Welcome to C/Vaporents! This is the place to discuss your dry herb vaporizer, share gear shots, and get support from the community.
This is a general community for all vaporizers. Vapcaps, electric portables, desktops, PID powered injection ball vapes, or some artisan experimental one of a kind.
Beginners and those speculating the hobby are encouraged to make post asking questions.
Feel free to share deals to your favorite gear going on throughout the year so newbies can get a heads up.

r/trees was the largest sub dedicated to cannabis in general. It is the habit of referring to those that frequented the trees as "ents" that morphed into "vaporents" as a discrete sub-community of weed enthusiasts who eschew combustion.
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 :)
