How many TRUE combustion-fuckers?

[corvo]

i dont understand if you stop smoking and vape how you can smoke again , the last year i try to hit a blunt and its taste like a shit , i respect it only i cant understand

 

[chillAtGVC]

The only reason that I would ever combust again is if I found myself staying someplace with weed and I had no vape with me. And I would not look forward to it.

 

[Robindean]

depends, but i voted vape and rarely combust.
infact im more edibles now.
my lungs and spine just dosent let me rip anymore.

I ditched combustion in March 2018, after 30y of what can only be described as true dedication to smoking.

As christmas approached, I rolled myself a special one as a treat for xmas day. I looked forward to it for ages.

When the day arrived, I necked down a mince pie, opened the window, looked out over the cityscape, lit the fucker and started to smoke it. Ahhh...aaagggggg it tasted like shit and I ditched it after a couple of tokes.

Never again! Amazing how quickly the body gets used to not inhaling smoke.

I'll still combust with friends in a circle but I'm done after a couple hits, looking for my vape to cover the taste, It's hard to tell a friend it tastes nasty when it's the same flavor I'm buying from them! I haven't combusted at home in over a year except for an occasional Dyna overheat.

I've told exceptional growers to stop passing me joints because it will taste like ash to me, I used to find it hard to do but there came a certain point where I couldn't handle it anymore. There's only so long I could keep the act up.

Nowadays I just ask them to give me a tiny corner of bud to try it, it's also very funny seeing their faces after I set them up a hit on the Tasty Tube

I get mine from a friend of many years, so he's ok with me wanting to taste any flavors even though he's always been a joint and oilcart guy.

I fell into the third catigory. Also doesn't help when you are around other combusters.

Y'all ever go through a period of craving combustion, and then redline too hard or get a small flash of the start of combustion and any desire you had is gone?

I really want to smoke today but I'm trying to remind myself of those times I've been in the mood, the opportunity presented itself, and I still vehemently tried to avoid consuming the smoke.

It's been so long since I've had a snap and I've been visualizing destroying a half gram through the bong.

 

[budski]

no
I don't lick ashtrays either

I don't get that desire, and also hate accidental combustion

 

[autoflowerautobot]

Check my flair. It's been close to two years since I last combusted anything, period. Almost 5 since I fucked combustion, but it fucked me the last time I had a vape too hot!

 

[H34D7]

To be clear I haven't intentionally combusted in over a year. Last time I "tried" it was straight ass, couldn't even taste the weed, had to brush my teeth 3 times.

This is about the irrational want to smoke. I've read others have gotten the same feeling, combusted and then were filled with instant regret.

Y'all can't act like you don't think about smoking, at all, ever. I don't buy that shit . I smoked for 15 years daily, I'll never go back, but I won't deny that it pops in my head from time to time.

This is about the irrational want to smoke.

After so, so many good times had involving smoking, 40+ yrs for me, there's definitely good associations and it's easy to remember those. And I haven't intentionally combusted in at least 5 yrs.
But I do have some vapes that will go there if I'm not careful, and that reminder, that taste, is enough to kill any thoughts of rolling up a fat one.

 

[Rodney]

Have the people who continue to combust tried a ball vape? if not there is the reason you still combust right there.

Just get something that kills you like a screwball and fill it right up and that will put you off inhaling anything for a bit lol - there is absolutely no need to be combusting when you own a ball vape as you just chain smoke the ball vape and that takes the edge off needing to combust.

Give it a go and see

Yeah it's like being able to look back on the good times in a relationship that just shouldn't be.

We're funny creatures

It's so weird how the second you feel that tickle or smell that smell you drop everything, clean everything, all while in detest of the smell.

I only vaped pretty much exclusively from 2003-2020ish.

Over the last few years I have smoked a little, and well cured homegrown (my own) herb in very light use can be enjoyable in a way not found vaping, but I continue to vape almost always. I have some strains that vape nicely, but also smoke very well too.

Not smoking weed, I literally never think about that and I smoked mixed tobacco joints for over twenty years. However I can still get weird urges to smoke a cigarette, it's very rare but it does happen.

That's interesting, I'm the opposite. Haven't thought of cigs since 2011.

Traded a pair of headphones for a "blu" ecig my friend tried and didn't like. It was ass but I managed a radio shack and knew it could be good, so I started making box mods and it was all history. Found nic salts in like 2016-2017 and haven't touched a mod since.

You don't consume any nicotine now? I've gone without cannabis for extended periods of time before out of choice. I don't think I've gone a full calendar year since adolescence without nicotine though.

I remember reading that you found certain strains way better smoked than vaped. I find that interesting, are there any specific traits that you notice about a grow that tells you it's gonna smoke better?

Same. No desire to smoke herb at all but I still crave a cig every once in awhile after ~9yrs not smoking.

Yes, smoke and nicotine-free! I haven't had nicotine in over ten years.

Never really been a smoker but used to mix herb and tobacco. I went away with a well seasoned vaper around 10 years ago and he brought his volcano with him. I have never smoked herb since until around 3 months ago and had the urge. Found some papers, rolled a J and cant say that I enjoyed the experience. The lack of nice taste, lingering smell in the house and a nagging wife who immediately asked what I was doing, reminded me why I loke vaping so much.
The taste for me is high priority and have recently been using my Solo 3 and my Dynavap Titanium Vong with a THC cap, which satisfies all my needs. I am planning to get a Tempest 2 (Hopefully) when they drop next and look forward to trying something new that gets a big thumbs up from just about everyone that has had the fortune to experience it.
I like to also remind myself that I don't go through quite so much weed by vaping, however I think that I'm probably kidding myself on!

I used to go through an eighth every day or two, so that's one thing I know for sure I'm doing better on

Today at 3PM will be a full 7 days since I quit combusting. It sounds small but I combusted for 12 years straight and very VERY rarely had beyond a 36-48 hour break, and only ever by force of necessity.

A year of chronic throat inflammation made life nearly unliveable in 2024 for me, I was in denial about smoke and started to smoke more (which ended up killing more cilia and creating the illusion that I was better because my body stopped pushing up as much ash). Sure enough though I had to face facts, invested in a DHV, and made the resolute decision to never combust ever again.

On Day 1 I had the thought, "Well maybe I should just smoke less, not stop..." and I could feel the hand of God on me saying NO, GO THE WAY YOU'VE CHOSEN and I realized that I don't even want the occasional joint or bowl pack. I just want to get into the DHV world, with 380-410 degree hits not 3800-4100 like a Bic! No more lighter fluid, no more resin-caked bamboo skewers cleaning out my mouthpiece, no more isopropyl bong water smell, no more acrid tar, and best of all (though not yet, but weeks/months down the road) no more grey and black ash in my spit that's causing the constant inflammation.

I am admittedly nervous because everything I read says that Week 2 is going to have thicker gunk expulsion. But I'm excited to see it because I'll know that literally no ash is accumulating to replace it finally.

Can't promise you this--many, many great vapes are torch powered and/or water filtered--but the mess will be so much less and the effects and flavor so much nicer you won't mind a little waterpipe maintenance. But vaping will definitely help your lungs heal. I have lung issues from smoking cigs most of my life and my overall lung health is so much better than when I smoked. It will take some time but a few weeks/months down the road all the excess mucous will dwindle and you will be past it and feeling much better.

Did you already buy a vape? What did you get?
