That's It....I Quit....

[CanGroIt]

....Smoking that is........

I was sick as heck this past week and smoking was not an option....(respiratory infection).... So I had no choice but to go out and look for a good vaporizer.... Decided to pick up the NO2 from Vapir.... I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor that did come with vaping....and the lack of irritation in my lungs.... I'd never vap'd before so I really didn't know what to expect.... I read that the high was different and now I have confirmation....no couchlock, all cerebral.... For someone who has a naturally high metabolism, I kinda want that couchlock feeling every now and then....but I don't want to go back to smoking....

Was wondering if any NO2 users have any tips as to achieve a "higher high" so to speak??? Like has anyone tried a hash ball in one??? Can you put a hash ball in one??? Maybe powdered hash on the grinded buds???

Right now I have to pack it three times before I get the effects I like (small herb chamber)....using as much as I would if I would have smoked a joint....

Decided with a portable vap because I travel at least once a month....and I don't want to have to explain to my kids why I'm bringing this volcano looking thing....so that's why I decided on a small one for now....

Oh, I've been vaping for three days now and boy are my lungs feeling better....:vap_rasta:....

I got a bit of 'couchlock' from Blueberry. You may want to try some of that! Used a Vap with that and was very nice couchlock! May want to experiment with different strands. Cannot answer rest of your questions, but am sure others can! Glad to see you switched to Vap. I got a nice portable, as well with a connection to switch from 110 to 12V, while camping, fishing and road trips for night! A real good price in L.A. There are lots of discount 'smoke shops' there, well within an entire block. pr

First time I used a vap. I felt it took a lot to achieve the high I needed not to mention after the first hit I quit smoke'n, felt my lung come into my mouth I harshed out so bad, few minutes later ... puff puff. Certain strains certainly make a difference

Thanks for the replies!!! I guess I'm going to have to try different strains....looking forward to it....

Had I tried a vaporizer long ago, I'd a quit smoking then....

Have patience, it will work. Just seems like you have to suck pretty darn hard. I must admit, it is more fun with a friend. You may want to put your thumb over the end of your piece after a toke and not leave it heating. As it does continue to work after you take your med! Good luck! I was just lucky, did it with an experienced person first! pr

Bro:

Front & foremost thanks a ton for my grow & doubly for the advice on the ongoing "double harvest"! Secondly, I'm a "Respiratory Care Practitioner" by schooling & to tell ya that carbon is bad for the lungs would be an understatement. Been vaping for some time now & would HIGHLY recommend never ever inhaling smoke unless of course you like to be suffocated? Of course this in "inho". Me thinks that ur a rational humanoid & will never do this again. Seriously I need my teacher healthy & thriving.

I've now made the decision to never ever inhale smoke again.... Why??? Because not only have I come to realize just how bad smoking is, I've also lost my taste for it....

While I was sick, I had a lot of what I believe to be mucus or phlegm built up in my lungs.... After my fever went away I was still wheezing when breathing.... Usually my inhaler would make me cough up whatever was stuck but this time the wheezing was deep in my lungs.... So what I did was toke a bowl.... After a week of not smoking and being sick I smoked my first bowl and it was the most awful taste I'd ever experienced with cannabis.... I took four small hits and that was enough to irritate my lungs....so much so that I coughed up 75% of the built up phlegm....the nastiest shit I've ever coughed up....something I never want to experience again.... I've smoked four times since being sick and it just doesn't seem like the way to go anymore.... And now that I have a vaporizer, I never have to combust again.... Oh and I just started experimenting with hard canna candy....made some potent lollipops!!! Will start a thread over in the recipe section to share....

Yeah I traveled the same road. However, my vape days are past me too. It may be "better" for you than straight up smoke but there is still a lot in there that is not good for the lungs. Just check out the color of the stem. That's what your lungs look like. After about a year of vaping here is what I liked best. 1. With the chamber empty heat it to maximum heat. Take a pinch of product - a bit more than a bong hit - and drop it in. You'll get two or three very good hits. 2. Empty chamber and repeat as often as needed. But at the end of the day, you're still smoking, it's just a finer smoke with less crap in it. I'm on to edibles only now. Not nearly as satisfying but I feel a TON better and my exercise routine has benefited too...
