Hi there, everyone. Happy Thanksgiving. I give thanks today for having found this place and all of you! You’re awesome!! 
So I was about to momentarily hi-jack Krista’s thread I was reading to ask this question but I figured that might be a bit rude so here I am going to ask it here.
I heard about the lobo here on this forum first a couple years ago I think, and have been reading about it off and on here since. And after reading y’all talking about it a few days ago @Krista @StonedCold13 @merlin44 @Deadhead @SeaOhAreWhy and with black Friday sales upon us 
I took the leap and have one along with some accessories heading my way. But I feel I should have posted this first, but I can always return it unboxed. Here’s my question and I’ll try to keep it short. If y’all haven’t figured this out about me yet, I can’t seem to keep any of my posts short. 
I am a proud member of the baby boomers, the tail end of it but a baby boomer all the same. I also think my sniffer doesn’t work like most people’s and as a consequence, my tastes may not be the same. I have a hard time describing the smell and taste of weed like a lot of you describe it. Especially the taste. For me, there’s nothing like it. I love it, especially when it’s top quality, exhaled through my nose, brings me back to the days of sinsemilla, tai stick, Lebanesian blonde hash, and hash oil of the late 70s. Hard to find these days. Besides the high, the taste is just as big to me. Since I started growing, I’m on a search for strains that meet that high bar of excellence.
I have COPD. I’ve been smoking weed 50 years and I smoked cigarettes for 40. My wife and I quit smoking cigarettes going on 6 years now. I had tried to replace cigarettes with a vape pen I bought years before we did quit, and I think vaping could have been something I may have been ok with had I stuck with it and not gone back to cigarettes. But I’ve always felt it was a waste of money, vaping was not really my thing. My wife quit smoking everything. She consumes her cannabis in edibles now. I never say never, but I don’t do edibles and don’t think I ever will, but that’s a subject for another lengthy post
But half the reason I smoke cannabis is the taste of those fine, quality terpenes. And because of that, I smoke in one-hitters. Smoking a joint or a bowl is fine, but once the flame is put to the top of the bowl, the first hit has that fine taste, but every hit after is crap, to me. A joint is not so bad after that first hit, but still not good. So I smoke out of a conventional pocket pipe (mostly) or a glass bong and load one-hitters and breathe out that pleasant taste with every hit. Been smoking that way for decades. That’s a part I don’t want to give up.
I suspect the reason that fine taste is gone after the flame is put to the bowl, is because it heats up all the trichs/terpenes within the bowl with that first torch and they’re gone. I’m hoping by controlling the temp on the Lobo, the terps will not all evaporate with the first draw.
So, how many hits are in one dosing capsule? Do you know, or can you taste whether all the terps are cooked with that first hit? Do you get that fine taste through the whole session or just the first hit? I don’t suppose I can load single hits in the dosing capsules, can I? I watched a couple videos and from what I gathered, it needs to be full to burn properly.
I hesitated taking this step because I’m just not a vape type person. I get fixed in a rut and I don’t like change. But I know, from how much smoking is tearing my throat and lungs up, that I’m going to have to make a change in the future, so I’m trying to be pro-active so I can get used to it before someone is trying to force it upon me. I am a text book example of a grumpy old man.
Thanks for reading along till the end.
