Micro-dosing

[Vaked420]

I feel you completely on sticking to dosages that make you feel best. I've been thinking of switching entirely to concentrates though. I prefer the flavor and would rather reward myself at the end of the day with a little dab of terpy goodness. I get into trouble wake n vaking, I always want it, don't always need it. It's almost never that dose that puts me off though, but it starts the chain because once I'm high I like to keep it going and eventually I'll load a dose that puts me into lazy mode. I think all the portable options get me in trouble with being able to medicate any and everywhere. I don't like getting in that cycle of not wanting to go anywhere or meet anyone without being stoned. I read a post on here that really inspired me about how they only keep a home vaporizer, keeps them in an honest check. I do use for medical mental health, but it seems like many treating this diagnosis run the course of a similar path of needing to be more conscious with their levels.

Exactly what I was trying to get at in that the chain reaction of highs that leads to getting lazy is actually my medical benefit. It slows me down to a healthy speed during the day. But when I got access to concentrates portabley is when things got dicey. Now I take the MFLB around with me and if I'm home and ready to have a little more fun I pull out the dab rig or the volcano for some fun time haha. The volcano is actually surprisingly good for heavier micro dosing if that makes sense. I made a really small bag for myself that maybe .05 in the volcano will fill 3 or 4 of and 1 small bag every 15-30 minutes will have me feeling suuuuuper good

Microdosers, do you prefer to ride the wave all the way to shore or top up semi-frequently with continual small doses?

 

[muunch]

Also! Do people plan their doses? I got this thing to try and get some regularity to my dosing, but haven't made a dosing schedule yet.

@muunch , I do have bought a medic planner and have tried it, pretty convenient,
but I tend to prefer to grind (or not!) when I need to. It seems to preserve flavors much better

@invertedisdead My daily driver dose is a Ti VapCap bowl, with the screen at the top position; making it smaller (.01-.02g), and I come back to it when it fade down, like an hour or so. High as a kite. All day.

Depends on what you're doing ! If you are busy, you'll easily forget about it, and just enjoy the flight !
At work and doing repetitive and simple tasks, one bowl makes all the morning !

But seldom; an evening with a good movie on projector, you find me sipping on a .1g bowl with the Herborizer ..

 

[muunch]

I wasn't sure I'd like the idea of pre-grinding all my stuff either, but figure it may be nice when I'm really trying to conserve material or adhere to a strict schedule. I also picked up some outdoor light-dep buds due to budget (or lack thereof) and they don't taste nearly as strong/good as proper indoor.

Who knows. I need to reset my tolerance or at least let it dip a bit before I begin steadily microdosing.

I can still get effects from .025~ but it's not nearly strong enough to be satisfying.


edit:

suppose I could leave a budlet in each chamber and grind as I go. Who knows.
I'll likely try and do an excel sheet when I get around to being a bit more structured in my use.

 

[Joaon]

Just as pure suggestion, as I see you haven't a Dynavap product (yet?), you could use the Ti bowl of VapCap to 'dose' your loads (even for another vaporizer), using it at beginning with bowl at full capacity (around .05 - .07g) and decrease with time;
there is grooves inside where the screen can be moved, at 2/3 and 1/3 capacity.
The 1/3 capacity get me where the full bowl got me few months back



Long time no see @Squiby here..
I'm interested to hear what you think of all of that !

 

[muunch]

I was planning on getting a vapcap at some point, but getting new vapes/accessories I think is what has been fueling my higher-than-normal level of usage lol.

I have a milligram scale I can use if I really desired, but I've been lazy and I also think that weighing every dose before use will take away the fun spontaneity of it. Can't knock what I haven't tried yet though

 

[invertedisdead]

A tiny measuring spoon equivalent to your desired approximate dosage works well with pre ground.

The Vapcap is perfect for microdoseing. I only weighed my load once to take pics and post the info here.

So, I never weigh and never grind. Grinding is a completely unnecessary activity for the Vapcap and no stiring is required either. I just tear a tiny nug from a flower and pop it into the chamber.

Easy peasy and perfect.

 

[muunch]

I was trying not to be as tempted by avoiding @phattpiggie posts and the vapcap thread...

I'll have to wait til the next sale(or try really hard) but yeah I don't think I can avoid getting one haha

I ride the wave. But I am a lightweight supermicro doser.

 

[jwr38]

I been trying to get into microdosing but my flowermate only holds down to 0.05g and sometimes not well. I see people talking about a vapcap and they look very interesting. What is a good one for mircodosing?

I recommend a titanium tipped Vapcap. Below are some details that may help you make your choice.

All Vapcap models are wonderful. Your choice comes down to price, durability and function.

The OG Vapcap is the least expensive and the most fragile. It has a one piece all glass tip/body combination, a glass condenser and soft mouthpiece. People typically try the OG, fall in love and then upgrade to a titanium tipped Vapcap. They go for $35.


The ti tipped Vapcaps have a titanium tip/herb chamber. Inside the chamber are three ridges. This allows for bowl adjustment. The screen can be seated in any of the three ridges to create a bowl size suited to larger or smaller herb loads. I have mine in the middle ridge and can comfortably vape .015 gm loads with room to spare. I don't grind. I just tear off a tiny nug from a bud and pop it in there.

In the pic below of the tips, on the left the screen is seated in the top ridge and the right one is set in the lowest ridge.

The ti tipped Vapcaps are fully modular so you can switch out parts for a different look, different function or durability. They come in four different general configurations. The ti models range in price from $85 - $160.

