vaporizing corrrrrectly...

so i finally got my vaporwarez 3g hands free model yesterday. he looked so cute i had to say fuck probation and hit it with a few friends last night. so we load it up and i hit it first. i could definitely taste the weed, a beautiful taste really. the only thing is, i blew out smoke. not as bad as taking a full blown hit from a bong or anything, but it was very noticeable and we had to seal off the room because a few other times we had smoke (in a dorm). does this mean we're vaporizing it incorrectly? the weed was a brown color when we got done. i took another hit and didnt have any smoke, it just tasted like weed. im confused? yea, i only took 2 hits, im a pussy, 3 months out of smoking i didnt want to kill myself. my two buddies got hella stoned, loved the fucking thing. i was actually skeptical about these fuckers but now its like wow, this is for real. anyways, any help?

if you got 'smoke', it is too hot ... you should barely be able to see a very fine 'mist' when exhaling, no smoke ... also, according to a detailed, valid, laboratory report, a vaporizer only extracts about 45% of the THC (if you don't believe that figure, smoke the leftovers, you will get just as high) ... a vaporizer is HIGHLY recommended to save your lungs, though ... I save the leftovers for cannabutter cooking ... :smokin:

You're pretty much using it correctly. When I use my vaporizer, I get some smoke . Vapor will be sorta like smoke and sorta like steam. Every weed is a little different depending on moisture content. You just need to dial in the temps ( not sure if it's adjustable on that vaporizer). Even if you do get a little smoke, it's no big deal. At least you're no longer sucking in lighter fuel. It's a much better high imo. And you can finally taste it like it was meant to be tasted !

What does a vaporiser look like? (i'm a noob)

I heard that as well and decided to smoke my leftovers. It was of low quality without the harsh smoke from shagg weed, but it still got me stoned.

And to think all those times I just tossed away the leftovers. I must have used an ounce or more in my vapor before it started crapping out.

They come in various styles. Just Google Image it and you should see a ton of pictures come up. :)

i have that same model, put your knob strait up then slight move it left but just a tad, make sure your herb is ground up good but not like dust and fill the bowl about 1/2 way and remember do not pack it in leave it kinda loose.

when you exhale your hit you will see a cloud, this is vapors and contains zero smell i have vaped right next to my GF and she didnt even know(she smokes too) so smell should never be a issue.

after you take a few hits stir the bowl and break it up a bit more until you taste popcorn, that means that bowl is finished so toss it or save it for brownies(takes like a good ounce of herb to work).

Depends on your weed and your Vape.

My Volcano extracts so much thc that smoking it afterwards is crap - you can get high - just, but not worth it.

I see a vapour - but I use a fair amount of weed and the volcano has a big-ass container and can have a really big balloon too ;)

I have an invap. Which will get you high. My problem someone told me it is a different type or high. So I still like to light up, you do seem to get more stoned. But it is not a good idea where i live. Trying to break the habit and do more vaping.

I cant stand vapes. They are the most unsocialble way of smoking, and they take away the fun.

And as its already been said, they dont even use all the THC up, joints are way better... if your going to smoke something, smoke it...

Brilliant for medicinal users.

Joints are not better than vaping, and here's why--
(1) when you smoke a joint you get a single pass at the THC- A certain amount is vaporized and some is burnt and destroyed. With a vape, you hit repeatedly at the same THC and, in the end, you inhale more THC, because of repeated toking. :thumbsup:
(2) My husband and I find the 3 foot long whip hose can be QUITE intimate. Good excuse to snuggle on the couch! You could just buy a longer chunk of tubing, if it's too short. ;)
(3) I love the fact that you don't lose "side-stream" smoke. With a joint, you always lose THC while passing and between hits. Vaping? The pot just sits there, under vaping temperature, waiting for you to take a hit. NO WASTED THC! I can take a hit, put the whip down, make a 10 minute post and then take up toking where I left off! :dance:
(4) Your toker's cough will disappear! I've used pot for 40 years and I am not a light weight toker! (This old lady can clear a 4 foot bong!) In less than 2 weeks, 40 years worth of toker's cough was GONE! No mornings coughing up chunks! I did get a cold a while back and WAS coughing up phlem, but it was clear, not all smoke colored! My lungs are clean! For this alone- all of you should get a vape! Your health is important! :)
(5) Stealth- Vaporizing has virtually NO smell! You can vape in your room all night and the parents will never know! :confused: :confused:
(6) Economy!!! To get the same high, you need just half the pot! This savings would have paid for my little VB (I grow my own, so it's basically free) - I got it for $139 + $15 S&H at discountworldonline.com. Good service and a good price. ;)
(7) I like making brownies with the left-over duff. They taste good and get me high. Can't do that with ashes! LOL
(8) Paper and lighter fuel - neither of these are good to inhale. Vaping, you inhale NOTHING but weed! (Read up on commercial paper making, lots of not so nice chemicals, dioxin, chlorine bleaches, etc). I'll stick with straight bud!
(9) Vapes need cleaning every once in a while. I poke the tars out with a skewer and mix them with a little powdered bud- good emergency smoke. Then I rinse it out with vodka which I will eventually evaporate for some oil. It may not be top quality, but I bet it will get the job done!

