Newly dried weed much more potent smoked than vaped?

[Boohiss]

Hi all

 

First time grower here seeking knowledge, my weed is dry and been put into Mason jars for about two weeks now, I've been vaping it and found it mild in strength and frankly a little disappointing then yesterday I thought I'd try smoking it and only got half way thru the joint because it was so strong!

 

My Vape is a good quality one so why the huge difference? And do you think that after a decent cure the potency will increase?

 

I know some people just prefer smoking over vaping but I'm not one of them, do you think the difference is down to the newness of the weed e.g. Hasn't cured properly yet?

there was another thread about this recently - https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners.com/topic/63760-vape-or-bong-what-am-i-doing-wrong/?hl=+vaping%20+or%20+bonging

 

im sure your answers will be in there.

Just wanted to add, my understanding of vaporisers is that they work best with very dry herb. It may seem counter-intuitive, but you will get thicker vapour if it is dry rather than wet.
