You'll know because it will be black ashes as if it were burned in a bowl when it is done

Hold the flame about an inch away, and only put a little in there and make sure you cut it up real good before putting it in there so it will vaporize easier

Okay here's how I've been dealing w/ things w/ my boyfriends vape...

FIRST off, the weed should be a very dead-looking BROWN after vaping, not black. Black means there's still some kick to it. Or actually, those people who stop using it when it's black are probably the people who reuse it in brownies and stuff, which actually leads me to my second point... If proporly spent, the weed in a vape should Never be capable of reuse. I say this because when I'm done vaping, and the weed is a dead-looking brown (NOT a burnt brown, just a spent brown) it has absolutely nothing mind-altering about it (i tried smoking it... nothing)

So basically, I guess some people have different opinions on when their weed is spent... i think it's the difference between getting 4 or 5 bags out of it, or getting 6 or 7. personally i like to spend all my weed in the vape, instead of saving the "black stuff" for brownies. it's nice to save the crushed stuff and realize how much you've smoked (something you cannot do with combustion smoking).

as far as the HIGH goes, i'm going to be dead-ass honest with you, as I would be the very first to knock a High that was less than awesome... the last time i smoked the vape, Mackey-we named it lol (cuz when the THC balloon fills up, it looks like Mr. Mackey's body & head from South Park) I got so incredibly high, that it left me a babbling idiot.... i had 100% tunnel vision and i just remember constantly saying "i feel like everything i can't see right now does not exist"... aka, i haven't been that high since my first couple times smoking.

the high is amazing, probably if you do it right... honestly, i'd rather over-use my weed than under-use it. over-using it, at least in the HerbalAir, doesn't render it bad-tasting or anything, because it CONSTANTLY tastes just like it smells (as someone else said), but by using it until you are absolutely sure no THC is left, then you're getting the MOST out of your product, and getting fucked in the brain by the high you get... Happy vapeing!

The way u get high when smoking is not from combustion of the plant material itself but the hot smoke travelling through the rest of your weed on the way to your mouth vaporizes the chemicals in the weed underneath. That's why u always get the best hits the first time before u have burned anything underneath.

hm i never thought of that before... some default vaporization happening during regular combustion smoking..

Ya cause the fire just ends up burning up all the plant material and the THC. It can't really affect u if it's destroyed can it? I remember reading this somewhere. I believe it was something I was reading when i was studying up on activating your weed. I could be wrong on where I found it though. Damn stoner brain! LOL!
