Trying to vape weed is pissing me off to no end. Help

[cantgetittowork]

So, after 10 years of stopping weed I have decided to medicate with it, instead of pharma carp.

When I used to smoke, I owned a bong pipe etc. I also had a vaporizer, one that plugs into the wall and you vape the weed near a glass heater, so I know what a vape high is like and I actually preferred it, even back then.

I want to vape. I want to be discreet (so no desktop vape) but dont care how it looks if its portable.
First I tried PG/VG 2 week cold did not work, then 1 week boiling, worked a tiny bit but so so weak, waste. I tried other methods, none worked. Got a handheld vape - G pen pro (only one available in store).

It is cooking the weed, but no vape comes out and high is shit, bit stronger than the vg/pg. I tried every night to get it to vape and feel something, then one night this thing started vaping. I was blowing out actual vapor, I took like 3 nice long draws of vapor and got worried if this time it will work and I may get too high, so I stopped vaping. Boy oh boy, did I get blasted to space. In 5 minutes flat jaw got numb, my feet got numb, I had rushing and nonstop racing heart. It was amazing. 10 year no tolerance amazing

I then tried the next day. All same bud all same shit, back to not vaping but still burning the weed...I have been trying all sorts of methods, like pressing it down tight, or letting it sit very softly in the trench. Nothing same thing. I can not repeat that vaping session no matter how hard I try. I know vaping works, that is a fact.

Can someone help me out?

Dynavap!

Well, it sounds like you need a decent vape.

The G-Pen is supposed to be garbage. So, It sounds like you're having a normal G-Pen experience.

@cantgetittowork welcome to FC. Sorry you are having trouble.

Where are locate? Legal state? Medical State? Outside the USA?

A very simple to work vape that everyone who owns one suggests is the Fury by @HealthyRips.com. I have never tried one, as I already have too many vapes and too little cash. https://www.healthyrips.com/store/p22/FURY_2_Vaporizer_&_Glass_Bundle.html

Good Luck and please report back with your new vape experiences.

Grenco products are known to be low quality products which can even be bad for your health as they use low quality materials and the internals may begin to melt causing you to inhale toxic fumes.
So my advice is to do yourself a favor as hard as it may sound and get rid of the gpen asap. Take a little more money and buy a quality vaporizer. You have decide if you want a butane or electrical unit. Solid Bután options start at 50$ with the vapcap. Battery ones are available around 100$.
My daily driver are the vapcap m and a tubo evic, you may take a look at those ones too.

G pen pro (only one available in store).

I would not buy G-Pen (its G, for Garbage) even if it was the last available vaporizer in the world...

Cheers guys. I love this site by the way, whilst I was experimenting with different types of styles, this website became my staple for information. I just did not know about this garbage-pen being so shit.

Had a look at dynavape, I do not want one to light myself. I want it electronic. I have my trusty kanga mod and I am looking for a cheap 510 or ego attachment now. I can not afford another vaporizer for a while and I can not return this, as I never knew it was so shit and kept on trying to use it for a while.

I will report back.

keep an eye on Fury 2 portable vape... get the glass WPA with it and a good bubbler to vape through and you will be set

 

[macbill]

I have my trusty kanga mod

Use the Kanga mod for concentrate (ceramic cart), or dial in an oil cart. For better taste, get a dedicated flower vaporizer. Want it portable? Want it to be able to serve more than 2 people? Want super-huge hits? Whatever. There is a flower vape with your name on it. Soon, all your discretionary income will be utilized for new vapes. Welcome! Welcome to the World of "Vaporizer Acquisition Syndrome" or VAS. You can get in, but you can never leave.

Watch the Vape Critic's youtube videos and check out his website, he reviews 90% of the top vaporisers; that should help for anyone confused about what the leading vapes are. Apart from his conflict of interest with the Ghost MV1, I feel his opinion is pretty good to go buy.

I think the Dynavap is a great entry level vape because of it cheap price (the cheapest if you can get an M), but also because people (such as myself) use their Dynavap over the more expensive vapes they own. I would say though for me their was a small learning curve with the Dynavap as I kept charring my load for about a week, but it was worth it cos now its my go to vape, a whole new experience! I think it is safe to say that there are not any vapes in the same price range as the dynvap that are worth your time, maybe the MFLB but thats old news.

If you want a totally fool proof vape at the other end of the price spectrum, that allows for exact temperature control, on the go, Id look at the Mighty.

I recommend these vapes because I have them and I know they work very well and you should have no problem with either.

Good luck!

