not so sure how safe vaporizers are now

[mrdevious]

I'm rather stoned at the moment, so please excuse anything that may come out stupid.

anyway, after using my vaporizer, I've been coughing for like 10 minutes. not in a smoke kind of way, more like in a drowning way. inhaling the vapore, once it's in your lungs, is like inhaling some water, and it felt like water in my lungs, like I'm drowning. it's very unpleasant. though it's just mostly passed now. other people get this right?

hope u dident use a LightBulb=/

even if u did inhale water.... wouldn't it just evaporate. there's already plenty of water vapor in the air anyways, so i'm sure it wouldn't hurt that bad. think of it as a rinse cycle for your lungs.

I think you just got a dirty hit. Dirty hits from a vaporizer are gross as hell. This happens to me when the weed is spent. I'm trying to get one more hit and I end up trying to hard and burning it. It so digusting, because all the thc tasting stuff is gone. It's like the worst schwag you could ever smoke. Makes me cough like a mother fucker.

i have never had a feeling of drowning when vaporizing

Your not supposed to inhale any smoke from that lightbulb vaporizer as it is carbon monoxide. You are just supposed to inhale the colorless vapor when you swirl the lighter under it. You can't see it but it's there. I clearly stated that in my "Homemade Vaporizer Construction" thread. If you inhaled smoke it's exactly like sucking on a car exhaust pipe which yes can kill you but it is probable you would be rendered unconsious first.

you wont get enough to kill u..

actually I am using a lightbulb, is that bad for some reason?

also, in regards to what zero was saying, I'm not getting any smoke ( at least I don't think it's smoke), but it's not invisible either, it's just a clear looking "vapor", or at least I thought that's what it is.

You have to understand a vaporizer will force more THC into your body than anything else will short of eating "magic brownies" so is it possible you never got that high before?

Heres an example- i personally grow Northern Lights#5 which has a THC content of about 20%. However that does not mean that when you use it you are getting 20% THC. Smoking that type of weed in a blunt will only get you 3 to 5% of the possible 20%. Using a vaporizer knocks your dick in the dirt at anywhere from 11% to 15%. That's a big difference.
