How often do you combust?

[yolky]

Just as the subject says...

Do you guys ever hit the bong at all anymore? If so, how often? How long is the adjustment period from going from combustion to vapes, and does everyone experience this adjustment? I find I need to consume more herbs by vaping to feel the same satisfaction as I am used to as I am combusting from a bong.

 

[sour]

No more smoke for me. It took me a little bit to adjust to vapor only, with vapor I think we get mainly THC instead of the full spectrum of cannabinoids. This leads to one of the factors of smoke and vapor highs feeling different. I could be wrong I'm a Padwan vaporist and don't yet know the full power of the Jedi. Maybe a Jedi can step in and elaborate on this.

i more or less get a craving for smoking. sometimes the vape high just doesnt satisfy me. on average its about 1 or 2 times a month. unless if im around friends or on the go with friends, when vaping just isnt and option, and we all know how hard it is to turn down taking a hit

 

[finchrock24]

Eh...sometimes but not a whole lot...ever since I started vaping i haven't looked back. Its superior in every way in my opinion. The highs are much more enjoyable to me and the obvious taste and conservations aspect are an added plus.

And my Q is really nifty. Way better then any piece of glass!

I never smoke, unless I am in a social situation and it's not my herb. I combusted at a party about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and did not miss the "full" combustion high at all. In fact, I think the full high gets me very anxious, and does a number on my nerves now. I stick with vapor, and much, much prefer it over smoking. So much smoother in every way.

I only started vaping as my main way of consumption about a month ago. I was really surprised that I was repulsed by the taste/smell of smoke right away after starting. I've been combusting herb for 43 years so you'd think I would miss it. I will say, in the beginning, there was a definite adjustment period and I was going through much more herb than I do now. The buzz wasn't as intense and I kept trying to "get there." I also would try combusting occasionally since I wasn't feeling the buzz as intensely as I thought I should. But as I said, right away, the taste was nasty.

I don't think I'm at the point yet where, if in a social situation there was no vape, i would turn down a hit. But I think the time is not far off. This truly amazes me. And since I haven't put it to the test, i might be there. Who'd of thought!?!

Daily... kind of why I haven't been around as much. I dont have a vape anymore (trying to pick up a VHW, hard when I spend all my money on glass ) but I still vape oil... But I still smoke cigarettes and that probably plays a huge role me combusting. I love to ingest THC any way I can, lol

 

[Vicki]

I never smoke anymore.

 

[SmogTown]

I mostly vape now. Only time I smoke my own is if I get a strain that doesn't vape well. Other than that I vape.

 

[Lo]

Haven't combusted since Oct or Nov I think. I can't imagine going back now. Last time I tried it tasted nasty! I'm totally converted!

I quit smoking cigs using the e-cig first and think that helped me ditch combustion for good.

 

[DevoTheStrange]

About once every two to three months, and each time I hate what it does to my lungs. You would think I never smoked before by the way I cough.

 

[caseball2051]

like mostly everyone else that responded, only in social settings.

ALTHOUGH, when my myrtlezap was on order I saved a special stash to use with it. I didnt want to break into it so i did combust keif bowls in my bong. it was very harsh. but i was stoned.

 

[Lo]

Wowee!! Just checked my concert ticket stub and found I haven't officially combusted since August 28th. Holy shit! How time flies

 

[steiner666]

I switched to vaporization when i got my DBV back at the beginning of december last year. I've only combusted once since then, and that was about a month ago. My g/f and i went to the bar the night i got my LB so i brought it along but didnt have time to fully charge the batteries and didnt grind my herb up enough so it wasn't really performing as it should. A relative of hers was at teh bar and my g/f forced me to go with him and his friend and smoke a joint.

It was horrible, all i could taste was the paper and i didnt even get high. But it did sorta serve to reconfirm my decision to never combust again.

 

[edamame]

I <3 my Roor, so I use it a few times a week. Moved recently so I don't have a "permanent" place for my vape yet, maybe when I get that mancave set up...

 

[lwien]

I'll combust anytime I have some Qwiso to consume and also do it just for the hell of it every once in awhile. No more than 2 or 3 times a month at most.

