I haven’t looked to the Lemmy equivalent of r/trees yet, but I hope the rate of conversion from effing reddit to there is better than it is here… I really miss the large involvement. Were it not for r/vaporents, I’d have made many costly mistakes when I first discovered the joys of vaping.

      Need to? Of course not. I’d even venture to say that a great many who vape also like bongs or joints. Not me personally; I tried several times after going full on to vaping and I have to say the taste made me gag. It is like what I imagine licking a dirty ashtray might taste like.

      EDIT: Re-reading this, it came off somehow “elitist”-sounding, and that’s about the last impression I want to give. I started smoking herb in 1974 and did so to one degree or another (or ANOTHER, lol) until 4 or 5 years ago. I’d had a heart attack and getting the smoke out was a big consideration for me. Edible forms are decidedly NOT MY FRIENDS, unfortunately. I recalled once having used a Volcano owned by my daughter’s friend and being pretty impressed, until I was told the price. Upon getting my first vape, I was a quickly a convert. I’ll admit to “proselytizing” a bit as I firmly believe in the difference in health risk between burning it and vaporizing. I’ve also known a lot of people for whom vaping just does not do it. Given I feel that way about edibles, I’m thinking the differing ways we react to the stuff may not only involve the particulars about the herb your are consuming, but how you consume it as well.

      tl;dr: Sorry if that sounded snooty or something. [7] if that means anything to you :)
