I smoked a blunt last night...

[Nosferatu]

Keep in mind everyone's idea of smoking is a little different too. If I smoke I only take it to black and try not to let any turn grey or white because that means you ashed it. I would also mix between hits and only pack small amounts that are broken/ground up, taking a maximum of 2 or 3 hits per bowl. You can "smoke"a bowl this way or you can apply a bic to it and burn it too ash and certainly produce a harsh smoky hit.

I personally like rolling up, preferrably with RAW or Bob Marley papers, when im on the go or at a party. This way if im outside walking around and some cops or people come, I put it out on the bottom of my shoe and either hide or flick it farrrr away. I would be blown as hell if I had a NO2 or my ol' MFLB I sold be taken away from me and getting charged against me for it.I don't mind smoking a sick scientific bong at my friends either since I wouldn't want to bring my stationary vape over (prieviously my EQ, buying a herbalaire soon). But for all intents and purposes I love vaping and would choose vaping over combustion any fucking day. I never really liked combustion all that much and it wastes so much piff compared to vaping and with abv remains I can use for baking. so basically...fuck combustion

I hate blunts.. my friends love them. Kingsize Zig-Zags and Elements are all I use!

Nosferatu, what do you mean by white vs. black ash?

 

[vapirtoo]

My connect had some j's rolled from some esoteric super fine rolling paper. I took two
hits and gave it back to him.
The whole burning inhalation effect was annoying, but the high was OK.
Not something I would look foward to repeating. FUCK COMBUSTION !!

I also find blunts to be nasty and have never smoked one.

When I was into smoking before I got a vaporizer I would smoke out of bongs, one hitters, pipes, and joints.

I used to roll with Raw kingsize non-hemp before switching to vaping after I joined FC about a month ago. Those are for sure the best/healthiest papers I know of. I smoked blunts (bluntwraps, swisher sweets, ez rolls) for about 3 years then I smoked with beeline out of waterpipes for a long time. I think vaporizing is much more efficient and thats why I like it more.

If you run smoke through enough water chambers it can become kind of like a vapor. I had a seven water chamber piece I burned through for a while. I have yet to vapor bong (waiting on the HI for that) but I really want to get my lungs better. They definitely have improved since switching in the past month but theres still much room to improve.

From a medical standpoint you are abusing the respiratory system when you inhale smoke especially unfiltered or with paper/tobacco is the true fact so it is best to limit this. Tobacco's radioactivity is the main danger (the mass produced tobaccos have it). Could an organic/natural tobacco in vaporizing be medicinal? I doubt it because nicotine is not medicine. From wiki "Nicotine has been noted to directly cause cancer through a number of different mechanisms". On the otherhand native indians in all parts of the world have been smoking traditionally for thousands of years likely. You can see it from either perspective.

I haven't smoked anything, since I got my Launch Box. I've been curious a couple times, wanting to experience a joint or a good single-hitter bong load. Just for nostalgia's sake. The urge, just isn't that strong. Wouldn't be surprised if I don't ever combust any more MJ.

 

[Bouldorado]

I'm mostly a social smoker now. Pretty much the only time I smoke out of glass (bong, spoon) is at friends' houses. Combusting out of glass, I must say, is much less enjoyable since I discovered the wonder of vapor-bonging. The taste and cleanliness of vapor is simply incomparable to smoke. I've never rolled a personal blunt (and never will) but if given an offer to smoke one, I'll usually join in. Joints, interestingly, have become more enjoyable to smoke. I don't smoke ciggs, but I like the ritual of smoking, as well as the different taste/texture/temperature of joint smoke.

My cousin came to visit from california for the holidays, last night he busts out a a dutchmaster and asked if I wanted to smoke. I was a bit hesitant, but at the same time didn't want to be rude. To be honest...

It wasn't that bad. :/

Sometimes I miss that kick to the chest that combustion gives. In the end though, it really didn't get me that high, not like vaporizers do... We went back to my place after and did a couple bong rips with my myrtlezap. The high was like night and day. I was trying to explain to my cousin that the buds he rolled up in that blunt, could have gotten both of us high for days in the zap.

To all the strictly vapor heads, how does combustion effect you today?

