Is curing necessary if vaping?

Due to COPD, I’ve had to change from smoking my weed normally to grinding it up and using a ‘Volcano’ to vape it. While it’s nice to not cough anymore, I sure miss the flavor of a good ol’ rolled joint! I’ll still take not coughing, though.

Anyway, now that harvest is here, it came to my mind that curing may not be as necessary since I grind it and vape now….. the cannabis just turns fluffy after it’s vaped… I don’t know if the flavor would be any different if it was cured properly or not.

I’ve had (am just ’getting over?’,,,,if you ever do?) Long Covid for the last 9 months, or is it 10? It messes with your brain and I can’t think…. I can’t tell when i smoke it if it’s any different. I think i said that. Whew.

so if anyone knows it may save me some time. I only have 6 plants that survived the 100+ degree heat this summer….. there were 15 AUTOFLOWER that died as they came up due to the temps late May…ALL. Of them~~!!!!! It’s been one heck of a year~!

thanks in advance. (I’ll forget if I don’t :oops:

Vaping makes weed way tastier and more flavorful. If you dried it right it should be fine without the cure. But seriously any weed has more flavor vaping than smoking, at least using my desktop SSV vapes. Never tried the Volcano but that thing's supposed to be sweet too.

oh, thanks. I’ve been in the “Twilight Zone” with Long Covid. It’s like nothing I’ve ever been through. It stole my mind and I don’t know if I’ll ever get it all back again. Nothing is as it seems….wish it was as good as an old fashioned acid trip ;) , but no. Just some things that don’t seem right. Nothing fun…darn.

At least it looks like I won’t have to go through all the curing. I’m trimming right now.

I use hash capsules for sleeping, so no smoking for that at all. I sleep really well with .30 grams of hash & I learned I do have to smoke also (i forgot when I said above . I thought with such a large capsule it would be no problem. but still have to smoke.…I forget a bunch now…more than just cannabis forgetful :(…more than just old age forgetful…it’s awful.).. sorry, I’m losing my concentration, too.
Thanks again

One more thing (I ’talk’ way too much…especially now)…

so, y’all think vaping tastes better!

WOW. I’m an old…and I mean old :p hippie from the ‘60s…the 1960s… and we used to wrap our weed in rolling papers! It tasted great. I really miss that taste. Bet it wouldn’t taste that good anymore though.

just wanted to add a little bit from the past… we didn’t even have ‘vaping’ / we had joints :joint:

I’m so old, we didn’t even have flavors ;) ….

Weed was always $10 a lid (ounce) and we did have
Alcapulco Gold and a few others (old age & Long covid wiped my. Memory :(… ),but there were one or two others now that I think of it.

interesting to think about it. Been awhile

Had excellent weed from Chapala Mexico and also Columbian. Most Mexican which was mostly available was typical brick but a very strong heady high. I remember getting stems like your fingers and big leaves. Everything was seeded.
That hash would so expand in your lungs. Also made cigarettes taste very strange.

Half oz maybe once you cleaned the stems and seeds out of it. Found a dead and mummified mouse in a brick when we broke it up once. Smoked my first joint at 13 so around 1967. Would pay $5 for a wooden match box stuffed with bud that was already cleaned but there was always a few seeds in it that could give you an exploding joint if you weren't careful. lol

Growing up next door to Vancouver in Richmond was a pretty good time back in the day. Tried every drug going back then but the only one that stuck was pot and way too much booze. Sober now for over a year so it's pot and a little micro-dosing with 'shrooms. No pharma drugs either!

:peace:

I think the weed I smoked many moons ago was half mold. Love my volcano. 357 is my favorite temp.

Love my Volcano too. I couldn’t give up my weed, so found a way :D. Even makes trimming easier. I used to trim my buds almost as nice as the dispensaries (drove my husband crazy. He didn’t want to work that hard!) Now I just trim off the fan leaves and I’m done. Wow, so much faster. This is my first year to do it this way. I’m zipping right through those leaves!

Sounds very familiar. I’ve been sober for almost 38 years now…. Way too much booze.

I smoke for nausea and take hash capsules to sleep…unfortunately I got Chronic Fatigue Syndrome when I was 30 and it cut me down fast. I’ve been housebound since I was 38. they forcibly retired me…gone was the camping, motorcycle riding …..etc…. sooooo……tmi. Sorry bout that.

btw, I saved some of those match boxes :D . I saved small stuff…tiny stuff …and saved them in those boxes. (Changing the subject here!) …my doctor says I have “Covid brain” > isn’t that original?:hug:

Do you decarboxylate the hash that goes into the capsules? If not look it up, it could save you a ton of hash, making those .30 go a lot further.

my Nana was a hippie and smoked so so much hash, she said they couldn’t really get weed very much in the U.K. it was all solid
