Neither, I prefer dry vaporizing to combusting these days - it's healthier, tastes better, and I can customize what the affects feel like (different temps cook out different medical benefits from the plant)

But I still enjoy combusting socially when someone is passing something around, but I absolutely prefer flavor chasing with a dry vape

First off, I totally love your site. I've ordered a bunch of stuff from you haha.

I didn't realize different temps have different effects as well. Do you have a chart or description of what effects the different temps have? Thanks!

Woot! Happy to hear it! Thank you for your patronage - this biz is purely a labor of love with no corporate overlords. I am constantly innovating and pushing out new widgets to keep things exciting on the website.

I didn’t realize different temps have different effects as well. Do you have a chart or description of what effects the different temps have? Thanks!

There are a few charts floating around, but I don't exactly agree with all their data - some of the temps listed on these charts comes from single studies with minimal testing.

In very general terms I say low temps below 375F for a more cerebral creative uplifting affect, while temps over 400F work better for sedation and pain relief (higher temps especially for pain relief). Some people like to enjoy a low-temp sesh in the morning, and cook the remainder of the bowl in the evenings at a higher temp. The fun part is the ability to take a hybrid or indica and extract only the sativa-effects from the plant (which is inefficient as you won't get many big clouds, but it can be done which is handy when the options are slim).

The fun part is self discovery - start at 300F and work your way up 15F at a time, see how you feel

I’ve been kind of noticing the same with my pax lately and I’m glad you put into words what I’ve been intuiting

Here's a quick guide

Why can't we just let two baddies thrive in peace? Not everything needs to be a competition.

To answer your question though, joints. I can't split a blunt to save my life, but the blunt papers are dope and work just like regular rolling papers

[–] SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Not gonna be picky. Let's fire em both up.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

personally prefer blunts, but only smooth all natural tobacco leaf - but either works - enjoy both

[–] jscummy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This one's actually a hemp leaf wrap - rolled up a lot easier but I do miss the little bit of nicotine

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

oO touché; even better

[–] pudcollar@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I bought a commercial pack of pre-rolled cones and have been working it down for years. I've never messed with tobacco. Vaping dry herb is better but I'm lazy.

[–] mihnt@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Blunts or hemp leaf stuff. Love me some King Palm .5g wraps.

[–] Inky@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly, despite being a regular user I don't think I could comfortably smoke a blunt on my own.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same honestly. Your comment made me stop and think about it. Sometimes it's a little tough for me to finish a j on my own.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I smoke spliffs (weed and tobacco in a paper roll).

[–] Qkall@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

yes.

but joints

[–] Sammy@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Jooooints. My pref. Gimme dozens.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Neither, but only because I can't roll for shit. Bong all the way. Unless someone else rolls.

[–] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These little rollers are fantastic. They roll perfect cigarette shaped joints and you can get longer ones for blunts.

[–] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh shit I haven't seen this in a while. They were a huge help.

[–] Chadsalot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Depends on if I want tobacco or not. If I'm feeling that extra buzz and I'm out having a good time with friends then definitely a blunt. If I'm at home vibing with a game or something then joint.

[–] EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

More the four, then blunts galore.

Four or less, is a joints success.
