I want to buy a vaporizor but every vaporizer I have tried has been weak, can someone recommend me

[lwien]

I've always heard it's an expectorant, but in looking for data I only see it referenced anecdotally. The closest I saw was in Jack Herer's Emperor Wears no Clothes:

http://www.jackherer.com/emperor-3/chapter-7/

The study he references is this, but I couldn't find it on google:
(Tashkin, Dr. Donald, UCLA Pulmonary Studies (for smoked marijuana), 1969-2007; Ibid., asthma studies, 1969-1976; Cohen, Sidney, & Stillman, Therapeutic Potential of Marijuana, 1976; Life Insurance Actuarial rates; Life shortening effects of childhood asthma, 1983.)

Fuck schedule one classification. More studies really need to be done.

I ended up getting the mighty

I was going to get the crafty but for a couple dollars more would get a better device.

I wanted the worlds best portable vape, and i think i made the right choice. For the next 2 years i dont have to worry about it breaking forever

I'm saving alot of weed. I wanted one with no resistance and its great.

I put a tiny bit off weed, similar to my water gravity bong and just as high

No more smoking paper chemicals

So i think i made the right choice

400 is alot but I'm saving in weed since i don't need to use as much

Glad the Mighty is doing you well. Def better to have the two batteries and digital display in my oppinion. The Crafty just doesn't appeal to me as I like changing temps a lot and one battery is not enough. And size wise the mighty fits in my hand and all my pockets so I don't know what all the fuss is about when people say it's not a true portable. It is a fucking portable!

What you will find over time when you try other vapes is that they all offer different things. It's kind of like how all your friends roll different joints. Some of my mates roll skinny one skins. Some roll fat baseball bats. Some roll loosely gooseys. So the taste and experience each vape offers is different. And then there's the scenarios for vapes. I wouldn't want to smoke my friends baseball bat joint on a busy high street. Instead I would opt for the skinny one skin. Vapes are kind of the same in this respect.

I realize that many believe this to be true but I've never seen any scientific studies that makes this claim. If you can post up any studies that show that THC is in fact, an expectorant, I'd really like to see it.

The ONLY time THC makes me cough is if I take a hit that is too large for my lungs to handle. The way I see it, the only way that THC can be viewed as an expectorant is it's effect on the body's involuntary response to a foreign substance if you ingest too much of that foreign substance all at once.

I was under the impression that it was the hot vapour that tickles and irritates the throat. The mighty does this to me a lot so whenever I use it I get a tall icey drink, which really helps.

 

[pressure]

It is because THC is an expectorant, and as such, it will make you cough

this mighty made us cough today

like eyes tearing, crying. jumping out the car coughing....

not to many people ever get to try something this expesnive.

I showed it to my friend, and hes sold on it...getting it next paycheck..

im getting hits like gravity water bong hits....coughing like crazy. I just put the mighty to 210 c and hit until its gone.... I use it for less then 5 minutes at a time, vape up a bowl and im mad high

When I was in High School, the word "weak" meant "cool", or as an exclamation of extreme agreement. "Weak!!!!!" was like saying, "Are you fucking kidding me? Great!" Every vape has been weak, means every vape has been great.

King of the Non-Sequiturs

 

[lwien]

When I was in High School, the word "weak" meant "cool"...

When I was in high school, cool meant cool and so did bitchin'.

 

[macbill]

Bitchin' was big. I remember working on a cattle ranch one summer in WA State as a young teen, and the ranch foreman expressed exasperation that youth had appropriated his slang word for a complaining woman to be something wonderful.

 

[woolspinner]

When I was in high school, cool meant cool and so did bitchin'.

When you were in school weren't they still saying "he's a hep cat, Daddy-o!"?

 

[lwien]

Naw. Never said that crap. Only heard on Happy Days.

 

[Poostuff]

Me and my Solo doing bucket Bong Hits a few months ago,,,,, Talk about clearing like 1/2 a Solo bowl it 1 gravity hit... lol oh my

Is that Metamucil for one hitters in the toilet bowl?

 

[Stu]

When I was in high school, cool meant cool and so did bitchin'.

I don't believe you, lwien. I don't remember seeing "cool" nor "bitchin'" anywhere in the Bible.

Are you saying that you like that it made you cough? Are you associating coughing with having a powerful vape?

The only stuff I've seen for THC as an expectorant have been in passing mention in studies which studied marijuana, but not specifically its use as an expectorant.

However, there are heaps of information that cite THC as a bronchial dilator.

http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM197305102881902

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.2042-7158.1997.tb00491.x/abstract

http://www.atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1164/arrd.1977.115.1.57#.Vpi2iRUrKhc

Unfortunately, getting your hands on a full article hits the pocketbook, so some of these only offer the abstracts.

You hit the nail on the head though, there needs to be more studies.

Although its only anectdotal, I have found that cannabis use has helped to reduced how often I have to use my inhalers for my asthma. However, that only applies as long as I start on lower temperatures. If I start of at 365 or 375, and temp step, then I tend to do better. If I start my sessions at the upper ends of the spectrum I find that my airway feels tight, at least temporarily, which prompts my use of an inhaler.

However, I am just one man.

Seems like this belongs in a different thread but I read an article recently that mentioned marijuana helping asthma. I'll try to find it. But is a bronchodilator an expectorant?

ah ... expectorant denier, eh?

it is quite common for peeps who switch from smoking to vaporizing to have 4 to 6 weeks of expectorating ... but, how many anecdotes does it take to be a "real" fact? who are these scientists who sanctify what we already know?

 

[lwien]

who are these scientists who sanctify what we already know?

Or debunk what we think we know.

Bronchodilator, for sure.

 

[Hippie Dickie]

okay, so you didn't expectorate when you switched from smoking to vaping?

 

[lwien]

okay, so you didn't expectorate when you switched from smoking to vaping?

Nope.........didin't do that nasty shit.

I wonder if being a runner had anything to do with that.

 

[Hippie Dickie]

I wonder if being a runner had anything to do with that.

well, it didn't for me .... been a runner for 33 years and a smoker for 18 of that before switching to vaping, which definitely cleared out my lungs ... guess i'm just unique (and my girl friend and several peeps i commented to about this over the last 15 years). ... anecdotes is anecdotes is personal ... i like my interpretation (i want to believe) ...

guess this is too off topic to continue here.

 

[mikeben]

My nose clears up however I vape, whichever I use, whatever material I use. The low temps on it clean me out and I can eat better just because of that. Learning to blow vapor out my nose saves buckets on cold pills.

 

[verdampersweats]

sublimator for sure op

 

[momofthegoons]

Since the OP has not commented since mid January and this thread has gone totally off topic, it's time for it's demise. Off to ABV....
