I'm at work (priorities lol), what I mean by starters is ppl who are trying bud for the first time. If you have been smoking then I say its harder for those folks to find vaping to be a satisfying habit. In my opinion from light to heavy; vape, joint, blunt, pipe, bong in the levels of harsh throat hitting. The way of the vape is more peaceful harmonious feel, so to some it won't sustain. The folks that love the thick feel of cloud in your lungs or the heavey instant high might have to stick to burning or a personal vape with home made canna-jucie.
