Anyone have any experience of them and any advice? Haven't had a smoke in a while and I have been really tempted recently but want to avoid actually smoking if I can. He says they didn't do anything for him but he's always sceptical with things. I have it on reasonable authority that these are pretty good, although there are fakes doing the rounds also. LBJ's advice above is also good. I've caught myself out repeatedly with this sort of thing, although not for a number of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edibles do effect you differently than a ‘smoke’ in both time and impact. Most people get caught out with edibles as they’re ‘this doing nothing’ then take more. The problem is there taking more before it kicks in. They take at least 60min ,probably longer, with gummy as chewable and needs to be digested. More likely a higher high for a longer time particulary if not used to them. Start slowly take 1 and leave 90min-120min, if no effect take another. Repeat process. Also don’t drive anywhere next day. Good advice thanks. It's 500mg a packet, I think he said it equates to 50mg per jelly. I think I'll try one on Saturday night and see where it goes before trying another as I don't have to drive on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always “solid” back in the day whereas it’s actual bud now which through me a bit. He gave me enough for a few single skinners which I must admit I really enjoyed.

She advised (strongly) not to vape any THC at all. They also mentioned nicotine, but THC a definite no-no. Found this article, too https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/ne8eqq/vaping-deaths-2019-is-vaping-safe I believe the issue with this turned out to be the flavourings folk were adding to homemade e-juices. As I understand it, you're under no risk of suffering the same problems over here as the flavourings used aren't available this side of the Atlantic.

A healthier way to do so from all I have read albeit still early days. My mate makes his own weed vape juice (J-juice as he calls it). All it contains is PG, VG, nicotine and whatever is extracted from the bud. It's exactly the same stuff you'd find in normal vape juice, except the artificial flavourings have been replaced by a natural one that gets people high too!

Ritchez Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I vape it pretty much every weekend. I use a dry herb vape (not a liquid vape like one of the previous posters) and whilst the high is just as good as smoking, the smell is no where near as potent. Keeps neighbours happy as, unlike smoke, won't penetrate any walls and goes away pretty quickly. Smoked it originally (joints and bongs mainly) for about 6 months but found that vaping is much easier on the lungs. I never use tobacco - completely ruins the experience in my view. Find it mind blowing that it still isn't legalised here. Literally nothing bad has happened to me or anyone else since I've been a user of weed (apart from feeling a little nausceous the first time I got high). It's a great way to unwind, makes everything more interesting and makes food taste incredible. I've benefited immensely from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchez Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 One thing I do hate is that you can fail a roadside drug test sometimes days after consumption. Of course no one should ever drive when high, but the fact you can lose your license for merely having trace amounts in your system from days prior is ridiculous. I think it's because there's no standardised measurement for THC, unlike alcohol. I never drive the day after, but even after 2-3 days I'm a little nervous getting behind the wheel, even though I'm in no way impaired.

IMO a dry herb vaporiser is way to go. They are much healthier, easier and quicker to use, way more efficient than smoking, your high can be tailored by altering vape temp, whilst from a social point of view it a lot less obvious in terms of drawing attention to actions. The technology and hence the quality of them has improved dramatically over the last view years there are loads out there that suit any budget, though you tend to get what you pay for. I would argue you get a payback as it just so much more efficient than other methods Whilst, if your so inclined you can reuse the vape for edible, the thc has been activated so I think it’s just and add, plus there are other reclaim options if you wish I have a number of different ones, which I used for different situations. If you are just into dry herbs I would recommend the da Vinci iq. It most similar experience to a joint whilst vaping I have found. It’s a small portable vaporiser which can be palmed for maximum discretion. So in these ones you actually just put normal weed in it rather than the THC liquid you can get? Take it you just grind it and add how much you want? Hence the dry herb name, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always have, even when not smoking it. 4 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: Yes. You get your weed/flower grind it down, as if you were going to roll a joint. You fill a chamber in vaporiser with weed. The chambers are actually quite small as vaping is that efficient, so you generally just fill it up. Though you can partial fill if you want. It then applies a heat source to the weed but not directly so you get the vape as opposed to a burn product/smoke. Just plain old weed no other ingredients. That’s a major attraction to me. There is a little bit of playing about to find your zone with them. As I say you can control the type of high you get to a degree by temp you use. Plus you can real get the flavour of the weed vaping The da Vinci iq only does dry herd but you can get other such as pax 3 which will do both dry herb and solid (hash). You do have to clean them every so often but it’s a fairly straight forward process. I’m definitely a convert to them. Cheers, that's really helpful and I think I'm going to invest. I used to smoke fags but managed to stop completely unless I'm out on a heavy session, so I've been feeling guilty/worried about using tobacco regularly again since I started the weed up.

Riddley Walker Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I obviously knew the weed vape was out there but thought it was only the THC liquid.
