herb costs (monero.town)

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.

Vaping is cheaper and more potent.

I have a few carts I use sparingly because they seem to be rougher on my throat than dry herb vaping.

But the best middle ground by far is dry herb vaping. It is very cost friendly, customizable in terms of effects, and probably "safer" than vaping. This is my primary method of consumption.

How do you control your dose dry herb vaping? With an auto draw vape cart i can just stop whenever i am ready, but the one dry herb vape (planet of the vapes one) i looked at vaporizes whatever is put in the chamber and you get like 180 seconds before its all used up. I am not yet to the point where i am comfortable using a dose that high.

Edit: the flower i am looking at is 20%-32% so if i measured out say 250mg for the chamber thats a 50-80mg dose and i am not to that point yet

Am I missing something or is the solution just to only put in the amount you want to consume? 🤔

This may only apply to bongs, but from my understanding you can't pack it too loosely, or not enough, because it won't work right.

I'm not sure what device you are looking at, but that is definitely not the case with the Volcano. I can out as much or as little in the basket as I want.

I am looking at the planet of the vapes one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, you mean the Planet of the Vapes ONE? Is this ambiguous capitalization? At any rate, I've usually found that dry herb vapes don't want to be packed too full and will struggle with too much material.

So that's what I use and I just pack it to a loose fill I don't stuff it.

Thanks, I have only used cartridges for quite some time so I genuinely wouldn't know.

I just use the .1 gram capsules, but my other vape is .2 grams.

And it's not all used up after the first session. I usually start with only 3 or 4 hits and do that every 20 minutes or so. Depending on what I'm vaping it'll last for an hour or 2, maybe a cap change in between.
