So I have used a resin vape pen, a thc disposable and edibles and while the disposable makes me cough if I inhale wrong, the dry herb vape will straight up make me throw up due to little bits of weed getting inhaled. Is it a technique issue or maybe I ground it incorrectly,

Sounds like you’ve ground it a little too fine and maybe you’re sucking too hard on the inhale.
I’ve used an Airizer Solo II for years and it’s my preferred tool at this point. Once it comes up to temp, I “sip on it like a cup of tea”. I’m inhaling just hard enough to pull air from over the herb as it’s toasting, in a long, slow drag, not a hard hit like on a joint or a bong.
Hopefully it’s just your technique keeping ya from enjoying the dry herb vape life, as since converting from combustion, I’ve saved tons of money on grass since its so efficient.
I think op is grinding it too fine, I also use an arizer air and only have the dry bits in my mouth if the weed is super dry and grinds too fine, and if the glass piece is freshly cleaned
Have used a variety, currently Dynavap and Storz & Bickel gear are my preferred tools.
Sounds like you could be missing a screen, herb’s too fine or other.
Make and model of vape would be helpful.
I posted the make and model now. Looks like this model didn’t come with a screen. Maybe I should make one, there is plenty of room in the mouth piece.
You should be able to get a pipe screen from any smoke shoe and cut it to fit. Sorry you’ve had that experience sounds terrible
I had the second gen Crafty with improved battery capacity and a Crafty+
And now a Mighty+
If that ever dies I might try out the Venty.
I love the caps. They make for easy cleanup and another layer of filtering.
Here’s a link to the manual for your vape.
It mentions a silicone screen in the mouthpiece, does yours have one?
Looking at the mouth piece: the outside is hard plastic while the inside that attaches to the device appears to be silicon, though it doesn’t seem to be a screen.
Probably a safe bet somebody else fucked it up before graciously making it your problem, or lost something and forgot about it maybe, who knows.
Here’s a replacement mouthpiece from the manufacturer. Supposedly it comes with the “platinum-cured silicone insert” that makes it so you don’t need a screen?
Maybe it’s all marketing bullshit and it’s not a great vape, or maybe you’re missing parts.
I think it might have been marketing bullshit. No wonder the model was discontinued.
Since you’ve already got it and the cost to try is minimal, I’d say trying to cut a screen to fit is a good idea. They can usually be had for just a few cents at smoke/vape/head shops.
The only one I’ve ever used is a Pax 3. I never had a problem with inhaling ground herb. I think my first troubleshooting step would be to make sure you packed it full and tight, it should come out as a little puck when you’re done.
Seconded for Pax. Buy one and youll never have problems with dry herb vaping.
We’ve got a dry herb vape specific community here on Lemmy as well. /C/Vaporents on Lemmy.world.
It depends on the style and how fine the screens are. While it would be more efficient to grind your weed really fine, you shouldn’t need to.
Got a link to the one you have? I dunno if a picture would even help, but someone else here might have the same one… Dunno.
I have posted the model now.
Yeah no idea how those work. But to prevent yourself from sucking up ground up weed, try using some sort of screen. Might need a bit of diy depending on the dry herb base size and shape but should be pretty doable.
You’re not using the same one you vape resin to vape dry herb, are you? 🤨
What sort of a vape is it? Is there no screen between the mouthpiece and the weed?
Idk man, never used vape pens really. Handheld vaporisators like the Mighty, yeah, but that doesn’t probably count as a vape pen.
I posted the model.
