First time buying.. what do I need? Cheap vapes?

    Hey guys, first post here. I'll be getting some herbs for my first time ever on my own, and embarrassingly I'm incredibly clueless. All through college I had major smoker friends who would always smoke me up at any moment, so it was always simple. I've never bought my own stuff or packed my own bowls or anything.
     
    My first idea is that I want a vape. I will only smoke very rarely.. once every week or even once a month maybe. But I'm only looking to spend around $50 max. I've heard this isn't enough for a reliable vape.. but with the amount I'll use it, and only for a few hits, can I find something good for this price? I see the Dube vape has good reviews at $45. If you guys really recommend against a vape my next choice would probably be a simple bowl until I buck up for a good vape or water bong. 
     
    Also, what else will I need? Is a grinder always necessary? How about storage? Can I store for a few months or so without my stuff going bad?
     
    Thanks a lot guys, hoping to learn a lot here

    i dont know anything about vapes but ive heard that anything under 100 is a waste of money. as for the grinder, yes thats pretty necessary since you want your weed very grinded for a vape. and for your last question about storage, i assume you mean weed. the answer is yes you can store it for many months depending on the place in which you storage it in. the best option would be a mason jar kept in a dark dry area.

    u say that now, you'll only use rarely. Well, we'll see about that :laughing: once u experience the herb you will probably change ya mind

    any vapes under $100 are not vaporizers, they combust, same smoke as a joint. u get what you pay for with vaporizers.

    wow, quick responses.. thanks.
     
    and ha.. I really won't be smoking up too often. I really enjoy it but I try to moderate myself. I lived with 6 other chronic users who would always be offering every hour of the day, but I like to save it more for special occasions. Anyway.. it sounds like it really doesn't matter my usage? If a cheap vape lights just the same as any other method what is the point?
     
    As for grinders and a bowl if I go that method, any suggestions on where to buy? I know there's a store here.. there's just a lot of stuff and don't know what to look for. Just want stuff with good reviews that I know will be solid.
     
    edit: I guess what I'm really looking for is a spoon pipe, not a bowl.. I think I was using the wrong word.

    exactly. there is no point for cheap vapes. but uneducated people buy into it. i got my 4 chamber grinder off amazon and my bowl off smokeday

    i do have to admit i was uneducated about it too when I used to be in the market for a vape, till i hit the city and asked

    Seen a nice glass water bong for 28 bucks on some site, had great reviews. 50 isn't enough for a vaporiser. You could get a nice glass pipe for under 50 though.

    I got this for $75 at a head shop. It does what it's made to do, save weed and your throat. The highs are just the same as smoking, but my first time using it, the high was way different and way stronger than smoking.

    Hey thanks guys. I ended up ordering just a simple spoon pipe from smokeday and I'm gonna do the grinder off amazon as well as suggested. Is there anything else you guys could think of that I'd need? 
     
    Also, a few things I don't know as well. About how much would I pack for myself or two people? Do I need to pack it a certain amount so that it burns properly, or does it not really matter? And how do I know when it's burned all the way? People I smoke with can always seem to tell when it's done.. I can never tell.

    With a pipe, you can tell it's done when you are trying to light it and nothing burns, and about how much to pack, well that depends on how high you wanna get, with good weed, I can get a nice high with 3 hits, but that's when I'm alone, when I'm with friends I prefer to take  at least 5 hits each, more if I want to be unable to speak.
     
    I used at most, 1 bowl for 3 people, usually even less than that, but be sure to buy a vaporizer when you decide that once a week is not enough, haha ;).

    Depends on the size of the bowl. My bowl only holds .12 grams when it's full

    Yea that's true, that's why I clarified the amount of hits too.

    Not much more accurate than bowl size lol some people can take 1g rips others can't take more than .05

    thanks again everyone. if I pack it too light, will it just burn up too quick, or can I just pack however much I want really? 
     
    Also, what if I don't want to smoke anymore but I didn't burn it all? Should I seal it back up for later.. or just leave it in the bowl and smoke it tomorrow?
     
    Also I guess most importantly.. do I have to do anything to my stash before smoking? I hear about seeds and stems all the time. I know good stuff doesn't have any.. but is it critical to check for these? Or does a few turns of a grinder get rid of these?

    When I throw the little stems in the grinder, it just mixes with the weed and it doesn't even hurt my throat. When I throw big stems in, it comes out stringy and I just don't put it in the bowl.
     
    But if it is a medium stem, I can't say. That's for you to find out...
     
    A stem can be vaped without hurting your throat

    1 big pinch should be enough for one. Just try it out

    1- Load in however much you want to smoke, you don't need to overpack it, no problem with doing it tho.
     
    2- Just leave it in the bowl if you're gonna smoke it tomorow, don't leave it in there for a year tho haha.
     
    3- As long as it's dried and cured you're fine, stems I would just throw away or make a tea if you don't have a vape, seeds I've never had to deal with, but i guess no point in smoking those.

    man if i were you i woulda just stuck with an apple pipe, they are the shit in my opinion as they are really really easy to make, and when you're done with it you can just eat it to dispose of the evidence. They work wonders too

    It's easier to buy a pipe for $10 or so than having to buy an apple each time you smoke.

    Before you put anything in the grinder, break up the bud with your hands a bit. Feel for seeds, and take all the flower/bud off the stems before you put it in the grinder.
