Note: i refer to delta-8 and THCa flower

From what i can tell vaping appears to be the cheapest way to enjoy your herbs. A d8 .510 cart is $12-$20 for a 1g cart and each cart has ~150 hits so each hit is $0.08-$0.14. Now edibles on the other hand sound super expensive. A 1000mg (1g) thing of d8 gummies is $60 for 40 gummies or $1.50 per gummy. Each of these gummies have 25mg of d8 in them. To vape 25mg would need ~5 hits and cost $0.40-$0.65. Or am i way the fuck off base and fucked up my maths. Always did suck in that class.

Edit: i have also heard that vaping is better because it uses much lower temps and doesnt burn off most of the terps before they get to you.

If you want to lower your cost even more, grow your own and buy a heat press to make your own live rosin. No solvents and the terpene profile is preserved.

Now for the hard part: vaping is still bad for you. Most people rip on their dabs like they are smoking flower, looking for big clouds, which is a big no-no. I personally take small pulls with extra air so it isn't so concentrated on each hit. I'd rather not prematurely give myself COPD.

Yeah, i am not after big clouds so my hits are not big ones.
