Wedding Cake Joint
Personally, I'm a bit old school, I know there's a lot of dabbers out there, and vapes, I do the occasional rail when I'm out with friends.

But the joint is my mainstay, she's been a friend for a long time now, and I'm not abandoning her. I've smoked bongs and pipes, this and that, but nothing taste quite like, fresh weed from a joint.

I’m a joint man but I must admit I love my pipe filled with Strawberry Cough and topped with a liberal amount of Skafe as I call it fly me to the moon .......

Needs cleaning again but single bubble straight tube bongs for me going on 39 years.

I'm definitely the odd one out here, I essentially never smoke.

I just prefer the taste of vaporized bud/hash/concentrates so much more. My palate is super sensitive, and half the time when I smoke my high is spent looking for something to get the taste out of my mouth. My lungs are also similarly displeased.

Overall, I think it depends on strain. Some do best as hash, some do best as iso/bho or rosin extractions. It also depends on the desired effect. Shatter and rosin can have that sort of "zingy," twitchy high more frequently than hash, which is more mellow.

At the moment, however, I've got pressed and unpressed bubble hash of Kubanskiy Ubiyza and an iso concentrate from cleaning the bags. Triple Pakistan curing, and Blood Orange Sorbet as my vaped bud of choice at the moment.

Yea, I do that also, especially with finger hash after the harvest, I've got a small pipe exclusively for that purpose (and the very occasional opium laced bud).

My wife has terrible epilepsy, so she tends to squash the joints with her fingers, because she's got uncontrlled twitching and shaking, so I've got her lots of different pipes and whatnot. Here a just a few of them. I also keep her a load of glass inserts, so she can swap them out of her silicone pipes, when they get clogged, and I clean them in mass. She's always getting them clogged up, and can't draw of them.

I like using the 2 on the bottom left and the alien pipe in the bottom center.

My wife has got me a new GRAV rocker with silicon wrapped for my birthday next weekend I've got my solo cup heads curing for the break in of new pipe .

I just like occasional hits from the pipe. But eventually i want to get some sort of way to make my own extract for carts to vape.

I'm with kanzeon on this one I'm not a big joint smoker. When my brother or a good friend is over that's when I usually smoke.

My go to is my V tower, for dry herb. I make my own concentrates. Iso winterized for slicking papers or cooking, and shatter for my manual dab rig or my enail.

No that I'm back to growing I've been smoking more. I believe smoking dried herb is the only way to tell the quality of the plant as commercial concentrates have additives like terps whatnot for consistency.

This is another huge point.

I think that most steps of refinement, or the processes used, lead to less rounded highs. Vaping flower is the "purest" representation of the bud's expression, then hash, then rosin, then solvent-based processes. Most shatter highs are barely a facsimile of the whole bud, but there's more THC so they're considered "stronger."

There are cannabinoids in the plant material that are left behind when making extracts. The more thorough the extraction, the more impurities it's going to have (ie: letting buds sit too long in iso so it pulls out chlorophyll).

I agree with the point made, depending on method of consumption. I've had some RSO that just was excellent, chlorophyll and all, and some of the best high's I've had come from extracts of them leaves themselves. I've had some very potent RSO's, but they were eaten.

Yeah, I've been toying with pressing and curing half of a hash wash (only the 22 micron bag), and then combining that with an iso extract made from washing the bags and evaporating off the iso. Interestingly, a combined dab of hash and iso extract feels more "rounded" in terms of high than either on their own.

Once the full spectrum stuff from each wash dries, I'll just start adding that into the mix.

It definitely seems to intensify the incense flavors, and there's much more of a body effect. Especially when crossing strains- the Triple Pakistan hash (that I have not been super impressed with on its own so far) becomes gotdamn Cripple Pakistan when dipped in some of the Platinum GSC.

I feel like my fucking blood vessels are hallucinating right now.

Happily, I haven't consumed by combustion for ten years or so. I usually vape flower, but also enjoy low temperature (controlled by enail) dabs. I favor live resin, and I've found Lemon G really helpful for some medical issues.

Do you use a portable flower vaporizer? If so what kind? Been think about tryin to vape, already press my own rosin and use a puffco plus for portable use

What do you consider low temp for enail

 

[Dirtbag]

I am a joint guy 100%. I use 1.25 zig zags.

But, I cant imagine smoking as much leaf as Frankster has rolled up there! Holy moly... I try to clean the buds up a bit more than that before chopping them up to roll lol.

 

[JadedMarxist]

Here my main go-to device my vtower and my henail

Excuse the mess there in now just got some iso for some deep cleaning

I am still running a portable - Pax 2. When I first got into vaping, I couldn't have a table top unit sitting around, so I went portable. I do plan on getting a table top unit, but haven't even starting shopping for one. I have the controller on my enail set at 570 to give me 430ish in the quartz bowl. It's higher than it could be, but if there is any THCV/CBC I want it.

Made me cough just looking at it. to each there own aye?

 

[Nate_in_AK]

I'll throw in my vote for dry-herb-vaporization. Honestly, I would probably just smoke, but I HATE the taste of "burned" flower. I use an Airizer Solo; usually with a bong adapter to bubble through water.

 

[mikeross]

Joints when I'm out and about... at home its ice bong rips or dabs with rosin.
