Combustion vs Vaporization craving/addictions disparity

Is it just me or is it so much easier to take tolerance breaks and moderate consumption with a dry herb vape compared to actually smoking cannabis. I’ve been struggling for years to control my cannabis consumption and have failed every time. Rarely could I even make it out of the house without at least one bong rip to start my day. Smoking at least 5-7 bong packs a day on average for the last 8-10 years of my life.

Since switching to a dry herb cape I’ve been able to refrain (rather easily, relatively speaking) from smoking until getting home from work (5-7pm depending on the day). My withdrawal symptoms are also not nearly as intense as when I’ve tried stopping smoking cannabis previously.

Of note, I do exercise pretty intensely every morning so this also probably helps my withdrawal symptoms.

Is this just me or does anyone else feel this way?
