Hi. I am a severe asthmatic and initially was frightened even to vaporize. Fortunately, vaporizing is pretty easy on my extremely twitchy lungs. I now use a MFLB. The MFLB enables me to control the amount of vapor and its degree of heat. Vaking herb does have a mild bronchodilator effect, which does help at times. Though my lungs are so screwed up, even the heavy duty nebulized medications don't always work that well. On the other hand, when I am nicely vaked, the dyspnea is less aggravating. I also do use edibles. But, no, I cannot smoke anything...even second and third hand smoke will irritate my airways. In fact that's a good test for me...my lungs spasm after contact with any smoke, but they rarely spasm with vapor (I have combusted once or twice, accidentally over the course of a year of MFLB use.) I am also frequently on large doses of prednisone.....which increases my already prevalent insomnia. The herb helps the insomnia, as well, though not through the entire night.

I don't see the end of the mouthpiece on the pic. So still don't know how to attach it. I've did this with my EQ: http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/9416/whipconnection.jpg
Well, a glass piece should be better, but the vapor is cool enough from a whip so you can use almost any material heat safe or not.
Another pic I found for an EQ (not mine): http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5620/extremeqwithraintree.jpg
Well a pic of what mouthpiece you vape has should be helpful.

If you have the option - go to your local head shop and pick up a small tube. I would suggest NOT going the el-cheapo acrylic or even ceramic and just get a plain jane clear glass water apparatus.
I picked mine up for like $50. (Aqualabs has a good selection as well) You can also look into getting an adapter that will work with your EQ tubing (or as stated before) stick your hose in the downstem.
Good luck!

Bloody Asthma has been playing up lately :/ its so annoying because i really love my EQ but it looks like i gotta go back to edibles for a while,its winter here in the U.K so everyone has colds & mine has gone to my chest so better be careful,still want to try connecting my EQ to a bong when i get round to buying one but if that doesnt work i guess its back to edibles & saving the EQ for special occasions
As a fellow asthmatic my advice is to always keep temps low and draw slow->moderate, if its irritating speed up your breathing a bit
always use a long whip, the increased cooling helps a lot for me
water filtration = key for any major sessions, so much less harsh for me, even ripping as hard as I can with my SSV

I have asthma too, and honestly dont find vaping agitating to it. I use albuterol in the evening once ever other day or so. I have noticed with my vape that it helps if I take slow more shallow hits rather than long ones. I get the same effect. And it feels so much more natural. My days of zig zags are over just like my days of breathing in like a vacuum cleaner.

Just ordered some glass which should be here in next few days,interested to see if it makes a difference

Kush please
And if you don't seem to notice a difference even with the glass you ordered you could try a log style vape as a last ditch effort. I just got my Rockzap a couple days ago and my lungs are thanking me already. The tokes are smaller, but thats kind of a good thing. The flavor is still there and you use less weed for the same job, And it's not irritating on the lungs IMO.
I too was waking up in the middle of the night with breathing issues and in order to fall back asleep I was having to use ventolin, same thing happened when I took tokes out of my Q even through my SG stemline.

Chib surely connecting my EQ bag to some glass would be smoother? Oh well will give a try & post back when glass arrives

I've done this before but I find that the vapor in the bag actually irritates me more than directly from the whip. I have absolutely no idea why, but I find after 1 single bag my lungs started to hate me.
If you'd like to try it, you can blow an elbow at 190-200ish and get all the green goodness from the bowl in 1 bag, Just connect the silicone to the other elbow piece when the bags full and connect it to your favorite 18mm bong and enjoy!

I don't understand what you mean by clean air path? Mine seems pretty clean here is my new set up just basic but very smooth definitely better than it was before the water really cools the vapour even more
