I'm a bad Vaporist, how about you?

[Ramahs]

I dunno. I feel a little bad because I have relapsed a little lately.

I love my vaporizers, dab rigs, etc. And I've barely ever combusted the last several years or more. However, in the last couple of years I have been doing more outdoor, nature activities (hiking, camping, fishing, kayaking), and for some reason in the last year or so, I just feel more like smoking sometimes when I'm way out in nature. I often take a joint, blunt, or pipe for my hike up/down the mountain, wade through the river fishing, or while paddling my kayak.

I dunno, though I prefer vaporizing 95% of the time, smoking just feels right sometimes when out in nature.

It's stupid, I know. Do I need to repent?

No and no.

You just need a Vapman.

 

[Ramahs]

No and no.

You just need a Vapman.

I have one, and a Lotus as well (both good outdoor vapes).
I feel like my Sticky Brick would fall into that category as well.

No drama, everyone is free to do as they please.

You make a good point, but sometimes a hash spliff is an itch I have to scratch. And it's always about being in nature for me: I never want to smoke inside or in built up areas. The Vapman is the next best thing though, 100% agree

Whatever gets you thru the night
It's alright, it's alright

Light it up if you feel like it?

 

[Grass Yes]

Yeah I'm with everyone else here. I personally don't ever smoke anymore because I don't like it after vaping. But I would never suggest that is the right thing for everyone.

I would find it annoying if people were telling me I needed to smoke, or eat edibles, so similarly I don't evangelize vaping.

 

[oddjobold]

You do you. Who is anyone to tell you what to do with your body.

But dont pass me that shit, i would rather obstain than smoke.

 

[florduh]

I just don't like the taste. But I do like the taste of things most people hate (like hoppy IPA's) so I'd never hate on anyone for liking something I don't

I’d never willingly smoke again since it tastes, feels and smells terrible to me, but as long as we’re outside (or in someone else’s house) I wouldn’t prevent anyone from lighting themselves a bowl/joint. I’d force someone staying with me to not smoke inside, but I’d either offer them a vape or to go on a walk with them as an alternative.

Usually when my friends are smoking I will have brought my vape, so I’d probably just offer them a toke/trade tokes, but would probably only take one. I have fond memories of smoking, but it’s mostly just the camaraderie associated with passing the bowl.

By the way, accidentally combusting in a vaporizer tastes tenfolds worse than intentional combusting with a lighter. It's horrid.

 

[Radwin Bodnic]

like hoppy IPA's

I love hoppy IPA´s

Surprisingly enough I love the smell of burning weed. Like a heady incense. But I don't inhale incense, neither I smoke weed anymore.

 

[Cheebsy]

Gimme those happy IPAs ! I love a west coast with a strong bitterness bite!

I can't condone smoking, but I absolutely appreciate others desires to. My eldest smokes a bong, he is more than welcome to smoke in my conservatory that is easily aired out after! It just smells and tastes like shit to me now. I just don't like him putting the heater on when it's cold! That's my electricity!

I do still miss sharing a joint with my other half, and so does she!

Not too surprised, I’ve met a number of folks who enjoy or find the smell of burning cannabis soothing. I’m VERY sensitive to certain strong smells though so most smoke bothers me more than most other people I know.

Lately I've been dabbing much more myself, maybe not as much of a bad vaporist situation, but I feel neglectful! It can just be cleaner and simpler, quicker and easier, while I have so much nice heady glass to enjoy nice quality dabs with... The other aspect is less time at home, compared to pandemic days, but also have not had reliably good herbs locally in so long unfortunately (but going to try again)

But you're still vaping the material well unless you're doing hot dabs

I always find it funny how dabbers obsess about the temp to dab at to preserve terps but then light up a joint

 

[Shit Snacks]

Yeah so much better with the temperature reading now, I don't like cold start dabbing, I really like hot start with the knots especially

Yeah there is something about joints for people, last time I tried years ago was so bad, I'll never bother again lol waste of weed imo (technically it is vaping + smoke lol)

Not sure what you mean. Dabbing IS vaporizing.

Possibly repeating myself from another thread or forum but...

When I first started vaping (7 years ago-ish) I found it less satisfying than a joint. That first year I rolled up a fat bifta for christmas day as a "treat".

Looked forward to it for ages... but when the day arrived and I sparked it... Fuck me, I couldn't smoke the thing. It tasted like shit and my mouth felt rotten all day afterwards. I literally lobbed it out of the window (which I know is not good behaviour - and a waste of weed - but such was my state of shock).

Was surprised, because I had smoked (tobacco and weed) for 30 odd years before turning to vaping. But now I could never go back.

Yeah. I pretty much stopped smoking all together sometime early in 2017, and have only used my vapes since then. And about once every couple years I would be passed a joint or blunt or a pipe when with friends, and I hated the taste of smoke after not inhaling it for so long. I usually threw it away as well when by myself, and remembered the experience as a reminder of why I vape.

But in the last several months to a year, I find myself enjoying smoking when I'm out away from society/people out in nature by myself. Something feeling primal about the experience that I am starting to enjoy occasionally. It's a waste, because it takes 5x the flower to get high...but for some reason it sometimes seems to scratch an itch I can't explain.

 

[unberlinable]

You can enjoy both of course. I get the urge sometimes too, but smoking is really bad for my sinuses so I stick with vaping. Dynavap M is the one that feels the closest to smoking to me, especially if I go a bit harder with the heating.

 

[bizwaxzion]

I've enjoyed cannabis in all forms for more than 40 years. I ventured into vaping mainly due to flavor expressions that don't exist for me when smoking. With law changes and grown up kids I've been growing a lot and making bubble hash which has led me back to some amount of combustion. I find vaping hash a bit more finicky and the simplicity of combustion just fits better for me. I say do what you like and be happy with it.

Was 20ish years for me with baccy and weed and I couldn't go back. Not only the taste but I can feel the carbon monoxide poisoning taking away my breath the last time I tried a joint, never going back.

 

[Shit Snacks]

Haha like I said, I just feel neglectful of the actual vaporizing herbs that this forum was built on, I mean I only started dabbing in the latter half of my total vaping time spent, and much more much more recently, but it does feel different and make me feel like I'm a bad vaporist in the traditional herbal sense that it used to always be here lol It's funny how the worlds seem so separate and then blend once you put your foot in them all, but yeah fully out of the smoking world! Trying not to judge, just wanted to participate
