Vaping weed

How many of you vape?
It sounds healthier than joints/bongs and doesn't need to be mixed with tobacco to smoke
What unit can I buy that is well made and doesn't cost more than a decent pipe would?

I would try vaping first before committing to it. I have spent money over the years buying a Volcano and a vape pen. In the end I still roll or just hit a pipe. They are now sitting in a box somewhere for when friends come over as a novelty.

I do. I far prefer vaping to combustion when I'm smoking by myself (which is most of the time). You probably won't find any good reliable vapes for anywhere near the price of a decent pipe though. I personally use the Silver Surfer which is a wand-based vape, so it's far superior for single person use than bag-types like the Volcano. IIRC the SSV ran me about $315 when I bought it back in February, but it's already paid itself off and then some with the amount of weed I've been saving by using it,

I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

I've never mixed weed and tobacco. You can, but it isn't needed, with or with out vaping.

Yeah it seems like some people are under this impression, particularly in Europe. Weed burns just fine on its own unless it's not dry enough.

I've been vaping for 8-9 years now. I really only smoke when there is no other choice.
I have had a couple of these vaporizer boxes, http://www.vaporbrothers.com/.
These boxes are my favorite. The flavor from a vaporizer blows away any combustion device. Some people claim to not get as high from vaporizing, but there is a technique and learning curve. When people come over that don't like vaping, they try my box, on my settings and they ALWAYS get high and love the flavor. I've just been vaping for so long, I know what temp to set to get the max vapor and flavor. Each batch of bud is a little different. So buds I need more heat than others based on moisture content.

Cool
I'm interested in vaping mainly because I live a healthy lifestyle (no cigarette smoking and frequent weight-training) and suppose vaping should allow me to get high without the negatives associated with cones & joints?
I was a heavy smoker in the past and my health was terrible

Coming from someone who looks at flavor as a big factor in strain quality, vape. dont be cheap you get what you pay for. I got the extreme q. you can use the bag setting or the whip. For flavor I prefer the whip. You also don't destroy a whole bunch of cannabinoids in the bud with vaping like you do with combustion there for being more efficient with your stash, you can also used the vaped bud for edibles.
the only down side is now when ever i take a bong rip and here people saying "omg it tastes so good" all i can think is "no it tastes like ash i want my vape"
If you are getting good, medical grade organically grown bud. go vape. don't waste the hard work that the plant and growers put into that terpene production.

Silver Surfer is great, have had mine for about 6 or 7 years now and still going strong.
Not sure if they still do custom glass work, but they did at the time and my vaporizer is easily among my favourite pieces.

Vaping is great, I recommend it I've got a pax that works pretty good for a portable handheld unit. Which is great because I'll use it in my car at work and stuff.
But you should never mix your weed with tobacco. Totally unnecessary. Burns just fine on its own - in a bowl, bong, joint, blunt, whatever I put it in. Works like a charm, no tobacco necessary.

I prefer vaping over smoking and would highly suggest it.
I switched over back in 2010- I like it a lot better, got a fancy vape after getting a normal simple one.

I've a decent vape and only paid $25 on craigslist. It was never used. Pretty awesome
I prefer vaping but I find that some weed doesn't taste as good when its vaped. I haven't figured out why yet.

Well mine is set to celcius which I hate but when I vape sativas, usually more citrusy strains I aim for 190-195 which some may even say is still a bit hot. For indicas 210-220. If you have not tried vaping hash... now there is a treat. Vaped a mix of white indica, aganet orange, jamaican dream, blue dream and gdp scissor hash and omg the flavor was out of this world. Imo blew any e-juice flavor out of the water

Vaporbrothers will cost me about $250AU
Definitely getting a vaporizer soon once I can afford it. Is there any differences between Silver Surfer & Vaporbrothers since its an extra $70 for Silver Surfer and the only differences I can see is it isn't as bulky as the Vapor Brothers and more aesthetic.

I have one like the vapor bros it sounds like a ez bake over going off the more generic ones are like 120 cuz the heating elelment is ceremic it really doesn't matter so long as you remember it gets how and the glass whip warps onto it.
