Vaping since 2012, daily save for one TBreak in 2015.
Your question seemed to seek negatives, so the only one I can think of is after a night of OverVaping (way more than I'd normally vape in an evening), the next morning I need to clear my throat with a cough. But it's a single cough, whereas when I used to combust a night of OverSmoking could result in coughing through the first part of the day.
Otherwise, everything else is a positive.... taste, smell, $ savings (VAS excluded!), ease of maintenance, breathing, etc...
Gotcha.Yeah it's just to gauge the long-term affects from dry herb vaping. I know everyone is different and will respond different because of different vapes but it would be interesting to hear from long term users.
Thanks for the feedback.
Been vaping daily for at least 10 years and combusted daily for years before that. Now I breathe better and no longer have that "smoker's hack." All positives, no negatives!
I have noticed that if I vape more frequently than I normally do, my lungs and chest muscles get tired and sore.
But this is quite possibly due to my medical condition, whereby my muscles fatigue super easily.
How about you @kalel, any negative effects for you?
Different people react to cannabis differently. Sativa strains have been known to cause anxiety in some peopleNo long term though i have had a few instances where i vaped ( dry herb ) and i got super anxious, heart and left side of arm felt like it was numb and i was having a heart attack but it went away after about 1 hour. Someone said I had too much THC. Who knows.
Yeah its so odd. Like I've had good experience with some strains and then I dont know if i inhaled too much or the THC was too high ( i think it was a combination of both ) but the first 1 hour was a lot of couch lock then suddenly i felt it all up in my heart area and arm. I thought i was going to die. I just kept telling myself this will pass but it didn't help. I wouldn't have minded had it been all over but it was tightness in my chest and tingling in my left arm that got me worried. I nearly went to emerg but held off. It had never happened before or after that one time so i notched it up to the weed ( i never mixed it with anything either as im a pretty clean living person, no alcohol or other substances ). I came across others on youtube who encountered the same thing. Many gave up the herb.Different people react to cannabis differently. Sativa strains have been known to cause anxiety in some people.

you could have had a blood clot pass or something... if it happens again keep whole peppercorn on hand and chew on a few of them... also, lemon water or lemonade helps to slow down THC' actionYeah its so odd.

I now stay below 12% THC and make sure herb has a higher amount of CBD.
There really should be a way to come down quickly off this ( like eat something or such ) to stop it if you run into a bad situation like that. Do you know of anything like that?

I wonder if a CBD oil would do the same.Have not tried it myself as I don't have access, but some folk will vape a high CBD strain if the get too high on THC.
Vaping daily for two years, excepting a short T-break I just ended. My health has improved substantially since I started vaping. I've got severe asthma, or rather had severe asthma, for years. Now that I've been vaping, my lung function tests have improved. I no longer use a nebulizer or inhaler daily. I've been able to stop, or cut back on, my asthma medications. For years I suffered from frequent, debilitating migraines. Now I rarely get a headache, and when I do, two Tylenol and vaping a bowl sends it on it's way. Cannabis has helped dramatically with symptoms of PTSD, and I don't know that I would have survived without it, or wanted to.
I did have a T-break until a few minutes ago. I was trying to avoid the munchies, but at lunch today, my son told me he was concerned about my using an inhaler again, and he's concerned about my nightmares waking me up. He made the point that sleep is important post-surgically, and suggested I start vaping again.
I can't think of any negatives, other than the munchies. My life is much, much better with cannabis.
I vape sativa, indica and hybrid. It's organic sun grown, but as I have no need to test it, there are no numbers available. I trust healthy plants, good sun and good soil for good plants, so I don't think about numbers much. This isn't helpful to you, and I am sorry I can't be more helpful. My asthma was severe for years, and now it's controlled. I did recently go on a T-break, but my son suggested I start vaping again as I was needing my rescue inhaler again, and my Service Dog was alerting me to problems with my breathing. I'm better off vaping, but am only speaking for myself.As every strain of weed is different. Can you tell us what kind of herb you are vaping? (i.e THC percentage, CBD percentage, sativa vs indica?) Im curious to know.
