Unpopular opinion time: the whole indica/hybrid/sativa is mostly just leftover broscience that is more often than not just used as an additional marketing ploy. I think a lot of people have convinced themselves it matters, but if they actually tried their strains blind they would find the "up" vs "down" strains would align with the "sativa" vs "indica" BS about as accurately as just guessing.

Maybe it's just me. I've had a few strains of flower in various ratios of THC:CBD that were pretty good to smoke, but in dabs I've yet to try anything "high CBD" that didn't taste off-putting. All my CBD concentrates have been from Oregon dispos.

There are 1:1 & CBD concentrates, tho I've never had one that tasted good. Every dab I've tried w/ CBD tastes icky (I swear they all taste like weed mixed with Pepto Bismol)

Finally bought in via Dynavap and after a few days of fiddling with it I was sold.

Back in 2020 I finally switched from smoking cigarettes to an e-cig, and the switch is very similar to that. Going thru that experience made it much easier to accept that initially the hits would feel unsatisfying but it doesn't feel that way for long.

I have zero desire for smoking cigarettes anymore - the flavor is gross and harsh. Its already looking like I'll eventually feel the same about smoking herb. I still smoke a social joint or bowl on occasion but now that vaping gives me the taste of the herb with no harsh, I just prefer it.

Way easier on the wallet too.

Yes it's intense, it's definitely the quickest route to onset and intensity of effect (which is great for someone like me who uses primarily for medical reasons). If smoking flower is like drinking a beer, dabs are like doing shots. Absolutely the best taste, too. Doing them regularly will fuck your tolerance though, and mostly ruined me on the taste of smoking.

If you're primarily into flower and not a heavy user i would try dry-herb vaping flower instead of smoking it, I highly recommend it. Finally got on the Dynavap train and can't say enough good things about it. Super efficient (I'm still in awe of this), you can taste your herb instead of smoke, waaaay easier on lungs & throat (I've never coughed on a hit). Amazing for microdosing & working your way up to your preferred high too.

I'm not generally a fan of e-rigs but of the ones I've tried (peak, peak pro, proxy, switch, boost evo, xs, I don't remember which others), the Boost is my favorite and the only one that I've seriously considered buying for myself.

I just eyeball the size of my dabs 🤷‍♂️

Thanks! Its nice having a homie to sesh with who geeks out on dabs as much as i do. We do weekly flavor sharing sessions so we both get to try a lot more than we would otherwise.

Lately I've mostly been hitting SWED.CO for my dabs, as they've been right in the sweet spot for price, selection & quality, but I keep an eye on Kaleafa and the various Nectars as well. There aren't a ton of dispos in my immediate vicinity, but those are the ones I go to regularly for dabs.

I still prefer dabs to anything else, but I recently switched from smoking flower to vaporizing using a Dynavap and once I got the hang of it (and got used to the feel of vapor vs smoke) it has quickly become my go to.

My consumption has effectively halved overnight, my lungs feel way better, I get way higher off less weed, and I can actually taste my flower instead of just smoke.

Definitely recommend a Dyna if you're new to dry herb vapes - super simple mechanical function, no batteries or expensive parts to replace (it's manually lighter/torch heated), and low investment up front (my buddy got his Dynavap "B" for like $40)

Got in on some early 710 deals - the best being 2g of Banana Punch #1 Rosin by Decibel for $36, which is what I'm about to dab now
