For everyone who is new to vaping/wants to buy their first vape. This should answer all of your questions.

I have been seeing multiple people each day come to this sub and ask the same questions, so I'm gonna try to clear some stuff up for you. Vaporizers save herb and are much more healthy than smoking. However, vaporizers can be intimidating. I'm going to attempt to make clear the differences between each one.

Q: Dude, how blasted will a vape get me?

A: It all depends on which vaporizer you get, most will get you just as high/much higher than smoking. I personally feel like smoking highs are more 'foggy' and 'dirty' or 'hazy', where vape highs are clear and bright and vivid.

Q: I don't feel high when I'm vaping. THIS SHIT SUCKS

A: It is very likely that you are not inhaling properly or you do not have the temperature set right. Also, different CBD's vaporize at different temperatures, so you may have to turn the temp up until you feel that 'stoney' feeling, if that's the kind of high you like.

Q: My local headshop sells a cheap knock off of X vape for $50. Should I get it?!

A: No. Just save your money and buy a real vape like the Silver Surfer. I personally wouldn't even mess around with the box vapes. The vapes like the Easy Vape actually have a plastic outside that get warped and melted from the heat which is very poor design if you ask me.

Q: BUT IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE!!

A: Yeah, vapes are pretty expensive nowadays unfortunately. However, you get what you pay for. The best things come to those who wait.**

Q: What the hell is AVB/ABV?

A: AVB means "Already Vaped Bud" and "ABV" means "Already been vaped". They mean the same thing, but the second one makes a little less sense to me. Oh well. AVB is the weed that has been used in a vape. When the bowl has gone from green to a light/medium/dark brown, people usually dump it in a storage container to eat or cook with later.

Q: I can cook that shit?

A: Yes. You can use it to make edibles. You can also just throw it on top of some yogurt or something and eat it that way. It will still get you high since the THC has already been heated and therefore activated. Take note that you are of course eating the bud that most of the THC has been vaped off of already so it might take you a gram or two of AVB to feel anything.

Q: Okay, so what is the best vape?

A: Most people will immediately tell you that the Volcano is the best vape hands-down.

I disagree. The only reason you should buy a Volcano is if you really want a bag vape. The volcano is built like a tank and will always work and give you consistent vapor. I, however, am not a big fan of bags. There are also people who will say that the 'VapeXhale Cloud' is the future of vaping but I personally disagree. Look at any youtube review of it. It's chunky, doesn't work too well, and is just a meh vaporizer with an incredibly high price tag.

Q: So what do I get if I'm not really interested in a bag vape?

A: A Silver Surfer, or Da Buddha. They are pretty much perfect whip vapes. They very very rarely have issues, they too are built like tanks, and they deliver strong, powerful, delicious, knock-you-on-your ass vapors every single time. I prefer the Silver Surfer but the Da Buddha is good for people on a budget, since it is essentially the same thing. If you get a bong to filter the vapor through from either of these, you have just about the purest, most amazing cannabis experience ever. Simply incredible.

Q: What about the Magic Flight Launch Box (MFLB)? Isn't that the best vape ever?!?

A: I have had two Magic Flight Launch Boxes and I do not like them. They get the job done, but they don't get it done all that well. They do not pack much of a punch, and are absolute toys compared to a desktop vape like the Silver Surfer. The MFLB is pretty much made to break, and the 'lifetime warranty' is evidence of that. The MFLB is made with cheap materials and is very picky about how it vaporizes, and combusts very easily.

If you are on the go all of the and really like how it looks and don't plan to vape much, then go for it. With enough patience you'll learn to use it. It is probably one of the least user-friendly devices I have ever used, and despite everyone saying their customer service is amazing, I have had nothing but poor experiences with them. the CS rep took weeks to get back to me and was kind of snobbish to me too.

Q: Okay, so I'm not too set on the MFLB anymore, but I still need a portable vape for stealth reasons. Help!

A: The PAX is a good vape but uses up lots of material fast, and is not really the strongest vape. It is the Apple product of the vape world- sleek and stylish, but not all that amazing. The Da Vinci vape is very nice. It looks like a walkie-talkie and provides awesome vapor. It's probably what I'd recommend. HOWEVER, Da Vinci is coming out with a new vape called the Descent very soon. I would wait until reviews are out, but it looks promising.

The Arizer Solo is also a very solid vaporizer but it is bigger and not too stealthy.

Q: But this guy on r/trees told me the Extreme Q was the best vape ever because it does BAGS and a whip!!!

A: The Extreme Q is a great vape but it is very fragile. The 'metal' outside part is actually not real and feels very cheap. The bags are kind of 'cheesy' and do not work well, and most people just end up using the whip on the Extreme Q. The insides are also made out of glass, so if you are a klutz who knocks things over all of the time (see: me) then it probably won't last.
