Bong vs. joints

Here is my suggestion-only pack one hit at a time.

That's my preffered method, even when I'm smoking a bong with multiple people. Packing anything more then a hit at a time is wasteful.

When you pack a big bowl and it takes you more then one hit to finish it, your burning and vaping what's left, so each hit get's less and less powerful. Even after that first hit most of the thc is vaporized and your smoking gross vaped weed by the last couple hits.

Pack 'zippers'- one little hit at a time. You will always get a fresh, awesome tasting hit and conserve your cannabis big time.

i hate vap'ing and aagree wtih qwizo.. the high from a vape is way weaker then any other form of using cannabis.. my vape sits under my bed in a big old dust bunny..
I agree too, vaping kinda sucks IMO. I think vaping is a waste, it takes me a considerable amount more to get stoned- I love the taste but I can vape an 1/8th a day easy!

I absolutely LOVE my vape, however, I run it at high heat, and route the hose into my bong, which IS different from pulling the hit out of the standard whip. You don't get any of the small particulates that manage to sneak through a vape screen, and the vapor is a bit cooler.

The thing I enjoy most about vaping is the flavor from that initial hit. It's absolutely delicious, and every bit as complex as the aromas of the dry bud. Granted, after that initial hit, you've burned off those flavors, and any additional pulls taste like popcorn....at best.

The high DOES seem to differ from the standard combustion high, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

I've NEVER noticed any difference between the effects of weed using a joint, pipe, or bong though. Ever.

I shouldn't of said vaping sucks, that's not fair :) I do agree that the taste is amazing, in fact I love that about a vaporizer. The op was trying to conserve cannabis and IME I can go through some cannabis vaping.

I'll third that sentiment...I used my vape for all of maybe 3 weeks when I bought it, haven't really used it in a few years...Gonna give it to my mom, she's getting too old for pipes.
 
Here we go...This post might be long but after countless conversations with friends and family I think I've come to a conclusion.

My crucial tip -
No matter how many people you are with smoke as if your alone. This means packing a bowl that YOU finish in one hit. In Australia the common way people look at it is this... If you don't pull your cone through your a bitch - Simple lol.

Bongs:
For someone that doesn't smoke a lot OR doesn't smoke a lot of bongs, Bongs are by far one most intense way to get high. I'd rate is number 2 (1 being the most baked possible )

Technique > Pack around 0.2 in a cone and light. Pull gently so the smoke gathers at the base of the bong and gets thicker and thicker, once the smoke has slowly made its way to your mouth pull harder and harder until the pot falls through into the water and through the cone. If there's any floating on top of the water then try again. What ever is floating is still green and has been wasted - this is avoided by "roasting" your herb for longer. 5-10 seconds should do it. bongsmilie

Vapes:
There is a common misconception on this forum that vape's are shity... If you believe this then I feel for you - honestly.
The grey area with vapes is the diffent models and the science behind them. I've currently got an arizer solo and an arizer extreme q and I must say I love my baby's. The vape pens that claim to be good for dry plant matter are a disappointment and it's a shame that so many people have been turned off vapeing becuase of these. Vapeorizers are the one of the few things in life that the more you spend the more you actually get and its worth it! Im not a huge fan of vape bags so these techniques are all using whips. To use a vape bag with optimal efficancy start at 220 and fill up the bag as many times as you can handle or until the vaped weed stops giving of vapour.

Techniques > Slow temp raise: This method is were one starts their vaping session at around 190.C Pack your vape before you turn your console on and let heat up before the first drag. (preferable use a high end vape such as the Arizer solo/ arizer eq/ Da-vinchi/ Da buddha or volcano)
Start at 190 and every 3 drags put the temp up 5-7 degrees until your at 230.C this is as high as you want to get Temperature wise) were not done yet with the other high :eyesmoke:
The other method really is the 'gun-ho' method. This is were you follow the previous instructions but start vaping at 220.C and don't change the temp at all.

Either way- You want to take LONG soft draws with personal vaporisers such as the arizer solo as they have a much higher resistance. With desktop vapes it's not as much of a big deal... just breath away and let the console work it's magic. Vapes I would rate number 1 from personal experience every single one of my mates claims that the highest they've ever been is at my place and thats one because it's were the vapes are at!

Another great thing about vaporizers is that they don't combust the plant matter this has two brilliant results the first being that it takes away the risk of any respiratory illnesses that could just maybe be caused by smoking. The second thing is no matter how much you vape your herb they never combust so store that vaped weed away and smoke it on a rainy day when your dry. The you'll just feel super chilled out and abit high. sort of like frequent flyer miles if you feel me... :bigjoint:


Pipes
Pipe's are in no means an efficiant/ healthy or even nice to smoke out of after vaping and smoking out of stickly glass only bong's you'll never go back to the pipe - F*ck that shit maing!


Joints/ Blunts
Joint and Blunts are a beautiful past time and should be enjoyed so don't take this the wrong way...
Joints aren't very conservative, think about all the smoke that comes out of the burning end of a spliff I mean that could be in you - and both you and I know thats were it's best. Thats why joint's get a rating of 3 because everyone likes a joint, Am I right? :joint:

A tip for joint's - try your best to roll them the european way. The best way to describe this is roll them just like a pre-roll comes with a skinny roach and a cone shaped spliff. All I used to smoke for about a year was spliff so over time you sorta get used to rolling them for the best enjoyment possible. Trail and error is the best from of education.

Anywho hope this helps if anyone can be bothered to give it a read but most of all - Stay high. bongsmilie
