Vaping vs Smoking

I am starting this thread to find out the experience of users who vape vs smoke their herb.

Some say without combustion, the high doesn't last as long while others believe it doesn't make a difference.

What is your experience? Does it really make a difference? If you choose "OTHER" please explain in the comments.

Thanks ahead of time to all that respond.

I think therer are many variables here. Strain, ripeness, cure. Thca high is immediate and not lasting. I think thats what you are mostly releasing from the vape?

belief is the problem.
you getting high is a tangible measurable phenomenon..

vaping will not give as long of a high, or as fulfilling imo

Not sure..although strain and content surely make a difference.

That's been my experience as well

I've vaped dry herbs out of a pax and a volcano. The volcano worked a hell of a lot better than the pax, but I just didn't really like the high. It didn't seem to last as long as smoking a joint.

Only ever vapped once Rosie...so I'm not a good judge...I'm just fine with smoking...and I like me some nice kief in that bowl too...for an extra punch

i like my vape for working and stuff... but yeah id rather just smoke bud. i like to taste what i grow

Other: Because not all extracts are made equally and not all cannabis is grown/handled equally

Butane/Propane extracts have less terpene retention than ethanol. Terpenes pretty much control how the cannabinoids effect you. The lower the terpene content, the flatter the experience is going to be. Pretty hard to tell just how long a 'flat' experience lasts as it tapers out at the end.

Good cannabis flowers will most often last longer than any extract. A good extract will hit you harder.

I love my vape but a bong gets me higher. For me vaping is a clearer head high whereas a bong gives me a full body buzz.

I guess it depends on what you're vaping. Straight weed not so long, not so good. For shatter, plenty long, plenty good. Likewise, hash oil vaping requires a parachute.

sooooo

whats the difference between vaping a concentrated mass of resin, say a "dab" of such a product.... and the high surface area "dots" of resin like the many trichomes

I only vape these days. My lungs thank me.

Regardless of what anyone says, you burn organic material and you're producing nasty side compounds.

Well I am already dying anyways so give me JOINTS!!!!

I would say it ranges from two hits for concentrates to two or three refills for flowers and still not as high as a joint of the same

no.way.,.,

rick Simpson says the cAnnabinoids neutralize all toxins so why even purge your acetone or naptha extract.

and thats from rick..you know the guy that cures all those people off his trademarked oil

So Rick says weed neutralizes all toxins including acetone ...

I'm gonna stick with the vape, but thats just me.
