zone_coasting Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I've been reading on here that people seem to prefer their bud 'bone dry and finely ground' for vaping. Am wondering what humidity do people go for when drying their weed; is it worth drying to around 62% in the jars still, or do you like to get it down much lower than this in curing? Is 20 - 30% not better to aim for ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it depends on the consumption method, 62 % R. H. may be suitable for smokers but i've observed that's seriously defeating pulse heating in my vaporist pipe. Good day, have fun!!

Hippie on hill Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I've heard some people say you need dry material to vape and even recommend to dry the herb over a lightbulb for the best experience with certain vapes but I'm not convinced and still keep mine at 62% for the best flavour in my opinion. You get a faster extraction and bigger cloudzbro with bone dry material but I think it tastes kind of stale and lifeless to me. I doubt that it'll make much difference but I'm gonna pick up some 55% Integra Boost or 58% Boveda packs next time to compare with the 62s I'm using at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly because that's not pulse heating as that which was chosen decades ago for analytical devices where secondary denaturation by heat was also a serious issue. IMO humidity in an electricity-based vaporizer only means more energy gets diverted/dispersed over thermalization, while in smoking that's a convenient fire-retardant i would think.

stoned_ape Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I find 62% a little too wet - which is strange as this seems to be what most recommend. I like to be a few % under this.

Likely wouldn't end up with a great end product. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zone_coasting Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Thanks for the replies. I stuck my hydrometer in some of my jars around 8 months old which have been regularly opened, and was surprised to find they were still up around the 58% mark. These vape very nicely in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoned_ape Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Looks like you've stumbled across the answer to your own question, nice one. I also find that it grinds up finer & fluffier when it's <62%. Well ground herb just works better in a vaporizer, in my experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zone_coasting Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Just discovered that I prefer it at the bud at 48% rh. The bud crumbles nicely between thumb and finger, no need for scissors, and the vapour is nicer also. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
