Personally, I don’t love anything as much as I love joints. A joint is the most wonderful thing in the world. Pure bliss from beginning to end, everything from breaking down the weed to twisting it and finally getting that first lungful… fuck I love joints. Anyway what about y’all?
Well, I discovered dry herbal vaporizers about a decade ago. Bought my first started making accessories for it… and the rest was history.
These days I have literally countless dry herbal vaporizers in my collection. Aside from edibles, dry vaping is the only way I do it. In order to avoid building up a “tolerance” to the device, I make it a habit to cycle through devices once or twice a year switching to something else (sometimes more powerful cloud chasers, other times very discrete under-powered handheld devices).
I truly enjoy switching vaporizers because it allows me to reset my habits (load sizes, temperatures used, draw rate, etc). Sometimes I can cut back to less than a gram a month (once or twice a day medicating) and other times I can ‘burn’ through a lot more lol.
When it comes to the style of dry vaporizer, sometimes I enjoy direct draw, or I enjoy vaporbonging with a waterpipe. For social gatherings, I pull out my Arizer XQ2 and start filling balloons for friends so everyone gets their own bag of vapor to enjoy at their own pace.
Not to mention dry herb vapes produce ABV at the end of your session, which can be reused in edibles. Dry herb is the best way to get your monies worth.
Heck yeah! I love using a sous vide to make budder with a bunch of ABV. I then use the budder to make delicious rice krispy treats which have an insane sedative kick.
This is da wae.
Joints are cool when I’m with friends but I can’t imagine smoking daily without my vape. There’s no smell, no dizziness, no foul mouth and I can easily load 0.05g which does get me high enough for a typical evening.
I have two vapes, one of them I can put into a bong and I’m getting ready to buy a third.
Tell me which devices you had and what you’d like different in your next device, plus a budget - I’d be happy to point you in a direction. My position in the industry has allowed me to handle literally dozens of devices for the business, and my friend who also works very high up in the industry has literally every dry herbal vaporizer made in the past 20 years, plus some that were prototypes and never released to the public.
I have a fun unbiased opinion of countless dry herbal devices hahaha
What’s your opinion on the Fury Edge? I’ve only had a few dry herb vapes in my time, and I’ve really been enjoying mine for the past year or so. But I’m not sure how it compares at a similar price point for a portable vape.
The fury edge is still a fine vaporizer - it’s a middle of the road portable. The oven size is decent, good enough heatup times, and good battery life for that price point and size. I was pleased with the original HealthyRips Fury.
The HealthyRips Rogue is a newer device from HealthyRips which is a linear upgrade from the Fury Edge - slightly larger oven, slightly larger/stronger heater, and slightly larger battery. But same mouthpiece and flavor profile.
There are upgrades you can take from the Fury Edge, but if you’re happy with what you got, I wouldn’t stress about the need to upgrade unless there’s something specifically you want (like better vapor flavor, larger oven, faster heatup, etc)
