From Vaporizer can you get a body high?

I have a volcano classic vaporizer and was wondering if it is possible to get a body high?

It is quite possible to get a body high with a vaporizer! It depends on strain for the most part... I find indica-dominant strains to carry a much more intense body high than sativas, but you'll just have to experiment with different strains to find which one holds ideal effects.

Also, don't expect the sensations felt by the body following a vapor session to be the same as after a smoke session. I'd describe the vapor as providing less of a body "stone" than the smoke.

Ya I guess that makes sense I might need maybe a stronger strain of indica to experience a body buzz form the vap.

Something not yet taken into account is the temperature at which you are vaporizing. THC has a lower vaporizing(or boiling) point then other cannabinoids such as CBD, which is what provides that heavier body high.
The strain does have a lot to do with it as well.

yes you can get a body high from a vaporizer.

(that's the short answer)

I vape around 6 or 7 on the volcano classic. Should I go lower?

Hmmm, I vape at 7 on the VC and usually have a pretty good body high... like I said, could be an issue of strain or of looking for a smoke-induced body stone. I've experienced both.

I know nothing about the Volcano's power settings, but in general to get a more intense body high you increase the temperature.

I guess I will get like purple kush or something because it is a strong indica strain and that is what I heard gives you a good body high. And I will have to experiment with the temperatures I guess.

yeah, i also increase heat on my glass if i want body high and use the same strain, only change temp.

Yeah, for more of a body high, bump up the temperature. Just know that when you start to blacken your herb, you're taking it too far. But anything short of that (ie dark chocolate brown) is acceptable.

I don't like vaping at high temps, but Increasing the temperature will be sure to get all the goods into you. Different strands will have a better body buzz, and each strand should be vaped accordingly.

I think for me the best body buzz comes from tinctures and edibles. No worries with the heat just be prepared to feel like a drunk monkey.

Yeah. I too have a VC but generally start at 4, then 5, if it is more moist bud you can go again at 5 here, then 5.5, then 6, then 6.5, then 7. (This heat cycle still does not brown the herb as much as I do with say an, LSV going through its paces)

It is insane how much you can extract. So yes, imo play with temps. Those first bags at 4 are so delicious. This is all grade A buds though. You can go even longer with it if you put oil or ANY type of hash. Much longer. And higher temps too.

I used to start at 6, if its any consolation.

Setting 7 is supposed to be 202 C. For more of a body high you can go to 8-8.5 (214-220). Your vapor will be more harsh though, as you get that high in the temp range.

Yes, the higher the temp the more "body high" you will get. You shoudl take a look at the cannabinoid vaping temp chart/effects to dial in on what you want.

With all do respect, I really do not understand the moderation on this forum. Seems like a rather snotty comment to be honest. The guy is just trying to help out, and as a frequent reader albeit for a short time it helps my understanding of vaporization that people chime in with their experiences, in short or detailed.
Just saying :)

The type of high is affected by strain (try indica and indica-dominant), temperature setting (higher temp = higher you), and even age (I'm not sure if we know exactly what happens to the potency or type of high as the various chemicals degrade, but you could always try experimenting with different strains "aged" for differing amounts of time. There's also a chance that your buds weren't cured right. A proper cure would ensure that there is less water vapor when you vape. I would imagine that the amount of vapor your lungs can absorb at a time is limited and that water vapor might compete with the good stuff). If you follow those guidelines, you should definitely feel a body high from your vaporizer.

It was a sufficient answer to the yes/no question posed by the OP, but someone had already confirmed the OP's original question, and the OP asked additional follow-up questions. If this post was the first response, it would have been fine. However, all the information in this post was already provided in a previous post; therefore, it would follow that the post does not conform to the guideline: "Does my reply offer any significant advice or help contribute to the conversation in any fashion?” as it does not provide any new information or contribute to the conversation.

That rule is a critical factor in this type of forum (information distribution), as it reduces clutter and allows people to browse for info without having to read a lot of pointless chatter (like modnotes, people complaining about them, and people needlessly explaining them :p). But the post clearly was a violation of the rules, so it's not really fair to bash the mods for enforcing them..

@Bleezy, I agree from your perspective, but from mine what disturbs the flow of a thread is someone typing in red in someones post, accusing them of not following the rules, even though they might just have been replying to the OPs first post - as a lot of people do - without reading the entire thread first.
Also, I am not "bashing" any mods, I simply ask if it's really necessary to apply such strict measures. Being a forum moderator myself for years I value constructive input on moderation, and that's all. No debate or sidetrack needed :)

Haha yea I don't really remember typing that. I can get frustrated by the pervasiveness of rules too, and I have absolutely no idea why I would type that long-ass useless post, especially in response to a useless post about a useless post reprimanding another useless post. In retrospect, my post seems unnecessary and condescending; I guess I felt a need to quench my thirst for being a presumptuous, self-righteous, critical asshat. I apologize if my arrogance offended you in any way. I shall repent by giving you this neat bee :buzz: It freaking dances, so I trust we're cool now.

No offense taken mate, not before either, but the bee still made me very happy :D

Well, if it is an Indica you will still slightly feel the body high but mostly a cerebral high because you're not inhaling carcinogens which is the root of the body high/fatigued feeling after vaping
