Breathing in through mouth, exhale via nose, inhale via mouth, etc. Basically a constant flow of vapor is being put into your lungs.stickstones said:What's cycle breathing?

I was wondering about this too. I've read that with smoke you absorb all the "good stuff" in 5-7 seconds of holding your breath and anything longer just absorbs toxins. I'd assume vapor is made up of only the "good stuff" so wouldn't it make sense to not exhale any vapor and thus just hold it in till it all condenses in your lungs?stickstones said:Sometimes I hit that thing and I know I am getting vapor, but if I hold it in long enough not much comes out...makes me happy thinking I am absorbing mos to fit!
Initially I didn't expect for there to be as much green left to the ABV and wondered if the temp was on the low side. However it seems to be delivering very potent hits of a cerebral quality so it must be "in the zone".stonemonkey55 said:ILR, my ABV from my PD is significantly darker than yours. Not complaining, but I like my vapor on the lighter side, although now that it is the winter, my PD is running a tad cooler.
A study done by the University of Leiden said that, unlike with smoke, you can lose 30-40% of the 'good stuff' when you exhale vapor. Since there's a distinct difference between the composition of smoke and vapor, it's makes sense that the body absorbs THC from vapor more slowly.ILoveRadiohead! said:I was wondering about this too.

Wand hash is just condensed vapor, so I would think that re-vaporizing it would give the same results as the initial vaping.stonemonkey55 said:the wand hash is super sticky and I wonder if holding it in until it condenses he vapor in the lungs into that sticky stuff...just food for thought.
Sorry, I needed to clarify. I meant when the vapor condenses (as opposed to vaping wand hash), ie in the wand or the hose, do you think it also condenses in your lungs when you hold it in there longer? My fear is that wand hash is collecting in my lungs when I hold in vapor too long. Unless it is something that is easily removed by our lungs versus something like tar (as AofZ pointed out)Wand hash is just condensed vapor, so I would think that re-vaporizing it would give the same results as the initial vaping.
Actually it's more like .02-.03g. I posted the measurement after repeatedly loading ten bowls (about 3 different types of herb) and weighing that amount on a top quality scale accurate to .01g. The average bowl came to .025g. I don't know where you got .01. You can certainly get a good hit from that, but it's less than half the normal bowl. As far as the number of hits, it depends on the size of the hit, the consistency of the load-how dry and how finely ground. Obviously dryness and particle size can make for a huge variance in the number of hits. I nearly always get 3-4 good hits, but for somone else that could be only 2. For a light hitter it could be 5-7the claim that you can smoke bowls of 2-4+ hits out of .01-.02 grams.
I own a whip vape (SSV) as well as a PD. It's true that the SSV is efficient in its own right, but compared to the PD it loses in that department. I'd wager that most other members who own a PD and whip vape would agree.Beelzleb said:The PD is efficient but so are the vaporizers I mentioned.
Going solely by pictures is pretty sketchy-- lighting etc. Personally I like fresh vapor and reload often (maybe it was my pic you saw ), but with the right technique the PD can milk just about everything out, leaving the herb very dark brown. Definitely won't get as hot as a vape that is capable of combustion, but it's certainly not wasteful in that regard.While the PD is known for efficiency much of the abv that is shown is not really what I would call spent but this is possibly because the people who took the pics are deliberately not vaping the material to its capacity.
They're not magnets like glass but believe it or not I've made some quick wash with PD tubes.since wand hash is not really a consideration with the PD compared to most whip vapes
Can't blame ya there, it's hard to believe (~0.025g). It ain't smoke though.I'm a little apprehensive of the claim that you can smoke bowls of 2-4+ hits out of .01-.02 grams.
Buzzin' after 1.how many of these bowls does it take you to get high usually?
Here's a pro. Under 5 seconds on average for me.how long does it take to pack one of these bowls
Just added them before I posted that. It's a constantly changing article. Is ~190C about right (on the wiki)? I just guesstimated from the vapor zone graphic on your site.didn't notice the vids were at the bottom of the Wiki
