School me on vaping

I’m a bit confused these days. Before e-cigs became popular vaping was a term for strictly smoking weed. Now it appears vaping is related to e-cig only.

There are now articles coming out on the health complications from “vaping”. I don’t smoke e-cigs or cigs at all but I do vape weed. Are these articles only speaking to e-cigs? What about weed? The lines are blurred and I’d like a straight answer.

I moved away from flower because my lungs can’t handle it. Vaping is easier and in moderation. Am I at risk for all the same stuff that e-cigs are getting a bad wrap for?

I’d like to know your habits and experience.

To me, vaping is anything with a cartridge because it describes the process and not the medium. As long as the stuff e-cigs are getting a bad rap for isn't strictly about the chemicals inside, then you're at the same risk.

Also, vaping weed isn't as good. The high feels 'incomplete'. Just do less, take smaller hits, or whatever, but if you can't smoke flower because your lungs can't take it, it makes me think you're doing too much.

It's early but there are just too many unknowns.
Speaking purely on the nicotine side, this topic hits a chord with me as it straddles the line between promoting addiction in young people while providing a resource in harm reduction for people trying to stop smoking.
Once you put *kids* in the equation the emotion surrounding the conversation ramps up immediately. *The Kids* become the third rail in all of these types of discussions.
There's no easy answer. No free lunch.

Vaping stereotype is you wear a flat bill hat, drive a WRX with an obnoxious fart can exhaust, and blow huge vapor clouds wherever you go.

I'm not sure if the weed cartridges have the same stuff as the nicotine ones do or if it's just pure cannabis oils.

I've heard edibles and tinctures solve this problem.

Vaporizing weed, when not in cart form, is amazing.

If you can afford to spend on your future health, buy a Volcano. Your lungs and pocket will thank you.

Its expensive, but the overall savings will be great.

Vaping=questionable
Vaporizing=best way

The carts use cannabis oil along with mixing agents, more often than not.

Edibles are great

Whatever that means
Used to smoke cigarettes, transitioned to vaping and then quit vaping and now I'm just an alcoholic.

If anyone smokes and would like to vape instead I've got a mod (vaping device) I can give for free.

Weed oil purity varies by manufacturer. Some cartridges make me cough and feel wheezy, others have no noticeable effect on my lungs.
Do research as to who is in it for the money (cheap additives and processing), find a good brand that you're happy with and stick with it.

Yep, the ones that use distillate make me feel like my chest is caving in. I watch out nowadays.

Most recent find that doesn't make me feel like I'm dying, Raw Gardens. Their new carts are 100% cannabis oil. :drool So tasty

I’ve been using Stiiivy with good results. One puff and I’m gtg more so then an entire bowl of flower. Just curious if I’m smoking bad shit with the oil or not.

From what I read this vape stuff is only focused on products with nicotine in them and are toxic.
