How long do you hold your vapor hits for?

exactly

@ Jens i had the same prob with vaporlot with the adress confirmation i could've gone with the ebay auction but than i had to pay shipping but Amit is a good guy so i didn't have to pay the shipping

I usually start wth a couple of big deep hits that i inhale slow and exhale slow.. if i can that is, the stealth realy pulls bong size hits now i'm used to it, with the aquavape it's less harsh. And after those big deep hits i stir, then take a couple smaller ones inhale > mouth exhale >nose with those i don't pull them in my lungs deep just keep em floating in my head a bit like circular breathing, used to do some digeridoo comes in handy now and then, when i do that my nose starts to tingle my face starts glowing and sweating around my eyes,its a super feeling. Whith realy good weed the sweat drops fall from my eyebrows. First time that happend i was like wtf is this i never been this high before, i thought it was a one time deal but no everytime with good haze or sativa.
i used to already do that circular thing with the Cano but that can never reach this level.

sounds like i'll need a bit of practice first before i'll be able to do the circular breathing thing you just described

but it sounds like fun so i'll give it a shot when my dbv arives next week

Lately, it has occurred to me that holding the hit in the lungs is a waste, since most of the vapor will be inside the bag, without touching the surface area of the lungs, where the drug transfer takes place. i think of the vapor inside a volcano/ion bag -- the inside surface of the bag gets sticky from condensed vapor -- and that is what you want to have happen inside your lungs.

So i think exhaling a little and then inhaling to stir the contents of the lungs will get more vapor against the surface and infused into the lungs. This may take 20 seconds or so.

A seven minute session uses about 12 to 14 hits.

The method you describe is good when vaping without moisture because too big of a hit will dry out your lungs and throat creating cough but if you have some moisture either from a water filter or a bud having good moisture in it already like a good cigar, holding in hits gives a good affect.

If you have good lungs doing a power hit and holding it in is strong and keeps the herb lasting long.

Doing these type of hits with vapor will get you blowed being that it's so concentrated unlike smoke!

Even when I was into smoking despite how I like to count numbers or add them up I never kept track of how long I'd hold my hits for. It's never been for more than a few seconds.

I loved getting high with joints, pipes, and bongs but I hated how the smoke would make me cough a lot and how it felt in my mouth, throat, and lungs.

Thankfully vaping is not nearly as bad as smoking can be in that regard and you don't wind up coughing a lot from vapor either.

I found that with a vaporizer the vapor gets absorbed a lot faster and easier and I don't even try to keep track of how long I hold hits for I use a magic flight box and I'll follow the directions of putting the battery in and then waiting until you see vapor, take out the battery, and then I inhale it like you would a pipe and not like you would hit a joint. I do not use the plastic tube that came with the vape.

I never got into what people call "ghosting" which is where you take a hit when you're smoking pot and hold it in until no smoke comes out when you exhale.

Roughly 3-5 seconds. Depends on how big of a hit it is.

Rather than holding it long, try rebreathing -- exhale the useless (never to be absorbed) vapor in your throat and upper respiratory system, a good portion of your lung capacity, and suck down some fresh air which will end up mixing with the leading stream of vapor you inhaled. And if efficiency of consumption is important, take shorter hits and then suck each down deeply by inhaling regular air.

Thats what I do. I take one long slow deep hit, and hold it for 20-30 seconds then I slowly exhale if I start to taste anything sweet or fruity I know I am exhaling vapor so I re-inhale (just air) in mid exhale if this happens. This ensures I dont waste any valuable vapor. If you see fairly thick vapor when you exhale then IMO you are exhaling to soon or sucking back way more vapor then your lungs can absorb at once. Dont forget that one of the aspects we are now vaping (besides for better health) is to maximize our herbs and not waste them.

The dude can hold monster hits with the best of 'em, but the smoke is yellow because of the bong glass, yellow walls, and lighting in their room. Even the water has a yellow hue. The smoke wouldn't stay that yellow the whole time anyway. As the bowl burns down it'll always go white. I don't know why they commented on it in the video when they should have known it was because of the glass and yellow light.

Lately I have been emptying my lungs and taking slow and long hits and holding the hit in as long as possible. I was skeptical it would matter (holding it in for 5 seconds versus 20) but it does! Also if you are patient enough Tokin's re-breathing method works well.

Usually I take a long hit, hold it for about 15 seconds, then rebreath very small amounts of air alternated with holding the breath for about 10 seconds (continue it for 1.40 mins, max 2 mins for big hits).
This method works well for me, but I don't understand if holding the breath for 10 or 100 seconds make a difference. It's a very uncertain argument, and many people are in contrast with their experiments.

Unfortunately I can't try this on myself, because I ever have small amounts of herb, and I can't risk to waste neither 0.01
