For sitting with my feet up, a long churchwarden pipe like lord of the rings. For when out and about, joints rolled with raw papers and tips, with the belt style roller. I make a tight 3/4 the diameter of a cigarette, that draws like a Marlboro, and tastes great with some blueberry…

Lol. My lab loves the smell of weed either growing or when I’m grinding or loading a bowl he might do a drive by sniff. If I ask if he likes the smell, he boops my hand yes. But smoke from a pipe he turns away from, and when I ask if it smells bad, I get my yes Boop. That’s not to say the little shit doesn’t hang around fir some contact now and again. When I had a g pen vape, he loved the smell of that, essentially de carb.

I just got a DaVinci IQ2 vape. Would like to bring this thread back to life.
I could use some advice.

Today it was 10X potent Brownies. I save the “sludge” from my Infuzium 420 Butter machine and add that into any store bought (or from scratch if you are so inclined) Brownie mix. I got “Double Caramel Chocolate Death by Sweetness” (or some such concoction of…) Instead of “vegetable oil” I used the 3/4 cup of highly infused coconut butter. Then added “sludge” into the mix. (It breaks down completely- does not have any cannabis “taste” per se…Think of “sludge” as the Everclear of Cannabis. That should give you a hint!)
The only bad thing about “sludge” is that it basically looks like brown colored sand…So, it has to go into something like chocolate or BBQ sauce or hearty zucchini bread…You get the idea.
I had underestimated my Julie Child/Doc Emmet Brown Love child experiment and produced the worlds most potent kick ass (Happy) death by …whatever the heck it was I baked! Hell…I’m baked. Baked as a happy crocodile on the banks of the Nile. Save your SLUDGE people if you have one of the "magickal butter machines like Levo, MB3, Infuzium etc). 
Warmly,
Jackie

I just started Vaping. I threw down$300 on a DaVinci IQ2. I did a search about the best vape for weed and it came up.
The experience is different. I still get really stoned though the tempo is a bit off. Not sure why. I kind of feel like I’m eating fries, but without any salt. IOWs, after I’m done Vaping, I still want to take a hit on a joint.

Wow, when you try something you go all in huh? I do vaping too but just pick up the cartridges at my local dispensary (I grow like hell- but can’t distillate my own- mostly I make canna-food/caps and tinctures). I just have the “el cheapo” universal 510 rechargeable battery… works great though, only cost like 10$. I have seen some “flower vaporizers” like your awesome DaVinci- but man, I dunno…Sounds kinda like the high I get while eating it in edibles 
Longer and stronger. Peace friend!

It was kind of a lark. I quit smoking 1980 and I didn’t start smoking pot until 2013. As I clean my pipe, I get a good look at what I’m putting in my lungs and I’m trying to quit that.
I did about 20 minutes research and ordered the DaVinci. Yeah it was a bit but money comes by to me pretty easy these days.
Now that I’ve learned it, it is pretty cool. I’m not a “candy” user. I like normal coffee and can’t imagine flavoring my pot. But I like that I can do different modes.
You can load up little cartridges various ways and just pop them in. Okay, forget all this.
My first strange phenomena is a sense of timing. When I smoke, I’m aware of the pot burning. It has a beginning and an end. The party is over when all the pot is burnt up. I start my vape by 5 clicks. It runs a session for 8 minutes then shuts off. If I’m daydreaming and don’t toke for 5 minutes, the vape will still go off at 8 minutes. At that point, I’m not sure what is in my vape.
Is it depleted pot? Fresh pot since I didn’t hit it? But sure. I’ve restarted the vape and did another session. Since I’m already stoned, it hard for me to determine if the pot has any “life”.
I’m getting used to it but it is not the same.

One of the worst tasting things in the world is depleted pot!
As I said earlier, one of the things I haven’t got down pat is knowing when my pot is “used up” in my vape!!?
I toke on my vape but how long?
Does it depend on how much I load?
Whether I take short or long draws?
How hot the temperature?
Do I lose THC when it is sitting idle?
Okay, but do not do this. I was trying to decide what to do with the “leftovers”. I.e. the pot that has to be cleaned out of the vape. It smells like old leather.
I heard some say they added it to their edibles soup. So I took some and loaded it into my smoking pipe and lit. I drew it into my lungs and I felt like I inhaled steel wool! It tasted like cardboard and burned my throat. I coughed uncontrollably with years coming from my eyes.
But why not? I already ate the cereal and now I was eating the box!

@SlingShot I looked at those vapes, but then saw the price. Did I mention I am cheap. I have a used battery pen (Airo) that a buddy gave me; all it needed was a charge, so I bought a cartridge to match, Durbin Poison. I like it, but I’m a flower guy. I prefer joints, but in recent times, I have yet to participate in smoking one from start to finish in one sitting. Usually it takes a week or so to finish one. The most used method for me is the one-hitter. I prefer the ceramic ones with a tapered chamber, rather than the stepped chamber, but those are hard to find. I have only one of those left and I have incorporated it into my mini bong for finishing roaches, also using it as a connosseurs’ crutch. For a pic, see “Show Your Roll” in the uncatagorized section of the forums. Using the mini bong for finishing roaches is perfect for those of us who are a little anal about waste.

I looked for one hitters, the kind I used in Hawaii in the early 80s, and can’t find anywhere. What I was looking for is about the size of a thick silver dollar. I would pack it with bud but it was really good for smoking roaches. But…
I’m trying to reduce the crap I’m putting in my lungs. At 68, I’m trying to repent for my evil ways. So I’m trying to inject THC with the least amount of resins, saps and ash I can pull off.
I spent the big bucks because of the versatility, or at least that is what I told myself.
Besides vaping flower, I have the capacity to vape oils, tinctures, hash and any thing I can let my imagination come up with.
Regardless, it is still a strange transition from burning media to vapor media. There have been times where I felt I could make a meal of a joint. I don’t ever think I’ll have that pleasure vaping. I could be wrong.

@SlingShot I hear you, man. Our bodies don’t get any younger, we just get better at treating them. We get more creative at dealing with pain and such. For instance, I’ve been taking a hit every morning of my BDA for arthritis, and it works pretty good. I believe that the 2% cbd helps. The next time I buy seeds, I hope to have at least 4 or 5% cbd. Of course, I will want a decent amount of thc also. I mean, I DO like getting high!
I bought some CBD oil. It was supposed to have a real high concentration and cost quit a bit.
I was using it to alleviate my shoulder pain.
I would put an eyedropper full under my tongue.
To be honest, it didn’t do Jack Shit! Lol

Hey, you gotta try, right.
I tried my dry herb vape with a bud of my least tasteful weed and the flavor really brought out the terps. Got me high, too! Boys and their toys.

Critical Mass is my fave strain for CBD. 5% CBD and 19% THC.
I’m finally getting used to it. It is a change and I’m a creature of habits, mostly bad.
With every new grow, I’m sure I screwed up. I think I reviewed harvested too early or too late or didn’t do something right.
So I load my IQ2, take a long hit, and then another. After 5 to 10 minutes, I’m sure I have a bad crop.
But in about 15 minutes and I realize I’m in a soft glow. It’s intense but maybe not as intense as since strong smoke.
But I stay “up there” a lot longer.
It’s a good high for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours and then seems to drop abruptly.
