MZ/PD Efficiency math goodness

[MileHigh]

I found these boards when I was looking into possibly buying a volcano, and was swayed towards an MZ instead. I just got my medical card today and went to a dispensary for the first time. Among other things I got an eighth of their best (read: most expensive) bud, a very nice purple kush that ran me $75/8th. When I sampled it in my new MZ I thought that it was very good, but probably was not 150% better than something that's $50/8th. So I was having a bit of buyer's remorse over shelling out the extra dough like a sucker. But then I realized I had stopped vaping after four stems, or approximately .1g. That made me think, holy shit - I could get this caned thirty-five times off this eighth. 35! And actually 40 times, because the club does 4g eighths. So $75/40 = $1.88 per four stems. I need three times that amount to get a cup of coffee nowadays. So that made me feel a little better about the economics of the situation.

If anyone is interested in buying one of this style of vaporizer, I had a whip vape (VB) that I used prior to this that hasn't been used since except when I have 3 or more guests, and in most of those cases I roll joints anyway. I didn't get NEARLY the efficiency with that thing as compared to the MZ. I guess maybe some people can/do, I'm just saying I didn't. And I tried pretty hard.

That's some value you're getting yourself there son. I have a feeling i can match that kind of efficiency using an extreme in odd ways, I'm guessing as I have no scales.

I just got my MZ last week and my consumption has dropped to about 1/3 or 1/4th of what it was before, and that is with letting the good times roll more than I would if I were smoking. So glad I found this forum. I've never had a vape before, and am a heavy smoker. Very satisfied with my MZ purchase so far. I will go all day and realize I haven't smoked yet which is amazing to me. Still taking a puff at night to go to bed, but I'm more interested in the efficiency aspects of vaping, so I will probably continue to enjoy them together like this. Actually if I smoke a little bit and then vape to keep up the high, I've found I can get substantially higher and for longer. Keeps up the high that you get with smoking, or perhaps it prevents the come down. Either way, it's good!

Happy Vaping. I appreciate it when people describe their lower usage instead of just saying their usage is reduced. It helps keep it in perspective for those who are still looking into vapes.

Before I got my MZ I was smoking an eighth per week and I would get three sessions per day out of that. Not as many as I would like, but I was trying to conserve herb. That same eighth now lasts me 9-10 days and I'm getting 4-5 sessions per day. I'm getting high more often and using less herb to do it so I couldn't be more pleased.

I may be looking to add a whip vape in the future like the SSV. It would be nice to take fewer but larger hits to get buzzed, although I realize I'll be sacrificing some efficiency.

There has to be some kind of calculation for AVB baking and stuff. I mean lets say you get 40 usages out of an 1/8th. Well then you bake with the AVB and get at least XX more usage. I was so happy when my brownies turned out. It was like taking the cost and cutting it in half.

I wounder how much people save just from coming on here , FC , and reading when they have free time rather then vaping one . I notice myself doing that .

I'm doing that right now. But not for long.
