I've been dissed by some younger users for SMOKING! Apparently, I'm supposed to "vape" now to be cool. I bought myself a cheap vaporizer, but am unimpressed. Any thoughts?
Don't ask me how I know this, but setting the temperature correctly is the key to getting the benefits of "vaping."

You want to have it well below the combustion point of the material you are vaporizing, but still hot enough to produce vapor. It's been too long since I've used any of that stuff to remember what the proper temperature range is. It's a range because moister material needs a higher temperature than the drier matter.

I will also say that even back when we were all long-haired smoke-doping hippi, we somehow managed to achieve the desired effect using the older method of inhaling the smoke. So I wouldn't worry too much about these young snipperwhappers.

You are certainly a prolific early adopter

In my very limited experience, the Roku gambit is far superior to the vapor thing
