I'm trying to understand the vape thing but all I have ever tried was a cheapo thing and I just didn't get it and the one I tried really didn't work well I don't think but why is it said to be so much better for you than smoking? I'm sorry for the silly questions but I really just don't understand. I also saw on your box a tag for $249.00 is it really that much? If also heard people talking about making butter and such with their vaped material. Why would there be anything left if it had been vaped? Can you enlighten me if you don't mind please????......I'm enjoying my Vapir Rise so much I decided to get a portable one for the road. After reading all kinds of reviews I decided on going with...
I'm loving it so far. It's so easy to use!

Thank you so much for the info.....Vaping is better/easier for/on your lungs, IMHO, that is the main benefit. The smoking process physically destroys the cannabis and releases toxins in the process. Vaping only heats up the cannabis to a point which vaporizes the resins that contain the THC/CBD, leaving the plant material intact. This process does not extract 100% of the compounds and anywhere from 10%-40% can remain depending on how completely the cannabis has been vaped. This is based on the temperature of the vaporizer, the quality of the vaporizer's vaping process, the number and length of hits, and so on. BTW, smoking does not extract 100% of the compounds either, but it leaves nothing left from which the remainder can be extracted.
Good quality vaporizers are much more expensive than bongs/pipes/etc. but like with LEDs they more than pay for themselves over time. I was able to purchase an Arizer Extreme Q Vaporizer w/Case and a VaporGenie SS Vaporizer w/Case for under $300. I don't expect I will ever need to replace the Vapor Genie, the Arizer will need replacement at some point in time but with the lifetime warranty on the ceramic heating element and the 3 year warranty on labor and parts, it won't be for while.
Thank you. Guess it's just one more thing I am going to put on my wish list......The first time I tried a vape was after a Christmas party where there was a lot of drinks so it was a little hard to know exactly how good it worked. Then I decided to try it myself and bought the Vapir Rise for home use. We both loved it after the first try. The draws are much smoother, don't cough nearly as much (actually it's odd if I do cough), and it tastes so much cleaner. Also the high is a little different, it's kinda hard to explain...
From what I understand the main advantage of vaping is that you don't get a lot of the other toxic compounds created in the burning process. When you vape you're just extracting the compounds you want and leaving all the nasty plant matter behind.
And yeah, the Pax is one of the more expensive portable vaporizers coming in at $249. There are other cheaper brands out there but from what I've been reading about vape's is that you get what you pay for. The Pax is so convenient, there are only 4 parts, the mouthpiece, the part that holds the material in, the screen, and the main body. Fill it up, put the cover on the chamber, pop up the mouthpiece to turn it on and within a minute it's ready to go. And then to clean it only requires a little rubbing alcohol and a pipe-cleaner. A lot of people on the web seem to say it's like the iPhone of the vape world. And the best part... 10 year warranty.
Not only is it possible to leave some compounds (THC, CBD) in the plant material, but there are also a couple other cannaboids that are not vaporized at the normal vaping temperatures. I do a lot of baking anyway... Having extra material to bake with is not a problem at all for me! LOL
And many thanks for all the compliments everyone! I'm thinking I'm just going to relax for the rest of this month and get caught up on some of the other grow journals I've been following. I also have a trip planned at the end of the month so I don't want to have to worry about plants while I'm gone. I can't wait to get the next grow started early May.
LOL! Yeah... These Auto AK-49 say they only get 30-50 grams per plant, but total grow time is only 9 weeks. I'm thinking I can put in some of the bigger yielding plants and one of the Auto's. This way I can get the Auto done quick, pull it out, and then have the extra space needed for the last 4-5 weeks of the regular two high-yielding plants.some autos get a decent size to them a lot of them are just midgets
The only thing I would do better with them is get better circulation. After drying I did discover some mold on one of the bigger buds. Fortunately it was only one spot so it must have been just starting. I harvested at just the right time. After finding it on that one bud I looked at every one under a micro-scope and didn't find any more.
I cut mine down when I saw some amber here and there. It was a little tough to tell how everything looked under the LED. Now that I had a chance to see it after harvest and drying I would have went for a higher amber ratio. There was still a lot of clear trichomes, more than I would have liked. But now I know what to look for next time. LOL
I had it in 12/12 for 89 days and ended up with 157.56 grams from one plant.
