Can I ask, how often do you consume and what vape do you use? I consume mostly for recreation (I have a medical reason but Ill just honestly admit the recreational factor is bigger for me because my health issue isnt that serious) and Im a daily smoker at this point. Sometimes I worry about the toll its taking on my physical health and I know vaping is supposed to be less taxing. My wife also uses daily and she actually has medicinal reasons/has a medcard. Ive looked into handheld vapes and tried a few, but Im a bong guy and nothing as of yet has compared to the feeling of hitting a clean, fresh bong. All you really get if you look for advice online are a bunch of ads and adbait articles about vape # 2973 being the best for you
I am a huge fan of my Volcano. Doctor told me to use a flower vape instead of smoking. Good life choice.
Is your volcano portable or desktop? Im a little familar with volcano but Ive never used or seen one IRL. None of my smoker friends vape flower, they all smoke it, but I do want to switch one day to mostly just vaping since it seems better for your health
Desktop. It’s expensive (a couple hundred bucks), butbit’s amazing. Had it for years, still trucking.
Just an update, I just earlier decided on buying an Arizier Extreme Q, which is a very well priced staionary vape with quite a lot of very very positive reviews from what I now have seen. I recommend it too.
I use constantly everyday, with an Arizier Solo 2. It keeps my head straight ironically, probably thanks to my ADHD.
I recommend a tinymight, volcano, arizier, storz & bickel, etc. All are good options in that order best to worst IMO, but all still good functional device brands with good options from portables to the volcano stationary vapes. They are really so much better than smoking for your lungs, and the feel overall is so much cleaner (plus you get AVB (already vaped bud) you can use for edibles or other stuff), so I highly recommend you getting her one of the ones I and the others here have recommended.
Feel free to ask any other questions, I'm open to them.
What would you recommend for stationary/desktop vapes? I own about 3 assorted flower vapes, all portable ones. Theyre okay, but breaking into stationary vapes seems a little more daunting to me. The only stationary ones Ive seen are the volcano brand. I own my home and weed is legal here so I usually just smoke inside my house in my living room or my gaming room.
I don't have one personally but I have friends with them and they all highly recommend getting the newer Volcano if you're looking for a stationary vape, gives you the option of the bag or a direct tube and pipe with good reliable heating, digital controls, etc. Other's I have heard use the Arizer Tower instead of a volcano and enjoy it, but I only know 1 person who mentioned owning one.
EDIT: I actually just bought an Arizer Extreme-Q, so I will report on how that goes. It was pretty good pricing for what it is.
Seconding the Volcano recommendation. If you want something more portable, the Mighty from the same company is a fantastic option as well. Another good flower vape is the TinyMight 2.
We recently started smoking concentrates, and the Dr. Dabber Switch is a great piece that does both concentrates and flower - they have some other models that are smaller but we haven't tried them yet.
