...I want to discuss something though, i'm sure this has been addressed ad nauseum... I am not on the bandwagon at all that vaping conserves weed. I'm glad it does for you all, I have no idea how people make these claims. In my experiences, I'd say I use almost an extra 10 percent of spice then normal. Its frustrating because I always read about this conserving business, but it just ain't happening for me.
What vaporizer do you use, yolky?
I used very tiny amounts per day when I combusted it, so my use has gone up slightly since beginning to vape. Part of that is that I am learning to use my vape, the Vapor Genie and so i "need to practice more". But also it does seem to work better with a bigger load (like maybe .015 gram) but that is still way smaller of a load than MOST people use.
From what I gather from the posts of PD users, some are using about .025 per stem and that works very well for them. If so, then that is indeed also a much smaller amount than most people that I know use for combustion. Again, for me, .025 would be an increase in what I have been using for combustion. The other factor of efficiency is that they are taking the vaporized herb and getting more mileage out of it in various ways, so that too is part of the efficiency.
I am guessing that if one was rolling a joint, most people would roll at least .10-.30 or more so if that were the case, I am guessing one would get higher using that same .10-.30 in a PD or MZ or Vapor Genie - those are the ones I either know or have read enough about to say this.
