I have to say that I definitely prefer smoking a nice fat joint or a pipe instead of a vap. That being said, I still use my vap 90% of the time.

Two main reasons, first is the smell. My wife hates the smell of smoke and won't come near me if I've been smoking. Plus she doesn't want the smoke in the house, blah, blah, blah.

The second reason is the high. With a vap I get a much clearer headed high. With a vap I'm happy and high, when I smoke I'm stoned and stupid. If I'm busy (which is most of the time) I can vap and just happily go about my work without getting distracted and/or burned out.

On those rare occaisions when I'm not busy, the wife's not around, and I just want to get baked and kick back to watch a movie or listen to music, I always go for the pipe or the bowl.
