Help me figure out how to vape weed efficiently ?

[QcVaper]

So basically i've been a cannabis smoker for years now, though ever since it became legal ,i'm now interested in trying to vape it.
Sad thing is i have no clue how to proceed, everytime i tried vaping it, i end up with just a slight buzz and chocking hard compared to a simple joint.
I've tried various temperature and went as far as doing 2 bowls in a row, still no satisfying results. Should also mention i inhale both methods (mtl and dtl) simply because i like mixing.

What am i doing wrong ? Is it my inhaling method, is it my vape that's not full enough or is that simply how it works in general ?

Vaporizer i use atm is the boundless vape cfx.

Hi, or should I say not high lol. Not familiar with the boundless vape but I'm wondering how much weight the bowl holds, my vapes hold .10 of a gram, my typical joint is .5 so I need to vape 5 bowls to equal one joint, not factoring in the efficiency of joints versus bowls. I'm probably saying something you have already considered. I've found for me that around .08 works better than .10 usually vape 3 or 4 bowls per session so between .24 to .32 of gram per session, which can take longer than smoking part of a joint. Do you have a scale ? Might help to weigh your loads for a bit to know exactly how much is in your bowls then compare that to your typical joint size.

Hopefully someone with the same vaperizer will have some tips specific to the boundless for you.

I forget who, but somebody here uses that device and will hopefully come by to offer tips soon. I've not cared much for electronic vapes myself. I use a dynavap.

Cheers and good luck!

Unfortunately i've never measured any intakes and no scales to be found here, but judging by what you said i guess it's normal for me to need more than 1 bowl.
Sadly since i live in Quebec, i can't really smoke a joint indoors still because landlord says no -.-'
Also tried a "spoofer" ? didn't work out too well either apparently the smell goes out the door anyway lol.

It's not cheap but it is efficient. It is also time consuming, you clean it all the time, I warn you.

However, I have found (if you want to vape dry herb not wax) Da budda to be kind of good. You don't need more than you normally would, in some ways I would say less. I have smoked what is left over after vaping and it doesn't get me high at all. However, it is also not portable., you are cleaning the vape plastic tubes all the dang time, and you sort of have to adjust the heating element to exactly right for you. It is also expensive.

I'm not quite sure what a portable vape can do,, I imagine they have come a long way and etc. I'm sure you will find something workable at home. However should you want to non-portably vape, pay a lot, and clean plastic tubes all the time I am FAIRLY certain Da Buddah would get you fairly high much of the time and it is EFFICIENT.

Good luck,
Anna

@stols001 i had no idea you were into this stuff for reals lol.
Though for future reference i thought i'd update this: Turns out i was an idiot all along, after some research i found i could pretty much vape the same bowl twice before the thc was all gone, or vape it once to decarbonize it and then eat it in something like a nutella sandwich and apparently you can get the euphoria effect from doing this.

I have no clue if any of this is right but that's the conclusion i've gotten right now, if y'all have anything else to add or correct i'm all ears.

IMO, fully extracted material turns a dark, golden brown.

Blurry photo from google... I would run the ABV above once more at 200-210.

Experiment with how fine you grind and how dry your material is as well are starting with a low temperature.(vapor may not be visible, but the flavor is superb)
Increase temperature until you get the burnt popcorn taste. 3 to 5 "cycles"

What works best for vaping is often too wet for rolling. (The trichomes are on the outside of the material.)

ABV (Already Been Vaped) can be used to make capsules, processed into butter for cooking, added directly to foods that contain fats/oils or simply smoked.
YMMV

@QcVaper I'm not smoking now. Some stuff I know because I was the first Caregiver parent in AZ, my kid has fibromyalgia, and interstitial cystitis which I the WORST for a dude. MJ was what worked, and so when he was like, 15? I became a Caregiver MMJ mom, and the husband is a MMJ also, so (especially with the child) I get to see everything in action like a "wax nail" which is some strange but efficient contraption you use in a ceramic bowl .... to vaporize wax efficiently. It's cheaper and lasts longer if you are heading into your work day although I tend to prefer flower.

I had a MMJ (but I had to do stuff like put my license on inactive) because I WILL not use opiates and it helped a lot with the insane pain of my oral surgeries .I will say I smoked a bit longer after that but like, I don't partake (mainly for licensure reasons) and also it turns me batty as all get out.
IDK why, I mean I wrote both senior theses high as a kite for undergrad (Engl/philosophy) in college and graduated with a double distinction in both majors. IDK maybe it was just Mexican crap weed or maybe I wasn't on med then. But I functioned just fine. LOL.

These days, if I ever smoked dope which I am unlikely to do for any job that mandates drug testing which in my field is ALL of them and it's a Federal Mandate, so meh. I got to try some interesting strains (my favorite is Blue haze) but it was all kind of fun.

I don't think there is a thing wrong with it (even for me, except the legal issues.) I would not mind partaking every now and then on a Friday evening but I SURE would not drive and pretty much would not do ANYTHING honestly other than vegetate.

I'd dsay mine was about halfway (not totally brown, still had some greener bits in it), still decided to give it a shot. Went ahead and vaped a bowl, then used that same bowl and made a peanut butter sandwich. Starting small might be smart, depending how good it works i might actually start doing it more and saving that weed whenever i vape a bowl.

Have vaped the cartridges and they are pretty strong and work well.
When young so long ago some friends would gather around basement table and pass a bowl around packed it worked but went through a lot of marijuana .
What we found best was a 1 hit water filled bonge efficient and instant effects.
Of course the joint was always a favorite and still to this day is what is used daily here a few puffs and i'm good.

I love the cartridges and when ever I am in California I stock up. They will fit on any 510 mod too

Ended up buying a desktop vaporiser for my weed, 150$ later though i'm happily vaping my weed in a spoofer. Seems that fixed my problems for now lol. Still keeping joints for outside my home.
