I was the same way, and not that you asked but story time: I picked up a Crafty (convection vape, can do concentrates or bud) about 4 months ago and quit actually smoking. I'm a daily user. A couple months in my roommate walks out with a fat j and offers me a puff, I take it - immediately disgusted. "Is there tobacco in this? Shit weed? Why is it so acrid?"

I honestly thought it was a spliff or complete leafy shitty bud. It was the same dispensary top shelf I'd been vaping for months. The stark flavors of "burnt", "smokey", "acrid", etc were jumping out at me in a way they never had.

I was completely stunned at how much of a difference there is between vape and smoke. It wasn't apparent at all when I was doing both, but god damn getting away from smoking was an eye opener. I stick to vape now after that. My cough is gone, throat clearing throughout the day is gone, I consume probably 30-40% less over time, and I get to see all the stuff NOT going into my lungs when I empty it out. Meanwhile every night I hear my roommate damn near hacking up a lung as he cruises through blunt wraps.

Any other regular uses out there I cannot recommend a dry herb vape enough.
