Hello Folk
How often do you vape?
How much do you vape per session - i.e. 0.35 grams?
Do you think your vaping is healthy or do you feel vaping is giving you side effects such as dry throat, mucus production, etc?

Vape often as much as I can. Worst side effect is it makes me stoned!
Just kidding.
Think you'll find the whole gamut around here, right up to those who only vape once a month.
For me in a typical week I vape about 4 or 5 days a week. Work, or other busy days, are the ones I don't vape - and if I do, usually just a quick session after dinner. Sometimes one later depending on what else I'm doing (TV watching often calls for another sesh), or to help sleep if it's bedtime and I'm not tired.
Weekends or days off it varies from pretty much all day (allowing a few hours to enjoy the buzz and get somewhat back to 0 so I can get another buzz later), to same as weekdays. Really depends on rest of my schedule but would estimate about 1/2 day and both evenings (maybe earlier and through the night) on most weekends. Vacation or something? Forget about it! If I can be and depending on what I'm doing, I may be constantly stoned other than my couple hour T breaks.
Per session kind of goes the same. Weeknights? Probably around .35 for two sessions over a few hours, less than half that for just one after dinner. If kayaking or hiking or something, may have .35 (between 2 people) every hour or two, or once at the destination, after lunch or whatever. Much depends on who I'm with and what the paddling or terrain is like.
Healthy? That's a tough one without context. Healthier than smoking? Think so and definitely feels like it. Healthier than not vaping or smoking? I think you get the benefits of medicinal properties physically whether you "need" it medically or are just using recreationally. Mentally and emotionally? For me, much healthier than not imbibing. Let's me keep my head level and let go of anxiety (not often at the moment I have it, but later when I tend to dwell on something stupid I said or did earlier that day or whatever).
Side effects are dependent on whether I overdo it, and usually how healthy I'm being at same time. Mine are pretty minor. Dry throat? Not so much. Dry mouth? Yeah, sometimes, but nothing a few glasses of water doesn't correct. Mucus production? Not really tho a good hit will sometimes make me sneeze a couple times, then it will go away (attribute this to triggering something in my nose or throat).
I'd have to say the worst side effects can be the next morning. Sometimes from overdoing it the night before (damn dabs!
). On occasion I'll wake all the way up in the middle of the night. I know getting back to sleep will be tough, so do a quick high temp/heavy sesh to chill enough to sleep. If this is less than 3 or 4 hours before the alarm goes off, I'll usually get up a bit groggy. But, no where near as bad as if I didn't have that sesh and was awake in the middle of the night for a couple hours.
Are you writing a report or just seeing how others do with vaping?
