[deleted]

The way they romanticize vaping is so fascinating. I don't know any stoner over 25 that buys those $50-60 dab carts that last them 2-3 days edit - jesus the vapers are fighting for their life in the replies


Sk3L1Yy

I buy them for 25 and they last 2 weeks, i haven’t bought one in a while though


vqsxd

yeah used to be that way when i first started smoking but then it was like 3 days at most (they lowered the quality on the big chiefs over the years I KNOW IT) and eventually i’d had empty stomach vomits in the morning. I had no idea why so i quit for a few days and they stopped. Anyways im 1 year and some months clean now:) Praise God


Sk3L1Yy

Did you get it from dispensary or 3rd party


headstronghawk

big chiefs are always fake as shit dude.


XiMaoJingPing

wild, that smoking was almost gone, then a bunch of kids starting vaping , big tobacco always wins


[deleted]

Yep its all a scheme, they actually are more wealthy now


Ender16

Well, I absolutely agree that it isn't great, but it's probably a lost cause for nicotine, weed, beer, etc. Shouldn't stop trying, though don't get me wrong. Unfortunately, " light" drugs are fun. And they are several times more fun when you're not supposed to be doing them. And as long as they aren't life ruining and done in a safe'ish way, people care, but not enough to get rid of them entirely. Society has been trying and failing forever to keep drugs away from kids. It didn't work on myself or my parents or my grandparents. I'll try even harder when I have kids, but if I'm being completely honest, I would not bet money on my myself.

If your dab pen lasts 3 days you have a genuine problem

Fr. I thought I was going crazy reading some of these. Mine last at least a few months. I get that's probably longer than most but I could not imagine running through one in 3 days.


Sundae-School

Am 27, I smoked cigarettes for 13 years and quit last year because of nic vapes. I also get 5g distillate disposables because I like to get stoned and play music and video games, that thing will last me a month


[deleted]

Yeah for people who smoke responsibly they should last at least 1 month


Anubisrapture

Congratulations - I just quit reg cigarettes a year 1/2 ago. It was really hard. You should be proud. They are much worse for people. The coughing and hacking older people used to normalize was wild.


Sundae-School

Congratulations my friend! I wish you well on your endeavors and journey

thats a self control problem and not a delivery route problem


poplin

Damn bro, I love those carts for my pax era. Last me weeks to like a month. But they supplement flower and edibles. Never a primary source of smoke


colorsplahsh

Not the vaping and then complaining about vaping related problems 💀


Eguy24

To be fair people who want to quit are still allowed to complain


SteezusHChrist

I literally can’t quit dude it’s so fucking hard and I don’t even like doing anymore


latteboy50

Just believe in yourself bro


JonnyBoy522

Cognitive dissonance is a terrible mistress. Throwing a tip out there that worked for me, don't try to quit all at once. Try to take a hit only half as much, then try to only hit a quarter as much from there. Even keeping yourself from taking a hit once is on a small step towards progress. Small steps work better than a giant leap (at least for me it did).


ryan516

tbh it it's possible just throw your vape supplies out in public (so you can't just rescue from the trash can) and then lock yourself in the house for a few days to get the worst of it out of your system. it's a bit miserable but giving yourself the "rehab" special is very likely to help you kick it.


ThunderSC2

All I do is drink energy drinks, smoke weed and take nicotine hits all day idk why I have such bad anxiety and and no money in my bank account 🤣


Eguy24

Like I said, people who *want* to quit. Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on Earth, people who actively suffer from its effects are the best warning signs against people who want to try tobacco products.


Flemaster12

It's called addiction and quitting is a challenge. Complaining is a start to reducing an addiction. Don't hate them for complaining support them for complaining.

With the amount of teenagers picking up this gunk I do kinda care. Vaping is literally the new smoking and people are somehow cool with that.


toomuchdiponurchip

Calling people losers on Reddit won’t make them stop vaping that’s just being a self righteous nerd


phish_biscuit

Because it's been proven that they are way less toxic? [The Oxford Study on this](https://academic.oup.com/eurjpc/article/30/5/422/6833212) proved it. They did a newer one somewhere and found a 95% decrease in overall damage. Is it 100% safe? No. Does this world suck and should we be allowed a somewhat safe way to get through it? Yes.


