When I use a vaporizor, am I supposed to take the bud and grind it up, then vaporize it?

And I don't have a real vaporizor, I just use a Pringles can. Is there something wrong with that? I get the vapors and everthing so I don't see why everybody doesnt just vaporize with a pringles can.

grind, yessir.

pringles can is fine... do you taste smoke?

if it smokes or you taste anything "funny" i'd switch to a glass bulb.
[i've posted my method of taking the brass off a couple times]

I usually try to grind it up. It just seems that it all gets vaporized like that. Im not using a pringles can. I got a hollowed out lightbulb with a soda bottle scre on it so it can screw into the bottle as a mouthpeice.

stupid question: how do you grind up weed? i've never used a vaporizer, i break my weed up semi-fine.. but what do mean by 'grinding' it up? thx.

Well, yeah, thats a good question!
How should I grind up my weed?
I dont wanna beat the shit out of it.

shot glass and a pair of small sharp scissors.

drop your bud in the shot glass, stick the scissors in, put your hand over it, and start choppin'. Works great for me...

They make grinders for this sort of thing. If its a little dry (or a lotta dry) you can sort of crumble. I ususally just rip it apart.

i've never had a situation where i could just rip it apart with my fingers.

but avatar's method is rather interesting... i'll have to try.
