Vapes vs. Joints: The Battle of the Better
Note: There are different vapes on the market—some use juice, some oils, some use cannabis flower and some use dabs. Make sure you choose the best one for you. Also, your alternative does not have to be a joint — it can be a blunt, spliff, or anything else you prefer!
The Craze!
The craze nowadays is the vape pen. Whether it is a cannabis vape pen or an alternative, they are currently the “in thing”. Typically, you see at least one person in public smoking a vape. It’s efficient, easy to carry, portable, and overall more convenient than a joint.
You can potentially spark up a vape pen in the middle of Target, but a joint? Not so much. It all depends on your preference as a smoker. I’m here to talk a little about the differences of both to help you figure out what you need.
For some, especially new smokers, joints can be harsh on your throat for a good few days/weeks before you gets used to it. With vaping (depending on the pen),you are less likely to have that. It often boils down to the brand. The cheaper options that are about $30–$50 are probably not going to be the best ones out there. From personal experience with a bad pen it can be just as hazardous as a joint the first few times around, so be selective.
Vapes VS. Joints
Now, joints are traditional—that much we do know. If you can roll it tight and smoke it right, you are good to go. However, some cannot roll, and some have less experience even smoking one so consumption may be tough, depending on the person.
Sometimes with vapes you can get jipped (according to a friend’s personal experience). One of my gal pals got jipped on the juice she got in her pen. You often do not realize it until you’re at home, and at that point you probably don’t want to go all the way back to where you got it from. I mean, I would because I paid for it, but some might simply not have the time.
Be aware that vapes also have the tendency to leak. You may want to watch out for that. It may not be often, but it does happen. For joint smokers, your weed is going nowhere.
Vaporized Cannabis?
The pro about vaporized cannabis is that there is no smell. If you are out and about and just want a quick puff, you can have that as opposed to a joint that is smelly and can be less convenient to consume.
While vaporized cannabis does cost less, at the end of the day, depending on how much you smoke, the prices may end up being just about the same. Keep in mind, you still have to buy the actual vape, which can get costly.
There are some claims online that vapes gets you higher than a joint, but that depends on the person, and that is neither a pro nor con. Your high is strictly based on your preferences.
Check It Out!
Watch out for some vapes that cost almost $300 (and based on reviews are not all that great). I would research YouTube and Amazon reviews to see if it’s worth it.
I would also go to a medical shop and see what they may have there. Cheaper options may be suitable for you to start, simply because it allows you to try it out and see if you’ll like it.
If you do not want a cannabis vape and prefer a regular one, that option is there too. It is 2017, possibilities are endless!
Enjoy!