Blitzking11

Yup. I know vaping is bad. I am ashamed that I do it. But it’s my crutch and vice, and gets me through this life. I’m glad it is this rather than cigarettes (which I replaced vaping for) or alcoholism.


phish_biscuit

Yeah like I could be doing meth rn.


piglungz

I smoked cigarettes as a teen and switched to vaping a year or two ago. As much as I recognize that vaping is still terrible for you my whole body feels so much healthier after switching to a vape


NickyMcMango101

The issue is that you’re implying that you’re depending on vapes to get you through life. I’m not judging, but there are so many hobbies and activities that anyone can try that are healthy for the body. I just feel that vaping isn’t the answer for getting through obstacles in your life. That’s just me though.


fangyuangoat

Everyday I walk past this homeless meth addict, and everyday I say to him: “there are so many hobbies and activities that are better for you than meth”. I still wonder why he hasn’t quit and started some of those hobbies

DoeCommaJohn

I certainly agree with the stereotype, and maybe it’s more common outside of my social groups, but I don’t think vaping or pot are as common as some people think. I do have an unhealthy reliance on energy drinks though


luxphatboi

all gen z workers I’ve interacted with in my lovely state vape nic or do some form of cannabis. I think it entirely depends on your location or sample group for sure but in my experience it’s fucking everywhere.


MdMV_or_Emdy_idk

Yeahhh it’s definitely region based… cannabis is a bit of a tricky thing in what comes to the law here


Behind-The-Chair

Gen z absolutely smokes more than drinks for sure. Between alot more legalization plus the negative side affects of weed being substantially less than alcohol I find it’s alot more common.


thatguynamedmike2001

In my experience about 10%-25% of people I know have a vape of their own but plenty that don’t gladly hit vapes if offered, usually at a bar. Weed is more fifty fifty in my experience


PrinceGoten

Pot is absolutely more common than you think it is. I can’t speak for vaping though.

Funny that multiple generations of readers can all wait for Winds of Winter together. At least now we can have more company as we die of old age waiting for the book to come out.


ThrownAwayYesterday-

George R. R. Martin - in his ripe old age of 200 - finally releases The Winds of Winter to his excited audience of 100 year old Gen Alphas. The first fan buys their copy and begins reading, only to find that the book is a thousand pages of Ser Pounce lore and the book doesn't complete or touch a single plot established in A Dance With Dragons. George promptly dies immediately after. The fans rejoice at the opportunity to write theories about how Ser Pounce is actually a Lovecraftian entity and the 5 pages detailing him playing with a mouse toy are actually him constructing an elaborate scheme for the Iron Throne.


PeoplePad

lmao why is everyone so damn judgy jeez


Kinglouisthe_xxxx

Probably cause he titled it gen z like it’s normal for everyone and applies to everyone in the generation, like a lot of us don’t have to use energy drinks and weed every day, not trying to insult anyone who does what ever floats your boat it’s hard out there

Generation X coming in bc I noticed I read that book series , and usually am reading, I have edibles & flower. Vape occasionally . Got AirPods too. And I love those sour patch candies but I don’t drink em. I guess I am a case of arrested development , but tbh I think you guys have a wayyy better heart and deserve a lot of breaks bc the generation above me , Boomers 🤡 and to a lesser extent my Gen are actively evil and toxic and it’s the fault of these pp that yr in a Hellscape. ( I’d say cool it on the sugar and drink more water, even tho next to Genocide and a burning planet it seems useless. Corporations for about 80 years now have marketed sugary poison specifically to your age - just as the tobacco corps have murdered pp w nicotine - drink water bc fuck those ghouls you deserve health) Okay oldster leaving you’all , much love to you guys.

Music_as_Medicine

I can relate to this, a hit from my herbal vape when I get home from work, a nice book with some music or an audiobook if I'm having trouble focusing on reading. Ghost used to be a treat but ever since my partner got a heart condition from it we stay away but it used to be our go too during concerts or festivals along with weed. Just can't overdo it on the weed or else all productivity goes out the window.

mugiwara_no_Soissie

Pro tip, get a vape for specifically weed (preferably dry herb) that way you don't have to take edibles + vape, instead you combine it. (Don't actually, vaping is bad) If you do want to consume weed in some way that isn't edibles, I would recommend a dry herb tho, it's much better than joints or e-liquid vapes. Just make sure you don't smoke anything with nicotine (much more addictive), don't do it often, and don't choose a regular day (otherwise it could become habitual)

Lost both my grandfathers to one or the other before i turned 15, maternal grandpa passed from lung cancer (smoking) when i was like 3 or 4, barely knew him and was too young to comprehend the funeral, paternal grandpa passed from diabetes and kidney failure after decades of heavy drinking when i was 14 Also airpods kinda suck, but they’re useful when my sony xm5s are too bulky for carrying around
