Smoking vs. Vaping Delta 8 Flower

Up until recently, the standard way to enjoy some fresh delta 8 flower buds was to smoke them, in a pipe, rolled into paper or in a bong.  That still remains an extremely popular way to get the dazzling effects of the plant, but there’s another method that’s come along in the last couple of decades that’s proving to be quite popular as well, which is vaping. 

Both vaping and smoking are great options for enjoying Binoid’s delta 8 flower, and if you’re not sure which one will bring you the most satisfaction, let’s compare them to one another.

Smoking Delta 8 Flower 

Smoking delta 8 flower relies on combustion, which means applying a flame to the flower to produce a smoke that’s rich in the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other valuable compounds found within the plant.  

Pros:

• Smoking Might Be More Bioavailable: Many people say that smoking gets them more high than vaping delta 8 flower.  This likely comes from the higher bioavailability that you get when smoking, since smoke is denser than vapor, and so it carries a greater density of the active chemical compounds in the product.  
• It’s a Dependable Method: Smoking delta 8 flower offers the reliability that comes with an analog method.  Vaping technology is advanced and reliable, but there’s always the chance of malfunctions, or draining your battery without realizing it.  With smoking, there’s no technology that can suddenly go wrong.
• The Pieces are Part of the Fun: A great thing about smoking is that you can buy beautiful pipes and other pieces, as collecting them can be a hobby in and of itself.
• The Flavor and Aroma are Stronger: Again, with smoke being denser than vapor, the flavor and aroma that come from the plant’s terpenes are stronger as well.

Cons:

• It’s Less Discreet: The heavier nature of smoke means that it’s harder to be discreet with what you’re doing, since smoke is thicker and has a stronger smell than vapor.  Smoke also tends to linger for longer than vapor.
• It Can Be Irritating: If you have a sensitive throat, you may find yourself coughing more when you smoke compared to when you vape delta 8 THC, since smoke can be more irritating due to its lower water content.

Vaping Delta 8 Flower 

More and more people are turning to vaping to enjoy their delta 8 flower, with many vaporizer devices entering the market intended strictly for vaping flower rather than oils.  These devices range from user-friendly to advanced, but what they all have in common is that they use either convection or conduction to “cook” the flower and release vapor through the mouthpiece.

Pros:

• Vaping is the More Discreet Method: Vapor is thinner than smoke due to its higher water content, so it produces less of a cloud, as well as a smell.  And, it dissipates in the air quickly rather than lingering.
• Vaping is Less Likely to Make You Cough: You’re less likely to cough when vaping because vapor is naturally less harsh than smoke.  That doesn’t mean you’ll never cough, however.  Some delta 8 strains are prone to being harsh, and vaping at too high of an output setting can make vapor more irritating.
• You Can Make Adjustments to Settings: The large majority of vaporizer devices allow you to adjust the output level to get stronger or milder effects, which lets you really customize your delta 8 experience.
• It’s Portable: Without a doubt, it’s easier to travel with a delta 8 flower vaping setup than a smoking setup.  Flower is contained within the chamber of a vaporizer device, whereas in a pipe or in paper, it falls out easily.  

Cons:

• It May Produce Milder Effects: Overall, vaping may yield slightly milder effects than smoking, and effects that wear off sooner, because vapor is not as compound-dense as smoke.  Still, this might be considered a pro if you’re someone who has a lower tolerance and likes the milder effects.
• The Flavor and Aroma Might Be Milder: For the same reason as above, vaping delta 8 flower may give you a slightly more subdued flavor and aroma experience since vapor doesn’t carry the density of terpenes associated with smoke.
• Technology May Have Some Hiccups: Even the most expensive devices can malfunction from time to time, and flower vaporizers can occasionally have a hiccup that requires your attention.  You also need to make sure that your battery is charged regularly in order to continue enjoying your vaping hobby.  Once the battery dies, you’re stuck with no ability to vape until you get to recharge it.
• Vaping May Be Complicated for Some: If you go to the vaping route, you will need to understand how to operate the device and adjust its settings, as well as how to maintain it properly so that it can keep working.  This means that there is more of a learning curve with vaping delta 8 flower compared to smoking it.  

Which Method is Right for You?

Both smoking and vaping flower have their pros and cons, and at the end of the day, both are completely wonderful ways to experience the effects of delta 8 flower.  That means that it’s really up to you, based on which method is more appealing according to your needs and preferences.  Binoid carries top-shelf delta 8 flower that is just as enjoyable vaped as it is smoked, so as long as you have quality flower on your hands, neither method will disappoint.
