First vaporiser
Hello,
I'm in an interesting situation with my desire to not smoke tobacco vs my inevitable want to consume the almighty herb.I need of bit of advice in the Vape department!
So, I started smoking weed again last year, after about a 7 year break, which was essentially brought on by me stopping smoking tobacco and knowing that I'd never kick one without the other. I started smoking around the age of 17, and roughly it went hand in hand with when I first started smoking weed. I never got into bongs, I smoked tobacco, and when I smoked weed I smoked it in joints with tobacco, always.
Anyway, having got the growing bug, naturally I began smoking spliffs again, and for a while it was alright - my control over the nicotine addiction was good. I'd harvest, dry and cure my crop, have a couple of months of blazing it in the evenings, which was great, but I didn't have nicotine cravings in the day. When I'd run out I'd start another grow and take an enforced lay off. I successfully managed this til the start of the year, where it gradually started to creep back in. First it was a cigarette when I woke up. Then I had to have one straight after work. Then it was more through the evening, eventually I had to have one or two on my lunch break, then last month I deduced I was back to smoking over 20 or so a day. And so I stopped again, same method I used first time, patches and lozenges, no spliffs (got a grow on at the moment, about a month to go.) I'm two weeks in, am over the worst, but am worried about when my next harvest is done.
I know full well I'll get hooked on nicotine again if I smoke spliffs, and although I know I can stop again - it takes a bit of effort, and no matter how good your will power or whatever method you use to stop, you always have to go through a horrible point early on before the cravings decline and that process, while surmountable, frankly ain't pleasant to go through.
So, I keep hearing good things about vapes. Last year I made the usual newbie mistake and bought some nasty £30 portable jobbie from Amazon that evidently wasn't a vape but a combustion device. Yes, it was shit!
I know you have to throw some cash at it to get a decent one, but I guess my fear is that I don't have that much disposable income (although as every smoker knows, you always seem to find enough money for cigarettes!) - yes it's hypocritical but I'm worried I'll either buy another shit thing or simply won't like it. I do worry that perhaps it's that combination of weed and tobacco that I enjoy most - that vaping just the weed somehow it won't be the same, and that with a big hole burnt in my wallet from buying a vape, I may well bloody end up back on the fags again anyway!
I've been looking at the vapes I could realistically afford - have to say, the Arizer Extreme Q Vaporizer looks the business in terms of bang for your buck, everyone on here seems to rave about it.
Also like the look of the Flowermate V5.0S Portable Vaporizer - you can get it for half the price of the Arizer if you shop around, so the price is right, and the online reviews also look really promising.
What do you guys think?
