Happy 420 ! let me take this opportunity to give a general advice : dry vaping is much, much, MUCH better for your lungs than smoking. I've dropped smoking entirely now, it even seems absurd to think about. Try it !
I've taken up on this advice from a different commenter on my previous post and have ordered one. I'll have it in hands around 1st May - quite looking forward to it!
I only get the bad effects of smoking with a dry herbs vaporizer, not the good ones. At the recommended 180-200 degrees it's just dizziness and no fun at all. At 220 degrees there is some fun effect but much smaller than when smoking in a regular way. So my dry herb vape is in a drawer, unused.
ouch, I didn't know that could happen. I use an Arizer Solo II and it works well at 220°C, in terms of effects it's comparable to smoking. Perhaps there is some physiological difference at play?
Are you talking °C or °F, because it makes a huge difference. I vape at 420 °F and get high as a fucking kite. Any less than 380 °F or so and it doesn't hit right. If you are trying 220° F, you ain't getting' shit.
Also, what brand did you buy? I have had two in my life. A Vapor Genie and now an Xmax Pro V3. The instructions for the Vapor Genie say "take a slow, light pull as it works better that way." You see, it's a flame-based vaporizer you use with a lighter. The Xmax is a normal one, but I treated it like the Vapor Genie. Wrong! You have to hit it like your trying to suck the weed out, and it takes a few small pulls to even start producing vapor.
Watch some videos on your model. There a chance you're doing it wrong.
