Why I love Dry Herb Vaping for Cannabis (and how to avoid some pitfalls!)
Vaping has been in the news after a significant spate of recent severe pulmonary illnesses, prompting both the AMA and the CDC to issue statements warning against the use of vaping cartridges. If this had happened a year ago, I’d have been crestfallen. I have entries on over 30 different cartridges I vaped, as for a while it was exclusively what i used.

It gives many of the advantages of cartridges, without anything additive to the cannabis.
I understand why people use cartridges — the convenience and stealth factor are both huge. I find that dry herb vaping can offer those advantages as well along with a couple of other perks.
