that's what I've been telling myself to get. I have a Pax v1 now and like the way it fits in your hand. but I want something different

Just evaporate it all off and there won't be the side effects. I'd rather use that than iso for edibles. kinda pricey method for topical lotion tho.

You mean the Pinnacle? it's doing great, just as before. My first one lasted nearly two years although I did have to have the battery replaced on it about 4 months in. The only reason I had to get a new one was because my first was lost during a move.
This is my first go 'round with making any sort of concentrate
how would I thin it out for topical? more alcohol?

You bring up a good point. I used mine several times a day back when I had the first one, because the high didn't seem to last as long as actually smoking the herb.
Is that your experience as well? I've heard you don't get as much THC vaping as you can from actual combustion...

I dont vape at all tbh. I use the wax pen. I have gotten a dry herb vape attachment, and it just burned it . Ive heard this from others too.

Absolutely! Not sure what is going on as to what chemicals are doing what, but vaping I find a more pure/clean heady type of high. Not a head rush either, a creeping type of head high that seems to stop/end very quickly/abruptly. Whereas a combustion high tapers off in a sense. Not just you're high then you're not which vaping seems to do... If that makes any sense whatsoever lol
I substitute my smoking with vaping. Instead of ripping down 20 cones a day I'll only smoke a couple (mostly in the morning/before bed) and vape throughout the day. I mix up my vapes too. Rotating between herb, concentrate and ejuice. Finding it works quite well. My lungs feel 2000% better for it.

You nailed it! That's been my experience as well. Glad that you've had good experience with vaping, I'm really trying to get away from smoking so much myself. What kinds of concentrate do you use? I refuse to make/do dabs, seems to be more cost and trouble than worth the effort..Absolutely!

I'm making my first batch of butter as we speak and I've had some experience with weed ejuice that I made a few years back. It was a two hit, quit and sleep type. Not what I was hoping for but it worked great for insomnia
I've got a new mod that I'm trying to work into my routine well enough that I can stop analog cigs permanently.

I used vaping to give up the durries too. I was a heavy smoker (full strength, pack a day) and mostly used my little aspire K1 on a spinner II to quit. Took me quite a while to get myself into the new routine. In the end I found I was going for the vape over the ciggs. Which I believe many people who stick with it ending up doing themselves. I think it's about finding what's right for you. There are so many variables to vaping (power, temp control, delivery methods, nic strength, flavours, inhaling techniques just to name a few). Tinkering with each one only slightly can completely change the experience.You nailed it! That's been my experience as well.

Now we throw weed into that equation and it just opens a can of worms! Haha!
My only advice is stick at it and try all the little variations. See if you can find your sweet spot. Put your nic vape device next to your ciggs so it's there as well. A large part of using the vape to give up is the loss of convenience that you get with ciggs. Vaping you need to be prep'ed well. Have multiple backups in case something runs out of battery, fails, etc.. Stable stocks/suppliers of nic ejuice is also very important.
Convenience is probably the hardest aspect to get over. Nothing easier than going to the store buying a pack and lighting up. Run out of juice, flat battery and flat backups means you gotta hold out until you get yer shit back together... lol Much the same with weed too. It is much cheaper, easier to just pack a cone and flame it up. A sacrifice I guess you just have to make.
I'm still experimenting on my ejuices but can't seem to go past qwiso > heated with pg to blend. Bubble was a tad too dirty for ejuice. I'm running a test atm with some herb soaked in pg/vg and a 50/50 mix of each for a few months (which I found here - method 2). I really like the qwizo batches I have done. Powerful, able to water down quite a bit. The thick one hitting stuff clogs your gear fast. Probably best to build your own coils for this as you can tear through them quite fast.
