Flower vs. Concentrate

I like to vape. Why? It is fun and new.
Watching weed vaporization mature and grow these last 15-20 years has been a blast, and then concentrates hit the scene, which are even better for this form of administration. Really, the last ten years and the last five mainly, have been where dabs have taken over the vaporization market.
I dig dabs. They are the hardest hit you can get.
But, these pen vapes and mods are awesome. Dabs from a rig can be brutal.
So, where do you stand on this issue, and why?

Dabs all the way. It's just tastier and stronger. Less irritation in the long run. It might make you cough harder than weed at first but your throat won't be skratchy later. Better for your lungs. Flower hurts my throat anymore.

I have never tried concentrates of any sort, so have no opinion. I am curious to try some -since my dispensary is pretty well stocked- but the methods for using the arizer solo for concentrates seem a bit involved
what is the difference, between concentrates and herb? just stronger or is there more to it than that?

I prefer flowers simply because I like the act of smoking.

I like both but the bong hurts my throat a lot. My rig never hurts my throat. The rosins that have been going round lately here in the dispensaries are the shit!

I enjoy dabs but prefer bud honestly. At this point I think it's because of the ritual. I love sitting down with the squad and rolling up a few fat joints to smoke between us. Dabs do get you fucking obliterated (which can be nice) but I just prefer smoking/vaping bud. Plus dabs pretty much take me from 0-100 after the first one. When it comes to bud I like to smoke a joint/bowl and see how I feel before getting higher.

Don't smoke a bunch of weed and expect an oil high, nor smoke a little oil and get a weed high.
I found the cheapest way for me to smoke is a little weed and a little hash. Just hash or just weed I blow through it fast.
. I've been smoking about an eight to quarter of oil a week and good weed absolutely still gets me high. I don't believe anyone that says they dab alot and still don't get high from weed. It's the difference between the immediate effect of oil vs weed that people make them think they didn't get high. Do a dab and your lit within two minutes, smoke a joint and you may not feel fully high till 15 minutes later.
. If i want to get high quick and conveniently ill do a dab. Of I want to smoke, like sit and smoke a bunch of stuff ill smoke weed.

Concentrates, if you are getting good shit then there is no better flavor. Just the variety. I do love vaping but it gets a bit popcorny tasting after a bit. Some of the most high moments I have had have been off of my extreme q after like 5-7 bags.

I only smoked flowers for the first 12 years of my union with Cannabis.
I took my first dab 3 years ago on the 4th and just about died. So I just wrote it off..
Fast forward 2 1/2 years and I started working at a vape shop. All my coworkers were getting was shatter. Really, really good shatter. I ended up enjoying it so much at first by dabbing via an RDA coil/30w mod but that was child's play.
Since then I've gone through a series of oil rigs which I absolutely adore. The "Atmos Kiln" is also an awesome device for concentrates if you're on the go. Nothing on the market comes even close. Aside from the liquid oil pens, everything else just doesn't match up IMO>
Over the last couple months I/we've formed a pretty good relationship with Vader Extracts through a third party and I really can't see myself going back to flowers. Concentrates save me money, get me higher, and are more convenient for me.
With all this said, the few times I've had actual bud recently, I've vaped it out of a PAX knockoff given to me not too long ago because smoking simply hurts my throat now .
There is one thing that's missing with dabs, the CBD. So, now I'll take ~300mg CBD in the morning to balance out all the THC infiltrating my body.

Their Fruity Pebbles strain blew my mind recently. Really divine!
Here's the current haul for the next couple weeks or so:

I wish it was more readily available out here only a couple of delivery services carry them.
Right now I've got some Grimace OG "crumble" but it looks like sugar wax.

I understand. I think where I live might be one of the least accessible places in the country to get it. Just happened to meet the right people at the right time.
Crumble is something I've only had once so far. No idea what strain it was, but it sure tasted lovely.
I'd love to try some CO2 concentrates in the near future. Just about everyone I talk to in legal/med states tell me it's where it's at now. Any experience with it?

It's funny because I keep trying to tell my boss about it (mmj wholesaler) and he doesnt want to hear it lol he is convinced it's shit. I on the other hand have had some good shit that was sold as co2 no idea if it really was but it seemed so. But I've also tried some where every strain tasted the same.

I usually just smoke flower. I'll partake in concentrates on occasion depending on what kind of rig is being used because some of my friends are really into dabs - but I'm a pansy about harshness, and I really don't need much to get me where I want to be in terms of the high - I'll green out and go into a mini-coma on friend's couches if I don't watch myself - so I don't indulge super often. I'm also pretty into keeping my tolerance somewhat manageable.

dabs fuck your tolerance and only lasts like 20 min. thanks but no thanks.
i can reach not getting any higher with flower but dabs always seem like a good idea, even when it is just a complete waste of supplies and you are hitting again in 5 to 10 min cause why not?
i have 3 dab rigs and don't even bother, get a better high of of quality flowers.

After my homie gave me my first dab I knew that was the only way to go for me. Been daily dabber since for the past 3 years.
To the people that complain about tolerance issues all I can think is that you get straight garbage for flower. I can get high off flower just fine after a joint.
