Bought a Vape - My experience & questions

I just got the Vapor bros Hands Free and I must say its da bomb!!! I love it! the high is definitely a little different though, more heady, less burn-out type high. Very useful for busy moms like me. Hehe. I've found within two days of using my lungs are already starting to feel freer, man it's just not that harsh. I gotta say that sex w/ hubby after smoking from the vape is actually much better - the nighttime bong hit makes me want to crash and just SLEEEEEEEEP, this does not make me quite so tired!! Just thought I'd share.... hehe
So, my question to you guys is, especially those w/ the Vapor Bros model....
-what heat setting do you keep it at. How fast or how many hits before the bud starts turning brown?
-How do you know when it's completely done? I've looked at the bud after a while and it's definitely pretty dark brown (not black) but I see specks of green in there.....
-Can you put the leftovers in a bong and blaze? Haven't tried it and too scared too!!! I've heard that you can put it in brownies, but I can't risk the kiddos getting a hold of them (u know how resourceful children can be!!!!!!!)
Any insight would be appreciated - THANKS!!!!

Vapor Bros Hands Free, look it up. It cost me $171, that included a grinder as well. I must say it's an excellent investment. My hubby and I are blown away by this crazy little device!!!!

I am considering purchasing one of those... after hearing so many positive reviews. Cheap and effective. Not $600.

I've had two Vapor Bros. vapes. First one was the basic and the second one was the hands free.

On both I generally kept the dial around 12 oclock (maybe 11:45 if that makes sense). If there was a large/ long session we would turn it down to around 11 after the 3rd pack.

Personally, however, I prefer the high from smoking, and most of my buddies do too. I have the vaporizer as a healthier alternative but don't like the high as much. I do not feel as active and stimulated after vaping.

I'm busy, so the inevitable "burn-out" that occurs after a good smoking session does not happen w/ the vape. If I had all teh time in the world to sleep and chill I'd definitely want to hit the bong too
Plus it's definitely healthier too, which will hopefully get rid of my cough I seem to have had for so long!
How do you know when it's completely done though?

It's pretty difficult to tell when you have a whip vaporizer as opposed to the volcano, where the bag will just stop filling up/fill up very slowly when the bowl is cashed. If this helps at all, it should start to taste a lot like burnt popcorn when it's time to throw some fresh nug in there. :]

I always keep vaporizer leftovers for mixing with weed in a joint, instead of using tobacco. I've never seen a problem with it but I can't tell you for sure.

Hey kobeite, I also just picked up a V.B. hands-free, maybe the same day you did. I started out with the dial at 12 o'clock, which works pretty well. I like to taste the bud a little more and like a little bit of a body high to get rid of the sore legs from riding moto. I now run it at about 1 o'clock, just on the edge of the bud lighting up. I don't know when it's completely done. I'll only do about 4 pulls from it. I keep the bud fresh and save the lungs, but I grow my own so supply is not a problem. I think one of the best things about the Vapor Bros. is how nice it looks, I leave it on the desk in my room, doesn't look out of place at all.

I keep my vape at just under 12 like several have mentioned, I just miss the flavor. The first hit is cool, but after that is kinda sucks if you like the flavor you have known to love. Maybe I will pull it out this week and dust it off and give it another run....

It definitely takes getting used to. It's a different way of smoking for sure. The only prob w/ the vape is that it's so mild I feel like taking hit after hit. Maybe it's psychological. Do you need more hits off the vape to get high? Comments?

I take a lot more hits with the vape than i do with even a pipe or joint. I have a herbalaire and i seem to get some vapor out for a long time, but it takes a lot of hits to get high, and i haven't been soaring yet from it, unfortunately...

I heat my vape so that it burns what I'm vaping well... depending on how the herb was cured and such.

I suggest making cannabutter out of the leftovers, I use an O to a 1/2 lb of butter ratio. You can cook it into whatever you want, just make something that the kids don't like. Smoking leftovers isn't the greatest, its too harsh for my tastes.

There's less THC loss with vapor vs. smoke. There's also a loss of toxins that provide the sleepy effect you get with smoke. So the vape high is a more alert one. Most people say they use less weed with a vape. If smoke disagrees with your lungs, and it does with me, you probably use more with a vape. I get better effect from vaping than I have for years with smoke. I generally don't vape just before bedtime though, since I just end up staying up later. The 'ready to crash' feeling doesn't come around until I'm coming down.

Thumbs up I love my VB!

