    Hey Everyone!

    I'm new to these forums and am hoping that someone out here might have sufficient experience and may be able to help me with Vaporizers...

    I recently received a vaporizer as a gift (Vapor Daddy). My whole life I've just smoked via pipes/blunts/bongs, however this new little gadget confuses me somewhat. The instructions are very vague to say the least, and I suppose I should expect this with a grey-market product.

    However, I just don't know if I'm hitting this thing right. Firstly, I should ask how wet the weed should be? ie. obviously you don't want to put dried out weed in there.

    Secondly, should it be finely ground up (ie from using a grinder) or not? I have read conflicting things online on this issue, and maybe someone here with experience can give me their opinion.

    Third, what should I be looking for to know when it is ready to inhale?

    Any advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please note that I have searched far and wide on google regarding the vapor daddy, as well as any possible instructional videos on Youtube, but have come up empty handed.

    You fellow stoners are all I have! I really want to figure this thing out..

    Cheers,

    mc.

    Dont take everything here as great advise coz ive limmeted experience, but ill try to help.

    Grind your herb

    when you see a stream of vapours coming from the weed - inhale
    Dont heat for too long as youll burn the green.

    Oh and the wetter it is the longer id heat it for, and dried or 'cured' bud is perfectlyu fine to use.


    Im not sure but i thought the curing proccess had a lot to do with the potency of the bud?

    Much appreciated MOZMAN. The more feedback, the better for me.

    Should you inhale like at the same pace you do when you are normally breathing?

    no probs. Id probably take as much as you can into your lungs and hold it for as long as possible!
    Are you using it right now? let me know if youve got the hang of it.

    Not using it at the moment since I am at work.. However when I DID use it, I noticed that the first hit I didn't really get anything, second hit and subsequent hits i blew out a very fine, somewhat white "smoke" although I am inclined to think that this wasn't smoke but rather the vapor..

    Should you be exhaling large quantities of this vapor or just a small amount.

    working on a bank holliday. poor man.

    its probably a bit of vapour coming out. Hold it in for as long as possible so as all the THC is absorbed. Have a few blasts and if your not stoned then somthings not right. How many blasts have you had on it?

    1. dried weed is fine, that's what I always vap
    2.as finely ground as you can get it. this gives the weed more surface area and so the THC can get out of the bud easier.
    3. In my vap you can start to see a bit of vapors floating around, thats when I start sucking. Nothing bad happens if you suck too early, so just suck every minute or so, and when you start to get an aftertaste you know its vaping time

    What temp are you putting it on? I have found that between 290 and 300 is perfect. Id turn it on at least 15 minutes a head of time...AT LEAST. Then when you put on the whip you should be good to start smoking it right away. After words the weed should be a light brown...any darker and you are getting smoke not vapor. I will post a pic when i get some weed. You do not want the weed to be wet. You want it as ground up as you can get it, the more surface area, the more efficiant it is. And when you fill it up be sure to fill it no more than half way between the screen and where the frosted glass on glass joint starts. Any more questions, feel free to ask.
