do you think 2 weeks of a t-break did anything?

[gettin lifted]

well im about to find out

before said break i could only get high for like 10 mins.

waiter from work threw me a gram nug of some amazing green. covered in crystals and has pink tiger stripes on it. it also smells GREAT. that may also be because i havent smelt it in 2 weeks.

just turned the ssv on and im about to find out if i can get medicated or not.

wish me luck. ill be back later to update

HAVE FUN!

 

[gettin lifted]

im so gone right now.

.2 in the surfer and im really lit.

hope the duration is back as well.

guess ill just vape at night before bed for a few days and see if i keep this high.

it was like 3-4 weeks of not being able to get any high really and 2 weeks of no cannabis. so really its like im really high for first time in 6 weeks.

hopefully just vaping at night will keep this.

im gonna go watch benson interruption right now. they are talking about breath mint strips infused with thc and its hilarios.

I know that if I just vape in the evenings its so much better of a high. You get to wake up and deal with the day not medicated, and just get blasted before you go to sleep.

thats what im thinking. can make it through the day knowing i can last until night if the high is going to keep its potency. i forget how long since i vaped but im still just as high.

its great to have lower tolerance makes me think about getting a log vape since everyone says they get really high off of .025 i just cant believe that. i think ill have to give one a try.

log vape should keep tolerance low since its much less herb right?

How much and how often you use is THE big factor I think. And yes, using a log vape will very much stretch your supply if you're happy with the dosing effect it provides. What it won't do is give you huge amounts of vapor in a short period of time. So if your herb quality is low to mid grade, and/or you want to get really ripped in a hurry, you may be disappointed. But otherwise, most users find that after x number of tiny bowls (depending on the person and the herb potency), they temporarily lose interest in loading another. Hits are nice and with the fixed temp, you get quite a few. Your SSV is an excellent complement to this type of vape when you do want some big hits.

i think the method of extraction has everything to do with the experience.

if i slowly raise the temps on my herbie, it's much slower coming on and a different feeling than if i use a tiny, tiny bit in my glass tube, which uses approximately as much as a log style, but extracts with a lighter, so you get the full range in one to three extractions. it's completely different, much closer to smoking in the experience.

 

[steiner666]

I was using about 1g a day in the HA or SSV to feel good throughout the majority of my waking hours. I took a couple days break before my wdz showed up, and when it got here i stretched one gram over 4 days, 12+ hours of buzz each day. Basically vaping a stem every hour or so. But it was good quality bud too, a bit better than what i was using with the HA. The HA is able to get more vapor out of the bud for sure, after i've used it in the wdz, but yeah log vapes are just great for controlling your doses basically, and not letting you be wasteful by going cloud chasing. I think everyone who had access to higher quality bud and is concerned with conserving should definitely own one. By my math, they'll pay for themselves in about a month or two if you're anything like me.

I cant believe you believe that.

No one has EVER said that they can get really high from .025

In fact, most log vape users pack at least a few stems for themselves, each of which could hold more or less then .025

.025 of a gram is just the average amount that a PD or MZ stem will hold, it doesnt mean any more then that.

I had been using a whip type vaporizer for quite a while before getting my PD, its a completely different feeling. not so much that the high is much different, but working with the unit is.

Look into it some more if your really interested in a log type vape.

im happy to say that ive been vaping only at night, sometimes twice at night but still only at night. seems like my high is still as good as it was from that first toke on friday.

thanks for posting, this is encouraging, i have to try this...so the other part, about how long it lasts, how's that going? you said your experience is stronger, but how long's it lasting now?

its amazing that before my t-break i would only be high for like 10 mins and i never really felt blasted high like i should have.

after taking this 2 week break it seems to have completely renewed me. .2g in the surfer and im really really high for 2-3 hours.

im hoping that if i just keep to vaping only at night a few hours before bed i will keep my tolerance where its at now. was really worth the 2 week break.

first 3 days were hard but then after that i didnt think MUCH about vaping. give it a try.

they say tolerance is directly effected by down regulation of cannabinoid receptors and down regulation of said receptors is from a build up of a thc metabolite. when you have a lot of thc metabolites in you thats what triggers your receptors to shut down. (its a safety measure your body puts into place so you dont vape yourself retarded) thc has a half life of 7-9 days. (meaning after not using for 7-9 days whatever thc you had stored in your system is now 50% less) then if you choose to go another week thats 25% less of how much you had in your system and so on and so forth.

so in theory 2 weeks removed 75% of the stored up thc, thus allowing my receptors to rebuild themselves since the thc metabolites weren't telling it to shut all those sites down.

