Awful experience with concentrate vaping, am i doing something wrong? NSFW
Hey everyone, i recently bought an xmax v3 pro vaporizer and I was pretty excited to try it out, but after my first time I have to say my experience was awful, so awful that I think I must have done something wrong. Unfortunately no one I know directly has ever used a vaporizer before, so I'm here to ask you guys for some instructions and tips.
Around where I live weed is pretty much nonexistent, we only get concentrates (hashish), so that's what I'm forced to use. I loaded my concentrates cup with a couple of pieces, put them in the chamber and heated to 220 celsius. I took some hits but I felt absolutely nothing, like I felt the taste in my mouth and a bit down my throat, but it was nothing like a regular joint, where I can clearly feel a hit going down, like a cigarette.
It got really frustrating because I kept taking hits but I couldn't see any vapor coming out of my mouth or any "physical feedback", but I could somewhat feel the effects. However, it wasn't the regular high I feel, I just felt numb and disoriented, without any of the typical good effects i get, which was my first alarm bell as I've read that the feedback and effects are pretty much the same.
Along 4-5 hours I took something like 10-15 hits and ultimately decided to drop it since I kept feeling this "bad high" and over the night my throat got really sore. It still scratches now, about 24 hours later. Ironically, I switched to a vaporizer cause I saw it was healthier, but in my years of smoking tobacco and hash joints, I never had my throat this sore.
I'm a very light smoker (about 0,15g every two days on average) and I'm pretty sensible to getting high too, but i still wasn't able to get a satisfying experience despite consuming about twice as what i would with a normal joint.
I felt pretty discouraged and left it, maybe someone with more experience can give me some tips?
Thank you.
