Curious what others have found when transitioning to a vaporizer. Been a flower bong smoker for 3 ish years and the hockers got to be too much.

Got the arizer xq2 yesterday and have been enjoying the lack of black phlegm but the high is much headdier as opposed to body of the traditional bong.

Vapor sneaks up on you lol, being able to blow it directly in with the fan is nice too. Haven't fucked with the bags yet as it seems a little much. Been treating lungs as the bags with that fan honestly

What were your experiences/thoughts when going to a vape?

I use CBD/CBG (read: hemp) for pain and stress management (it even helped me quit smoking cigarettes): Lately I've been using a Dynavap and a S&B Mighty+ but I've been taking advantage of DHV/TEDs off and on since the turn of the millennium.

I started with a shitty globe, then an MFLB (outdated now), eventually landing on an S&B Mighty+ (easy to use, but overpriced) and Dynavaps (hard to use but after a learning curve, they are excellent inexpensive devices) with a YLL2 induction coil.

If you are looking for a good portable, I'd definitely recommend Arizer (Solo 3 V2 if you want something powerful, Argo if you want something compact), Dynavap (if you don't mind a learning curve, any are good, but if you want something to use with water pipes and whatnot, get a BB3, 6, or 9 or Vong).

If you are looking for good desktops, ball vapes are pretty much the best. There's also the S&B Volcano Hybrid which is pretty good and easy to use, but very very expensive for what it is. I also have an Arizer Vtower (good bang for your buck) and an S&B Plenty (I find it ridiculous, but I think it is more geared for recreational marijuana users in a group who are going to go through a lot of it at once).

You can also use the resin that builds up in the stems as well as the vaped hemp or marijuana to make drinks, food, tinctures, etc. If you're a a THC user, be careful about how much you consume here because stuff like stem milk can be very potent.

Personally, I stick to the non-intoxicating stuff for a few different reasons, but CBD/CBG absolutely kicks the shit out of advil for pain and I no longer need antidepressants for anxiety.

Cbg is great for migraines. I work with kids with disabilities (lots of lifting and moving) so i feel safer using cbg instead of prescription meds (that make me spacey/clumsy) when I'm at work.
