Curious what others have found when transitioning to a vaporizer. Been a flower bong smoker for 3 ish years and the hockers got to be too much.

Got the arizer xq2 yesterday and have been enjoying the lack of black phlegm but the high is much headdier as opposed to body of the traditional bong.

Vapor sneaks up on you lol, being able to blow it directly in with the fan is nice too. Haven't fucked with the bags yet as it seems a little much. Been treating lungs as the bags with that fan honestly

What were your experiences/thoughts when going to a vape?

I went from joints to a DynaVap which was a marvel of engineering but I didn't like still needing a lighter and I burnt myself on it a few times. Switched to an Arizer Solo which was amazing and really blew my mind, it was the first time I could see how much better vaping was with 0 downsides.

And now I'm on a Volcano Hybrid and oh lord, never take this thing away from me ever. I only ever use the balloons and never had to complain about a difference in high, I like the tube but I feel the balloon is such a calmer experience. You don't have to worry about "losing" anything, or your herb isn't cooking while you take in the vape, you can just enjoy it at your own rythm with your herb resting.

Yes. At home I chill with the Volcano Hybrid and its balloons.

For outside/portable use I have a Mighty+. Wich isn't pretty or cheap. But has almost the same performance as the Volcano in taste.

Steer clear of the Venty as it is a nightmare to clean compared to the Mighty.

Yup. Volcano original for home, Mighty+ when on the go.

I use the premade bags for the Volcano. You really don’t have to think much about it; it’s easy to start a session and the high is the same as a joint. What’s nice is you don’t have to finish the whole thing like you might with a joint. It gives you more control and doesn’t stink.

Yeah the time control is a huge often unspoken part. Yes you can resume a joint later but it's not the same. Here you're fully in control you can do 10mn there 1h there and have no difference of taste or effect
