Which do you like more.

Not for reasons such as "It's not damaging my lungs" for the vape...

which do you enjoy more, and why?

the reasons i prefer the vaporizer are: it doesn't smell up my house (live with parents, need to use in bathroom), it tastes much better, and i think the duration and quality of the high is actually better along with only inhaling pure THC

I'll go with Irish on the smell and the taste. Weed smoke, though not nearly as much as tobacco, stinks compared to vapor. Same for the taste. I also like being able to take huge hits of vapor with ease, which I can't do with smoke. The high is also preferable to me most of the time, although late at night I may prefer to occasionally take a couple of pipe hits for the 'sleepiness effect'. It's nice to vape instead of smoke if I want a buzz earlier in the day. It gives me that energetic high . With smoke I feel like all the energy's been sucked out of me.

Vaping allows me to get extremely high without worrying about getting panic-y or anything like that. I still smoke, but when I do I have to take it slow because sometimes it makes me feel bad for a few minutes. Plus, vaping tastes better, it conserves weed, and has little to no burnout when you're coming down.

Well, I'm odd man out on the smell of smoked ganja - I absolutely love it.
Insofar as which I prefer, that's a hard one. The effects are so different.
Smoking is a more complex high. The strain one is smoking becomes more apparent IMHO.
Sativas more cerebral, Indica a body knock.
Less = more when I 'smoke' - again it seems I am in the minority with this one.
It also (unfortunately) lends itself to more of a, for lack of a better term, feeling of paranoia. Definitely tough on the lungs as well.
I also find that I get hungry a lot sooner when I vape. This is certainly of benefit medically to those whom eating is otherwise a forced chore.

I have been fascinated to find that vaping results in a much cleaner afterburn , that is for instance, if I vape at night the next morning I not only feel sharp but markedly so. Very cool
Vaping with it's high concentration of THC is cerebral by nature regardless of strain type and vaping a righteous sativa will blow your hair back like that 1st roller coaster ride down at POP
(may she 'rest in peace')...

A couple of your statements ring a bell with me Sterbo.

"Less = more when I 'smoke' "

You do get more chemicals/compounds with smoking, and some of them provide the drowsy, lethargic feeling we associate with the mj high. So you do get more total effect with smoking.

"if I vape at night the next morning I not only feel sharp but markedly so."

I'm with you here too. The drowsy effect from smoking lingers into the next day. How much effect you get I think depends on how much you smoked the night before and the strength of the weed.

So if you're able to choose your method-vaping and/or smoking, you can get the effect you want. I like to limit my smoking to a small amount, since it bothers my lungs, but it is nice to occasionally combine the two methods.

Hey 5drive -
Interesting - I have always gotten pretty wired when I smoke (or vape). Once again this seems to be a rather atypical response but that how it affects me. I must say that it pleases me as such especially since I have never had any problem sleeping - regardless of whether I've smoked or not

Yea, I'm rather fascinated by this actually. I have a great metabolism and am wonderfully healthy so to experience such a response is something I will be looking into. The continued discoveries of how marihuana affects us physiologically is quite something. I should note that we all owe a lot of thanks to those in the Medical Marijuana Movement for pushing a lot of new studies forward.

on a vape i am able to take bigger, longer hits than i can when i smoke, so i think i am able to get more thc into my lungs at once. to me, the high seems cleaner and more energetic. i also feel more comfortable knowing that i dont smell like marijuna, so it is psychologicaly more relaxing to me.

when i smoke, i feel very high but very heavy. i cant take as big of hits from a pipe compared to a vape, but, if i hit a bong i can take hits just as big as a vape. comming down from your high is also more heavy and tired than when you vape.

while i've only had my vapormatic for a day, i already missed the zombie effect of my hi's and i actually can't believe I am saying this, I miss that yummy tasty smokey flavor

Use both methods. Vaping is great if you want to maintain a higher energy level. Smoke a bowl if you need to hit the sack or just tranquilize a little. Alternate-smoke a little, vape a little. Combining the two gives you a high you can't get with either. Variety is the spice dude.
