vaping questions

Discussion in 'Experienced Cannabis Enthusiasts' started by jamiejames420, Jan 9, 2013.

  1. So I've been smoking for some time ... And decided I would try a vaporizer. Purchased a new magic flight launch box ...and Suprisingly I was not happy with vaping as I get none of my kb flavor ..it all tastes like burnt popcorn .. this is the second vaporizer I've tried and got the same results.. sucks to vape something tasty into something burnt tasting ... Is this really normal ?? Thinking I'm sticking to smoking so I get my flavor hits ;)

    So is this normal ?? Thoughts and advice welcome ;).
     
  2. Iv never tried the mflb, I Wernt from a shitty 70$ vape to the volcano digit and I love tht thing, I only vape now,get the most flavorful hits, I only do bong with my glowwands, I'd suggest trying kief in it, or some more crystaly bud, that brings out alot of flavour/ also I think there's a mflb forum/ sorry for no helpful info but I would suggest keep trying to vape, once u get used to it youl enjoy it more then smoking and itl get u so much higher, off way less too!! / also if it has a temp control( don't know if it does) but if it does lol try and turn it up more or test diff temps out, I go through 4 dif demp settings when I vape, 77,80,87,95 all ferenheight
     
  3. It has a preset temp .. so you can't change that .. its great for being out in public .. but the downside is no tasty ..and why ruin some yummy good stuff ?? Lol .. I've tried several with the same result ... Thinking ill stick with my glass peices .. and maybe sell the mflb. I did like the high ..but I miss the flavor ...
     
  4. If you have been smoking bowls/pipes for a long time, I can tell you from experience that it will take a little adjustment before your senses opened up to the full flavors of good vapor. I smoked for 6-7 years straight before switching to vaping and it was a slow transition for me.

    At first, everything tasted like popcorn. My current friends who smoke say the same thing when they try my vapes, but I am turning some minds slowly.

    Now I am the other way around: Bowls and Pipes taste like shitty ash to me, and vaporizers taste like full unaltered herbs with all the subtleties.

    My favorite varporizer for taste is by far the Inhalater INH004, followed by the VapeXhale Cloud, followed by the HerbalAire. I rank the Volcano last on my list if I am judging only by taste.


    By far more common than "popcorn taste" is "breakfast taste" to me when vaping now. That's a flavor I get when I am vaping a bit too hot, or just towards the end of a load being "cached". I always start with medium temps to get the flavinoids. Hit some Mango Kush last night and it was absurd in the vapes.

    My buddy I smoke the most with is basically a convert now. He is borrowing my HerbalAire because it tastes so good and he hasn't smoked since borrowing it. But it took him several months to get to that point.
     
  5. i know with the mflb u can over heat the weed causin it to taste bad and or harsh
     
  6. Yes I have smoked for Damn near 20 years .. so that may be the reason. All the reviews for the mflb were great for a personal vaporizer .. but I'm personally not happy with taste off of it . I can't adjust temp on it ..but have watched all the videos available for it and I'm doing the same thing they are .. just don't like the taste results .. hate to spend money on another one for fear of going through the same thing. Was just kinda wondering if others experienced this as well..for now ill stick to my spoons and bong ;)
     
  7. My buddy loves his..but he told me its easy to over heat it
    Took him a few times to get it dwnloaded

    I wanna grab an extreme q n hook it up to my bong
    Plus if u got sum concentrates u can put it on 100% cotton n vape that Shit
     

  8. I wholeheartedly recommend the Extreme Q. Amazing flavor from 170-200c
    The tiny amount of weed I use in an elbow pack is ridiculous. Plus I always have the bag option for when friends are over.
     
  9. It shouldn't taste like that. Vaporized bud should taste better, not worse, than burning it. I'm sure you'd enjoy a good one, although like you said, most like the MFLB, although not all.
     
  10. If you overheat the bud, it'll taste like burnt popcorn

    The MFLB is a bad vape to try using as the technique is critical to getting good tasty hits

    try another vape
     

  11. i read its pretty much a full bag per .1 of bud..pretty sweet

    thats xactly what i wanted to do..use the bag for when friends r over and elbow/whip for whipping/vape bonging

    whats the diff with the cyclone blowl and elbow????
    cyclone bigger??? made more for the bag????

    thanks in advance
     

  12. I originally used the cyclone bowl for bags, and the elbow pack for the whip, but I found that I just like to use the elbow pack for both now. Cyclone is fine if you don't mind sitting there puffing on the whip for awhile . . . the elbow is more like a regular "hit" off of a bong, joint, etc. The nice thing about the cyclone bowl is it doesn't really require much stirring. You might have to unload the elbow pack once, stir, and reload if you vape the same material on different temperatures.

    I'll still use the cyclone bowl for bags if I want to blow several in a row and don't want to re-pack.
     
  13. sweet
    so i will be using the cyclone along with the bag when friends are over andd elbow for myself for whip/vape bong

    man this makes me want to get one tomorrow after work
     

  14. Sounds perfect.

    I like to vape my herbs three different times: 185, 205, and 230C
    You'll be amazed at how high you can get off a little bit in an elbow pack! Don't forget the importance of letting your unit/glass heat up for a few min once it reaches temperature.
     
  15. If u stick to bongs get a glowand if u want flavourful bong hits, but for vape I suggest try a better vape and stick to it for a bit, everything takes a tiny bit of commitment, I suggest a better vape,that should mayb do flavour trick, cuz ur starting out with a really small portable one and that one in particular doesn't seem like itd gve u alot if flavour, but something like the pax, that has flavour and is almo as small as that
     
  16. Try the Pax
     
  17. I will look into that one jtwpayne.. Ty ;)

    Dang..at 249.00 for the pax ... I can almost get a volcano ... Lol

    Thinking i might just get a percolator .. and wait for a great affordable..portable vaporizer to come out.
     

  19. I hated the MFLB it seemed to just sort of spark, scorch and combust. What was left in the trough was blackened. I used it a couple of times then shelled out for the volcano and also the iolites, both original and wispr. Volcano had no learning curve or "getting used to it". The very first time I used it it didn't seem to get me high. Thought this vape thing is emperor's new clothes. But after that second try -- all I can say is wow! No question. Haven't combusted in five years.
     
  20. Yes I agree about the mflb..I may decide to try another but for now I'm happy with what I'm doing ;)

    Thanks to everyone for their input ;)