I wouldn't be so shure that is safe to say:
Vaponic
VaporGenie
Dreamwood Roasty + DLX / Sticky Bricks
Vapman...
all decent vapes, some even cheaper
But it is hard to find nowadays another vape that is worse than the G Pen , i'm wondering why that thing is still on the market tbh...

Very true, those are all respected vapes in that price range, although I haven't tried any of those myself. On the other hand the Dynavap has Click Tech! haha

Edit: I prefer my Dynavap over my Lotus, which is also a similar price range and also butane powered.

you can get a flowermate 5.0 from puffitup for ike 79 dollars and it will be amazing with your low tolerance. Good clouds, safe product. It's not TOP TOP SHELF, but for your use it should fill the role perfectly. Especially with how medicated you got when your vape worked, this would be like that every single time x10.

I still have 4 electric vapes around. All ones consensus recommended by the forums here. I only ever use my VapeCaps with a PortSide electric heater.

for the most part, 510 herb attachments are no bueno. you should take a second look at the vapcap.

So I researched to the point of giving up. Went to the shop to have another look around, and saw the PAX 3. I remembered seeing good reviews about that by some youtubers and a few forums.

Bit the bullet (was hard to bite). I used it, and it did the same thing as the fkn GPen. No vapor. The GPen I had experimented every single way of packing a trench known to man, this happened with the PAX on the first go.

I then looked it up and worked out the weed has to be pushed in for it to work (screen or fill the trench, I basically just put in like .02, you could still see the metal bottom lol).

Anyway after that, three puffs, entered space. It is now working as intended. Literally three or four long puffs and I am absolutely smashed off my head thinking (fuck this is too intoxicating for medicating with in my stoner head), then in a few hours I come down to where I feel normal and sober and think that was fucking amazing.

It is so different to smoking. The intensity is similar, but the comedown is clean as fuck, I get no paranoia or panic, even during the intense phase. It just feels like shots of strong alcohol at once. I was looking at a picture and the flag in the background looked like it was swirling in the wind and the people where actually live on screen just not moving. I just wish it would help with sleep the way smoking does.

Amazing. The PAX 3 also lights up so quick, almost like my ecig. It is ready literally before I put anything away ready to smoke and the battery life is amazing.

Thanks for your responses guys. Our shops here do not have variety and I cant be arsed ordering online due to sending electronics back.

Higher temps = sleepier but also typically means stronger. Being too stoned denies sleep in my experience. Find a good balance. You'll be sleeping in no time. Enjoy your vape, glad it works for you, and good luck solving whatever needs to be solved with herb

 

[dynospec]

Glad your Pax3 is working well for you, I do believe that perhaps the herb you have currently could be whats making sleep difficult, or at least isnt helping perhaps. I find if I vape a indica, or indica dominant hybrid in the evening it certainly helps me get relaxed and sleepy, and also helps with the quality of sleep I get I find.

Ive always found that certain strains will stimulate my mind, and these I avoid in the evening; if its all I have I will try to dose a little heavier, and earlier than usual as even when a strong sativa buzz wears off, I get the classic burnout feeling (as long as I went up high enough, Ill come back down far enough )

 

[CuckFumbustion]

I'd get a vapcap M as an off the grid to fall back on. No batteries or electronics required. (Or get a vapcap that suits you. ) Then shop around for what you want. Is that short and blunt enough? Maybe even a Dynavap flash sale this Thursday?

Electronic vapes offer more control. But so many +/- 's. to consider. Flowermate for budget. S&B for top shelf performance. Arizer, Pax and others mid tier choices that can be narrowed down to what you would prefer.
Desktop vapes offer more power. So more design can be geared toward performance, function, and materials used. I try to go with vapes that have been in the market over time and can offer a warranty through say an authorized dealer. Like say Puffitup.
There are some good choices being offered here. I'd read about 10 pages of any thread relating to any vape that might interest you as a rule of thumb. And ask questions there as well. Happy hunting!!

 

[cantgetittowork]

The Pax3 is my sweetheart's go to vape. I think the Pax3 is a fine vape especially with the fast heat up time...wow! Did you get one with the matte finish? The best finish yet of the pax line imo.

Congrats!

I got the one with the silver finish. The warm up time is really something and one of the best features imo. It was just what I was after.

To the poster who said I am going to get vape buying addicted, desktop glass vape, I had a cartomizer small vape, a box mod that stopped working, a kanga mod, Gpen, Pax 3...that is 6 vaporizes, 7 if you count the lightbulb vape I made when I was a young dumbass

Hey now...a lightbulb vape was my first vaporizer! :-)

There's a soft-spot in my heart for old-school lightbulb vapes.
