smoke it in a bowl and don’t load so much of it. i wouldn’t want to mix it with anything, but that’s just me.
The charcoal filters stuff is interesting. I went about my health a different way. I replaced my heat source from the common lighters to an herb iron. What a HUGE difference in many ways, including cleaner glass. I didn’t realize how dirty my glass got from the lighters until I removed them from the equation. World of difference. I have COPD and used to smoke tobacco, 3-5 packs a day for 20 years. Joints are how I stopped that habit. 6 months in and my lungs aren’t getting better. That’s when I purchased my first Herb Iron. June next year will be 10 years no tobacco, 5 years no combustion. Granted I don’t smoke anymore yet I still use the Herb Iron, with the glass vape attachment. Vapor bonging is my daily driver, my fav. I figured I’d share my experience. Thanks to the Herb Iron I didn’t feel the need to use the charcoal filters. I may just for the experience. Thanks for the post(s).

Nah, no pleasure for me… small and fast hits don’t make me happy, I need some minutes smoking and chilling.
Charcoal filters may change the taste, defenitly healtier than unfiltered, vaping is an option but I am stubborn to try out new things specially if They won’t work on me, like the bong I got, I am very happy to go with a cheap bong because I don’t like it if I use weed+tabacco mix and weed alone is still too harsh on the throat and lungs, so it is nice if I want a ocasional hammer, bong is the answer but for daily use as I smoke 7 to 10 joints a day it isn’t the answer plus I need to be discrete.
I really would love to kick tabaco out of equation, I think sometimes I smoke a joint for the nicotine addiction instead for the need of weed itselft.

I got the Arizer Argo in October and used it four or five times. Until I read this, I forgot I had it.
The Arizer Argo is well made, convenient, and a cool invention, but to me, it’s just not satisfying - the high always feels incomplete compared to a bong or joint. It can get you higher in a clean focused way, but its just not a full high as I’m used to after thirty years of smoking herb. Even Sativas are missing a little something and sometimes a lot. Also the effects fade faster with the vape than bong. So you have to hit it more, which might work for cigarette smokers.
The vape is much lighter on the throat and the taste of terps can be good as well as controlling the temperature for various effects. I don’t think it tastes better out of a vape than a bong, but some people say that it does. It’s interesting as a grower to taste terps that way. It does help you know the plant better.
I would trade the Arizer vape for seeds or grow supplies to someone that wants to try to cut out combustion.
It’s an arizer argo that retails for around $100. It works and looks like new and the stems are easy to clean and replaceable.

Well I got a Flowermate Aura like 2 months ago and I use it mostly while driving.
For me I can say that the high is there with the vape but quite incomplete for a joint smoker who is used to the nicotine and tabbaco, bong gives a bigger high.
Vaping is a stealth way to don’t go under, I was in the hospital 6 days and the vape was like a life saver for me.
Vaping is also healthier and a smaller dose can hold longer than a joint.
But by the end of the day, nothing as hold the joint and smoke it slowly, turn it on your fingers…
Honestly I was trying to loose the nicotine but the vaping experience makes me want a joint.
I agree that if you start vaping instead of smoking may be the way for a healty thc dose and may be the future with all the current war on tabacco industries and lobbys that will kill the smoking lifestyle we are used to.
I might be wrong but this is what I think right now that I have all 3, joints, bong and vape pen.
