My Experience with Vaporizers-Not So Good

[kratomist]

I have tried several different vapes over the last couple years,owning a volcano once for about a month,as well as 3 different portable ones. My experiences have been very mixed,and the persistent dry throat never really went away.

Fast forward to last night,and after several heavy hits from my magic flight launch box,which I put aside for a few weeks,suddenly I wasnt stoned anymore ,or so it certainly seemed. I was feeling very high before that from smoking my blunts,taking a few hits here and there ,because my lungs cant usually handle more than a few hits at a time anymore. Im 47 and have been a daily weed smoker,and I also was a heavy cigarette smoker for about 15 years. I believe that nasty habit probably did more damage to my lungs than the weed,even though Ive been smoking weed for twice as long.

Anyhow back to vaporizers. So today I thought I would give it another try,and this time after my first hit,I started feeling very lightheaded,dizzy like,and my muscles,started feeling very weak like I just had to sit down suddenly. Im not sure I will ever want to vape again after these experiences. I dont know anybody else that vapes by the way,and I know a LOT of weed smokers,so I dont know where all these vapor fans are besides these forums.

Are you sure that you're using the vape correctly? I vape from a magic flight box very frequently and I get super high from it and I stay high for a very long time. I never got nearly this high from smoking only from eating but with vaping you don't get all of the body load like you do from eating brownies.

I've used both a magic flight launch box and other brands of vaporizers and they never caused me any trouble. The vapor does sort of make me cough but I'm not inhaling air and I figure it's better to inhale THC vapor than smoke.

You said you get a dry throat from vapor try putting some tubing on your magic flight box and hook that up to a bong and filter the vapor through water or ice in the bong.

Maybe you should take a long break from all vaporizing and smoking any herb to let your lungs and respitory system to have a break heal up and lower your tolerance to THC, and then get back into vaporizing?

i think vaporisers do very little for heavy daily smokers. i used to have a valcano and though the taste was lovley and you could actualy determine the type of high based on vape tempretures; my tolerance was too high to enjoy it. didnt compare at all to a fat joint or couple bong caps. however, i have friends that said it got them more stoned than anything. i think the key to them is keeping your tollerance right.

While I do not prefer the vaporizer high to a smoked or oral dosage, I never felt dizzy or any of those other symptoms from smoking... and tolerance has never been a factor in regards to if I got high or not, only how high I got.
