Hey guys, Though this question may get asked frequently, I've never found the right answer I'm looking for. I am generally a flower user, but am curious to know what concentrates are like. My tolerance isn't exactly high, and I don't want to dive right into dabbing or anything. I actually would want to start with a concentrate pen (gpen, cloud, etc) but I'm afraid my tolerance isn't high enough and I will have a miserable experience. Anyone have any suggestions or input as to If I should work up a tolerance first or if starting with a pen would be best? Thanks! 😬 Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
it does not matter if you get a pen or a rig. Smoking shatter/wax will be very strong one way or another. Try it. If you like it keep at it, if you dont stick to flower.
just like weed,when you first start doing it you get really high then after awhile you get used to it and if you dont do it for awhile (I dab a lot and even 2-3 days without dabbing and a dab will get me pretty damn stoned) your tolerance still goes down. its just that it goes back up quicker too if you dab a lot bottom line: it doesnt matter dude
I haven't found dabs to be that much different from simply smoking a large amount of flowers. If you really wana try concentrates, try making your own hash from a bit of bud, or get a four piece grinder or kief box and smoke some kief topped bowls. It's cheaper and you get to get extra stoned when you have some saved up.
Yeah I think I'd want my first time to be something I can easily control the hit I'm getting- hence why I wanted to start on a pen. I normally Vape vs smoke flower anyway. I just didn't know if it would be too crazy! 😛 Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
If you have a low tolerance why switch? Concentrates has fucked my tolerance up. Have you ever dabbed before? Do you have access to quality Bho? If your not in a legal\\medical state I would say stick to the flowers.
Dude just start off with a real small dab, if youve smoked enough to be on a marijuana forum you can probably handle a VERY small dab. I would actually prob take a hit of weed or two first so its not like 0 to 100.
You basically will get high faster and not stink a bit healthier as well. Using either of my rigs always works better than using my pen.(gets me higher) As for tolerance all depends on what your usage is.
I live in Cali so access to all sorts of wax, shatter, BHO, sugar, etc definitely isn't an issue. It's more like the convenience of a small pen attracts me vs the still portable but larger flower vapes. Wax is huge out here and I just wanted to know what I was missing haha Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Don't stress to much at the end of the day it's still just weed, start small and see if you like it or not. I'm still new to it and tbh didn't like the high at first but was the same with weed in general then once I got use to it I love it. Most people I see that are really into dabbing don't use pens as there daily's, I assume there is a reason for that. My rigs cost me like $60 with a cheap titanium dome less nail and work fine as a starter.
Get a rig and limit yourself very small dabs. Its not like you have to immediately start taking globs. Oh and don't get any pens, they suck and are only a heated coil. Rigs are the shit
I c. I am in cali as well. Lots of spots have bho for sale but the majority of it is crap. You want light yellow\\golden color for wax and clear light color for shatter. Anything that is dark or runny stay away from. You can get a Gpen or something comparable. Stay away from the cloud pen as it is an inferior design. If your in LA area of So Cal I can tell you of a few good spots for concentrates.
I had the same problem as you. Just take a small dab you'll be fine. I used to stress it a ton before I got my oil rig (2 weeks ago) and I turned out fine. now i take several fat dabs several times a day lol. Just take a small dab to start and build up. You can always take another small dab. But once you smoke too much you can undo it
