I've got a friend who grows pretty oldschool, it's hands down the cleanest bud I can get in this country. They also have a press, one of the few people I can 100% trust whether it's rosin, ice hash or green... I know they'll have done a top notch job with the initial product, because they're so picky about quality.
Part of my problem is the extraction process. I feel that this alters the chemical composition. It isn't the same "full spectrum" as direct extraction from the raw flower in a high end dry herbal vaporizer
It's one of those things where it's hard to get across to people who smoke joints, how much more enjoyable / tasty dry-herb vaping can be. Even a cheapo device, it's night and day. I remember trying to smoke a joint after I'd been vaping around a month and it tasted absolutely vile.
I do miss the social aspect though, sitting with a group of friends passing a massive joint around.
Lol yeah - I've become such a flavor chasing snob. These days when I socially smoke with friends they make a big deal out of it because I'm known to enjoy a dry herbal device. However I've gotten a lot of friends switched over to dry herbal devices. So sharing a balloon full of vapor from the XQ2 is more common these days. My one friend knows me well enough to have his EQ pre-heated for a half an hour before I show up to party so it's ready to go hahaha.
Do you give your friends who are new to vaping 'the warning'? "You won't feel any throat hit, so be careful, one minute you're fine then all of a sudden you're way too high". I fucked myself bigtime the first time I hit a dry herb vape!
Lol, I usually give them a prefilled bag of vapor and let them sip at their own pace to keep things easy. I offer them a warm drink like tea or cocoa which helps sooth the throat between puffs