Ti Vapcap S. This model is 3.5 inches long and has a 45mm long BODY midsection and a mouthpiece. You can choose straight bodies or VonG bodies to accommodate 14mm or 18 mm watertools in a variety of wood, metal or carbon fiber choices.

Ti Vapcap. This This model is 3.5 inches also. It has a 62mm long STEM midsection. There is NO mouthpiece. You can choose straight bodies or VonG bodies to accommodate 14mm watertools in a variety of wood choices.

Ti Vapcap XLS. This model is 4.25 inches long and has a 62mm long STEM midsection and a mouthpiece. You can choose straight bodies or VonG bodies to accommodate 14mm watertools in a variety of wood choices.

Here is a pic of the three basic models side by side. From left to right, Ti Woody S, Ti Woody and the Ti Woody XLS.

The Omnivap. This model is 3.5 inches long and has a 45mm long BODY midsection and a titanium mouthpiece. You can choose straight bodies or VonG bodies to accommodate 14mm or 18 mm watertools in a variety of wood, metal or carbon fiber choices. The Omnivap sports an all metal build (titanium body optional). The condenser threads into the mouthpiece to create an adjustable airflow, set and forget situation. The Omni is a tank, VERY durable and near indestructible.

As I mentioned, I recommend the Ti tipped Vapcaps for both durability and the adjustable bowl. Choose one that appeals to you. The modular aspect means that once you buy your Vapcap, you can interchange different elements to create any of the ti models above. You can switch out mouthpieces, bodies, stems, VonGs and condensers for aesthetic, function, length or just to have some variety.

The Vapcap is not only an incredibly efficient, reliable and beautiful vaporizer, it is LEGO for stoners. It is hard to stop at just one. Ask me how I know....

^ you must micro dose a lot!! with that many vapes... great collection! is it still micro dosing if done all the time!

that was very informative post

..i have OG vapcap
but i still didnt understand how vapcap system works

i was planning to try to find out about it slowly in its dedicated thread

but now i dont have to
saved me lots of time ..thanks for that

the vap cap metal tip kept popping off unexpectedly and I realized my finger was on the carb hole on the side of the glass piece I'd be sitting there and the tip goes flying across the room LOL... with the herb behind it

I can only speak for myself, but I dont like using frequently, no matter how small the doses are. I dont vape until work is over, or on my off days after Ive gotten some stuff done. I like to spend 50% of my waking hours sober. If given the choice between vaping 0.01 every hour or waiting until the end of the day and hitting 0.1, Ill always choose the ladder.

 

[cloudsosmoke]

@C No Ego

i guess thats one way to reduce your consumption

lol

 

[Squiby]

is it still micro dosing if done all the time!

Yes, I think so. I don't toke while high. I always wait a couple of hours between tokes.

I am retired and have some medical issues that have left me with chronic low energy. Toking a nice sativa throughout the day, in tiny doses, gives me the energy to complete the chores I need to do, done, to keep my acerage going.

If I find my tolerance increasing, I deliberately reduce my consumption so that I only vape around .015 gms every few hours during the day.

It sounds like your cap is loose and that you may be blowing instead of sucking...Suck don't blow unless you are blowing out your spent load.

You can adjust your cap by removing it from the Vapcap tip and gently squeezing it slightly out of round. You can squeeze the cap until it fits tightly to your liking.

I would gladly help you work if in your area.. I work a lot of carpentry jobs all around my area as a profession. thanks for the tip ( pun) about the tip..

Hahaha! Thanks for the offer!

I would be surprised if any FCs members were anywhere close to me. I'm on top of a mountain in a very rural part of Canada. There are more wild animals in these parts than people. Well, some of the people could be considered wild animals, but I'm referring to the ones that live outside, in the woods.

@Squiby

Thanks for your post. I am going to pick one up. Cheers.

Well I'm close to the "Gateway to the North" in the Great Canadian Shield , Northern Ontario. Dunno about your neck of woods but here its shovelling everyday ! Country quite vast so

Sorry folks, I got lost thinking I was reading a vapcap info thread here reading the last page of posts so please don't mind my geography session in this post.

I'm fairly new to microdosing (vaporizing too) .

I know I'm under 0.1 , maybe .05-.07 . I Have a Bamboo HI glass core on the way , milli scale and other gadget or twO so I will wishfully make more grounds on microdosing. Might have to consider vapcap later when make more dough. I only discovered recently that halfing my load from .2 to .1 gave me pretty much same results. Thank you to all who share in this thread and the other one on how many bud vaped per session. You folks are all helpful!

If anyone or new vapor friends ahave doubts if micro-dosing works , or if what you read on vaporizers is true , etc. I highly suggest going for it , give it a try for yourself ! you should be quite content of your experiences and choice. There is a slight learning curve when starting to vape yet it's not rocket science and therfor usually (for me anyways ) gets you where you want in a more fun way , experience and results then combustion. Most info I've read so far if not all as been true

Roast em if you got em !

if i don't have anything to do, i like to stay buzzed all day (except during my 2 hour nap). i do .04 to .06 per bag about one bag an hour.

after all this time of doing smallish doses, i'm still surprised at how high i get with just .05 or so. i usually realize how nicely high i am while i'm loading another bag. i need to stop doing that one of these days.

Ya redosing when I'm already content is a big problem for me, especially with certain tools. My concentrate pen is one of them and I find myself taking 3 or 4 hits in a row when I know anything past the first one is just unnecessary tolerance raising and just gives me more negative side effects.
