Note: i refer to delta-8 and THCa flower

From what i can tell vaping appears to be the cheapest way to enjoy your herbs. A d8 .510 cart is $12-$20 for a 1g cart and each cart has ~150 hits so each hit is $0.08-$0.14. Now edibles on the other hand sound super expensive. A 1000mg (1g) thing of d8 gummies is $60 for 40 gummies or $1.50 per gummy. Each of these gummies have 25mg of d8 in them. To vape 25mg would need ~5 hits and cost $0.40-$0.65. Or am i way the fuck off base and fucked up my maths. Always did suck in that class.

Edit: i have also heard that vaping is better because it uses much lower temps and doesnt burn off most of the terps before they get to you.

No one should vape anything. It's terrible for your lungs.

I've always heard that vaping is better than smoking, but maybe that only applies to tobacco? From what i understand: edibles > vaping > smoking

Dry herb vaporizers are much better than combustion, you are correct there. Even vaping concentrates is fine. The ones you want to avoid are the ones with VG.

[–] Celtic7670@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why avoid VG?

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

VG? Sorry, new to this and dont know all the terms quite yet.

Inhaling anything but oxygen is bad for your lungs. Inhaling vapor can be better than inhaling smoke.

inhaling anything but oxygen

Wrong. Inhaling normal atmospheric mixture of nitrogen and oxygen is much better for your lungs than pure oxygen.

Shit tier take.

Vaping is substantially better than smoking from a harm reduction perspective. Inhaling a burning plant is always going to be worse than inhaling a heated vapor.

Bad for your lungs, end story.
