Does vaping still effect your lungs?

I have slowly been transitioning away from vaping towards edibles largely as I've been realizing vaping, especially concentrates, definitely still have an impact on my lungs, especially for regular medical use. As someone who tries to be as much of a health nut as possible, I've noticed vaping too much makes me feel lethargic, a bit lightheaded if I inhale a few big hits too quickly, and definitely makes me more prone to headaches and dry throat/coughing etc. No where near as bad as smoking obviously, but never the less I've noticed a difference converting to mainly edibles. Just wanted to see if I was alone or if others noticed this as well. I am definitely a health nut and much more so than I was even 6 months when I may not have even noticed the effects of vapor inhalation. It is subtle at most as long as you aren't pounding bags back to back from the volcano haha but still I feel cleaner all around using edibles vs. vaping

I'm with you ...

I use cannabis recreationally and for me, vaping and edibles are not interchangeable because the high that I get from them are so different.

It's hard to manage the high wth edibles for daytime for me. I need to be able to get stuff done. If it hits me too hard it takes a long time to go away. I think if a person had capsules of oil that were tested for THC and CBD levels that would work better. I suppose they have those in my state but would cost too much.

Vaporizing doesn't bother my lungs. I do have the same problem with concentrates bothering my lungs so often I sandwich the shatter or wax between the cannabis. If my vapor gets too harsh I turn the heat down.

With vaporizing I can control the medicine and my medicated state which works better for me. I mostly vaporize flowers.

I save edibles for evening and sleep. I have to be careful I don't get a cannabis hangover for morning. I don't want to wake up sleepy.

Yup. That's the main thing that I don't like about edibles. I don't like being high for that long.
