So to my understanding, when you vaporize the THC in marijuana, you inhale pretty much only THC, some other cannabinoids, and water. I have noticed what feels like deep congestion coupled with shortness of breath after i take a pretty good sized hit off my vaporizer.
I could understand cottonmouth still occurring after switching from smoking to vaporizing, but does THC really cause congestion and that heavy feeling in your chest no matter how you get it into your lungs?
I'm just looking for ideas as to why you still get that feeling in your lungs after suckin on vapor.

-Not enough running/swimming..etc
-Ciggerates (My love for weed made me cut down from a pack a day to 1-2 prime times a night.) It's so much more soothing.

Try googling your symptoms and associate it with THC.

i have actually just started smoking cigs. What would smoking cigs have to do with the THC getting deep in my lungs?

It only lasts for 15 minutes max...I still have pretty good stamina...I'm not out of shape (6'4", 180lbs)...im thinking its the cigs, but what do they do?

Instead of addin a new thread, I'll switch views a little.

I was reading through a thread about using IPA to clean your pipe, then letting the Iso evaporate so you get all the resin from the pipe.

I did this and ended up using an old shaving razor to scrape the couple of plates i used. I put the resin in the vape and started heating it over a candle. It took a little bit to see anything come up so i just started sucking on my tube that goes down into the vape. then this thick black stuff started coming up and it felt pretty bad in my lungs.
No smoke came out when i exhaled.
I used my vape on it again and caped it this time. the bulb filled with a thick and roughly brown vaper. I ripped it all in and it felt like cyanide in my lungs. Nevertheless, i held it till i got to the window. I looked at the vape and the resin was still boiling those thick fumes, so i inhaled those.

I did get stoned...but it was a very weird and strangely hyper typed stoned. It wasn't like anything ive ever felt before. And i thre up halfway through this post and i think im gonna throw up again
I don't have too many people who i can talk to about "advanced" weed smoking that would actually give relevant feedback

I have also had similar effects from smoking resin (not to your extent). But It was a fucking weird high and my lungs felt like shit this was only a few days ago. Ive come to the conclusion that smoking resin is fucking shit and I'm only gonna stick to pure green shit from now on and lets be honest would you rather be smoking some nice pure green shit or some shitty looking black resin thats probably a shitload more damaging to your lungs.

I've smoked resin from a pipe before and it was fine...but trying to vaporize it...bleah.
I also took a bunch of temazepam, lorazepam, and some hydrocodone too. I think thats why i threw up...twice.

Vaporizing is supposed to be easier on the lungs, Im guessing you have some sort of respiratory disease or your hitting it wrong.

Is the vapor really hot? What kind of device are you using?