There are some hassles with it, though. Mainly changing the screen. Make sure you have the right sized screen, for a start. The ones I bought the 1st time at the head shop were a tad too big! Talk about frustration! I ended up cutting one down with wire cutters. Even with the right sized screens, it's a hassle. Last time the VB needed a new screen, I traded the hubby a load of dishwashing, if he'd do it. (I got the better deal! )

You can put this insanity off by very gently running a flame through the glass thistle tube. Just use it like a chillum or pipe. Whoever does this will most definitely get their head! So if you have delicate lungs, get a friend to clear the screen. They will appreciate it.

And yes, dear, if you just vape, the cough will go away. I toked for 40 years and my lungs were a mess! It took 2 weeks of vaping to have them clear as can be! Vapes are wonderful!

As to when it is "done"- that is a matter of personal taste. When ever it starts to taste burnt is the usual answer. As long as the duff comes out brown, it's OK. (Hubby and I vape the heck out of each load. Just a couple of stubborn old hippies determined to get that last molecule of THC out of the bud! lol )

Butter might be the way for you to go- and keep it in the freezer. No way the kids will get into it there! I just do muffins with hemp seed for added nutrition. (read this)
HEMP SEED: THE MOST NUTRITIONALLY COMPLETE FOOD SOURCE IN THE WORLD

You can get it at most large health food stores.

Enjoy your VB!- Granny

I have a vapor bros somewhere in my closet that i got like 5 yrs ago but haven't used for a long ass time. Here's some tips that I discovered in using it:

1) inhale slow and smooth, you get the best hit that way. Dont take quick hits because you'll cause burning more than vaping. Its kind of like smoking a cigarette or joint. The faster you hit, the hotter the smoke is which ends up burning your bud or shrinking your tube. You might not think its burning up your bud while looking at it, you'll see a build up of tiny black specs in your tube soon enough.
2) grind up your bud fine, but not so fine that the vaped (used) bud is small enough to fall through the screen. The smaller the grounds are, the more surface area the heat will touch.
3) I always used to pinch some grounds, and drop it on the screen. Then I'd gently tap the side of the bowl and try to get a nice even layer of bud. You only want a single layer of bud on there. Any more and you're being wasteful and will end up burning some which goes against the purpose of vaping
4) Lay the vapor bros down on its side instead of sitting it upright. Its a helluvalot easier to insert the whip this way and you dont end up dumping half your weed into the heating element.
5) Sometimes to get a nice even layer, i'd use a tube of chapstick to gently flatten the weed in the bowl. Chapstick fits nicely. Don't pack it, watch the grounds go flat, you shouldn't even feel the tip of that chapstick touching anything. This also helps a lot if you choose to use the vapor bros the "normal" way and not lay it on its side like I mentioned above.
6) Vape the bud only until all the green is gone. Not until it turns brown. Whats the difference? One means you're vaping, the other means you're borderline releasing the toxins you're trying to avoid.
7)If you're tasting burnt popcorn from a clean whip, you're burning which means either your temp is too high, you're inhaling too fast or you've packed too much weed and even though you still see green, the buds on the heater side are burning. Slow down.
8) Don't get greedy. You can always dump the current bowl and vape it again later when it cools off. Once I got any popcorn taste, I dumped the bowl into a jar and saved it for later. You can vape it again when it cools off. Move onto the next bowl. I'd save the "used" bud for when I was running low or even better, use it for making cannabutter and bake with it.
9) Buy extra whips. Its worth it and makes the experience moe enjoyable because you dont have to wait for your single whip to cool down before reloading.

I forget what temp setting I used, but basically if your bud getting dark brown, you've got it set too high. I know it feels like you're getting more faded with a higher setting, but its really the fact that you're getting a bigger hit due to the burning. Take your time to keep it healthier. You'll still get faded

I got a volcano a few months after the vapor bros and it was well worth the money.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say don't try to smoke vaped bud. You may as well go roll a joint out of sawdust. It would be healthier for you to smoke a stem. I will guarantee you will not get high unless you consider the huge lack of oxygen to your brain a high.

LOL me and my buddy rolled a HUGE blunt of vaped bud. It had to have been 5 grams... or more. We smoked that shit... all of it. I remember getting like really giggly high for about 15min and then just crashing to shit. And yea my lungs were sore and my muscles all around them from coughing so much it hurt to bend over and shit.

horrible experience.

oh yeah, I forgot one really cool thing I used to do with the vapor bros....used it with a small bong!. cut off the mouthpiece on the whip and put it tube of a bong and then hit it from the bong. It doesn't kill the vape. Give it a try!

Thats hilarious. Definitely had the same kind of high after smoking an emergency vapo leftover joint. Ended up half stoned and I yelled at my wife for being a crappy driver. Don't smoke the leftovers.

Pretty cool about the bong. I have been wanting to try that. I'm obsessed with the idea that cool vaporizer smoke is the next goal.
