I smoked a blunt last night...

[SmokingElectricity]

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?

 

[momofthegoons]

It makes me ill. Literally. The taste of the smoke is nasty, IMO. Sort of like back in the days of sneaking cigs. I don't miss it at all. In fact, the last party I was at, I didn't have my LB. When a doob was passed around, I passed. That's never been the case before. God was I pissed I had forgotten my LB!

 

[Nycdeisel]

I, like Mom, also feel literally ill when i combust(which i will now not do anymore!).

I dont feel medicated or high at all, even when i would smoke 2 or 3 times what i would use for a good medicating vape session. It just doesnt work for me, And i get very lethargic and stupid feeling. I literally feel like staring at the wall. now I see its smoke that effects the motivation really.

I get a very heavy and tight pressure in my chest it feels like theres an elephant sitting on me, and my throat feels sore for days, and for days after i have a smoke 'hangover'

All those occasional smokes really helped to open my eyes even wider each time i would return to vaping as usual. Everytime i smoked i would think i never want to do that again! but then i did. but im past that now i no longer have the urge to smoke and if i feel like i do(hell, i KNOW i dont miss that nasty smoke!) i just use a heavier hitting vaporizer until that tiiny craving is satisfied, and even that is not very often

there may have been some things i forgot, i will edit later if i think of anything

I still love my joints

I was off them for a few months until this summer, and started smoking them again when travelling without a portable vape. Still haven't kicked that habit since I got home, and I vape & smoke on a daily bases now...perhaps I should just buy one of those..

At the moment vaping is more a fun hobby, but smoking is again the real & only satisfier for me. Gathering strength for newyears day I guess, but somehow I don't feel very motivated to make the change at the moment. I think I need a new vape to help me fix that

I love vapor more but smoke doesn't affect me badly anymore. High wise its really the same thing to me except vaping is way stronger and minus a certain effect.. When I am mostly vaping it doesnt really take me more to get high from smoke. I usually just have a little snap that provides 2 milky hits or so and I'm good. Not as high as that same amount would have got me in the vape, but I certainly feel content, which is the point. Also my lungs have never FELT worse from smoking than vaping, infact the worst my lungs have ever been was when I was EXCLUSIVELY vaping heavy. I suspect its because of how many more inhales(hits) you actually do compared to smoking. Flavor wise vaping wins but texture wise I prefer a smoke hit, also they are smoother to me and less iritating.

Vapings still over all more enjoyable though IMO. What a long ramble!

 

[SmokingElectricity]

exactly. the amount of herb that was consumed in the blunt could of gotten us superman high all night long in the DBV. days in the zap. felt like such a waste. plus i got nowhere near as high as i do after just a few vapor bongs.

dude was laughing at me when i was setting up my vape gear. like its a huge process/production. dude it took just as long if not longer waiting for you to roll up that blunt sitting in the parking lot at 7-11... none of my friends have caught on to vaporizers, yet they always leave my place barely able to walk. i don't get it. :/

 

[OhTheAgony]

Mine won't even try my vapes, well, two of them did once for just a toke & then dismiss it and light up. Both claiming to be health freaks.

Idgi.

 

[BillieBudd]

Depends on the product..I generally vape all the time and am quite happy with the results regardless of strain, but just picked up some rather nice stuff and while vaping it was great, I tried a little in a pipe and found it extraordinary overall. So I guess I'll combust it in little special times like it was a rare wine...

 

[J.R.R.Tokin']

Ended up trying a doob over Christmas at a friends. The smell of it burning made my mouth drool, there's just something about good herb burning that I miss when vaping. Tried it and it tasted horrible - though it was rolled with tobacco. Had to whip out my LB to cleanse my palette. I wont be doing that again soon, tasted too nasty.

 

[Vicki]

I can't do it. Combustion literally makes me sick.

 

[Stu]

I was at my neighbor's house the other day and he offered me some type of cone he just made. I felt obligated to take a hit but I felt like I was trying a relative's disgusting casserole at Thanksgiving. You have to try it, and are obliged to not say "yuck!" and make a face like . The same way I'd lie to my aunt and make an excuse like "that's sooo delicious... too bad I'm way too full to take another bite" I told my neighbor that I shouldn't smoke anymore as I have to go to a parent/teacher conference or some shit like that. The taste of the cone was disgusting. I can't believe that I spent so many years lighting my precious herb on fire like that.

 

[JDSupreme]

So many years, so much wasted herb. I pass on burning grass thank you.

Fuck, we used to do gravity bong hits involving a polar water bottle with a giant foil bowl with a quarter in it. Blow torch it and someone would go under water, blow out all their air, and come up with their entire head inside the giant yellow smoke filled bottle, take a giant gasp and go back under water and try to make it to the surface without coughing under water. Ya.

 

[AGBeer]

Ugh, I HATE smoking and avoid it if at all possible. I hate to think of my precious bud being destroyed like that. I need ABV!

