A few questions about vaping/smoking in general

  1. Hey GC, i'm a bit of a noob so if any of these questions could be answered it would be much appreciated!

    1) How much weed will vaporizing save (with a box vaporizer like vaporbros) in your experience?

    2) Do box vaporizers (e.g.vaporbros) make any noise?

    3) Do vaporizers give you a build up of phlegm in the back of your throat?

    4) Does vaporizing give you yellow teeth?

    5) when hitting a bong is it fine to leave smoke in the chamber and cover the mouthpiece with your hand? (will this cool the smoke down more?) (does this mean my bong-hitting technique is wrong?)

    6) I have noticed a lot of smoke coming out of the cone piece after i hit a bong, how would i stop this?

    7) When you pack a bowl/cone, are you supposed to 'snap' the bowl before putting more weed in it, or does it not matter.

    8) are you supposed to get rid of the ash in the bowl after 'snapping' it and then pack more weed into it, or just leave the ash there?

    9) How fine should you chop your weed?

    10) Are screens necesary for bongs? will a lot of weed fall through if you dont use one?

    Thanks in advance
     
  2. 1) I believe vaping is supposed to get 95% of the THC, smoking only 12%... theoretically a lot.
    5) Most people like it hit it until their lungs are almost full then let go of the carb or remove the bowl from the stem to clear it, filling their lungs completely, although in my circle it is perfectly acceptable to leave the chamber full and cover the top while you exhale, especially if you're doing a cone each instead of one rip each.
    6) Cover it with the lighter. This will cause you to need to relight more frequently... I personally don't bother especially as it means putting out a cherried cone and having to torch it with a lighter to get it going again and torching with a lighter is not good for maximising the THC you're getting.
    7) What?
    8) I clear a bowl of ash by tapping it out against a table or something or if it is stuck, blowing through the opposite side than you light from.
    9) You should see little tiny clusters on the bud - start by breaking each of those off of the bud... there's good, maybe a little more... experimet, personal preference comes into play here.
    10) Depends how wide the hole is and how fine you chop your weed. Try it out, if greens fall through use a nug just larger than the hole at the bottom of the cone, then continue to pack and grab some screens next time you're in a headshop.
     
  3. thanks man; question 7 i meant is it ok to put more weed in the cone before you've finished the cone e.g. re-filling the cone after taking a couple of hits....if that makes sense
     
  4. sense when do you get yellow teeth from weed? lol
     
  5. Weed won't give you yellow teeth no matter how you are smoking it. If you smoke cigs you get yellow teeth because of the nicotine.
