In addition to the good feedback above (THC) being a very effective expectorant, I am too someone with very sensitive lungs. Where it stem's from I don't know considering I swam competitively up to USS/D1 level for 20 years, and didn't start noticing this until a few years after retirement. I felt it was a combination of the damage I did with combustion, and then in 2010 I got swine flu and pneumonia and ever since that my lung sensitivity has gone way up.

One thing that I have noticed that aids my ability to get less irritation is: all glass vapor path, water diffusion, and I always suck on, or after menthol infused lozenge's like halls. I prefer the basic menthol flavor but as long as it has menthol and produces menthol vapor my irritation is greatly reduced. In addition, tell your doctor you randomly get wheezy breathing, and they will prescribe you a albuterol inhaler. I've had long discussions with many doctors and there general opinion is that albuterol is a safe and benign (in terms of side effects) medicine that does a good job at soothing and opening up bronchial passages. Vapor does cause inflammation and I've always found that after a long session of vaping 1 puff and proper yogic inhalation of albuterol completely soothes the irritation.

Finally one thing that is not advised is to use a albuterol inhaler more then 2 puffs every 4 hours, as any more then that can place some stress on your heart as albuterol does raise blood pressure and heart rate temporarily.

A consultation with a doctor is also not a bad idea depending on how comfortable you are discussing your habits.


[Edit] -- I just wanted to add, that prior to my health incident in June (from which I've had to let my body heal before I can start running/biking again) I noticed that when I did regular cardiovascular exercise I coughed less and my felt little irritation when vaporizing.


It's well known that exercise strengthens the lungs and makes them work more efficiently and I encourage anyone to do the same, even walking 2 miles a day is going to have an impact.

Turn it up to 3 o'clock and see how thick it gets. That should help.

How long do you let it heat up? I run mine at 12 also, it goes green after about 10min but then I let it sit another 10min or so (total about 20min) during which time I grind the material and let it air/dry out just a bit (seems like that helps produce the thick vapor)

Do you need to connect a hydra tube (like you have done) to the devastator or can it be used without one?

Nice. That makes it much more tempting.

The more I learn about vaping though, the more it seems there is just a ton of nice glass around in general :/ It makes decision making too hard.

That's one of the things that I like more of the VXH, his sinergy with glass. Best of both worlds, vapingXglass

I finally got around to looking at some of the footage from the Kush Expo. Here is a quick video edit I did of the Devastator:

Nice video! Looks like some intense vapor action!! Also, looks like there isn't quite enough water in the bottom chamber of the Swagger Double. The top showerhead is percing fine, but the tree, is only slightly submersed in water; it looks like the vape is just seeping through the slits that are above the water. It's especially noticeable from ~29 seconds on

Haha I remember that night, this was at the VXC beach house. Slim was getting warmed up for the event. Good eye Purple_Haze, we shot this several times and the final shot Robert used at the end was one of the latter ones, you can see me in the background realizing we forgot to put water in the bottom chamber and in my head, i'm like man Robert is going to die of overvaping. ;)

I saw you. Yeah, that definitely looked to be quite the devastating hit! I bet after all the filming, he was a little more than slightly medicated! You can see it in his face :smug: :lol:

Yea we forgot to fill that bottom chamber. I guess I was just too excited to use it. I had been traveling all day and my back was on fire. I was looking forward to relieving some of that pain. It did the trick really well. I also had not medicated in like 6 hours... which for me is practically a t-break.

Good name. :)

I sometimes forget not everyone hits a water pipe as hard as I do. I was helping someone medicate and I milked up a water pipe for them... I was not thinking it was the kind of hit I would do. Needless to say I felt like a jerk as they coughed for 10 minutes. :( I apologized profusely.

I am not sure that is possible. Actually in the audio of the video you even made a comment along those lines.

I wonder if a mini vacuum type device would work for those that don't have that kind of lung power - something that would get the water pipe nice and milky then you can take it from there...

:myday:
Hardly cough anymore and I take really big hits! The first secret is to sip the bong, not suck it. I prepare by inhaling through my mouth and exhaling through my nose. This leave a small amount of oxygen in my lungs prior to taking each hit. I sip water between hits hydrating my mouth and throat. Vaping can parch the throat but sipping water and using bongs addresses it.

Troi is right, THC is one of nature's best bronchodilators and expectorants. Because of this I do cough more during the first bowl of the day.
