You'd think that would work, but it doesn't and I don't know why. Maybe because you still get the same % in the hit but it just doesn't last as long? For people that use vaporizers like mine, you also need to have a certain amount for the vaporizer to be effective otherwise you get nothing out of it which leads to inserting even more weed and suddenly you have more in your system than you meant to. The higher percentage stuff is an instant panic attack for me whereas the low percentage allows me to actually enjoy it. I have an extreme sensitivity to cannabis though, so this doesn't apply to everyone, but I'm also far from alone on this. I personally don't care if they sell high % concentrations as long as they make the lower concentrations available too for people like me. Unfortunately finding the low-dose stuff seems to be very difficult. I ended up growing my own low-dose strain though and it's been excellent so far.

You probably know this but just in case, some vapes are better for microdosing than others and will work with just a pinch.

What I've been doing is buying CBD flower online (usually <$75 per/ounce) and mixing it with a small amount of THC flower. I can pack my vape full, still get big clouds, but have a tame effect, the only downside is that the flavor isn't quite as good.

The amount of flower doesn't seem to make much difference for me; it still produces the anxiety and panicky feeling, but doesn't last as long. For example I'll have 15 minutes of panic attacks instead of an hour. That's a great trick though, so I'll try it out with the CBD flower and see how it goes, thanks!

No.

Is this account's history that bad that I should've mentioned that in the negative? ha

Just curious when I see a product recommendation here.
You can actually throw a wad of sterile cotton into your vape to fill the chamber. Pax even sells a half pack lid for their packs.

For your case you can also cut your high dose stuff with a cbd only strain right in your grinder to whatever ratio you want. The ground up weed would be no different at all from a low dose strain and certainly a lot more accessible.

That's just not something people who smoke pot very rarely are going to do.
