The best part about going with the vape. Is that I can use it in my condo now. I never wanted to smoke in here because I didn’t want to stink up the whole building. Even though some of my neighbors do occasionally. But I just don’t want to be that guy and I also don’t want to annoy my wife who doesn’t like the smell…

She didn’t notice when I did it in the other room. She didn’t notice when I did it in the kitchen next to the living room. And then she didn’t even notice when I was doing it on the couch next to her because she was on her phone instead of watching TV. So I’d say that’s a win!

I never thought running commentary on a movie watch would be so entertaining.

I prefer Doom Metal.

Day dosing more like it.

I don’t even know what a dosing capsule is. The research I’ve done on this was read a few threads here so far :) Thankfully much of my intuition was close enough to get me started. I guess I’m not a total dumbass yet.

Great info and post. Thank you.

I got the Rogue based on others recommendations of the older smaller version. Seems to be pretty bullet proof, easy to use. I opted for a curved mouthpiece addon for the hell of it.

So I take it long slow drags are fine, and just because you’re not blowing clouds, it’s still fine? As in ai’m not able to handle big fat rips like that, so in my comfort zone, I’m barely blowing out anything visible. But it’s way less than oil or smoke.

I do have a few mouthpeace minis laying around somewhere so I could try filtering it. Is that necessary? Or even detrimental?

As far as sessions. I filled the bowl 3 times and just maxed out the timer (8min I think) and landed around 370 going from as low as 300 and as high as 450. Seems to jive with a few articles I skimmed. And that seemed to taper off flavor and effectiveness and the material seemed like a good used up brown. I’ve been collecting spent in another jar to see if I can use it for something later and inspection to see if I’m really getting the most of it.

So I will start with a few anecdotes. I normally smoke daily after work. A joint or two, couple bowls, etc. And I regularly vape oil cartridges in between times I can’t smoke or just need to calm my anxiety.

I’ve never taken to the oils. Even with small hits it’s always really irritated my lungs. Not that smoking doesn’t, but nothing like this. Not to mention how many crappy carts I’ve had that leeched into the mouthpiece. Popcorn lung indeed. Ugh.

I hate to say, I kind of had a similar experience with the dry herb.

A little info on my lung health, I was a 20 year tobacco smoker, not herbs since HS. Quit tobacco 10 years ago. Started cycling, running, etc. So I have decent cardio, and smoking doesn’t jive as much with this lifestyle, but you know… I don’t enjoy edibles much. But I swear vaping is harder on my lungs or am I just doing it wrong?

I also got a massive headache, but I hadn’t eaten anything all day until right after so…

Ok. Thanks. I kinda thought maybe that’s what it was. Just ordered my first herb vape so trying to learn all I can about it. Relevant post indeed.

So, what is AVB?

There are times and situations I might enjoy that. But as a regular smoker at the moment getting high is kind of hard due to increased tolerance. I would likely have to take a week or two to reset to try that stuff out.

To be fair, I mostly replaced craft beer with weed. So getting high is kind of the point. Just like getting drunk was. Good taste but also often higher abv. Shrug.

In case anyone goes looking like I just did. This at a quick glance at least gives an idea.

Pretty wild, from around 3% to hell, over 30% for plenty of strains now.

I was recently thinking about the old days when I started out as a young teen. The “tech” we used and sources of materials to construct our tools. And the weed we must have been smoking… And this is in the late 80s, early 90s. Even my memories don’t look so bleak compared to these. But I was meaning to look up the THC levels over the years compared to what is around now…

It so has been. Wake, bake, eat, bake, listen to records, bake. eat? Cheers y’all.

I mean I did my own bud and breakfast. But that was really just a cone and some peanut butter. Shrug.

Thread just inspired me to try a Rogue. The Step up from the Fury Edge. Go big and get baked eh? I was always hesitant to look into these new tangled methods until now. So if this is as magic as they say, I:m stoked.

That’s not entirely true. I have twice in the last year had no other option than to install an app to use tickets I purchased. An many medical services refuse to do anything that isn’t online or via an app. It’s getting to be harder and harder to not need a mobile device. It’s getting pretty stupid. Theine has been crossed already. I lived half my life without internet, I’d survive without it. But the world isn’t headed in a direction that makes it feesible anymore unless you just completely check out.
