Neither, I prefer dry vaporizing to combusting these days - it's healthier, tastes better, and I can customize what the affects feel like (different temps cook out different medical benefits from the plant)
But I still enjoy combusting socially when someone is passing something around, but I absolutely prefer flavor chasing with a dry vape
First off, I totally love your site. I've ordered a bunch of stuff from you haha.
I didn't realize different temps have different effects as well. Do you have a chart or description of what effects the different temps have? Thanks!
Here's a quick guide
Woot! Happy to hear it! Thank you for your patronage - this biz is purely a labor of love with no corporate overlords. I am constantly innovating and pushing out new widgets to keep things exciting on the website.
There are a few charts floating around, but I don't exactly agree with all their data - some of the temps listed on these charts comes from single studies with minimal testing.
In very general terms I say low temps below 375F for a more cerebral creative uplifting affect, while temps over 400F work better for sedation and pain relief (higher temps especially for pain relief). Some people like to enjoy a low-temp sesh in the morning, and cook the remainder of the bowl in the evenings at a higher temp. The fun part is the ability to take a hybrid or indica and extract only the sativa-effects from the plant (which is inefficient as you won't get many big clouds, but it can be done which is handy when the options are slim).
The fun part is self discovery - start at 300F and work your way up 15F at a time, see how you feel
I’ve been kind of noticing the same with my pax lately and I’m glad you put into words what I’ve been intuiting
