Trying To Understand The Different Vape Tech (E-Mesh, Rigs, Mods, etc.)

[Clarence]

I've been reading a lot of threads about vape setups and I'm still a bit confused about the different technologies. I was hoping some of you could help clarify a few things.

From what I've seen on the forum, people seem to use several types of devices:

• E-mesh setups with a box mod (like Aegis Solo + mesh RDA)
• Dab rigs or e-rigs for concentrates
• Vape tanks with e-liquid
• Wax / concentrate pens

At first I thought an e-mesh setup could be used for DMT, THCA isolate and 5-MeO-DMT, but now I'm not sure if that's actually the case.

Here are some questions I'm trying to understand:

  - Are different types of vaporization devices better suited for different substances?

  - Is e-mesh considered a general-purpose vaporization method, or is it mainly useful for specific compounds?

  - When people here talk about rigs or concentrate vapes, how are those different from a box-mod + RDA setup?

  - Are there reasons someone would choose a dab rig or e-rig instead of an e-mesh setup?

I'd be grateful for any clarification or shared experiences.

A vape cartidge is sufficient for 5 meo and thc dmt you might not break through with a cartridge bc the dose is pretty high 

 

Electronic dab rig is overkill, you can just get a handheld device like the lookah seahorse for a quarter of the price and you can take it with you  . Or make an Emesh.

So, if I understand correctly, a simple vape cart with juice works well for THCA and 5-MeO, while e-mesh devices are mainly used for DMT?

Do you know why an e-mesh without juice wouldn’t be good for THCA or 5-MeO?

What do you think works best between something like a Lookah Seahorse and an e-mesh setup?

@Clarence no it is good I'm just saying a cartridge is sufficient for 5 meo dmt or thc. Altho I wouldn't use an emesh for thc, it's specifically designed for dmt . If you don't want to bother with making a cart you can just use the e-mesh for 5 meo. 

e-mesh is best for dmt, but the lookah is a good lazy option

@Oppositionless Thanks a lot. I'd like to figure out both methods, ideally. Do you know specific models of vape carts that work well?
