Heathly use of a Vaporizer

Yeah man you're doing fine, its real obvious when the weed burns cause there's a distinct taste of smoke and a completely different one of a vape, if it taste like hitting from a bong then yeah there's a problem, but from what it sounds like and the temps your using there is absolutely no reason for concern. As far as health aspects I tend to notice that a vape tends create a some gunk in the lungs, but it goes away much quicker then the smoke gunk, well at least for me. Then my last thing to say is I just let my vape warm up for 10 minutes then load the bowl and start smoking cause the bowl only gets heated from the air going through it (when the fan is on) so once the vape is warmed up you don't have to keep on warming it up, it would just save you a little time, but is really no big deal.

I'm getting a digital Volcano this week, so this was a very informative thread for me. Thanks to all for the advice, especially the stuff about cooking with your vape remains. What a great way to make sure you use all of the THC.

Remember that THC (or CBD/CBN can't remember) is a natural expectorant (think Robitussin). An expectorant helps to break down mucus in the bronchial airways and promotes lubrication of the airways. This makes coughing much more productive and helps to remove "bad" things from the lungs. On the other hand, smoke irritates the lungs causing them to produce mucus in an effort to "protect" themselves. The problem is "protection" make your lungs less efficient since it restricts the airways.

Think about it, I can take a big drag on an unfiltered cigarette with no couging involved through the whole cigarette. Do the same hit with weed in a big glass bong full of ice water and you'll cough your lungs out! It's THC, not smoke.

But I could be wrong......

peace

yeah man i do exact same thing, leave it heat up for 10mins, i usually have it autoset on a the 2hr timer. so when it gets to like 1hr:50min i pretty much know its time LOL. turning it on right after u just put the bowl does fuck all.
u could let it heat for 10mins on a high temp and it would fill with very very cloudy vapor. this stuff will fuck you up. i remember starting out with it, playing with the temps, i burned the first bag at like 220 degrees. fkn had a hard time finishing that, rips ya

Have a question about it though. Do you set yours at 365 like it says.. or go higher. i set mine at like 370-375. and Are you suppose to see a thick cloud in the bag? I kinda like it like that because i know i'm getting the goods...

edit: not super thick... just so enough you can see it

yeah typically I see thick clouds, and its definitely a good thing ;).

I always do my bags at 375.

but if you have some good bud you want to get the most of, pack a crucible full then do 1 bag at 350 then another at 375 with the same crucible ;). 2 bags, one fat bud.

edit: reynolds turkey oven bags . .

oh yeah they're MUCH better than the bags it comes with.

they're like 5x bigger, don't crinkle and shit when they fill up, plus they're cheap and in every grocery store you can find most likely.

youll figure out your own system with the temps and such.. I dont like mine really cloudy, i think its a bit harsh to inhale.

are these reynolds turkey oven bags just like any normal oven bag?

im in aus, we dont have anything like that but i did look them up on ebay and theyre there!

i just bought 4 original backup bags for my extreme, cost about 20$

might see if the oven bags we get here would do that trick otherwise i might purchase some of these reynolds ones off ebay. thats sweet.

Well, I had a bit of a hassle getting mine, but it's finally on the truck and ready for delivery today. I ordered mine a week from last Saturday, but they were out of stock, even though it didn't say they were on their website. Then, the customer service rep told me they got some in, but she was wrong. Finally, on Monday, I sent them an email saying that I was getting ticked off and wanting to know when my vaporizer was going to be shipped. They finally shipped it late Monday and were cool enough to throw in a $60 carrying case for my frustration. If they hadn't done that, I don't think I would have ever used them again or suggested others do so. Thank goodness it's finally coming today. I've developed a cough lately and want to quit smoking so much.