Combustion makes me paranoid, anti-social, clouds up my mind, and makes me an unmotivated couch potato. I find vapor (for me) eliminates all of these unnecessary side effects. Combustion also makes my ADD much worse, while vaporizing actually aids some symptoms I find. TBH I pretty much hate combustion now, it's effects on the mind and body are gross when compared to vapor. The flavor is decent but not as good as dank kush vapor. On the other hand, the looks of a blunt burning slowly blows a vaporizer out of the water. Also playing with smoke, french inhaling, blowing O's is fun, but most vapes can also produce vapor close enough to do the same. But ultimately, looks aren't everything, effects are what I'm after, and that is why I choose vaporization. Although smoking can be nice once in a while, I never do it alone, always with friends, if I choose to, which usually I don't. It's fun for scary movies and video games, but even then I usually prefer vapor whenever I game for honing maximum concentration and skill, lol. Vaping is more euphoric, well atleast in terms of cannabis euphoria, as opposed to smoking. This is my personal experience, and not everyone will agree with me on this, so don't flame (pun unintended) if you think otherwise. I haven't burned herb in probably a year or so, and honestly I don't miss a single thing about it.

I vape bud, as combusting it ALWAYS chokes/gags me, which is ironic considering I'm a heavy cigarette smoker. And I prefer the difference vaping makes with both stretching out my supply, and the flavor along with the effect it offers.

However, when it comes to import hash's... my preference is to roll a twisty and spark that sucka !! Whether its the longtime ritual, the flavor, or the effect, I just don't see myself using it any other way (and I have tried... trust me), to satisfy me like it does.

/agree, I find hash must be smoked to get the most out of it, although I haven't attempted vaping it. Just seems like it would waste a LOT of the cannabinoids hash is heavily concentrated with. But I would have tried by now, unfortunately since I switched to vaping, I haven't come across any hash.

And cigarette smoke is much different, most people don't ever choke on cigarette smoke, it's not harsh typically, burns better, has a filter to prevent over-inhalation (among other things), and doesn't have to be held in long for effect. Most people take huge drags from joints in comparison with cigarettes, cigarette puffs tend to be shorter and with less intensity. The duration of smoke held in lungs is much shorter with cigarettes, which makes it easier to withstand while inhaled. Sometimes I can inhale a large hit of chronic and be fine for the first 10 seconds, then can't handle the smoke anymore and end up coughing up a lung, which would never happen from tobacco smoke. Also, I'm sure in the 3000+ chemicals added to tobacco, there must be some to help smoothness as well as keeping leaves fresh and not dry, something that makes weed smoke harsher if the bud is dried. When I did smoke socially during school, I never coughed like I would a hit of green, although once I got used to it, I rarely choked at all unless it was bong rips (for obvious reasons). It seems like you must also adjust to the harshness of weed smoke in comparison to tobacco, where as the first time you smoke a cig, you'll be able to get through it somewhat easily (if you don't get sick like some), your first joint on the other hand will pose some bigger problems.

 

[djonkoman]

that about most people not choking on tobaccosmoke, tell that to my lungs
I remember one time some friends offered me a cig and said it was a joint, I took a puff and, to their surprise, went into a coughing fit.
pure joints I can take big hits from without coughing, same for bongs, gravity bongs etc as long as it's pure weed without tobacco. but if you add tobacco I have to take smaller hits, and pure tobacco will send me coughing(altough it's very long ago I smoked ure tobacco, only once on purpose and all other times fooled by friends who said it was a joint, total times is still under 10 tough)

but my first joint also send me into a bad coughing fit, but that was a joint with tobacco, and I never smoked anything before(well except cardboard when I was 6 or so), so I just sucked on it as hard as I could as long as I could as if it where a straw, then immediatly coughed up all that smoke. a friend said later that I smoked almost half the joint in that single hit

 

[Cole420]

Hahah cardboard? Thats comical. I guess it's just a matter of personal preference then, and maybe the lungs have their preference as well. Seems some enjoy big rips of green while others can't handle it, and some can smoke cig's like a chimney while others may hack up their own lungs

 

[djonkoman]

yes I was young and stupid
I would often platy woth the neighboorkid, and in summer we would often build a campfire in their backyard. and we would use cardboard or newspapers to get it going, so one time we rolled a piece of cardboard into a roll(with a lot of air in between, roll was 10-20 cm in width I guess and 50-100 cm long or so), we lit the end on fire in the campfire and inhaled the smoke from the other end, I only remember it hurt pretty bad

 

[Jeppy]

Once I started vaping,,,,I never looked back. I don't smoke anything anymore.

 

[Carbon]

2nd that. Every time I combust now I immediately regret it. I've all but quit entirely.

 

[Nycdeisel]

Ive done the back n forth thing. Smoking rarely when i have been pretty much only vaping for a while, i really regret it after I would smoke. And NOW I fiinally will not smoke anymore. I know the risk is more then any benefit.
