Hello! I’m trying to transition away from smoking myself (I use medically and recreationally) because smoking is bad for your lungs, but nothing really beats the instant relief from smoking some flower. I personally haven’t tried one yet but I’ve heard a lot of people use a dry herb vape to some success.
I switched to a dry herb vape, and honestly I see no reason to go back. The only advantage I see with combustion is that you can light up quicker, but honestly waiting one minute or less for the dry herb vape to heat up isn’t a big deal. The taste is better, I’ve found the high to be a bit nicer, there’s less smell if that matters to you, and it generally feels much cleaner. A huge advantage is that it makes weed last much longer. For me, about 1/3 of a normal bowl using the dry herb vape gets me just as high as a full bowl in a pipe or bong. I also like that it preserves the ritual of grinding and packing the “bowl”, as I find it relaxing. Regular vapes always feel too easy, if that makes any sense. I was hesitant to buy in initially because the vape alone was about $100 (Planet of the Vapes One), but I’m certain it will pay for itself quickly. I’m overall extremely happy with dry herb and recommend it to everybody. There are also tons and tons of options for dry herb vapes now, so you can get pretty much exactly what you want. I’m also happy to answer any questions if you’re curious!
Thanks I'll definitely have to do some more research into this. The odor is what I need to avoid to stay under the radar, but I'll look into this before my next interstate shopping trip!
I don’t know if there are other options out there, but the smoke buddyhas worked well for me. It’s a pretty simple device, and basically just acts as a filter for your exhaled vapor. You literally just put it up to your mouth and exhale into it, and it filters 100% of the smell out. If you combine it with dry herb vaping, you shouldn’t smell much of anything aside from the not very pungent smell that comes from the weed heating up in the dry herb vape. To me, that smells mostly like something being toasted, not a strong weed smell.
