I can tell you for sure that it's easier on your lungs. I had bad chronic bronchitis when I was a kid. It stopped when I hit puberty but probably affected my lungs long term. Smoked cigs for many years and even though I quit 12 yrs. ago, smoking weed was bothering me to the point where I was seriously thinking of quitting. Vapor gave my lungs a new lease on life. Made a huge difference.

The high is a little bit different. Couchlock inducing toxins like carbon monoxide and benzene are greatly reduced or eliminated. As for using less with vaping, a lot of people say yes. I use more, but that's not saying much since I had tapered off to very little before trying a vape. I had no problem switching 100% to vapor. I was motivated, but I also fell in love with the taste and smell compared to smoke.

It might be an adjustment for you going from a bong to a whip vape. Unlike a lightbulb, the VB is convection, and how much hot air hits the herb depends on the user's draw on the whip. You have to hit it easy or you draw in too much cold air and lower the temp below vaping range. The remains should be a medium brown, not black.

The Vapor Bros is a good box. I do hate the way the whip goes down over the heater cover. Too easy to dump your load. A lot of box vapes are like that though. Just change the box position. You can even turn it upside down.
