When I first got into vaping, my initial thought was that I would need to vape more cannabis, to maintain the same psychoactive effect, so every time i vaped, I turned the heat as high as it could go, and tried ripping down as hard as I could. I then started researching and found lots of other ideas such as inhaling the vape for a certain number of seconds. There are lots of varied techniques to try.
After a couple of months of obsessive vaping, a voice in my head asked, "are you enjoying this?". The answer to the question was "No"; I was not enjoying obsessively vaping chasing the dragon. My decision was to take a break.
Things have changed now. When I want to vape, I vape. No one is saying how often and for now "when I want to" means a couple of times a day. That could be 2 times a day, or it could 6; I just relax. I treat it more like a cup of coffee. What is also different is having the first bowl at about 320, before turning it to 380. I haven't gone higher than 380 since my break.
I don't think about how I draw. Sometimes I just puff like a cigar or pipe. Sometimes I inhale like a cigarette, or sometimes I will have a very long deep draw. The point is that, I just do whatever feels natural and instinctive; I don't think. When I vape now it's a ritual, not an attempt to feel some psychoactive effects. Strange thins is, is that this more relaxed approach has some pretty effects that I never really explored before when I was so consumed with 'Chasing the dragon'.
A few minutes ago, I packed my Starry and ran one 4 minute session on 320. I tuned the heat to 380, and ran a second session at 380. Immediately, I started another , and got a few more puffs. The flavour was gone, and I turned it off.
I started writing this as soon as I was done vaping. I do not feel 'stoned', nor do I feel greatly intoxicated or medicated. I do feel tingles, and my legs feel something. I kind of get restless legs when I consume cannabis, but it isn't unpleasant. I find that my feet and legs just like to move.
So here is the question - "What's your style"? Do you use any specific way you inhale or use your vape? Are you a ripper or a sipper?

Not scratchy 'cause the tiny plant particles are mostly filtered out by the bag and the water, and the lukerwarm water make the air more moist. And by having big draws, it means more taste when expelling.
