Your vaporizer isn't the best. I know you probably don't want to hear that, but it's probably what the issue is.
Vaping should be giving you CONTROL over your high, not limiting it to a "different" high or "not as high". A good vaporizer will let you get any kind of high you want, once you get used to using it.
Whenever vaporizers come up over here I always see a bunch of comments about it being "different" or "not as strong". When it does come up, they are usually using some weird rebranded 20 dollar china vape pen or something.
If you are really interested in vaping, pick yourself up a nice desktop vape. If it has to be portable, there are a couple of decent portables out there as well. Expect to spend minimum of 80 dollars tough, and that's cutting it close. The good sweet spot seems to be 130-150.
I've used/experimented with quite a few different vaporizers (my current favorite being the Arizer Extreme Q) and the good ones will get you wherever and however you want to be with your high once you get used to them, with such a reduced amount of trees to get there you will think it's magic.
Whenever I introduce someone new to a vaporizer, I love to show them exactly what I'm doing. "This is what I am putting in it, it's going to be enough to get the three of us happy." Everyone's reaction is pretty much the same. "Yeah...I'll believe that when I'm high." A good one should pay itself off in one buy. For instance, if you pay 140 for your vaporizer and buy a 1/8th at the same time, by the time you have to buy another 1/8th, you should have easily saved 140+ on how many times you didn't have to buy because you are vaping. I went from a 1/8th a week to a 1/8th every 5-6 weeks. I have a friend that went from a gram a day to a gram a week.
Getting used to your vape is all about discovering what temps give you the high you like, if you using a low temp, you tend to get a more cerebral/mind high. At high temps, you get your body high. Make sure you are grinding your herb nice and fine before vaping, you want it as fine as you can get it.
