I have smoked for 29 years. Paper and occasional blunts.
Last year, I got a vape pen that would combust the herb itself (No oils.. strictly bud). I have rolled a blunt 2 times since then (to compare) and have no desire to be rolling ever again
It has been the best change in my life ever. My summary below:
Cons:
No big cloud of smoke
Pen has to stay charged
Herb has to be fully ground out (a plus anyways)
Pros:
No big cloud of smoke. Discreet, but on the highest setting some mist can still be seen
Concentrated high
No tobacco from blunts.. no glue from papers
Easy to clean up.. Trash and tar left behind in vape pen.
The one I have is the size of a lighter (APX). pre-determined temperature settings, quick heat time
No overpowering odour. Done it beside police and no one could detect
No smell of weed on your clothes or fingers etc
No Darkened lips
Much less herb being used per session
Summary: It has helped to "wane" my usage down dramatically while still satisfying my need for discretion and a good mellow mood. Virtually undetectable and in my opinion, a much safer path to go on
This is what I am currently using:
