[GeneralQuestions] A question for those who use shatter/concentrates

I use THC to help me sleep/alleviate the pain of chronic insomnia when sleep is impossible. Before coming to this subreddit, I wasn't even aware of the existence of things like shatter and concentrates, E-cigs and vapes are not common where I am. I recently invested in an e-cig, and am considering investing in a micro-G tank or some other concentrate-ready tank.

However, I have a few questions for the subreddit:

Given what I'm trying to do, would I be better off sticking with regular old bud? Would shatter be better? Or is there no real difference in the effect?

Is shatter a better bang for your buck price-wise?

Are there any drawbacks to shatter that the average uninitiated individual would be unaware of?

I've been using concentrates for a while now and I find that they are much more cost effective than flower. I also feel more profound effects from wax. Also, if you plan on getting into concentrates I recommend getting a rig instead of a micro g pen. I get much higher from rigs than vape pens and pens tend to waste oil.

I feel that concentrates are a much more effective medicine. A couple hits of a concentrate and I'm good to go, too many hits and I am struggling to stay awake. If I buy a gram of wax and an equal $ of flower the wax always lasts longer, but this is subject to how you smoke and what you end up paying. Drawbacks are, additional equipment required(e-cig, torch and rig with a nail, dabbers, silicone containers). It can also be a mess to work with. I tried to answer your questions if you have more let me know. It comes down to one thing, if you feel that bud is not as effective then definitely look into concentrates.

I think its funny you posted here. I'm subbed to r/drugs, r/trees, r/eldertrees and r/drugnerds and this would be the last spot I'd think to see this question, OP you're silly :)

(I love my Cloud pen btw, similar to the G pen)

I love shatter, and it doesn't stink as much when you smoke it from a vape. Weed makes me too anxious wax doesn't

I think bud is way better for sleep aid as there is low amounts of cbd in wax which is what helps with sleep. Wax keeps me awake
