hi divi! yeah the girls are beauties. they have everything from a strong peppery smell to a deep fruity smell. if only i could bottle the odors. 40 more days or so till harvest!
i'm an ex respiratory therapist so i'm aware of what's happening. i was just curious why i haven't been able to find any posts of anyone else having the lung problems i have after a couple grams through the vape.
i haven't had my lungs checked out in years and i think i'll do that. good idea! thanks!
Personnel opinion, from experience.
Vaping will make a person take deeper hits if they are ex-joint smokers. The longer, deeper hit will sometimes account for the harsher more toxic smoke you get from combustion. When this occurs, you obviously open more of your lungs, therefore more vapor is being absorbed in one go then there would if it had been smoke. You also vape more than smoke in terms of "hits/tokes", therefore quantity/speed and overall coverage for vapor users are increased when compared to smokers.
Take the typical example from users who only smoke cigarettes: Person A smokes a normal cigarette, whereas Person B smokes a "light" cigarette. "light" cigarettes usually have more holes on the cotton roach area, they also add more chemicals to make the cig "lighter".
When Person A smokes, he smokes as usual. If Person A decides to smoke what Person B smokes as a "means to quit/cut down" or for whatever reason, Person A will naturally not get his "fix" from the lighter cig, make him take deeper pulls, faster in most cases due to psychological craving after realising he's not getting enough smoke compared to a normal cigarette, therefore resulting in his lungs exposed to more smoke compared to smoking a normal cig.
I would assume this same theory applies in smiliar terms to your case?
