Vaping doesn't get my high (aka "How much do you vape?")

[koggit]

I have a standard whip vape & I've been using it for about 2 weeks and I just don't seem to get as high as I do out of pipe. I don't think it's just the body high I'm missing, I don't think the mental high is as good, because when I watch Xavier Renegade Angel after vaping it's not as funny as it is after smoking.

I have 4 other roommates so I'm almost always vaporizing in big groups. I posted a thread a week or two ago about perhaps getting the Purple Days to supplement my VaporBrothers, because I felt as though passing the whip around a big group wasn't working well (so I was thinking one person could Purple-Days, then one person less is using the VaporBrothers, everyone wins).

But now I think perhaps we're just not using enough herb. My roommates only take about 10 hits or so, which is only about 0.05g. At that point we've been passing the whip around a long time and they feel they've used enough... but I don't think they have.

Last night me & a friend tried using it one at a time, I ground up 0.3g and we split it, I loaded half and spent about 15 minutes taking about 20 hits from the 0.15g, then he did the same, and we didn't get very high at all. The vaped stuff was pretty brown afterward, and it's good herb, some good Dutch Treat, I get a lot of visible vapor from it, it even makes me cough a lot (I cough easily from mj) so I don't really understand why we're not getting high much.


I don't mind using more herb, but it takes forever. If we each vaped two 0.15g bowls, that'd probably take about 30 minutes per person, which just doesn't work well at all with 5 people... and who wants to spend 30 minutes getting high when it only lasts about 2 hours?

Should I be packing bigger bowls? Does it sound like I'm doing other things right? Any suggestions for time-efficient group sessions would be welcome... also, I asked elsewhere but couldn't get an answer: do DaBuddha whips hold more per bowl, and if so, would they fit my vaporizer?

Maybe you should try a 2 week tolerance break? See what that does?

 

[koggit]

I've been smoking for less than a month though.. I had mj for the first time around the first week of July

I am a long-time smoker with moderate tolerance and I get BLITZED vaping .15 bowls in my whip or bong. You said you're getting big visible hits, and your AVB is nicely browned, so it does seem like you guys are doing it right. Perhaps it's a set & setting type issue?

I agree with digglover - take a 2 week T-break to get the old CB1 receptors in order, then maybe try getting high in a different setting than you're used to. Even though you're new to weed, you can still build a tolerance fairly quickly, and if you have certain expectations about what the high should be like, they can greatly influence how you perceive and experience the high!

Also, if you've been vaping the same strain, try changing it up. Indica to Sativa or visa versa.

 

[bluntfaced]

are you vaping enough bud?? It takes a while longer to get high with a vape it's a slower process.

 

[itsgeorge]

Man can I relate to what you posted. So far vaping is a big waste of money and time and good herb. As for the two week break I just came off a good 3 week break and it did not help. This thing is heading to Flea Bay if this is the best it gets. The old lungs will just have to suck up to a good old pipe. I have been smoking over 30 years with a couple friends. They came over to try my new vaporizer, well after about 45 minutes we were all sitting around asking each other " hey man you feeling anything ? No are you? Nope, well maybe a slight buzz but we should have been toasted by this time. My friends said I should send it back. I told them no returns from all sellers unless something was broken. That my friends said should have been my first tipoff that a lot of people must have tried to return them in the past. One of the guys smoking that night said he worked in a head shop in the 60's, and they had them in the shop but never sold any. What a bummer I really wanted this to work.javascript:insert_text('',%20'');

Guess vaqing isn't for everyone, but man, I'm sure glad that I can still get totally whacked from 0.025g of bud from my PD. Saves me a TON of dough and helps to keep me runnin' 4 miles a day.

 

[Beezleb]

Vaping isnt for every body. At least you know its not for you itsgeorge, what vaporizer did you try. Not all vaporizers are the same and generally speaking convection and conduction vapes differ dramatically on quality.

 

[aznfknpride]

Maybe you guys are missing the "heavy" feeling from all the CBNs that you get from combusting.. You guys looking for that couch lock high? I find myself vaping before I need to do things that are productive, and combusting when vaping just doesnt get me to where I want to be. I definitely get high from vaping though... Enough to scratch the itch

But that's just me.. IDK how you guys are.

 

[Mark]

It would take you 30 minutes each to smoke a 0.15? Are your figures correct? You use HALF of a TENTH of a Gram for 10 hoots?

 

[koggit]

Mark: Yeah, I'd load about 0.1g for 20 hits (temp knob starting at 9 o'clock and working to 12 o'clock).




About 4 hours ago I went ahead and vaped .2g in a single bowl, which is more than I usually use, I took about 25 hits from it with the VaporBros set to around 12 o'clock, got a really heavy stone.. I didn't even wanna be on the computer or play videogames, i just laid in my beanbag and watched Food Network for a couple hours.

It might be the bud.. it's 80% indica, Dutch Treat. I'm gonna try a big .4g bowl next time.

