Purple Days = Metal Lungs?

[Hennessy1414]

the vapor stem is 1/2" OD (tubing size!!)

3/8" ID works for smaller silicone

So this might be a little odd sounding, and I don't know how to fully describe it, but since the GF and I have gotten our PD, I wake up with a metallic taste in my mouth, especially when I exhale and let the air run over my taste buds. I'm virtually certain that this taste is coming from the PD. Has anyone had the same experience, and/or know what's going on? Thanks for the input. Rating: 5

I notice it especially when I wake up and have my morning 'lung oyster' session, hah.

Been over 3 months since I quit smoking, and my poor lungs still have a lot of purging to do. I don't want to add more crap into them with a product that SHOULD be helping me be healthy.

That's pretty bad dude. I got rid of the phlegm issue about a week after substituting vapor for smoke. Are you vaping 24/7?

There's nothing about the PD's stainless steel heat exchanger that would account for your description of 'metal lungs'. If it was a problem, why wouldn't the aluminum block heat exchanger on the Volcano be a problem? And stainless steel is what they use to make high quality water bottles.

You've started two threads on this vape. First you're a skeptic of the vapor shown in a video, calling it smoke when it can't get hot enough to combust. Now you're saying it's giving you 'metal lungs'. Why don't you get yourself a vape with an all glass vapor path to ease your suspicious mind?

Yeah I smoke 1.3g to 1.5g a day, plus 5 or so cigarettes. And once I switched to vaping my morning loogies were gone. Very rarely do I get some phlegm in my throat, but noting at all like smoke. I've been trying to put some money together for a PD, but I keep finding others things I need. Like the new E-Flight Blade CX3 helicopter :stoned:

That looks cool. Thanks for showing me another toy my wife will give me a hard time about.

Put away some lunch money for that PD. It's a jewel. I think it's safe to say nobody else will ever put out a vape that takes as long to make, and sells in this price range. And when you throw in the highest durability and efficiency, it's a 'gotta have' IMO.

Hi todd, I think I know what you mean. I've used the PD for nearly a year (using different vape now) and even though its a great little vaporizer it did leave a taste on my mouth a bit. Hard to explain but basically the same as the smell if you put your nose near the chamber. I also suffered with a sore mouth sometimes which I think was the heat drying my mouth. I was using it excessively mind. The taste will always be tainted somewhat with these designs compared to glass. I think the PD would be a much nicer experience with a longer glass stem.
