Yes it's intense, it's definitely the quickest route to onset and intensity of effect (which is great for someone like me who uses primarily for medical reasons). If smoking flower is like drinking a beer, dabs are like doing shots. Absolutely the best taste, too. Doing them regularly will fuck your tolerance though, and mostly ruined me on the taste of smoking.

If you're primarily into flower and not a heavy user i would try dry-herb vaping flower instead of smoking it, I highly recommend it. Finally got on the Dynavap train and can't say enough good things about it. Super efficient (I'm still in awe of this), you can taste your herb instead of smoke, waaaay easier on lungs & throat (I've never coughed on a hit). Amazing for microdosing & working your way up to your preferred high too.

Oh yeah I'm a dry herb vaper myself and I looove the taste you get on the first few pulls.

I can't really handle getting super stoned anymore so I definitely won't be trying dabs it seems lol

I do have some dry sift hash I want to try though, guess that's as hardcore as I'll get and even that intimates me.

There are 1:1 & CBD concentrates, tho I've never had one that tasted good. Every dab I've tried w/ CBD tastes icky (I swear they all taste like weed mixed with Pepto Bismol)

That sounds terrible. I've been debating making some homemade rosin and giving it a try. Where'd you get that cbd dab stuff from? I can't imagine the type 2 bud I have tasting bad, it's delicious in the vape that's so weird.

Maybe it's just me. I've had a few strains of flower in various ratios of THC:CBD that were pretty good to smoke, but in dabs I've yet to try anything "high CBD" that didn't taste off-putting. All my CBD concentrates have been from Oregon dispos.
