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?

Dynavap are great. It can get a little collector-y though. All the different tips and caps and condensers and model years bla bla bla. It's easy to either get overwhelmed or spend too much and get overly complex. The core benefit though is ironically the simplicity. If you're considering trying out the dynavap world my recommendation is to get a middle of the road model. Don't go too cheap, and don't worry about all the razzle dazzel top tier stuff. Spend about $100 and then just spend time with it and see if you want to get fancier. It's simple, clean, and durable. I moved to a dynavap after being a dedicated joint man. I go through way less weed, the experience is way more pleasant, and my mucous membranes and lungs are way happier. My only complaint is relying on a torch/jet lighter is a bit clumsy. They go through fuel really fast and really eat into the elegant simplicity of the process in general in my opinion. I have an induction heater in the mail, excited to see if it improves the experience at all.

I use a dry herb vape. Pax 3 specifically. Love the damn thing, but it's definitely milder than a joint. Tastes way better though

I'm a lightweight and not a frequent user. My goal in smoking is to get high.

I rarely used my previous vape because it got me barely any effects, at 200°C it sometimes wasted entire chamber of weed for what gave me a mild headache.

So, following the advice in this forum, I got a new one and a grinder. A modern one. A recommended one. TinyMight 2.

Tried it 2 times so far and maybe that's what you mean by "head high", for me it's all the side effects of smoking, but I don't actually get high. Doesn't take the edge off, or make me giggle, or deeply relaxed, or make me think, just hungry and balance was a bit off. And I think I used it correctly, the cloud was mighty both times.

If I could get one, I’d vape flower all day. Don’t care much for shatter but vaping flower is fucking great. Plus I can make edibles with the spent buds
