why does vapor make me cough?
I have a box vaporizer, the VaporTower. I'm not sure if what I'm inhaling is actually vapor, or a mix of vapor and smoke, or just smoke. I know I get a lot of air along with the smoke/vapor. The hits seem to reach pretty deep in the lungs because I cough a lot, even more than I do from smoking. The spent weed isn't charred, it's just brownish green, so I guess I'm not burning it... and my throat is never sore after vaping, as it is after smoking. But it does seem to really choke me up. It makes sense that it wouldn't irritate the throat as much because when using a vaporizer it seems like the vapor/smoke is dilluted by all the air you suck in through the tube. I guess I'm just not convinced that this box and tube vaporizer is actually vaporizing the weed and not just burning it really slowly. Ever since I started vaping I've had dark circles and been noticing new fine lines under my eyes. I just have this feeling that this vaporizer is actually doing me more harm that smoking blunts, maybe I'm just being paranoid. Is it realistic to be getting pure vapor out of a $200 box vaporizer?

You're coughing because THC is an irritant to mucus membranes. That's not smoke you're inhaling, so don't worry; if it were, you'd be having the same problems as you did when you smoked joints or blunts.
Those vapors may make you cough a bit, but they are far from smoke, which is essentially poison with THC mixed in.
Peace.

Yeah if you were getting smoke your remains would be black and you'd be able to tell from the change in your hits. In fact, if there's green in your remains, you may not be fully vaporizing your bowl.
As for wrinkling, smoking can make that worse, but it depends on your age. It's not to produce wrinkles in someone in their 20's, for example.

I have a Volcano and i will cough my lungs out somtimes after doing say more then 2 or 3 bags in a day, I find if I turn the heat down from 7 to maybe 5.5 it makes it better.

why does vapor make me cough?
ive had a Vapir 1 for 3 weeks now and have had that occasional coughing problem too. When i searched it, i ended up here. From day 1 to just a few minutes ago. All i can recommend is smaller hits. Depending on the quality, the potent stuff really requires easy toking. The cough isn't harsh, but takes some time to resolve, so it cant be too healthy. Just take it easy!

why does vapor make me cough?
your vaporizer is set too hot - try 325 F, check with a digital infrared thermometer, (you'll likely not see 2 vapes the same temp) ... :smokin:

why does vapor make me cough?
I cough from time to time with my herbalaire, my sister ALWAYS coughs on my herbalaire.
EDIT: Not only is the vapor itself somewhat of an irritant, the dry air irritates some people more than others.

why does vapor make me cough?
lower temp vapors = smoother vape hits.......higher temp vapes will harsh you
I have found that drinking some ice water....before and after the vape hit... helps alot...its the hot air/vapor hitting the back of your throat that makes you cough with vapor
