I vape once a day before sleep most days (can’t sleep without it, I’m old, tried everything else). I also use an edible (vape let’s me sleep, edible keeps me sleeping).
I usually dry herb vape but on a recent trip I picked up a cartridge and battery. I find it’s less harsh (if temp is lower) but you need to take way more drags to get medicated.
To be clear, I’m a lightweight and typically do one “dynavap” which is about .1g I think.
Based on that, I think dry herb vaping is “better” than carts.
Thoughts?
Edit: homemade edibles in case people think I’m a Richie Rich.
I know on days where I have the luxury to smoke more than usual, I end up kinda wheezy with my breathing. Then again my usual is typically a super small dab to aquaint my throat/lungs, and something more normal sized. Then another normal sized one before bed. I predominately use it for anxiety, appetite booster and anti emetic, and sleep. I don’t have like cancer or aids or anything, just a shitty touchy stomach that has plagued me my whole life. Eating pretty much anything is guaranteed to make me nauseated.
But when I first got into it (as opposed to flower) I was way overdoing the amount I loaded each time. Ended up wheezy every day.
I’ve now cut it back to a fraction of what I used to load, and am having a much better experience over all.
Something about vaping it (carts, erigs, dry herb vaping) makes me cough a lot, where as burned flower does not generally. The exception is massive bong hits, but the bong I bought is fucking ridiculously overkill for personal use. I just had the money at the time and wanted something nice lol. Then one of my buddies had to quit for work reasons, so I’m looking forward to him coming over and trying it out when he can.
I have some concentrate in a syringe dispenser that I can use as an edible (rosin, I guess, new to that despite using cannabis for decades) and I can pop a little into a bit of organic cotton and into the dynavap.
With the dynavap and dry herb I get a consistent dose. I’m not really interested in getting baked so tolerance can be a good thing in my case since I can get a few things done before bed.
With concentrates I find it much harder to know when to stop so I just take about three drags and put it away. With the carts they don’t seem to have the same potency per hit which makes me think a lot of the vapour isn’t what I’m after.
Having fgured out the dynavap concentrate method, it’s a nice balance. I can use live rosin (resin?) and you can really load up that cotton so it’s like having a cart. I got four nights worth out of my last one (and it was a tiny fraction of the very affordable concentrate).
I will do more research to be sure I understand it but live rosin (resin?) in cotton is probably my goto now for convenience with flower on nights when I have more time. I still (like once a month) dig out a pipe and some hash and get nostalgic about the 80s. :)

Dry herb vaping is definitely better for your lungs than carts.
I do think so too. Looking forward to definitive research.
I plan on getting a Planet Of The Vapes ONE dry herb vape when i finish the carts i have left.
I use an erig for concentrates.
Typically 545 F.
