Idk why but I get self consious about how much or how little I vape. I've recently found that with my WPA I feel like I have to nurse with the Starry over the course of a 10 minute session to get the amount of action I want and I'm not sure if that's what I'm supposed to do to get the most out of what I have. Like I'm depriving myself of the flavor if I do it like this. So flavor heads! How many hits do you do in one "session"? What time do you do it? Do you ever nurse the bong?
What is your intent? Are you looking for psychoactive effects? Are you enjoying the flavour? Is it about ritual?
I'm not sure there is a wrong way or a right way. It is just what works for each person.
When it comes to how many times, I don't count.
I have a Starry v3 that I use with a WPA and a bong, when I am seeking psychoactive effects. I load the Starry with ground herb, turn the heat to 428, I wait about 30-45 seconds after reaching I start hitting the bong until there is no vapor left. Typically, that is two sessions. The first is favourful and it hits. The second session starts to grow weak quickly, but I keep using the bong until there is nothing left.
When I have other things to do, or vape as I go, I like convection vapes for this. Just like a cup of tea, sometimes I forget about it. Without creating draw, there isn't much cooking going on. Sometimes I will run the same bowl 3 or 4 times because I keep forgetting about the vape sitting beside me. I can go back to my vape, reheat the left-overs, and it still tastes OK.
The intent with the Starry is to get stoned. The intent with my convection vapes is to enjoy vaping, while still doing other things.
Going back to combustion, I remember my dad smoking 4 1/2 packs of smokes a day in the early 1980's. It was a stressful time in his life; sometimes he would have two cigarettes going at the same time. Now I understand.
