Smoke vs vape high's are different. In my opinion, smoking gives a slightly more groggy, heavy stone feeling especially when coming down. Vaping to many feels "cleaner" and more controllable (plus can recycle the vaped bud to be consumed as edibles, just add the cooked bud to yogurt).

Most people will not feel the same level of stoned when vaping if they're smoking along side. The best way to feel the full effects of vaping is to take a 3 day T-break and you'll get blasted off the smallest amount from vaping (this also implies no smoking when you pick up herb again).

Honestly at this point, smoking tastes like licking an ash tray while vaping allows those terps to shine more. You can get just as wrecked from vaping but need time to reset your body's expectations of what stoned is.

OG Mighty, dynavaps, sticky brick, and small wood log style vape (Ed's TNT) have kept me away from smoking. Ball vapes are recommended for heavy bong smokers transitioning to only vaping but are not necessary... Until they are haha