I had a 10th reason, but I vaped and lost it! LOL Vaping beats smoking, hands down! :D Sorry, Lip! I think you lose on this one. :)

Well he is saying they are unsocialble, and I agree. Vaporizers are also extremely impractical, and not exactly descrete by any means. You cant smoke a vaporizer as casually and practically is what I think he is getting at.

Sure the high might be better, but you are spending so much more money on the vaporizer for an allegedly higher quality high, to a point where I would rather just smoke a little more bud traditionally (rolled or out of a piece)

you cant be serious. joints waste so much more weed than ANY other smoking method out there, end of story its true. and i guess somehow passing a tube or balloon is less sociable than passing a bong or a j but vapes > joints period.

but Dutch you dont realize you will use half the amount of herb using it, i had at one point 3oz in my freezer because i could never finish the bag before i got a new one.

Im gonna have to agree with Lip. Joints are so much more fun then vapes. I loving rolling them. u can walk down the street and people just think your smoking a ciggy(Try that with a big ass balloon). Joints are way easier to pass. and seriously who doesn't like blowing out a huge cloud of potent ganja. Vapes are a fun alternative but if u see me smoking its gonna be a huge spliff or takig rips of a bong:rasta: :rasta: :rasta:

joints and blunts are more fun because you get an added high to your weed high. The paper helps give an added high.

I think joints are better...they may waste the weed...but if your worried about conserving why would you roll a joint anyway? Plus, I like to watch the smoke as I exhale...and I love the smell:dance:

Yeah I know they use less herb. But you are also spending quite a lot of money for the vaporizer. So thats why I'd rather take that money and buy more herb and smoke it traditionally. I usually only smoke 0.1-0.2g out of a bong and get high enough. Vaporizers are just impractical, because an extremely important part of smoking weed being that it is illegal, is how descrete you are going about doing so.

I recently (2 months ago) switched over to using vaporizers. health is very important and vaporizers are undoubtedly healthier. smokers cough gone in one week for me. the amount of chemicals in papers and blunts is crazy.. might as well rock the tinfoil... haha

vapes can be social and work fine for some, but some have a personal preference differences. nobody is right or wrong. for some vapes are the best.. other who might enjoy a walk in the woods while they smoke will have difficulty doing that with a vape. i still have a blunt once in awhile for the fun of it, but vape for health, taste, and money.

vaping DOES save money if you are a regular smoker. sure a vape is $150 immedietely out of the pocket but if you look at the ratio of cutting amount of weed needed, it takes only a couple months to make your money back and begin saving (longer if you are not a chronic (every day) smoker). if you smoke an ounce a month, you will now only smoke an ounce every two months... do the math.

i find you get higher from vapes, but like anything with weed it is relative as you build a tolerance from the increased amount of THC from vapes. it is clearer as the combusted plant material is what often clouds a high. you do however only get like 4 active cannabinoids from vaping and like 14 or somethings from smoking... but you get delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol which is accredited with the vast majority of its effects (its high)...

to each their own... i will stick with vaping for taste, money, and health... blunts are fun for the parties though they waste a shit load. when you mix a regular smoke into a regular vaping habit, you get a totally different high from the same strand of bud which is pretty sweet too...

I had a vape but i hated it. I prefer bongs. I can't roll joints and can't be bothered with them.

If you can roll a joint well enough, it won't burn when you pass it. Bongs and pipes on the other hand waste a lot I'd suppose, albeit, I love my bong. I can't roll THAT well, but I have a friend that can roll these beauties that just don't smoke. Cherry dims down, just waits there for the next hit. He seems to roll them quite thin, really tight. It's almost a bit hard to start it right away, but then when it's going it's good.

Heading over there in a bit to smoke one of those.

Peace,:rastasmoke:

i don't often disagree w/ lip .
but i'm w/ storm crow on this one i love my lil vapor cannon / v/b take off . lol . it wrks great . s/c already hit all the high points for us . but i still like the taste of a dube when it's crazy good smoke tho . i doesn't taste the same to me in the vapo . as far as a vapo. being anti-social yeah maybe a lil , but i am kinda anyways .
