Is coughing eliminated? ---

Way less coughing, almost none if you take more moderate hits. ---

> [@HoneyBadgerDC](#): > > Is coughing eliminated? A lot less. Smoking weed makes me cough like crazy normally, but I can usually take a hit of my vape with little problem. I do still cough from time to time, but it’s not nearly as intense. ---

Over 10 years ago I switched from smoking to vaping in a [Volcano](https://www.storz-bickel.com/en-us/volcanoclassic). I decided on the Volcano, even though it’s expensive, after trying 2 other cheap vaporizers which didn’t work well at all. The Volcano works great. More recently, in the past 3 years or so, I’ve switched to vape cartridges. IMHO they are much more convenient and easier to use than dealing with leaf. However no form of vaping has eliminated coughing for me. ---

Sometimes with the Dynavap, if it’s not a huge hit, I’ll wonder for a second if I even got anything, and then I exhale a pretty nice cloud. There’s a bong adapter available so that would probably smooth it out even more. ---

I switched to vaping concentrates many years ago, and I find the price and availability at the dispensaries is great. I also bought a dry herb vape for all the flower I grew outside a few years ago. Still smoke occasionally using cones since I was never good at rolling. ---

I have never even used a vape lol. I only smoke a few times a year so I haven’t really explored some of the newer technology. It does look a bit overwhelming. ---

Thank you. Maybe when I am ready to retire and have more time on my hands I will take the plunge. ---

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too… Mitch Hedburg (RIP). ---
