Alright so ive been wanting to use a vaporizer for going on a few months now, but since im a poor college kid i dont have the funds to buy my own nor did i know anyone that had one. well i mentioned it to my friends while smoking a bowl the other day and it turns out that my friend's sister bought a vape a while ago and she said she would be willing to sell it. my friend borrowed it from his sister to test it out before any money was spent and i cant wait to use it tonight! So what should i expect? Are there any tips or advice i should know about to make the most out of my first session? I'll probably post an update later tonight for anyone interested. stay high my friends
FIRTS and foremost, don't expect to get couch locked or feel that really heavy body high you get from smoking. Vapes can get you stoney, but its never as heavy as a bong will. Instead you'll probably get a really clean, clear, trippy head high. Also, try to hold in your hits for at least 5 seconds, although I usually go for 10-15. The reason for this is that vapor is all air, water, and cannabinoids, so the longer you hold it in the more cannabinoids your body will absorb. Also, be patient during the session. Chances are you won't get hit by the high train immediately after your first hit. I find that vapes tend to sneak up on you. For example, i was sitting down outside hitting my pax one of the first days i had it. I had just about finished the oven load and thought "well shit, this is kinda disappointing, I don't really feel like this thing is working." Then I tried to stand up hahaha Enjoy it man, vapes are great. EDIT: also, don't freak out if you end up coughing. THC irritates the throat/lungs and will make you cough occasionally. That and the temperature of the vapor you're inhaling can sometimes irritate the throat enough to cause a cough or two. I find that having a drink on me helps, as a sip of water/soda/etc immediately remedies the irritation.
Great post thanks! and i saw that you have the extreme q in your sig. how is it? ive heard some good stuff about it and if i were ever to buy a vape id probably get that one but its good to hear from someone who has first hand experience

It's ability to work as both a whip and bag vape make it great. And it does both pretty damn well. If you do end up getting one, be sure to always pack the small screen in the elbow with your herb for thicker hits. It's a great vape for just relaxing to some music, a movie, etc. That said a session with my eq usually lasts twice as long as with my solo or pax, but the flip side is you get twice as medicated.

One last thing: make sure you use a grinder for your herb, as it makes your vape more efficient
