Vaporizers heat the bud up to a certain temperature at which the THC breaks down but the rest of the plant matter does not, meaning you get a very thin skoke- a vapor, and can barely feel your hits- meaning no cough, no tar, no resin. Very clean and arguably very effective. I find that there is nothing quite like smoking it in a bowl or my ultimate favorite the blunt. I have tried many vapos expensive and cheap and never felt the urge to buy one, dont think i would use it.
Blunts do not take a whole quarter, that is a very common and unfortunate misconception. If you are buying the pre-packaged blunt wraps- you can split them in half horizontally and use them to roll 2 blunts a piece, just as you would roll a joint. Skinny blunts in my opinion are still better than joints, better taste, smoother, and more of a high i feel. I very often smoke personal blunts- just little one gram blunts. Get me high as hell.
But recently I have purchased as glass blunt, i will attach picture so you know what i am talking about- but now i never need to buy wraps or cigars- just pull the hammer back on my glass blunt and fill it till desired. Its like a syringe-ish pipe that can pack just one hit- or more than you could possibly count.
As for the grinders.... I love those too!
Yes you can use a grinder to roll your joints, its my favorite tool in my whole stoner aresenol for its ability to grind all my ganja. If you get one with a kief chamber- and put a quarter in the chamber and bang it on the hard ground and back in forth in your hands- you will collect a shit ton of pollen (kief) and get high as hell sprinkling it on bowls or making hash- it will pay for your grinder overtime.
Ground weed tends not to run or burn unevenly when smoked in joints/blunts as compared to hand broken ganja. I also find that pot never smells better then when you just sliced through it with your grinder, smells so fresh and so dank... making my mouth water thinking about it.
A contractor has his ruler and hammer, I have my grinder and wrap
OB
First pic is my kief grinder, and my 2 glass blunts
Second pic is one of my glass blunts with the hammer pulled back- and some herb in it.