 

[yolky]

Thanks for all of your replies. I find myself most similar to user: Momofthegoons...

Currently I use a VHW as my primary vape unit with my RooR. As far as vapes go, I love the VHW as I can use it with my 'water pipe'. However I find that I have to pack lets say... twice the amount I would need to "get there" as I would for combustion. I absolutely love the taste and cleaness of the vape, I just find it frustrating that I need to pack more, again, to "get there". For whatever reason, I'm thinking about getting a Purple Dayz vape, I hear its very conservative with medicine and works well?

You know, I have found I prefer combusting Qwiso over herb any day, not as harsh. I just can't handle the harshness from herb anymore, not even the good stuff... no matter how good it tastes.

thats really unusual that you have to vape more than you need to smoke to get stoned. Maybe you're looking for different effect than me, but I find the opposite to be true if anything. Then again, i squeeze my buds to the last drop. How fine do you grind your herb and whats the abv look like? I think a lot of ppl dont vape stuff for as long as they can and that gives the impression that it's not as efficient.

I grind stuff in my 4 piece and get it to... seed-sized bits and vape it, stirring between every hit and i get about 5-6 hits. Then I dump the bowl into a 2 piece and grind it down to what i'd compare to big salt size (like the salt on soft pretzels) and get a few more hits. Since my LB has a finer screen, if i'm using it i'll take the flat end of the battery and crush the abv against my desk till its powdery and get usually 2 more solid hits. If i take one bowl and put it through all of these stages then i'm nice and stoned in teh end. Sometimes, if i'm lazy or just want a nice clean green THC buzz throughout the day, i just wait until i have a bunch of chunky abv and then i'll grind it finer and vape a couple bowls of that, but i've stopped doing that so much because you get a different ratio of active ingredients in fresh green than the partially vaped abv, and i think getting the full spectrum in one sitting is the best way for ppl to get a high comparable to what smoking gives you, since it gives you everything at once...

.. in addition to the disgusting flavor of ash and combustion byproducts. Tried not to, but i had to add that lol. anyways just my

Yolky, I don't know how long you've been using herb, but I'm going on 44 years. I think I just got so used to the high you get from that and the full tokes. A vaped high was so different. No couch lock for one thing. I've found that different vapes give me different buzzes. Of course, strain would be a factor too. The Hot Box I've borrowed gives me huge hits and I can use kief which really tops off a buzz nicely. My MFLB gives me what I call a "morning buzz." I don't know that I would use it for my main vape but it is a great thing for that last buzz in bed, for long car or boat rides, etc. I've ordered a Purple Days and a MyrtleZap. I will probably order another of something. It's addictive, and as I said, I think different vapes give different levels of buzz. Or maybe they do it faster? Not sure yet. Give me another 44 years of practice.

 

[AGBeer]

I dont combust anymore either. I tried it once at a buddies house when thats all there was and it was not pleasurable for me. Ive owned a few vapes and have pretty much given/traded them to my buddies with the exception of my Zap. Its more than just not combusting for me - its about sharing this wonderful gift with others who still burn. (And waste IMO)

 

[audiodelic]

I have barely smoked once that too with buddies at a party since i got da buddha. Especially because we roll hash with tobacco and i hate smoking tobacco. Pure hash in da buddha with timely stirring and crushing is giving me huge clouds of vapor from the smallest bowls. Not to mention the taste, by products, couch locked high and the dependence on tobacco that i would develop by combusting.... vape all the way smoking is so yesterday

[steiner666]

yeah my friends have all tried and loved my vapes, but only a couple forked over the money for their own, but they DID end up becoming pure vapor users like me after they did. In some ways I want to spread the "good news" as much and as fast as possible so that ppl can start enjoying weed the way it should be...

... but another side of me doesnt want anyone else to know about vaporizing so that they keep buying more herb faster, and so that narcs and other undesirable ppl aren't made to be more familiar with vaporization. I like cops/coworkers/bosses being ignorant, thinking that in order for someone to get stoned they have to be blowing around stinky clouds of smoke.

Yeah, me too. I don't get the anxious feling with vaping that I can get with combustion. I wouldn't say that I never combust anymore, but it is once every few months at most, and only when vaping is not an option.
