vaporizing making my respiratory infection/irritation worse?

[Delta9 UK]

I get a little cough sometimes if I have an RI - but I always blame it on lung expansion and figure I really would feel like crap without it

From personal experience, I've found that vaporizing can actually cause some serious chest pain if done too often... even more so than smoke. I am not the only one, my little group all experience the same thing to different degrees. I try to limit my vaporizing because of this, and not do it as often.

got it... i cut my hits down to 1/2 the size i normally do and this has DRASTICALLY helped... i was taking big hits and i think that was causing the extra irritation. i also cut down to just once a day.

Using a vaporiser opens your lungs that bit more than smoking weed, and so you tend to cough up a little phlem now and again.
Your cleaning your lungs, not breaking them.
