I’m looking to get into a dry herb vape as a better alternative to prerolls. All I see online is people lavishing praise on them and real studies saying they have health benefits. Plus buying straight flower and grinding is cheaper.

Do you use one and if so do you have a reco? I’ve been leaning towards the g pen elite for a not astronomical price but decent looking portable build.

    I’ve tried an expensive one and a cheap one, neither worked the same for me as just combustion or concentrates. I’d have to completely reset my tolerance if I wanted to use one regularly so I gave em away.

      People constantly recommend these things like they are the best things ever but my experience is the same as yours, they just did fuck all for me unless I sat the toking on the thing for what seemed like hours. Even then the high wasn’t as good in my opinion and didn’t last as long.

      Give me a bong any day of the week, thanks.

        Run a terpcicle through a bong and tell me it did fuck all

        If you’re smoking 1g joints and dabbing, no shit a <0.1g portable chamber is too small. Fill any desktop with a gram and you’ll get absolutely blasted.

        Get a ball vape. Screwball, WOHW (wireless one hit wonder) there’s lots of good ones. You use these through a bong, and they will absolutely knock you on your ass.
