holding in vapor

[peterchen]

Hey,
I was wondering whether you feel it makes any difference to hold in vapor for a long time, i.e., more than 10 seconds, or just handle it like smoke.
I usually hold it in for nearly as long as I can handle (with mflb mostly) but that keeps making me dizzy at times.
So, what is your experience? Thanks!

I habitually hold all tokes for 10 to 20 sec. If I get greedy and take a
huge pull, then I often have to exhale prematurely. Wasted vapor, but
I get wasted too
My friend, the volcano owner, never holds his tokes,
its just his style.

Experiment fellow vaporists and enjoy !

little tokes and a lot of cold air afterwards typically works for me

Vapor absorbs slower, so it makes sense that you can get more from holding it in longer. Its usually recommended to just hold for at least 10 seconds and from there its your preference to risk some degree of oxygen deprivation.

I wouldnt hold it longer then 20 but I have a habit of not paying enough attention to how long im holding it in and probably hold for longer.

It can be damaging if you always feel dizzy from holding hits in for too long.

I take a hit with some air at the end and exhale in bursts, about every 3 sec or so a partly exhale and inhale againaccording to what I've read that should be efficient, and it's not uncomfortable like holding it in as long as you can

i do a very slow inhale and a very slow exhale -- total time of 20 to 30 seconds -- so the vapor is constantly moving in the lungs.
