New to Delta8 - stupid beginner question

NSFWQuestions

TLDR: Doing something very wrong with voltage or inhaling and just getting "drunk" and it sucks ass!

So I'll preface this with

  • I've been searching for days for a somewhat reliable answer
  • I haven't smoked/eaten any kind of weed since high school (20 years?)
  • If this is not allowed, I apologize in advance and please point me in the right direction!!

So I just got a Yocan Uni Pro and 3 carts off HCH a few weeks back (Pineapple Express (Hybrid), Slurricane (Indica) and Strawnana (Indica).

The first time I tried it, I took 2 hits and then about an hour later another -- I WAY overdid it and had a very bad experience. The first night the Yocan was at 3.0v and I tried the Hybrid and I went from 10-15 minutes of everything is kind of funny to a couple hours of the world is ending shaking on the couch!

Second night, I tried another flavor (Indica) and did 2.0v and inhaled 4-5s and kept it in until I just started coughing my lungs out. About 15-20 minutes later I got a buzzed/tipsy feeling and that was about it the rest of the night. No "whoa man, life is goooooood" or anything, just a very aware drunk feeling.

Third night, third flavor, same thing. 2.0v, 4-5s inhale keep it in until I can't anymore (might I add, that the coughing REALLY fucking sucks!!). Same thing -- 10-15 later a buzz/drunk feeling.

I've been searching endlessly for what voltage to use, how long to inhale, how long to keep it in etc because I'm 0 for 4 right now and I'm not enjoying it AT ALL.

Ironically, the Delta-8 experience could also be described as mellow. Users find the Delta-8 THC high to be incredibly relaxing, putting them in a calm state. They find themselves clearheaded, able to take on tasks and go about their day normally. A feeling of contentment and chill relaxation washes over them.

This is what I'm expecting. Some kind of calm, functioning reaction that I can still DO stuff, not just a feeling of being super drunk but remembering everything. I'm going to keep trying a few more things, but would love any advice on what I'm doing wrong and why I can't get a "normal high" (whatever that actually is, I don't know) from the d8 I have.

I find 2.9v-3.1v is the best temp. Take a medium drag, you don’t have to hold it in, and just breathe normally. I’d take 1 maybee 2 hits wait half an hour and see how you feel, if you want more take a few more drags and repeat until you get where you want to be. Cartridges will also feel much much more different compared to edibles so I’d recommend edibles if you don’t like how carts feel. Have fun exploring d8, God bless!

Ok, I'll give that a try for sure! Getting quite frustrated that something's not right, but definitely willing to do some trial and error to figure it out! Appreciate ya!

I can’t really say what you’re doing wrong per se, but I usually hit around 2.4-2.8v or so. I typically inhale about 2 seconds at a time, and I don’t really hold it in except for maybe half a second. I usually do 1-2 hits, and repeat as necessary after about 15m if I need to.

I wonder if that holding it in is what's turning it into a bad time? I was going to try not holding it for so long next time and see if that A) helps with a more mellow time and B) keeps me from hacking my lungs out. I've read 2.4 - 2.6 is a good range, but I've never vaped before so this is all new to me. Appreciate the info!

Try mixing it with a bit of xylazine. You should definitely feel something…….😎

Lower your voltage, should help with taste and coughing. Take smaller hits also, and space them out by 10-15 minutes until you get where you want to be. Don’t hold it in, just inhale then exhale

He's been hitting at 2.0v though

For oil vape I don’t think you really need to go more than 2-2.4. I tried doing it at 3.2 using the same Uni Pro and it just ended up burning my throat and ruined the taste of the cart. 2.0 should be fine. Take smaller puffs and try not holding it in for so long. 2-3 small rips 3seconds each and go chill…

Honestly, I feel the vessel compass is an underrated battery for carts. Been using it for 6 months and no complaints.

Try edibles. Vaping can be a real hit or miss.

Yeah, I'm going to keep trying a few things before going that route. Experimenting to find the right number of hits and time is hard with kids haha
