Realtalk on vaping cannabis vape refill thingies

cheese_greater@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 50 points –

So I need some realtalk by Lemmie's resident stoners and possibly medical professionals on the benefits and risks/harms of vaping cannabis refill things on the respiratory system (using a rechargeable vape pen/battery thingy at the lowest heat setting).

Give it to me straight docs, whats up and how long do I have to live if I use it infrequently but potentially daily in small amounts?

I have been using cartridges lately for my once per night before bed sess. It's extremely convenient and affordable.

Here's the thing. When I use dry herb vaping, I tend to have the same amount every night and it's fine. I don't want to get baked, I just want to sleep.

When I have a cartridge, I end up taking more drags from it. This leads to consuming now which increases your tolerance. It's just so easy to have a little more. When I use dry herb reloading the vape is just enough effort that I think "I'm good" and wander off to bed. Plus you have ABV to make edibles.

Edit - no noticeable effect on breathing or whatever that differs from dry herb vaping.

Love ur username! Ya, I'm moderating quite well actually. I def can't big boy smoke shit and I can't even really tolerate a water bong etc. vapint is the only thing that "works" but I wanna make sure Im not fucking up my lungs and predisposing myself to any COPD bullshit

Edit1: say hi to yamotherskeys for me

Hi, addict here. I've smoked dry flower with a vaporizer daily for years and quit entirely about three months ago. In the past i almost exclusively smoked using a bong daily. Quitting was much easier coming from the vaporizer, i coughed up almost no gunk, just some phlegm. When i attempted quitting coming from the bong, the withdrawal was intense plus i coughed up Satan's entire asshole. If you're going to smoke, a vaporizer with a dry product is going to be the 'healthier' option for sure.
