i bought my first vaporizer in 1999. odd table top unit with test tubes. i didn't like the high very much, it was ok but light for lack of a better word, and went back to my beloved joints.
i tried vapes twice more over the years, ending up with a da buddha which made my throat hurt and i went through more not less pot. i kept reading posts with people saying they used less pot and i never found that to be true. not with a whip vaporizer.
i tried using the da buddha through a bong but fuck that. i was never much of a bong lover although i smoked a few pounds though one over the decades.
then i found the arizer extreme Q balloon. i've smoked maybe 8 joints in the last 10 months in stead of 6 a day. i freaking love the ballon. i love the high as much or more than my joint high. i went from 3 grams a day to 1.5. i use .10 of a gram for each bagful (i use a 1/4 tsp size spoon to measure) then make coconut ABV oil with the leftovers.
i could easily get away with vaping .75 a day as i often find myself thinking, - huh, i'm too high -, as opposed to being nicely buzzed. i'm retired so buzzed, high or stoned, it's all good.
best buy i made in a long time. let's see, i use 1.5 grams less a day, times 30 days, times 12 months...yeah, it was a good $180 purchase.
if i had the $650 or so for a volcano i'd get one but the arizer is more than enough.
if you are like me and never like the vape high as much as a joint high, try the balloon. i no longer say it's just too light of a high for me.
