ok so ive had many people outside of the internet ask me how vaping is compared with smoking now this could be real well known information but as i dont spend much time on the internet and live in a place where basically everyone even if they use mj they are what i like to call "noobs" lol. (IF YOU JUST WANT TO READ ABOUT THE EFFECTS/DIFFERENCES IN HIGH AND DOSAGE FOR VAPING VS SMOKING SCROLL PAST THESE FEW PARAGRAPHS )
Anyway i would like to tell you good folks on riu about my thorough research and even more thorough personal experience with vaping.
So i like to start off with a few facts which might help
i smoked very heavily for 4years usually no less than 4gr a day alot of the time 6-7gr a day and on occasion even more so i have a HIGH tolerance
So i was thinking about the health risks of smoking even though not servere still not great so i decided to invest in a vape and to start off id like to say the difference in how i feel i very noticable i would always cough up black or brownish stuff most likely resin which aslo kill cilia(i think there called that)i got to the point where i lost my breath almost instantly when i did anything faster than a walk when i smoked now my lungs feel very clean and can take deep breaths
the smell- so the smell is alotttt less noticable even to the point where if i had a small session and blew towards the window i wouldnt be too bothered if there was someone who didnt want to smell it or would get you in trouble if they knew what you were doing. i know a bunch of people who vape in there offices and blew toward the window and no suppects a thing ( dont take my advice and vape somewhere your not allowed this is just an example to show the diiference for instance i think you would be able to smell it if you smoked in that room and even blew right out the window.
But when i used to smoke my friends and parents (not that it mattered for me) always could smell smoke on me now this was quite annoying when out in public or meeting certain people and in certain situations where you didnt want people to know you smoke but since i started vaping i dont have that horrible stale smell on my clothes and stuff inside my house like chair just stunk of smoke well not anymore
THE MAIN ARTICLE AND THE REASON I WROTE THIS -THE DIFFERENCE IN HIGH BETWEEN VAPING AND SMOKING
Now it might seem like this doesn't make sense or im saying randoms stuff lol but read it all i will make sense and is 100% accurate
ok i will start of first with dosage but this means the dosage BETWEEN the TWO methods for ME rather than your dosage but WILL provide a crucial example as some of the differences i have found in smoking bud or vaping bud.
so i will explain this as simple and clean as i can then explain it abit.
when I vape I find that it always "basically" stretches out my high for instance if i smoke the same amount i don't get as high for as long BUT 0.1 DOES NOT get me high in a vape.
Look at these examples for me
If I smoked 0.2 of nice quality herb it would give me a quite nice high for 20min an Ok-ish high for the next 20 and a little high for 25mins
NOW if i vape 0.1 of quality I really wouldn't feel much if anything
If i vape 0.2 i would fell very little a will not be worth the high and FOR ME will be a big waste of bud
i vape 0.3 i feel its still a waste
now if i vape 0.4 for me still not worth it but still get me there but high is very weak although it lasts 2:30h atleast 3hrs quite easily but for me the high is still way to weak for me in the vape so
all of the above i would prefer smoking those amounts 0.1 all the way to 0.4 and most of the time i dont vape unless i have atleast 0.7 but i usually so prefer a nice strong high when i get high lol because if i smoked 0.1 through 0.4 amounts for my tolerance i would get me much more high but for not as long BUT REMEMBER i said 0.1 didnt get me high SO in essence the high was spread out and i find for ANYBODY VERY LOW AMOUNTS in vape dont get people very high and put them of vapes but VAPORIZERS are ALOT MORE EFFECEINT AT in essence taking all the cannabinoids from bud and giving it to you than smoking is. BUT like i said i would usually smoke whenever i had less than 0.7 as so in small amounts like all my friend smoke in effect its more cost effective for them because alot of people i know smoke say twice a day 0.2 each time in a bong and they have tried vaping that much and from my experience it just doesn't get you where you want to be and for way no where near where i wanna be lol.
