No, this isn't some silly gimmick and I'm not trying to sell you anything. Basically, the following method will get you higher faster with less herb--period!

I've been calling it the "double breath" method, but you're surely able to take as many breaths as you can handle.

Simply: after a hit from your vaporizer, exhale and then immediately take another hit. (And another and another if you wish.)

I've been in the medical field for the past 5 and a half years and this didn't dawn on me until recently. This might get a little too technical so you can just do the double breath method and be happy if you don't wish to read on.

The reason why this method gets you higher faster and with less herb is that it better saturates your lungs. There is a tremendous amount of surface area in your lungs but air has to pass through the trachea, bronchus (main, then lobar, then segmental), and then aveolar ducts until it finally reaches your aveoli (the microscopic air sacs that oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse through). In one breath, it is very difficult to exchange all the air currently in your lungs with fresh air you just inhaled. You can easily experience how much more volume your lungs has by noting that you are still able to force air out of your lungs after exhaling a normal breath (this is the same for inhaling as well). So every breath you take, you are not actually exhaling all the air you inhaled the breath before. By taking one hit after another without stopping to take a breath of fresh air, you are building up higher concentrations of THC vapors in your lungs; it's like adding more and more drops of food coloring to a glass of water. Furthermore, with vaporization you don't have to worry about suffocating because you are inhaling THC vapors along with fresh oxygen! Essentially you could do this indefinitely, though I'm sure at some point you would forget what you were doing and take a breath of fresh air (as I have experienced). This method also causes me to cough a bit more than usual just because the vapors are getting into parts of the lungs that aren't accustomed to the heat and steam. I wouldn't recommend this method with smoking or using bong because you're actually displacing oxygen with the combustables from the plant, though, I'm sure it will work the same if you wish to do it (just don't do it too much or you'd get a massive headache from depriving yourself of oxygen over and over).

I hope you enjoy this new method. For me it was like falling in love with pot all over again. The first experience of the double breath method was a lot like the first time I had ever gotten high.
