I'm a freshly minted pot-head in my mid 40's! I've had alcohol issues most of my life. Last time I visited a legal state I decided I'd get some goodies and try them out to see if maybe I could substitute for alcohol. I'm finding it very helpful! What I like the most is that it doesn't fuck with my sleep like alcohol does and I don't feel like garbage in the morning. Unfortunately, I can't smoke it properly due to the smell, but I'm really enjoying edibles and vaping. Anyway, just wanted to say hi!

Hello! I’m trying to transition away from smoking myself (I use medically and recreationally) because smoking is bad for your lungs, but nothing really beats the instant relief from smoking some flower. I personally haven’t tried one yet but I’ve heard a lot of people use a dry herb vape to some success.

Yeah, I got some live resin cartridges that work pretty well. I'm just learning about all the different products. I just wonder if dabbing or herb vape will have the very noticeable odor/smell that I need to avoid to stay under the radar.

I mentioned it in another comment, but dry herb in general has less smell associated with it, and in my experience, very little of the usual weed burning smell. I don’t have much dab experience, having only used a crappy pen, but it had a very different smell to me. I don’t think I’d have suspected weed if I didn’t know better.

Those hurt my lungs so much more.

Dry flower vape is super nice, it has a way more subtle savory flavor and the smell goes away quicker. If you can afford it, i highly recommend the mighty+ (or their cheaper model the crafty+) by storz&bickel (same company that makes the OG device, the volcano).
