Hi guys,
I bought a cheap vape pen recently, an Aristech Herbva 5G: airis Herbva 5G Dry Herb Vaporizer Pen
It seems to do an OK job for the price, but I notice that a) I don't really get any visible 'vapor' from it and b) I seem to be smoking a lot more weed. I'm not really worried about the visible vapor but I just wasn't sure if I was supposed to be getting it or not... if I *am* supposed to be getting it and I'm not, combined with using more weed, I guess that might indicate it's not hot enough or something. But when I dump the contents after a couple of sessions (I usually have two good sessions from one chamber) it's nicely browned so I think I'm heating OK. I'm usually heating on the mid setting which is supposed to be 390degF but I can't vouch for the accuracy.
To be fair I'm going through more weed but I'm also getting way more stoned haha. When I smoke through a bong I seem to get bad anxiety quite regularly; I get tightness in the chest, my breathing sucks, and I get sort-of claustrophobic in my flat (it goes away if I go outside)... it happens for about 15 minutes after nearly every bowl. But through the vape I can smoke ALLLL night and I don't get that feeling at all, despite feeling more blazed. I do, however, seem to notice that the high doesn't last as long but subsequent hits of the vape seem to compound a lot more, so even one little hit when I feel like I'm coming down puts me right back up there.
So I guess I have two questions; is the lack of visible vapor normal and does anyone else notice real differences between the high from a vape and the high from a bong?
