I'm going with yes, I vape for health reasons, I love the flavor, I like how you can control your high through different temperatures. Vapes are cool gadgets, and vaping is definitely cooler than smoking.
Smoked cigars, and strictly blunts. Century Sam n colts. When I lived in the US, black n milds... I HAD to stop smoking. Cut out the blunts, started vaping, cut out the cigars... Vape full time no smoke = personal improved quality of living
I was never a smoker of ciggies needed to get off the blunts, made the swap last year,
then 6 months later my old man got taken ill and was dead 2 within two months, turns out it was aggressive lung cancer.
I never blazed a j until my daughter was in bed so what I was conserving by vaping I'm now able to vape through the day & don't smell horrible
I'll just help myself to everything on the menu. I vape because it allows me to medicate without the more deleterious effects of smoking. I find it doesn't take as much of the wind out of my sails energy wise, and I predominately vape indica because sativas can leave me to spaced out. I also find the whole ritual enjoyable it takes the time and place of smoking cigarettes mostly. I like its hobby/collector aspect but not its expense lol, though I have almost cut my herb usage in half so long run I'm saving money.
He smoked from 13-40 but hadn't had a cig for 30+ years
He had worked in dock yards & around heavy industry for 25 years & did a lot of woodworking so it could have been a number of things, but looking back at old pictures its unbelievable they all managed to live to ripe old ages, people smoked everywhere,
Sorry for your loss , @Stants and thank you for sharing and talking about him . True woodworking isn’t easy on one lungs either . Same to you Rogue Guy, reading your stories is heart felt and a good reminder to be positive and better cherish the time with the ones we have in the present time .
I was a heavy bong smoker , I was tired of being tired , have mucus after bong hits, consumption wasn’t bad but still going by fast.
I started vaping for health and conservation , followed by flavour , smoothness , etc... vaping isn’t a cool thing in my neck of the woods , it’s why I hang out with you guys :nerd: lol
Around this time last year, I found a lump in my mouth. While on the phone to medical's there was talk of cancer, I took the joint that I was smoking out of my mouth and threw it in the gutter. That was my last bit of nicotine. I smoked bongs only for a couple of weeks, but Then I looked into vaping and bought An IQ. On 14th Sept 2018 I had it removed and the lump was taken for biopsy. Luckily it was a benign tumour with no other signs of anything darker. Since then I still Vape and am still nicotine free for just over a year now.
Happy days!!!!
Even thou the lump was nothing todo with smoking. I find the Flavour and efficiency of vaping sublime when compared to combustion and I will never go back.
I just noticed I never answered my own question. Seeing how I cared enough about each response to list them, I guess I’ll answer by rank. In reverse order.
5. Health - As far as I am concerned there has never been any correlation established between marijuana use (to include combustion) and health repercussions. May there be some? Sure. Do I care? No. I smoked cigs for around 40 years. I worked in chemical labs (with very little safety concerns) for over 10 years. I was on opioids for over 20 years.! Hell, I even had me a little cancer. Here’s the messed up part. I had bone cancer and there is little chance it had anything to do with how much I abused my body.
4. Because it’s cool - yeah @pam got it right. Vaping ain’t cool!
3. I like cool gadgets - if they come out with a lightsaber Ghost I’ll buy it. If I had more disposable income I’d have a Picard’s flute vapcap (dont think dirty thoughts).
2. Flavor - This is a biggie. Before I was able to get legal weed this would have meant little to me. Now that I get nice tasting weed on the regular I really wanna taste it.
1. Conservation - I can’t believe how much $$$ I’m saving by vaping. Last week I wrote an inventory of what I had and how long I had to make it last. I am passed that day (I think?) and I still have several days worth. I put the Mighty away a few days ago. The messed up part is how little the Mighty requires. Compared to the others my Mighty is a weed hog. I’ve been hitting the Ghost quite a bit. It’s perfect to use while doing other things. My Omnivap has been getting the most love lately. It uses so little!
