ok everyone....the whole thing behind pot and vaporizers is this: when u heat up thc to a certain temperature the thc is activated or released.....when u burn it, ur killing off alot of thc.....what a vaporizer does is just alows u to heat the weed to that temp 2 release the thc and not burn it as fast......i always smoke bowls so i 4 corner it.....where u just hole the lighter off to the side only burning a lil weed at a time....this way u get mutiple green hits, and the bowl heats up releasing the thc......or u can just pur tin foil over the bowl in yer pipe/bong and poke one small hole in it.....the tin foil gets mad hot and the one hole allows a small flame to get in and burn the weed.......weed is best when heated up really hot and not burned really fast
