weird, i tried vaping some fresh green bud last harvest and it tasted like shite out of my PD... maybe it doesn't get hot enough..

oh and +1 on the Oven method, i've had good results with that

For my personal stash tho, i prefer a longer curing time actually; around a month hanging with air circulating, and then into jars for another 6 months curing. I burp the jars about once a week, and take quality samples every 2 weeks or so. Properly aged bud tastes and works amazing.
