help with vaping [View all]

i've recently started vaping instead of smoking, since daily use was irritating my throat. so far, my throat and i are happy with the results, but i'm running into a couple areas of difficulty, probably due to inexperience. any vape users who can rush to my aid?

1. transferring MJ from the grinder to the vape chamber
thanks to MS my coordination is kinda shitty, and i tend to spill during the transfer operation. i'm trying out using a small cooking funnel, but so far it's just moved the mess, since the MJ tends to get stuck in the funnel's outflow tube. any ideas on how to do this most effectively?

2. controlling the amount
now i've gotten quite proficient at measuring what i need into a bong bowl, and supposedly, vaping cuts back on what one requires for a high. however, i'm finding that in order to pack the vape chamber with enough MJ to keep it covering the exit on its own, i grind about 50% more than i'd typically use in a personal bowl. then i run the vaporizer, and it can fill the bag 3-4 times over when inhaling 1-2 bags are plenty to put me in the "good place". how do i correctly pack the chamber without decimating my stash?

any help is appreciated...
