Hi Trans, To answer your question, I sometimes vape right off the plant buds. Mostly just to "taste test" to figure out if I want clones from a particular plant. Fresh bud needs a slightly higher temperature than dry at the beginning, then you turn the vape down to your regular temperature. The first couple of hits taste "green", but then the flavor comes through. I don't think it gets me quite as high as cured buds, but it will do. One problem using wet bud is that it gives off a lot of water vapor which collects in the whip of my vape. Gets gurggly. You will need to really fill the vape's bowl to get a fair idea of the bud's potency--remember much of the bulk of the bud is just water, it shrinks as you toke it. (you'll be amazed how little you actually put in when you clean out the vape. A full load just crumbles into this tiny pile of vaped weed.) But yes, you can vape a bud that's fresh and still get high.
