dumb question about delta vapes and regular vapes too I guess... (partizle.com)

I saw somewhere, in multiple places, that it does NOT get you higher to hold it in when you inhale. That goes against everything I've ever heard of. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't hold it in with every hit. Is this common?

The majority of THC is absorbed immediately upon inhaling (IIRC the number is 70%), but if you want the best number for average perceived high, hold it for 10 seconds.

5 seconds is what I've heard recommended by multiple people

So technically holding it in does increase THC levels, but nobody in the study noticed an actual difference.

It was also an extremely low dose--1.75% and 3.55%THC per the link. I wouldn't be surprised if a higher dose resulted in more subjectively noticeable effects.

Receipts. I respect that.
