitoring end effects and tolerance, not so much in terms of sessions.

.01g in Modded EQ, daytime, one hit and done.
.03g in same in the evening, two hits and done. (probably done in one, but 2nd is for good measure ;) )

Thx @DDave. But do you fill the vape, micro-dose, and empty the vape OR come back and micro-dose some more from the same un-emptied vape?

I've been filling the EVO with just one session's worth lately and it's new to me to not fill my vape for more than one session....... was wondering what other folks do.

It's a fill, vape, and empty. I use a high temp extraction. On one good rip, .01g is spent. I've tried further hits... no goodies left.

This response makes me wonder though. Are there really no further goodies, or just a much lower amount that get masked by the first hit? I think I will save a micro-dose after hitting it one time... then later when not elevated, will give it another rip just to see if any noticeable effect.

It doesn't really taste so great when I go back to a bowl after it's cooled down too much, it seems. With my LSV I used to do these long, long sessions that would just go on forever with a medium heat. Being limited to a cheap portable with a 5 minute turn off, I find myself packing it for 2 or three rounds. Though I have also toyed with smaller amounts and higher temps.

I think I've become addicted to seeing the cloud part of the experience. I used to take joy in holding every last bit of vapor in, but it's kind of the opposite lately.

@His_Highness I fill my solo stem and get between 2-3 sessions then empty. If by session you mean the vape turns off and you have to turn it back on (it has a 12 minute auto shut off).

It varies how many draws I get in each session, as a lot of the time I'll take a few hits and zone out, I then get zoned back in by the vape session ending with the vape beeping, and I have to turn it back on to continue my session.

Sometimes I turn my vape on and get distracted and so an entire 12 minute session passes and I've forgotten to even take a draw!

Great responses folks! I see a trend and it's shining a light on why I might choose a particular approach. I wish I had set up a poll for this one. Not ready to declare a winner yet but single sessions are leading so far.

One session per fill - Better taste per session and more potent/useful ABV. Sacrifice some efficiency by having to re-load.

Multiple sessions per fill - so far...looks like it's just us folks to lazy to re-up :lol:

I shamelessly load 10 hours worth at a time into my Pax 2 and stir between sessions.

At home I can set up whatever elaborate ritual will suit my taste, during the day I need to be able to get in a 2 minute session without whipping out a kit, so it's either stir and enjoy, or make fire.

Yes, the last session tastes worse than the first session, but it hardly tastes bad. I'd call it a somewhat buttery taste at the end, certainly beats the pants off tasting tar.

Im a high temp vaporist and the only time I don't finish a bowl in one sitting is when I decide to save the high temp compounds for a stoney, bed time bowl later in the evening. I compensate by packing about double my usual bowl size when I do this.

I like to load my nano stem for a "single" session that I typically break into two sittings.

I'll first consume the majority of the "goodness" by sipping it over 15 minutes or so at a lower heat temp. Then I'll usually take a 15 to 30 minute respite before consuming the rest at a higher heat level (usually getting one or two strong hits).

I always fill for one session at most. Once it has heated a while it is not fresh any more and I like to try to get the terpenes with the cannabinoids. I would just do only enough for two pulls if I had a vape that could do it. Then it would be like perpetual fresh pull, just one pull from every .025 pinch. There are times I do more than one session with the same herb but it is not often. It usually leaves me disappointed though.

I nearly always finish the load in one session. I think a portable convection vape with near isntant heat up time would possibly change this.

your wish is granted, its called the Grasshopper, and its great.

I always fill for one session. I like micro dosing and flavor chasing. I tried to have one hit at a time like DDave, but I find that my first vape of the day gives me the best effects and trying to have more 30-60 minutes later doesn't always seem to have a noticeable increase to my high. instead I have 2 or 3 and quit.

I'd Like the Grasshopper, but I understand it is hard to buy at the moment? (I haven't checked the thread for a while) If there's a shop that will deliver to the UK that has them in stock I'd buy one, looks like an amazing vape!