BUT i used to smoke say 10 times a day say 1gram in a bong each time (so 10grams)
now if i wanted to get just as high with this exact example i would vape NO more than 3 times but each time vape 1.5g (4.5grams) and even than is too much in a vape this for anybody im sure WILL give you a high for longer even at half the amount with this example now since i vape 1.5gram at a time it also give me a more intense high and i feel i DO NOT WASTE ANYTHING as even tho if i SMOKED 1.5g in say 2min i would give me a slightly more intense high for only the first 5-10mins then then high is the same for 30+ mins until you sober up UNLESS you VAPORIZED you bud and you will be JUST AS high as and will be high FOR MUCH MUCH MUCH LONGER AT HIGHER DOSAGES i feel i started to actually waste my weed when i smoked 0.9+ it just took like triple the amount to get me high for another 1 more hour when i could just smoke 0.9 twice and be high for a lot lot longer than if i smoked 1.8g in 1 go.
So thats why i vape and you can vape more and more and to a certain extent i feel its hard to waste you bud in a vape like for instance if you were going to have 5+ grams in a day i would have it in one or two sitting and i would be high from 5grams in a vape most of the day but smoking even though i want an INTENSE high wether that be sativa or a indica i don't want to waste my weed because i feel smoke big amounts in very little time is not very effecent ( obviously people like smoking (which i will get to ) and dont mind or have the money or weed lol) but i save so much money vaping the amounts i do for if i wanted to smoke and get the same high and when i say the amount i do its not even alot the last 2years i have vaped 1gram a day in 1 sitting usually high for 4-5hr and for the first 3hr tho the high is VERY NICE
MY CONCLUSION I think vaping but ONLY AT MY CURRENT TOLERANCE LEVEL saves me AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT of bud at anything above 0.8.
i think this will apply to
EVERYONE but on a different scale if i could get bud cheaper in the situation im in (just moved) would be vaping abit more and then these numbers would rise so the point is in the DIFFERENCE in the two methods as alot of people tolerance will be lower than mine than you could say weed from using a vaping at even 0.3-0.4 and have a strong high i have ALOT OF people that tell me they vape usually no more than 0.2 and gets them stoned and they save alot of money
NOW alot of people i know just dont like the vape some claim it just doesnt get me high the same way this is all to do im sure you all know lol about the temperature where you light the bud if you smoke a bong the lighter is 1112f which is way higher than the higher cannabinoids and all the other subtances in weed and actually burns some of the cannabinoids and other stuff straight away long before it reaches our lungs another slight reason vaping is better. BUT vaping which is considered 230c or 446f or less does NOT release all the subtances in weed which in itself is a whole other topic wether these subtance are wanted or not. SOME Vapes im sure go OVER 446f and you'll get a combination of vape and smoke which again many of my friends chose to do this and essentially you can look at what temperature each chemial vaporizes or combusts/burns and vape/smoke at that temp
Now i know may people who just dont like vaping because of this becuase the actual high you get with vaping is different and you only get the wanted terpenes for flavor and all the cannbinoids. So the high people who smkoke as most do realy assiosiate with getting high isnt like just get pure cannabinoids and flavor you get a host off other stuff which some argue is good but still agree there still unwanted chemicals one is benzene which people have died from which expossure (NOT FROM WEED LOL) only small amount in bud but this chemical only rleased when smoked give you a droswy like feeling like it really tires you out and make you feel like youve been awake for 3days for instance when i used to have long smoked sitting or just smoke alot at the end of the day even if ive been smoking mainly sativas i feel destroyed and ikky and the complete oppsite of refreashed now i only vape if i vape even loads indica or not even at the end or the day i have energy and don't feel worn out and dont need to sleep.
VAPING is more pure in the sense that (from an atricle) " … There is a vast difference in the quality of smoke that one receives when they vaporize versus igniting their plant matter. When one smokes a joint, or hits their bong approximately 88% of the combusted smoke gases contain non-cannabinoid elements, most of which do not get you high and provide potential health risks.
Conversely when one uses a marijuana vaporizer the smoke/gases that they are inhaling consists of approximately 95% cannabinoids, otherwise known as the psychoactive ingredients that both calm the mind and soothe the body.
the other 5% is small amounts of one Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and caryophyllene
i have not proof read will do later if anyone actually read most of this thanks and i hope you were stoned if not start up your vape or light up