Very interesting I think Im in need of a two week break right about now...

 

[VWFringe]

Yeah, that ten minute thing's scary close to home...

12/24 EDIT: I AM 40 hours into my T-Break, jittery, irritable, but definitely manageable (im not acting like a hungry angry baby like i have on occasion).
i was only experiencing a rush for a few seconds while i was hitting it, then very little effect for the next hour and a half. the normalcy bias made me think i was just getting more mature (-you know, better at it), but facts are facts, i wasn't getting my money's worth by a long shot.

Jan. 14, 2011 EDIT:
it only took me about three weeks of vaping 2-3x daily to re-build my tolerance, it's been three days with much reduced highs, so i'm t-breaking again, and i do remember why i resisted it before...because i like to get high all the time, hahaha

 

[gettin lifted]

really though guys give yourself at least 1 week off and it will be totally worth it.

although if you go back to your heavy hitting habits it will go back up to where you were.

 

[Chubby]

Reading this thread has raised a couple questions. I'm about to come off a 2 month break & will be switching over to vaping. Before my break, I smoked about a gram a day of White Widow or Train Wreck. I did build up a tolerance, but still got very stoned if I snapped 4 to 6 big bongs & it would last at least an hour if not two.

It makes me nervous to hear folks talking about 10 minute highs vaping. I've tried it a couple times, but after I had already smoked a little. Can I expect a big drop in the quality of high or the duration?

 

[AGBeer]

I can almost venture to say that if you are taking a t-break from smoking and going directly into vaping, stand the fuck by man...

Even with my hardcore smoking buddies, they have been scared by the effects of my vape on more than one occasion.

Just a little different than you are accustomed to PLUS a long ass T-Break.
Its gonna be just like the first time all over again for you bro!

 

[Nycdeisel]

Exactly, dont be scared by people who let their tolerance get out of control, they are no example, but one of something you shouldnt get to.

It should be like your first time, so take it slow when vaping.

I find that I get more out of one fat vapor bong hit(using a DBV) then from one snap from a combustion bong.

I almost never smoke, just vaporize. When I do smoke, it really hurts my throat and my physical body, it makes me feel pretty high, but a very stoney fucked up high that only lasts an hour or so.

Dont even worry, Chubby, I would be more concerned with being overwhelmingly high after not using at all for 2 months and then vaporizing some high grade stuff. But going slow on the vapor and staying hydrated should prove an enjoyable vaporizing experience

just wanted to remind everyone that my tolerance boomed do to jwh use and not marijuana. if i never used it i probably would have never taken a break or needed it.

ive been getting ridiculously high the past 6 days now. no change in effect or duration.

have only been vaping when i get off of work/before bed, instead of all day.

i just got off work and i think its time to do some ssv rips through the saxophone.

 

[VWFringe]

i got off a two week t-break, and started using like i used to - 3x daily, and it only took three weeks to build up my tolerance again, which is why i'm writing this, in case anyone needs it later...

my ten minute high isn't exactly that, it's better and worse than that...i start my vaping as usual with an inhale, and there should be something happening even then, and it starts and builds, and i'm thinking, ok this is working...then it's like my inner eye opens or something, and i see right past the high, like it's not even there, within moments of the inhalation, but it's not exactly like there's no high, my eye's get bloodshot, my responses are slowed and i get the feeling of being disconnected from my emotions, somewhat...so it's not like the high is only ten minutes, it's like there's a speed limiter, or governor on a motor, that only let's me get 15% of the high.

and i've recognized that for about four days now, but have been unwilling to start another t-break, which is crazy because im wasting $ (i haven't used today, so i'm starting again i guess)

Smoke. Or eat it. Try a different method if possible.

Also, try a different vape if you can use more then one. I have noticed that when I haven't used my LB in a while and get a fresh battery that gets nice and hot and some good herb with a fine grind I can get very very very medicated quickly and efficiently and I do vape several times a day.

Just trying to give you some ideas.

Thats just wrong... Making love to your SSV is one thing. Incorporating other inanimate objects (other than a water filtration device) is well...

 

[Wolface]

I usually try to rotate my use of 4 different vapes. If I use the EXACT same amount in each, they all produce a slightly different kind of buzz. It seems that the MFLB medicates as good as it does because I tend to vape the load to blackness, extracting everything possible.

lol i hope that was a joke AG. I have a Phire Saxophone bong, not an actual saxophone.

 

[AGBeer]

Of course it was a joke

I had to make reference to the meme of yesterday - Epic Sax Guy (cause you used the word Saxophone in a sentence with vaping)
