didn't mean to offend just stating fact.
vapes pyrolyze terps into nutty tasting blandness..
thcv for example boils at 428° what do you vape at? using boiling points throws the natural ratio of cannabinoids more to thc, losing its complexity. many compounds like thcv will never be utilized in a vape, and are the whole reason certain strains are grown..
To be fair, taste is subjective and not fact at all. In fact taste is mostly genetic. To say "it is not as tasty and that is a fact" is rather silly when you have someone here saying "I don't find that vaporisers are less tasty than burnt plant matter". Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a bong. In fact I go through phases where I only use the bong and not the vape, and vice versa. I like them both, they each have their charms. Vaping at different temperatures creates a world of different flavours and I really enjoy that.
As far as the efficiency goes.... well I smoke my "vapor poo" in pure joints with a little hash. The vapor poo on its own does not get me very stoned and tastes rather unpleasant without the hash. This is because the majority of the cannabinoids have been vaporised and consumed without waste (smoking a joint is at best 30% efficient).

Go for high producing strains like hash plant,some of the best hash i have ever smoked was from subcool seed strains cheese quake another top notch hash plant is a- m -s from greenhouse seeds
Just look for high thc,strains super silver haze make's nice hash.
You have got the right idea though dude,who need bud when there is hash around get some decent bags bubble bags and you won't want to smoke bud again.
Bud after all is just the carrier of the med,make the hash right and you won't smoke bud again.
But the holly grail of hash is made from trainwreck or cheese.
I'm with you 100% brother. If only I could produce enough hash to meet my medical needs. I have the bags, looking forward to making a dry sift tumbler which should be a lot easier and produce more with dry ice. My wife loves cheese. It's the only weed that's ever spun me out and made me downright paranoid, so I have a weird phobia of it these days, but I might grow one one day just for the hash
