    I just don't think you lose that much when it trails when you're not smoking it.

    Efficiency goes Vape > 1 hitter > baby pipe = joint > average bowl > blunt IMO. But what do I know:p
    1 hitter gets #2 spot because a skilled smoker can get a 1 hitter to deliver a couple vape hits before the weed itself combusts.
    The way I think about the -5% of weed wasted in a joint... fuck it! that J was convenient as fuck.

    How do you get a 1 hitter to get the same hit as a vaporizer?

    If you can do that, couldn't you do it with a pipe?

    for me, i never get as high with a joint as with a bong or even a pipe. its a different high. with the bong, it's more of a quality high, plus i think i savor the smoke more if its from a pipe or bong which affects the high too.

    but i've also got so fuckin high from a blunt too. but i was savoring it then too and cuz we smoked two i guess. idk hahaha but in my experience, the more you savor the smoke and the experience in general, the higher you'll be.

    I recall that someone did some testing and found that pipes used 25% less herb than joints.

    If you are smoking solo, joints are bad. They burn while you are holding the toke.
    If you are smoking in a circle, they burn while being passed, but that isn't as long as the time-of-unused-smoke-while-holding-a-toke during a solo smoke.

    Joints are very inefficient. You lose over half the THC you put into the operation. If your aim is frugality, stick with pipes, bubblers, bongs, that kind of thing. I'll still smoke joints all day baby :ssmokeit:

    smoking joints is a little wasteful, i guess, but there is something so classic and wonderful about it! reminds me of my younger days when we smoked stress joints and reserved our bongs for chronic. nowadays i can't even find stress! now that i think about it... i roll like a half gram in a joint, and if i smoke bowls i could stretch a half gram to last like almost all day.

    As I said.. skills. =P
    Using the classic one hitter (cigarette mimic), I hold the lighter well under the weed, and the hot air heats the weed without charring it. And the vape taste is very distinctive, all those who have used electric vaporizers know.
    To answer your question about using a bowl, you'd need to turn the bowl upside down.. which is not a great idea.. maybe if the weed is stuffed way in.. the key is catching hot air from above a lighter

    Although I do think joints can be a waste, there is just something classic about smoking a joint. The way I roll a joint I could fill my one hitter like 6 or 8 times. For me a one hitter will get me pretty blazed with one or two refills. So, for weed conservation a one hitter is the way to go. But if I am fat with Weed. I am going to roll a jay or two.

    Smoking in general is inefficent, but Id have to say blunts and joints are the biggest waste. You ash off some, some doesn't burn, etc,..

    I havent used one, but I think a Vape is the best as far as getting the most THC out of it.
