It is also a cleaner delivery mechanism for THC than combustion.

Yeah, but maybe avoid the black market weed carts. EVALI was caused by black market weed carts using vitamin E acetate (which isn't going to be in nicotine juice because nicotine plays nicely with vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol, THC doesn't) - the feds busted the manufacturer shortly after people started getting sick and I haven't heard about EVALI since then, so presumably nobody else is trying it at the moment, but the lack of widespread reporting about it being from black market weed carts is frankly criminal.

And still boomers in the government went after legally obtainable nicotine vapes, instead of doing anything for the fact it was black market THC vapes.

In States where it's illegal, it's still illegal. In States where it's legal, they could have cracked down on it.

And in my home state of California, they banned flavored vapes for "marketing to children" but didn't touch flavored alcohol or anything similar.

Or avoid carts completely and get a dry herb vape. Then just add your flower, and it heats it to vaporizing temperature without combusting, no added chemicals at all.

Lots of options but I'd recommend an xmax v3 pro as a good starter one, usually under 100 Usd.

I too went dry herb for a long time, even have a Mighty+ that I really enjoyed, the thing about the pens though... Much less smell, much more stealthy, and one cart can last very long in comparison to dry herb.

In a non-legal state, pen is just safer imo

But yes, stay away from black market as much as you can

Dry herb vapes rule!!

Wait actually? I was always under the impression that disposable thc vapes were fucking terrible for you. Do you have any links for me?

[-] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Disposable THC vapes ≠ vaping flower or even dabs

The reason those carts are bad is because of what they're made of and what people put in them. Using cleanly made concentrates or just flower in most types of vaporization set ups is much better for you than either the carts or the combustion.

Ahhhh, that makes sense. I do really enjoy dry herb vapes so maybe I'll get one of those or make my own concentrate

I do get sticky fingers from my gummies sometimes, but maybe cleanliness is not the sole quality I should focus on

[-] DrFuggles@feddit.de 7 points 11 months ago

not OP but I'm pretty sure they don't mean disposable vapes (which should not be used by anyone ever due to their environmental impact) but rather the herb vaporizers you can use to put ground weed in and then inhale the vaporized contents.

I got one for myself and it's just an all around swell experience.

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 5 points 11 months ago

Yep, I like my dynavap. It's a much more pleasant experience than a joint or pipe.