I've only smoked a couple times (I bought a vape after a week of smoking, out of health concerns) but when I did I got a much better mental high... it was different weed... but it was a high where videogames were fun, adventuring was fun, TV was funnier, etc. It might've been sativa bud instead... but... I dunno, just seems like what I'm vaping now doesn't do much for me, and it's really good bud.

Yup. Try a pure Sativa. Sativa's have a higher THC content, and being that vapes typically attack THC better than all the CBN/CBD's that are in Indica's, being that they require a higher temp than THC, this may be your answer.

Hmmmm?

I have a standard whip vape & I've been using it for about 2 weeks and I just don't seem to get as high as I do out of pipe.

Hmmmm?

You have been using cannabis for less then a month and you're trying to make all these judgements?

Just chill out and smoke/vape some weed, don't try and analyze it so much. You're still in the honeymoon phase, you're rarely (probably never) going to get this high again in your life. Of course vaping 4 weeks after your first time you smoked isn't going to produce as strong a high... its called tolerance and losing the magic.

What ever happened to people have fun, laughing and massively tripping out with mates while learning the ropes Why would you be weighing doses, counting hits, anaylzing efficiency and then complaining on an internet forum that you're not getting high within 4 weeks of starting smoking.

This is crazy talk, go get high and play some video games, you got decades ahead of you to be a burnt out stoner like the rest of us.

I'm sure glad that I can still get totally whacked from 0.025g of bud from my PD. Saves me a TON of dough and helps to keep me runnin' 4 miles a day.

likewise. Just 1 load of 0.025g gets me vaked. 1 Purple-Days vapor tube a day and about 2 to 3 tubes per day on weekends. I only vape pure landrace sativas and switch to different batches every other week. Been on the herb for about 16 years.

 

[lwien]

What's a "landrace" sativa?

 

[kalinga]

Landrace sativa is a sativa that is pure bred and has been growing wild in a particular area for a very longtime(minimum-5 decades) with minimal assistance from growers and evolving its traits to fit the local environment thus having a high tolerance against biotic and abiotic stress. I've read that landrace strains are preferred for breeding hybrids.

 

[lwien]

Sativa's growing wild in the same place for 50 years? And that's what you vape? Where in the hell do you get Sativa's like that?

 

[kalinga]

Yup. check out this links-

Wow. It's kinda like eating free-range turkeys.

Wish I could grow. Can't due to living conditions. Buy all my stuff in the local med dispensaries.

Don't forget that they must be grown by naked, large-breasted virgins.

Man I'm sorry but this post is frustrating to me, I'm typing this on my cell phone sorry for the mess!!! For 1 my friend you should not be getting anywhere near 20 hits on .15, it sounds to me like your having the same problem Itsgeorge was having and that is "air-filled hits" raise your temp, raise your vapor to air ratio by doing so, and hold that shit in. Don't be excited to see massive clouds, hold em in. Also work w your draw speed, whip vaporizers take at least a week to master and "sweet spot" and once you do it varies in group settings, because no one will draw at the same speed. That is one of the reasons whip vapes can be difficult in group situations, just remember the amount of vapor you get is dependent on your draw speed and temp and mastering that is the key to working the vape. I can assure you it has nothing to do with the strain of herb you are consuming, if its indeed headies not beasties. If your like me 15+ yr smoker you might want something to recreate that, and the VHW is my favorite hands down, I vouch for that vape anyday of the week. I have never seen a dissapointed face after ripping the VHW, taste, and high are out of this world. To close this out I'm gonna say don't buy a crappy Hotbox yuck, and don't give up on the Vapor Bros my friend it has potential, load .3. In there, find your sweet spot then get back at me, your gonna love it, shit I wanted to trash my Silver Surfer the first week, but I knew it was just user inexperience!!!

That used to be a myth about certain Cuban Cigars. "Hand rolled by naked large breasted virgins"!

POTV has a 14 day money back 100% satisfaction guarantee. They may be a few percent more on some items, but the assurance of satisfaction is well worth it for those who can act fast to return withing 14 days of receipt. Regarding your experiences with vaporization, I smoke with a buddy about once every other week. Try as I might to introduce him to vaping, he insists the pipe is the better option.

I loaned him a few relatively inexpensive vapes to experiment with and attemoted to introduce him to Dunavap, but he is simply too much of a spaz to get the technique down and too cheap to buy an induction heater.

I would not associate final sales i this industry with any scam or non-standard practice. After all, if you use this equipment for the intended purpose, it becomes contraband and the recipient can be in legal jeopardy.

In conclusion, it is my experience that attempting to convert a combuster to a vaper is often a futile effort.
Although one may get higher through combustion (personally, undecided) vaping is for sure a healthier alternative and has no proven association with cancer, as does combustion.

I smoked joints since 1970.
BonG’s were grouse to me?

Like most of life there R want a be people?
Being truthful is hard 4-some?
