Note: i refer to delta-8 and THCa flower

From what i can tell vaping appears to be the cheapest way to enjoy your herbs. A d8 .510 cart is $12-$20 for a 1g cart and each cart has ~150 hits so each hit is $0.08-$0.14. Now edibles on the other hand sound super expensive. A 1000mg (1g) thing of d8 gummies is $60 for 40 gummies or $1.50 per gummy. Each of these gummies have 25mg of d8 in them. To vape 25mg would need ~5 hits and cost $0.40-$0.65. Or am i way the fuck off base and fucked up my maths. Always did suck in that class.

Edit: i have also heard that vaping is better because it uses much lower temps and doesnt burn off most of the terps before they get to you.

    I really, really wish people would stop calling carts vaping, or that we had a new term for dry herb vape.

    Pretty tired of hearing accusations at dry herb vapes when they’re just uneducated and referring to carts

      I hope I did not offend. At the moment i am using carts, but at some point i do plan on getting a dry herb vape too. It would seem to me that dry herb would not allow you to control your dose as well as a cart. The dry herb vape i have seen (planet of the vapes one) turns on and uses the whole chamber in like 3 minutes which would be to much for me at the moment. Where a cart auto draw pen lets you control it better.

        Don’t listen to that guy. In 25+ years I’ve never heard anyone refer to dry herb vaping as anything other than dry herb vaping and with the popularity of e-cigarettes, I’ve never heard of anyone refer to carts as anything but vaping (or carts).

        I was referring to another comment, use carts at will im just saying it causes confusion

        As for dry herb vapes, just put less herb in. There’s no rule that you have to fill it all the way. You can also mix in other less potent herbs

          Ah, i have heard you cant pack a bong to loosly but good to know that you can with dry herb vapes. Can you just turn it off before it toasts everything or does it waste herb while cooling down? Because if you can turn it off that would work too.

            You can turn it off, and with the planet if the vapes 1, you can also get something called dosing capsules. They make it so you can fill the capsule with your herb, put the cap on it, and drop it into the one to vape. Keeps it cleaner and if you turn it off early you can take the cap out to use again later.