 

[momatik]

I combusted a fat bowl topped with kief in a bong with a few friends. Really really enjoyed it.

However smoking j's and blunts has been disappointing since switching to vaporizing.

 

[Bluesman]

Even though I exclusively vape these days, I don't see combustion in an entirely negative light. There is something very primal about burnt cannabis that evokes a certain spirituality, a burnt offering of sorts to the Great Spirit. When approached in a sacrimental sort of way and reserved for special occasions, IMO, it may still have a place. I think of that 50.000 year old Shaman they defrosted a few years ago carrying a bunch of herb in a pouch.
But for regular non-Holy Days appreciation of Cannabis, vaporization is definitely the route to go.

 

[moodswing]

i still combust and love the taste of my herbs (most of the time). but despite having smoked a gang of blunts in the distant past, i no longer enjoy them. imo they are harsh and irritate my throat. they also fuck up the taste of the cannabis. i've always wondered about any negative effects of the blunt paper,... seems to me not even cigar smokers are inhaling this stuff.

I mainly vape, but there are rare times, when going out, that I like to prepare a nice old fashioned joint. That's the case if I had a bit of alcohol, it gets the smoking experience way more satisfying.
I don't have lung concerns since I smoked only for 2 years before converting to the FCreligion, I used to smoke mainly bongs at home, joints while out.
There was a point, in my early vaping days, where smoking tasted literally like shit, like eating ashes.
Then that feeling got lesser and lesser, and now I find again smoking to be interesting, once in a while.
So I now vape, but say once in a month, I indulge on smoke again

hah! trip. i gotta admit my first time watching the show, it was hard for me to understand johnny with that accent. but i'm glad i stuck with it cos it definitely turned out to be one of the most original shows. very left field, i love it.

back to combustion... have you guys/gals noticed that not every strain vapes the same? sort of in the same thought that not all strains are created equally, not all strains vape equally. in my experience, i have come accross bud that just doesn't vaporize very well. probably the most recent strain that was like this for me was chemdawg4, which is a shame being one of my favs. i felt like i was wasting it in my vaporizers. but smoking it instead made a world of difference!

Agreed. I will occasionally combust in bongs for that slap in the face/couchlock feeling when i desire it. But the thought of quickly burning through many days worth of my precious goodness all at once out of a paper or wrap makes me cringe nowadays!

 

[djonkoman]

I do both, depending on circumstances. with friebds mostly combustion, a lot of them do love my vaporgenie but I got a lottle tired of having to explain how to use it every time.
also outdoor combuston is more convenient

when watching tv by myself I like to get high slowly, often a lot of time between hits. it doesn't go as fast but I'm relaxing, I have all the time and I just like spacing out my hits, wich I think is one of the big pro's of vaping, it's not burning away while I'm not hitting it.

combustion is for when I don't have that time, but it doesn't last as long. also when by myself, combustion makes me fall asleep/pass put easily, before I started vaping I only got high once(or sometimes twice) a week, I could never watch a stonermovie high because I would always fall asleep halfway trough and miss the end, then watch it again sober to know the ending. when I got my first vape(VG) I became a daily vaporist within 1-2 weeks, because now I finally got that buzz that allowed me to do the same stuff as when sober but with the benefit of feeling high

mixing it works too, when I decide to watch a movie stoned and make it a special night I often mix combustion and vaping, it gives that great vapehigh-baseline with some more combustionpeaks in it

I mostly notice the bad effects of combustion when I'm getting sick/beginning to get a cold. I discovered that about one day before the first effects(clogged/runny nose, headache etc), my throat gets easily irritated and my tolerance is suddenly a lot higher
this day before even vaping gives me a sore throat. but with combustion it's worse, and it also gives me a headache. especially since I also have to smoke greater amounts to achieve an effect.
when I already have a sore throat vaping isn't as pleasant, combustion feels better, it 'burns away' the pain/soreness, but after 15-20 minutes it comes back 10 times worse, while with vaping it stays more steady.

a combusted bowl on a cold winterday outdors does wonders for a clogged nose btw(clogged nose because of cold, not sickness)

Though I definitely don't smoke like back in the day... but if there is a blunt in rotation, count me in! I really do enjoy the process of rolling and for groups they tend to go around for a while. Though, the Solo does too!

haha I gotta admit. the one things I really miss about my "blunt days"

is rolling them!

 

[SunnyInPhilly]

When I smoke, it feels like I'm inhaling from a bonfire. In the past I liked the taste of my smoke; not at all anymore. My friends continue to smoke. I blame the big tobacco companies!

 

[YoGranMazPimp]

I never was a blunt smoker, wheni combusted i used to just smoke bowls. Blunts are such a waste of herb, the dumb flavors mask good tasting strains. Blunts should be reserved for dirt weed, cause you need the massive quanities blunts provide.

As for combustimg, i burned a bowl once with a friend since vaping and was faded, yes...but the expierence wasnt as enjoyable as vaping, tasted like pure burnage. Reminded me why i said fuck combustion.
