got a vape but need help ...please?

Don't know about the spit, but sometimes the hot air from the vape makes me cough.

 

Try turning down the temperature significantly lower and give it 5-10 minutes to warm up.

 

Which vape did you get?

Blackish is not good. You want that duff to be light to medium brown and no more dark than the color of tobacco.

Coughing is not normal when vaping, but unlike smoke, vapor doesn't give you too much of a warning when you've exceeded your lung capacity for THC, but when you do, it won't waste any time in letting you know.

 

the color of vaped weed should be similar to tobacco(lightish brown)

you want the tempeture to be below the combustion tempeture of weed

 

This is exactly why ive never purchased a vape." Is it working?? i think so... no its definetly not working"

 

Yeah, there's a bit more to workin' a vape but imho, the positives FAR outweigh the negatives.

MUCH healthier.

More efficient at extracting THC, thereby using a BUNCH less bud to get high than you do with any kind of smoking, so that vape pays for itself in no time.

Much tastier. No smoke and ash to cover up those flavors.

And I like the high better, which is totally subjective. The high on a vape is more of a clear head high without the couch lock that you get from taking in toxins like carbon monoxide and such.

But hey, there's people paying 10 bucks a pack for cigarettes in New York City, so there will always be those that just like to smoke............no matter what the cost.

 

Agreed. It takes a week or two to find the right setting on your vape and to get used to it, but once you do you will love vaping.

 

Most important thing about vaporizers HOLD THE HIT IN TELL ITS GONE! its not like smoke, it does not go stale in your lungs in a few seconds, its also not bad like smoke so the whole point is to absorb it into your lungs. You dont need to blow any thing out, its just wasting vapor. Holding your breath increases the pressure in your lungs which increases the rate of the thc particles being absorbed into your lungs. I find that a lot of people who dont think vaporizers are really more efficient are just blowing out vapor because they are so used to doing it with smoke.

The coughing problem might be because your inhaling really hot dry air. Depending on what type of vape your using it could be a simple fix like getting a longer tube. Also, if you have a bong hook your vape up and take some hits throught that. See if it helps the coughing at all.

And about the temperature thing, start with it as low as it will go, let it heat for a while then try taking two or three drags. If nothing comes out turn it up a tiny bit, wait for it to heat up and try again. Find the lowest possible temperature you get any vapor at. Then mark or write it down so you dont get high and forget. Then you can just start at that temperature. Then take a few hits until you dont get any more, turn it up 5-7 degrees and get another hit or two and continue the process until it wont hit any more. The last few hits taste like shit, but I think you get different things vaporizing at different temperatures.

The black spit thing is fucking wierd. You might be a dinosaur, do you look like this?

Turn that temp way down first. Also when you vaporize the air you suck in is very dry from the heat. If you can, attach it to a waterpipe. Or just take smaller draws and have some cold water on hand.
If you are a heavy SMOKER(vape is so different), and you recently took a break, your lungs are trying to naturally heal itself, by getting rid if tar/redin that's built up in your throat and lungs. If you don't stop spitting resin with a month then go to a doctor

 

Uh...........I can hold a vapor hit for 30 seconds and still blow out vapor clouds.

While hot air is a contributing factor, the fact is, is that THC is a lung irritant. Take in too much THC and guess what? You cough, even if that vapor was ice cold.

 

5-10 warm up time. 365f is what mine is always at don't know what that is in celsius. 365, 365 a year

As for the coughing I always kinda choke up not so much cough though. I get like a nice almost menthol like cool feeling in my lungs. ahhhhh

 

Wow that's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. I have 2 vapes and yea maybe on the first time I used it had some trouble with it but if you have half a brain it shouldn't be too hard. I've never had my vape on and not been able to tell if its working or not. That's also why you don't buy a cheapo vape, you get what you pay for.

 

This

 

Take smaller hits and hold it in longer. Problem solved.

 

I'll try that, but I bet I'll still blow out some vapor clouds.

 

practice, you can do it.

 

I can dooooooo eeeeeet !!! lol.

I'll give it a shot later......

 

Ive found that even having my vape slightly too high will cause it to burn my bud. turning it slightly black is too much heat, a color change to brownish-gold means time to pack a new bowl.

p.s. if you really burn the weed, the stench is reasonably strong. I've heard people say it smells like burning popcorn, but i don't smell it...
