Ok so I just got a cheapo 45$ vape, now me and my father both got a good high on one bowl of the vape, but one bowl in his bowl got us more high then the vape and the vape uses more weed. We were vaping at 365 increasing the heat every few hits all the way up to 370 F. It is a whip vape, was wondering what heat others were using and if they actually use less or more weed?
Wtf kind of vaporizer did you get for 45 bucks? My vape uses less weed and gets you more high but i got it for like 200
off of ebay, just wanted to get a cheapy before i spent that much. It is a Herbal & Aromatherapy Vaporizer VT-820Quote:

Since you skimped on the vape, you might have to discover some sort of trick that gets it to work with acceptable results. Maybe the temp isn't correct on it and you are scorching the weed instead of vaping it, that or it is actually too low and you aren't fully vaping it. Hard to say cause I've never used a vape before so I wouldn't know what would cause them to not work. I would think it would be pretty hard to screw up something like making a vape though, unless you really didn't know what you were doing or used very crappy parts.
You obviously got one of the cheap digital boxes, because you say you were using it at 365. The reality is, you don't know what temp you're vaping at by looking at that display. You can't get accuracy anywhere near that price. Play with it until your remains are brown, not green or black, then use the number on display as a reference.
A decent vape will require less herb than with smoking. That's the consensus from many users. Some people use vapes specifically for that reason. You should hold your hits longer with vapor though, since it's not as readily absorbed as the THC in smoke. Holding vapor hits is fairly easy and safe, compared to smoke, so it's no biggie.
Sorry to bust your bubble:D But smoke has less thc than vaporQuote:

If your weed strain had 100% THC content (which none do) a vaporizer would let you collect over 90% of the THC, smoking between 35-70%
Tokingfool, i think your misunderstanding Vapefiend. He's saying that the THC in Vapor doesn't enter your body through your lungs as easily as the THC in Smoke. So he's saying you should hold it in your lungs longer so more THC will enter your body instead of holding it for a second and exhaling. He didn't ever say it wasn't more efficient.... you still inhale a lot more THC Vaporizing than smoking.
Thanks joe. I thought I was being pretty clear.Quote:

I would like to see proff of that:thumbsup: you have some documentation ??
I know that vaping and smoking you get 2 different highs.
If both the vapor and smoke are absorbed through the lungs, both will hit the blood stream in the same manner at the same time but differnt % of THC amounts vapor has more THC in it
Its not like your are injecting the THC with a needle into our blood stream or drawng or inhale the THC up your colon:D then you would get the THC quickly
Thx guys, the weed does get brown and black really fast so ill try a lower temp prob about 230-250 and see how this goes.
sucking on a big bag of air.........i'd be ashamed to let ANY of my friends see me do that.....ahhh the younger generation,ANYTHING goes....
I actually just upgraded my vape to a new Vapir One. It's a real improvement over the hot box, which was all I could afford at the time.
Here are some tricks to get the most out of your weed, when you use a hot box
Turn until on and set temp to 320 or so. Put the whip in place and let it heat up for about 10 minutes. Now put your weed in it. ( I use a small folded piece of index card that fits into the hot mouth of the whip to dump the weed in ). Put the whip back on the vape. Now, ytip the vape so that the weed is as horizontal, against the heating element as you can. I prop mine up with a box of kleenex.
Start vaping. It usually only takes 5-8 "hits" off the vape to feel high. Hits at about 6-7 minutes after starting.
When finished, pull th eplug. When vape is a little cooler (5-10 minutes later) dump out the used weed and clean the inside of the big glass whip end by wadding up toilet paper and going around and around (you should see the tar!) Now put the whip back on the element i and put it away.
Why that last step?
That's what I call a "be kind to me" maintenance move. Now, you're all ready to start next time. Your glass and whip don't need to be cleaned with soap, water and alcohol so much, or replaced so quickly.
When I used the hot box, I was using less than 1/2 gram of weed at each session. It was only me, and I'm a lightweight. So, adjust your intact accordingly.
That vape will serve you just fine. As my dad used to say; it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. (ok, weird, Dad)
Where's your link for the study that supports smoke and vapor delivering in the same manner at the same time?Quote:

As for the OP, I think the problem may well be the same old 'I'm missing something with vapor', which is true. And if the wasted, couchlock feeling is what you're after, then vapor probably isn't for you.
vapefiend still on the prowl to correct everything and anything to do with vaporizers lol good times, see I haven't missed too much....I'm afraid if I say anything related to vaping that vapefiend will show up underneath my bed.... =/ ok just busting...i'm vaped as I type this..peace!
Yeah, it's awful that I actually ask for a reference to back up something that someone posts as a fact. :rolleyes:
And it's interesting how you do the 'lol' thing to disguise a personal attack-excellent passive agressive skills there. And ending with "peace". Bravo!
aww so you did miss me?! :rasta:
I'm surprised how many hits you get from a bowl on a vaporizer then from a simple pipe or bong.
Back in the day when an 8th was $60 I used to drain my bong once a week through a coffee filter then smoke the remains. Not exactly like smoking resin because it was the unburned portions of weed that sucked through the bong bowl but got you plenty stoned.
smoke blunts
Personally, I only use my medicine in edibles and the vape, and I have one of those cheap units too. I prefer not to burn my lungs with smoke, and at 365 degrees I get many hits. Plus, I save the vaped medicine in a jar and make butter with it for my edibles when I have about half a cup. That amount to a pound of butter (see the recipe in the edible section that's a sticky) in a crock pot, I end up with about a cup and a half of butter. Then I make brownies from a mix, baked at 325 (not the 350 called for in the mix) for a little longer than called for. Half a brownie is plenty. I may be a lightweight, but friends with very high tolerances have praised my brownies' effects! None of this is instant out of this world super stoned, but that's not what I'm looking for. Your needs may vary!
you got what you paid for..cheap ass vapes, use cheap ass shit.... gives you cheap ass hitsQuote:
