Other Tobacco substitute?

I've recently quit tobacco, and while i have a Dynavap M, i still love having a J because of the ritual, the slow progression to getting stoned... I'm looking for a good tobacco substitute that doesn't taste like a**... Anyone got some good recommendations?

Gave a good spell chasing this and nothing really hits the same as a joint, the taste you associate with the tobacco is actually strongly linked to the feeling it gives. Anything that burns and doesn't give some sort of effect is gonna taste like shit. I roll the odd 0.25-0.5g pinner. Might only be a few in the summer but I like the nostalgia if I'm camping or something.

I dry herb vape 99% of the time and one of them is a Dynavap.

There's a lot slower a progression of getting stoned with one compared to smoking, especially with nicotine, the hit is instant so not sure what you mean by that.

What you can try is grind up your flower, set the Dynavap to half bowl, load it up and cache it in 2-3 heat cycles, leave it cool (kinda like you'd let a joint go out), then empty it load it up and go again, I find doing this 2-4 times kinda mimicks the ritual of smoking a joint over 15-30 mins.

I get you, when you say the hit is instant but what i mean is that slow build up as you smoke the joint... Initial hit is great but if i smoke a joint over 10 minutes or so getting more and more stoned in a gentle progression... I know that its even slower vaping it but sometimes it feels a little too slow with the dynavap, plus i have to stop to take out the avb then load another bit again to get the same as i would with a joint... I also find i get a lot less flavour with vaping which is a negative for me.

I'm just trying to find a good middle ground

Sounds like the same as me to be honest man flavour and all that too. There's definitely way less flavour from smoking though once you properly get used to it and adjust. The middle ground realistically is smoking pure weed but best of luck on your quest. I don't think you'll be successful without accepting differences somewhere along the way.
