Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed?

I just recently switched from smoking flower to vaping concentrates... wax, crumble or shatter.  It is like 60-90% THC concentrate and much easier to deal with than having to grind, pack a bowl and smoke.  One tiny little amount is very potent - just drop it into the heating chamber and vape.. usually one decent hit is about the same as an entire bowl of ground flower.  And you really have to be careful of how much you take of these concentrates.  If you go too far, you can start to feel very nauseous, light-headed and everything starts to wobble & cavitate - in a scary way.  If you don't keep your eyes open, it gets worse and you can sometimes vomit and/or pass out.  The last listening session I had, I was vaping some hybrid crumble and it was amazing.  Once you are in the zone, it is like you are floating with the music.... total trip.
I still have the Eastern Electric DAC... recently put a really old NOS RCA tube in.... sounds amazing.

Move to Carpinteria, CA and all you need to do is step outside your door and breath the air to get your fix of weed. Carpinteria, CA maybe the center of the "legal" weed industry in CA. I used to live there but that smell was too much for this non-smoker.

I enjoy eating good herb and listening once in a while.

Buy a better dac and smoke less.

Edibles are my least favorite way to enjoy, too much a body experience without enough brain for my tastes.  And I have found the vaping pens to be sort of "monochromatic" in the buzz (I have several friends that have come to the same conclusion).  I still much prefer some sweet, new, potent leaf - - it brings a fuller spectrum high IME.

And a better DAC still brings more fun to the table, IME!  A good tube roll can be the equivalent of an upgrade, too - - no doubt about it.

Your answer can be found in this little nugget from the 1970’s:

“Weed will get you through times of no DAC, better than a DAC will get you through times of no weed.”
