so I'm new here, and in posession of a vaporgenie
I got the darkest woodsort of the handcarved model, now got it around 2 months(got it for my birthday since then I was finally allowed to smoke/vape/whatever weed, but it arrived a week early, I thought it would be safe to get some extra time since it's international shipping but it was here only a little after the minimum time mentioned on the vaporgenie site)
and I've learned a lot
the first try I didn't get any visible vapor, but I did taste it and I got highlater I got thin blue vapor, sometimes nothing and sometimes combustion
later the part vapor increased, and then my lighter broke down(first the piezothingy, then it began leaking gas), and I had a torchlighter laying around(wich I only tried 2 times, no big succes because my deptperception isn't what you call perfect so I burned some of the wood next to the hole)
but now I tried it again, and it worked wonders
but I do wonder: what's better, the thinner blue vapor, or the big clouds of white vapor(wich are sometimes harsh on your throat especially if kept in longer and released slowly, first time I had this vapor I thought I had combustion but when I screwede it open the herb was still lightgreen)
now with the torch lighter I have this white vapor more often
I can usualy get 3-4(but more is no exception) big hits out of it and then it's yellow and I can only get a few small thin hits out of it till it turns gold/brown an I throw it out(I use the vaped bud to make cammachocolatemilk from)
my technique as it is now:
herb grinded nice fine, but when scooped together still airy, most important is that it's evenly ground
then pack it very loosely just a little below the top
I removed the mouthpiece, I once got the idea to try it without and never went back, combustian decreased a lot with that step(and even more later with the switch to torch, combustion is hard now and only happens sometimes when I try to get more hits out of it then I should and I'm heating it too much to get some out of it)
I point the torch on the hole or I gold it diagonally into it(only the metal on top gets a lot hotter from that)
if I pint at the hole I have the torch on the lowest setting possible without going out, and get the outer lightblue area of the flame partly into the hole but keep the inner demseblue flame a bit above the hole(this is the hard part outdoor, since outdoor only the inner flame is a little bit visible, but I mostly use it in the evening/at night with only my laptopscreen as lighting, or just in the day in my room wichhas the window on the north, and the only tme of the day when it's really bright here, I'm still sleeping
then take a hit, and clear my tong from the way, since the one combustion I had on a 2nd hit of a bowl with the torch was when my tong was in the way so I didn't feel the temp with my throat
then I hit till I feel it getting warmer and I start moving the flame(if I keep it at one point it gets too hot)while at the same time inhaling faster, then I cut the flame and 'clear' the genie, sometimes I don't have enough air left to clear and then also take in some air
then I wait a bit and exhale slowly so the vapor slowly bubles up from my mouth over my face in small smokebubles/clouds(I do this because I read coughing makes you stoneder, but slowly exhaling works too, and I kind of like how it slowly escapes my mouth, especially with really big hits, there just seems to come no end to it
I also tried ghosting it but found out that that's not so easy to do with vapor if it's even possible(except blowing out part of the vapor but stop midstream and start inhaling air again, but by just waiting I not succeeded at ghosting those few tries)
this can be a bit uncoherent, cleaned out my vaporgenie yesterday since I got stuff in my mouth, and smoked about 1/8 gram of the resin about 1,5 hours ago, got superhigh and still feeling some minor effect from it(mostly endless talking and a rumbling stomach)
)
I just seem to keep wanting to share the gift of vaping
