Okay, I assume everyone has experienced vaporizer pain. The vapor is hot and dry and irritates the respiratory tract. In fact, I believe using my vaporizer has given me several sinus infections in the past two years.

Is there anyway people know of to cool and/or add moisture to the vapor besides inhaling the vapor through a water pipe?

There was a product on the market for a little while called the "vaporicer," which is no longer available.

Also, I purchased a humidifier that I planned to attach a hose to, so that I could inhale humid air simultaneously with the vapor, but the device smelled badly of chemicals because of the plastic it was constructed from. So, I was forced to ditch that idea.

I'm running out of ideas, and fear I may have to abandon cannabis use in the form of smoke or vapor because of the ill effects it has on my repiratory health.

Perhaps drunknb can provide some incite, too. How can I make the vapor healthy for me?

Please don't tell me to lower the temperature on my vaporizer or drink water when vaporizing. These suggestions don't help.

Thanks.
Regardless; if you subject your lungs to a foreign body, it can affect them. As far mas making the vape "healthy", you really can't. ...it's just "healthier" than smoking. You can run your vapor through ice and/or ice water to further cool/clean the vapor too.

Edibles, oils or tinctures is probably the way you'll want to go if you have such an adverse reaction to smoking and/or vap'ing.

Feathers: yeah, it's possible. The Iolite is a closed system when in use, anything could be hiding in there. You could use a Cidex based cleaner (medical grade, medical equipment cleaner) throughout it, just make sure you rinse it thoroughly and let it dry completely prior to use again. That would take care of any critters in there. This system doesn't really have a way to cool the smoke through a water or ice reservoir...unless you hook a tube to the mouthpiece, etc.

...and yeah, there are WAAAY many doc's out there that agree with the uses of canibus - find a new doctor that understands your concerns and will be willing to work with you to remedy your situation.

Vaporizers- negative respiratory effects This past spring, after getting bronchitis twice in 6 months, I was proud to post here that I had quit smoking and had purchased a vapor-bros vaporizer! Although I felt much better since (less coughing etc) I still managed to develop bronchitis this past October. I fought it for a few weeks and got well. Now the end of November, I have bronchitis again... I kinda want to know if anyone has ever heard of negative effects from a vape (hopefully birdgirl is around, she knows much about Rating: 5
