I'm looking to get into a dry herb vape as a better alternative to prerolls. All I see online is people lavishing praise on them and real studies saying they have health benefits. Plus buying straight flower and grinding is cheaper.

Do you use one and if so do you have a reco? I've been leaning towards the g pen elite for a not astronomical price but decent looking portable build.

I had a friend who had a dry herb vape. We smoked out of it all the time. Truth be told, it was really nothing to write home about. It really didn't have the same texture to the high as, say, a traditional joint. It was more weed for less high. Imho, if you really want bang for your buck, stick to distillates, oils, hash, and edibles.

If you want the health benefits without putting tar in your lungs, it's just a matter of scheduling a day where you can spend a few hours with a plate of brownies and some good movies. Homemade is just better in every regard.
