Effects of vaping every single day.

[xxsicknessxx]

I have a bad cough when I vape I dunno why. Had it for last four years. I've told my doctor's they check and say my lungs sound fine should I request a cat scan or something I'm worried about it. Also what's the effects of smoking weed every day. Like do I need to quit for a month? To reverse tolerance shouldn't it be possible to vape every day safe?

yup, lung x-rays, cat scans, whatever diagnostic tool they can offer - take it.

I smoke/vape every day and occasionally i’ll have a cough if I’ve overdone it on the smoking. but vaping legal cartridges has never caused me a problem. Last day w/o a cartridge hit was Feb 2020?

Vapeing seems to irritate throats more easily. can you pass your vapor through a bubbler?

i think oil is bad for your lungs no matter how you smoke it

vaping flower would be the way to go to clean up your lungs if smoking is still you're preferable route

Yes to @Mr. Krinkle! That is what I’m suspecting more and more. It’s just too concentrated to be sustainable for long-term use.
Organs and fats more easily accumulate metabolites from higher concentrations of product.

Plus, even flower is so potent now, doubling since early 2000s, oils are on order of magnitude stronger and lead to more damage.

I find vaping dry flower ok, but also very drying. Recently I started putting an orange peel in with my stash, and the vaping is a bit less harsh.

my non-covid sore throat sent me to doctors (phone appointments only) and to Ear nose and throat specialists, then I shifted to water soluble emulsified oral thc products, and my throat cleared up.
one nite I tried my pipe again and had a sore throat the next day.
I'm just doing water soluble thc these days.
it is faster acting than OIL,
XMG drops or Emprise nano hypernova. or YAWN.
all great and no throat problem.

vaping can be hit and miss i've noticed. When I was vaping nicotine, I was buying juice, not carts and never had a problem and I never had a problem with the Blu disposables but Juul fucked up my throat so badly so quickly that I tossed it and all the refills I got before I even made it half way through the first cart and some of the delta 8 carts i've tried made my lungs sore and made it hard to breath. All in all I'd say it has to do with a combination of your body specifically and the maker of what your vaping.

And yeah, it freaks me out a bit because we really don't know what the long term consequences of vaping are. at least smoking is a known evil.

I need to ask.

Does everyone cough when you smoke, vape, hit a bong etc?

I dont cough from weed at all. Some friends think im weird because i can hit a bong full and never cough. Had a few try to follow suit thinking my weed was mellow or something but they coughed their lungs out after trying.

I can cough from most normal things but hitting weed just doesnt trigger a cough reflex in me.

I only smoke flower and vape flower, i dont use any carts or shatter or anything else.

 

[Mr. Krinkle]

sometimes my lungs just end up a little dirty and i end up with a cough from hitting the bong too much....but no i don't really cough after i blow out a rip

usually ill have the cough in the morning and it clears up after that ....weed is an expectorant too so it all comes right up and im hockin loogies left and right and then ill move to vaping flower instead and my lungs clear up almost immediately

i moved to vaping flower when we started to get the wildfire smoke here in July and i never switched back and my lungs are super clear now

My hypothesis is that the cough reflex diminishes over time (until the curve eventually rebounds, of course), as the cilia (tiny hair-like fibres) in the bronchus gradually flatten out and cease to function. I used to cough, but then got used to it (as my cilia became more damaged).

The act of coughing or sneezing can even flatten or kill the cilia, so these gentle filter-fibres are easily damaged, but can regrow some time after removing the pathogen/irritant/smoke.

You just have good lungs @Yourbaker ! Most everyone I know coughs at the start of their smoking or toking journey. Then you get used to it and it becomes fun to laugh at the greenhorns for hacking up a lung. Until they keel over with a collapsed one, hehe (not funny!).

I do suppose that's really all it is.

I've really just started smoking in the last month so I would be the greenhorn in this case. I've smoked occasionally over the last 12 years and vaped a bit more often but primarily used just oil orally. But the damage to the hairs would be the only physical reason so your answer would still be correct regardless of how I've damaged them.
