no wasn't really familiar with vaping oils. Just with smoking. I just vaped oils mixed with hash or weed.
and sorry, no that's not an overstatement.
The oils smell to bad to be recovered and re-used.
And when in the morning your throat is so irritated that you feel sick, so sick that you cannot go work = it's a loss of health. The first days I thought I was really sick, but no, my throat was just irritated from to much vaping.
so you aren't used to the medium, but are sure you can't reclaim it. that sounds pretty arrogant. i am used to the medium and am sure you can. you may not want to smoke it, but coconut oil and a batch your favorite baked goods means all is not lost. you say you were just familiar w/ smoking herb, do you remember your first toke of weed? do remember how fuckin harsh that was? if you smoked all day ignoring that and had a sore throat the next day you didn't quit or you wouldn't be here.
we get that you had problems with getting it to hot, also that you have hyper-sensitivity to the point that a sore throat means you can't work (or you talk all day for a living). either/or isn't that once again a learning curve that would've happened anyway if you tried any other method?
In my opinion the customer must be clearly informed about the risks.
When you buy a car you have to know the risks, but when you buy a medical device that is supposed to be healthy, you have to be informed about ALL the potential risks
as both of these points have been addressed AGAIN w/out rebuttal i feel we are going around in circles here. however, i'd like to add that bongs were originally sold as a healthier and more medical alternative, but they didn't have instructions and if you hit it wrong, would massively fuck your throat up. on top of that water filters out more thc than tar so it actually does little from a "health" aspect than cool your throat. also you can water filter (i know, obvious) your vapor to keep a cooler throat.
one thing about oil and thc in general, it's acrid. everytime a friend takes a big oil hit and starts coughing i tell them to ignore their throat and realize their lungs are fine, just breathe, oh and here is some throat spray. once they do, they stop coughing. so how much of this is the cart and how much of this is you ignoring/misinterpreting directions (for the experienced user), as well as a host of other factors that don't seem to fit into your world view. if you ignored/misinterpreted the first line of the cart, it stands to reason that you must also take a much larger share of the blame for its misuse. there's half a dollar for ya
