That was a pretty cool test.

This is the method I use which I got in part from reading about lung exercises.

The technique:

1.) Expell all air from lungs.
2.) Take very deep breath of air, filling from the abdomen up.
3.) Expell all air from lungs.
4.) Fill lungs to 2/3 their capacity from vaporizer, filling from the abdomen up, drawing from fast to slow
5.) Fill rest of lung with air and if applicable remove vaporizer from heat source, continuing to draw off of the vaporizer (in order to cool vaporizer, stopping vaporization when not in use).
6.) Hold breath a moment.
7.) Inhale one last bit of air.
8.) Hold breath a while (as long as comfortable/possible).
9.) Exhale slowly and controlled through the nose.

Works well for me and everyone I know!

Absolutely, puffin "vapor" type stuff i always try to absorb a lot more. Although people argue as to the quality of it, the reclaim'd resin from these vaporizers is clean, and vaporizes without a trace. That alone is enough to show that the vapor you're blowing out really is wasted....it was still pure enough to vape up cleanly.

Even smoking hash, its worth holding for an increased amount of time. As far as smoking plant matter hits though.......at most, you're smoking we'll say 20% THC by weight.......why bother tryin to absorb that shit into your lungs?

so why is hash more illegal! why do we have to die faster?

Here's something of interest:

Back in 2002, researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Hospital studied humming and its effect on the sinuses. Humming occurs only during exhalation and they found that humming increased the gas exchange rate between the nasal passages and the sinuses to 98% from 4% when not humming.

They also found that nitric oxide levels were increased by 15%. Nitric oxide improves circulation by dilating the capillaries. This is a good thing. Nitric oxide relaxes your blood vessels, lowers your blood pressure, and is the molecule that makes Viagra work.

Does it work with cannabis vapor? Humm along and see for yourself.

Henn, you really didn't need to bump this thread to post that off topic sentence.

On exhale, if i see visible vapor, i will re-inhale it hold and exhale. If I still see vapor on my second exhale I will re-inhale hold and exhale. I repeat until I stop seeing vapor. So basically I try not to exhale any vapor at all, I find I get a lot higher this way and use less material.

sounds like oxygen deprivation

When I take my second breath while re-inhaling I get fresh oxygen.

oh yeah.....well i do that shit sometimes to when i wanna get a quick head rush....it deprives your body of the STANDARD amount of oxygen it usually gets producing the added "high"

its cool .......

That was great. 86 hits vs what... 24, was it? That explains why my 8ths last over a month when I vape exclusively... Not to mention that napkin was terribly gnarly after a half gram.
