Going back to smoking...So different...

[KimDracula]

I've found that I no longer really enjoy smoking when vaporizing is possible. I'm sure I would get used to it again if forced to, but I'm one of the people that is able to get at least as high vaping (w/ less bud) than I do when smoking. The difference in taste is enormous and is the biggest turn off for me when going back to smoke. It's quite a difference after transitioning from being a cigarette and bud smoker to a bud smoker and finally to only vaping flowers. There are some awfully nice glass pieces these days, however, that offer some surprisingly clean-tasting hits. If I had to go back to smoking I'd probably have to spend some hundreds on a very nice bong. I've had my EQ for over two years now and it's been a solid workhorse that hasn't failed me yet. When it does, I'll probably just buy another one unless my budget can stand a Cloud or maybe that Herbalizer, or whatever other neat machines that are being developed now.

I always feel like crap the morning after smoking with friends, definitely switched over to being only a social smoker since I started vaping.

If you end up vapeless again, you can vape with fire.
Just put 2 or 3 pipescreens on the weed and smoke / vape it.

Only negative sideeffect, little burnings or a bit of condensate in the vapour,
when you don´t vape perfect. But still much less condensate and more thc than smoking

Nothing for people, who have a vape, but interesting for smokers or vapeless people.

Dont start this again haha

Fuck combustion. I will never knowingly or willingly do it ever again.

When I have found myself without a vape, I have had moderate success vaping with methane instead! Since I was scared to use fire and risk combustion; I decided to push a concentrated fart through a firmly packed, finely-ground herb filled E-Nano GonG. You must use screens on both the top and bottom of the load, or get a granulated green cloud of herbfarts shooting out of the GonG to whoever is vaping it. Obviously, you need a friend or interested bystander to help supply the methane. Ensure that the GonG is firmly placed between the cheeks, and don't grab it right away, it'll be hot!

Good luck!

@herbivore21 Where is the video mate??

 

[herbivore21]

Youtube took it down, they said that I was just fartarsing around!

Whenever I am alone I vape, but when I am with my friends I always want to smoke. I think its a combo of the social aspect and the fact that we mix tobacco in the bong.

I only smoke when visiting friends that indulge and they don't have or want to vape. I find that this means that I smoke about once every two or so months.

My last occasion to smoke was just last week when I went to "acquire" some concentrate from a friend. I ended up taking one crystal nail hit of concentrate and followed that up by having a bowl of Jack Herer strain he wanted my opinion on.

Despite using an high end Black Leaf peculator bong, I found the aftertaste of smoking the bud to be quite disgusting. It even kinda ruined the experience for me even though I was quite high and the bud was of very high quality. I never mentioned the bad taste to my friend. I would worry that he would be offended that I did not enjoy the experience or think I was referring to his growing ability or the bud itself. I just really wish we had done the hits in either my Pax or his EQ. I did try and ask him about his EQ and why he didn't have it out but he kinda blew off the suggestion and said that he really didn't use his EQ much anymore since he broke his glass for the whip and he was never a big fan of bag vaporizing.

After about an hour after smoking, I had a very sore throat and also had small coughing spells to remind me of my smoking experience. This prompted me to buy a back up vape for if/when my Pax is not available. I really hope it is at least two more months before doing this again!

True. Plus 200% THC!

I love to vape.

But as a long time joint aficionado I still like to smoke joints occasionally. I am probably in the minority among other FC users when it comes to that.

Vaping does tastes better, makes me feel better, and doesn't leave me so completely wasted. However, every once in a while, I still like to settle down in the evening for a fatty of some sticky dank. I think its the habitual ritual of picking it, rolling it, holding it, smoking it, and passing it (though my wife would dispute the last part) that I still enjoy.

It helps me sleep like its my job and with it I have really great dreams.

But since I started vaping, I've found I don't really like to smoke joints as much during the day. If I do it kinda hamstrings any sort of motivation I had to do anything. Vaping allows me to get more done without feeling quite so ambivalent about responsibilities during the day.

I hate that I just don't like the taste anymore- it pains me...

It is like I have completely lost all my taste for it, every strain I have tastes the same when combusting. I no longer pick up any of the nuances and subtleties of different flavors anymore. They all just taste of the same--> Awfulness.

Now, it is like vaping is the only way I can pick up those flavors.

 

[the_cascadian]

i've done a few combustion experiments since i started vaping last august. i have definitely noticed the flavor is disgusting, especially through a water pipe, even if totally clean. this is intriguing because when i smoked, i always felt that flavor was best with a completely clean water tool and a hemp wick. not so anymore! joints are somewhat more bearable.

i'm still committed to vaporizing after these experiments but i did enjoy the effects of combusting. when i smoke, the high always feels stronger, more entrancing, there is a sharper smack in the face and i feel myself being pulled into whatever i'm doing. my favorite thing about cannabis is its ability to activate my mind and allow me to enter deep states of concentration/fascination, and i have to admit that in my experience, this effect is much stronger after burning herb. the high is also more soothing for me and i'm less prone to anxiety. most interesting to me was that the herb simply feels more medicinal when i smoke: my body and muscles relax more, and there is more of the warm fuzzy feeling that melts away tension.

Been dry for a couple of days here, yesterday someone offered to share a Blunt. Two hits were all I could handle even though I really wanted to be able to sit and smoke and find relief for what ails me smoking ain't an option anymore.

Two hits and I had to go brush my tooth and wash my face and hands.

All one of them huh?

 

[RUDE BOY]

Have to maintain that online persona of a old troll so tooth seems right.

Brew a cup of hot chocolate or tea.
Fuck combustion!!

Amen brother!

Same here, i have friends who just prefer smoking because they find it "faster".

It just so happens that one of these friends does small indoor grows. Every time i'm asked to sample a bud at his house i usually have to smoke it

...And it just tastes like smoke, i feel bad because i can't give him really any info about the flavor or flush. (other than ash color)

Hi everyone,


I had to go back to smoking. It's a weird adjustment. Smoking makes me so much more sleepy.
As if by vaping I got higher but not as stoned. Which I've come to love.

Anyone else has experience switching back?
I thought maybe smoking less, since it wouldn't make me as sleepy during the day?

I've only been vapeing for a little while now but I find that it makes me less sleepy and I have to smoke some flower about 30 mins before I go to bed just to fall asleep .
I have problems getting to sleep for a long time anyway due to pain and comfort issues and smoking has usually helped that .
I would really like to stop smoking completely .
I am surprised how bad it tastes after vaping for such a short time.

My question is would I have the same problem vaping flower (I only vape concentrates now ) Or do I just have to smoke .

Smoking makes you tired faster, personally I think its the smoke(bad parts of it that vaporization gets rid of) that do it, vaping at a high temp with flowers might be better for sleep.

So I guess my question is would smoking flower before I go to sleep be more or less effective as vapeing flower at high temp for getting to sleep .
I only have a concentrate vape and am trying to figure out if I should get another just for flower ?
Or get another vape for concentrate that has more temp control ?

Which oil vaporizer are you using now? Do you have access to a dry herb vaporizer?

This perplexes me because a good Indica dominant oil usually knocks me out.
