Guide to Vaporizers

I. Why Should I Vape? :

Combustion aka burning your material is the most common known method to consume tobacco and herbs. During the combustion process the substance is burned releasing the active ingredients. Vaporizing has a similar effect as smoking but the substance is not burned it is vaporized.

Burning of the plant material causes the release of unwanted by-products like carbon monoxide, tar, ash, and other substances which are harmful to the human body and can later cause bigger issues. The unwanted substances have been found to cause cancer in most cases. Smoking is like breathing hot air which is unhealthy to our lungs and throat. You may be inhaling medicine but the method using high temperature may be causing more damage. Second hand smoking is also another factor to look at since the harmful smoke has a chance of causing cancer to other people that could be in the room.

According to many studies, twenty five to fifty percent of the substance is destroyed during the combustion process. It also decreases the effectivness of the active ingredients the plants may have. It is evident that smoking is an unhealthy method which may further cause damage to the body. Smoking also wastes resources by burning the plant material and in the process loses vital active ingredients.

Vaporizing on the other hand gently heats the plant material up to a certain degree where combustion doesn’t occur. This is achieved with digital accuracy and the effect is the release of a warm vapor with all the active ingredients. Many studies support that none of the active ingredients are lost during vaporization since fire or flame is not used to obtain the active ingredients. The process results to more of the beneficial natural substance and not just smoke.

The carcinogenic materials are also eliminated in the process since the vapor contains a very insignificant amount of tar. The vapor is also a lot cooler than smoke. This proves to be healthier than smoke which subjects the throat and lungs to irritation.

The vapor produced is slightly visible when exhaled and the vapor is almost odorless compared to smoke. The natural taste of the substance, for example of tobacco, is therefore noticeably retained.

Vaporizing produces more stimulation compared to smoking. Moreover, the unhealthy by products of smoking are eliminated with vaporizing. A number of studies have shown that delivery of the active ingredient is more efficient in vaporizing. Aside from the elimination of the undesired compounds, vaporizing delivers the active ingredient to the blood stream faster. The alleviating effect of the substance is fast and control of the dosage is very precise given the technology used in today’s vaporizers. You get more with vaporizing for using less, and people now consider vaporizing as the way to go, you should too.

How To Avoid Being Caught Being High

If you smoke marijuana but don’t want anyone to know then there are things to must learn to avoid being caught stoned. Personally i never cared if anyone knew i was high or not but i just don’t like pushing into others faces. A shame it may be but the world still has a negative outlook on marijuana smokers and being obnoxiously obvious about it can cause main situations that you do not want to deal with, probably because your high. So how DO I avoid being caught high you ask?

Red eyes are usually the thing that gets most people busted after they smoke marijuana. It happens because of the increase in blood pressure that happens when you smoke. If you smoke pot a lot your body seems to adjust to this increase heart rate and leap in blood pressure quickly and your eyes will stop getting red. But for those that don’t smoke that often he best solution is to wait it out, but if you don’t have a lot of time on your hands you can always use clear eyes. Only 2 drops and your eyes will turn whiter then Christmas snow.

Another way people get busted easily smoking the ganja is the scent it leaves on your clothes and body. It is said the the smell will fade from your clothing within five minutes but i find that to be the case only with low quality marijuana. There have been times that i smoked before i left for class which is nearly 30 minutes away and people still told me i STINK of weed. So to prevent this take precautionary measures and spray yourself down with some cologne or perfume if a lady. The bigger issue is the smell left on your fingers if you handled the weed yourself. The oil and ‘resin’ on the weed feels as thou is sinks into your sink and will leave a strong odor for much longer then the smoke would. So as soon as your get the chance wash your hands or apply lotion of some sort. This will help with the smell.

How to Roll A Joint

I’m pretty sure everyone knows how to roll a joint, but I see some people could use some practice so here are some tips!

Start with the rolling paper “sticky side up.”  Keep in mind that loading too little marijuana will result in a “pinner,” while loading too much will prevent the joint from closing properly.

Carefully shape the joint by rolling it back and forth until the weed in the rolling paper is evenly dispersed and cylindrical in shape.

Roll the bottom end of the paper up and tuck it over the top of the weed while pulling end to end (to ensure tightness).  Continue to roll the paper from the bottom up until only the sticky strip is showing.

Lick the sticky strip of the paper and seal the joint.  Lightly twist both ends of the joint so that weed isn’t sucked into your mouth as you inhale.

Hold the joint in your mouth (or in your hand as shown) and spark it up.  If the joint has trouble igniting, give it a few puffs and suck the flame towards the joint.
