After my first puff on a dry herb vape, I knew I would never smoke again.

Thank you for putting this out there for people to hear. There’s a lot of confusions with the different forms of smoking/vaping and one way could be way healthier than another.

Dr. David, I remember you from school bro. Awesome

Vaping it has drastically reduced the amounts i've consumed. I am a chronic user of over 10 years due to medical reasons, and 7 years ago I could and often would smoke at least 2grams a day up to 3.5 grams, my cough was horrible. Since commiting to vaping, I now have success staying medicated all day off .75 grams at the most. I will admit I have a multitude of dry herb vape devices, it seems absurd, but they all perform differently for different situations and medical applications. It can get costly depending on what kind of device you want for your use case but it will pay itself off so fast if you just commit to the process. Take a t-break for a couple days before trying the first time.

​​@@InklanUtterfield i definitely still cough, maybe even more because vapor irritates my throat more than smoke but even so the cough is not as severe. I don't get lightheaded and "see stars" from my coughing now either. Drinking water before and during the vape session definitely reduces coughing. Vaping has helped reduce phlegm as well and it's now clear/white instead of brown/black. Sorry if that's TMI. There are cons as well, but it's vastly healthier. My lungs are working better for sure

Dr. Dave I just got my medical Marijuana card because I suffer from PTSD and other medical issues. I've been smoking for years to help me with this. Today I got my first dose from a dispensery and was very impressed with the experience. The only thing I can say is that it seemed pure and a totally different feeling then I'm used to. I was so much more relaxed and my mind was clear. Your video on dry vaping vs smoking was very informative. The way you described things was very understandable. I subscribed so I can enjoy watching more of your videos to gain more knowledge on the subject.

Thank you Doc for informative video! Unfortunately, I discovered that there are studies confirming that dry herb vaping still produces high concentrations of pm2.5. For example, you can find them by words "Measuring Aerosol Particle Emissions from Cannabis Vaporization and Dabbing" and 'Particles emissions from dry chamomile vaporization' . Perhaps you have any additional information/opinion on this matter? I would be extremely grateful if you share some knowledge

Hey doctor ive had 3 lung collapses first time I was working out downstairs working out I felt a pop si I went upstairs n smoked while i inhales my chest hurt I rushed to the hospital n they told me it was a lung collapse i continúe smoking n it happened again months later so they did ploradises n I stopped fully but it happened again n the same king collapsed 25% from the bottom they said it was bcz i carried heavy bags at work right now my whole lung is attached to my chest wall any advice on smoking.

Hi Dr David. I use a mighty medic vape with a hose adapter into a triple chamber water pipe with ICE. Trying to achieve the cleanest way of inhalation. Could you comment or add to my set up if there's a way to improve it further? What are your thoughts on this? I haven't seen any videos covering this...

@FnVRGaming - Hi. Assuming that the flower itself is clear of pesticides, metals, molds etc, the only thing that I would verify is that the temperature of the Mighty is set to where there is not combustion. If there are heavy puffs of smoke appearing exhaled air, or the used flower is very dark brown to black, there could still be combustion happening. Hope that helps!

❤ I love Texas CBD

the performance of dry herb vaporizers can vary greatly, I'd say portable devices struggle to extract quickly for the most part. There are very good desktop ones that you can plug to a water pipe, those are called "ball vapes" and will extract very quickly and efficiently, I think they are the best for heavy medical usage. about dabs, it's actually vaping too, the cannabis oil is heated in a banger either with a torch or a coil and there is no combustion either.

@@DrDavidMD There are always just videos and articles that say combustion = bad and dry herb vapor = not so bad. These are just basic infos that everyone can find everywhere for the last 10 years and that are repeated by every last vaporizer retailer on the planet. I really appreciate that someone is actually making a diffference between vaping oils and vaping herb. Much more interesting questions are: What are risks and negative effects of using dry herb vaporizers? Will the residue of the vapor remain in the lungs? What is the effect on the lungs when someone inhales hot air into the lungs on a regular basis (like 170°C-180°C hot)?

@@nachnamevorhanden3335 - I am not aware of any studies that look at potential residue from dry herb vaping, but this form of inhalation should deliver less residue compared to oil vapes or burning the flower. The temperature of the air in the lung tissue is not 170°C-180°C. That is the temperature the oil or flower is heated to in order to produce the vapor. Room temperature air dilutes the heat as the breath is inhaled, and this mixes with the body temperature of the air in the airway and alveoli (the cells where gas exchange happens.)

What works great for me, is to take my weed, say an eighth ounce, grind it in a coffee grinder, then in the oven at 280 degrees to dry it good, then in a clean cappuccino bottle, filled with 180 degree water, and I shake it around, in less then half hour, the clean 180 degree water turns a dark orange, which I filter out using a coffee filter in a sifter, then, I'll purge again, or if I only want a single purge I stop, squeeze out the water from the coffee filter holding the eighth of weed, I then wrap it in a clean shirt, roll it up three rolls, them I stand on it, to semi dry it, to where then I put the wrapped coffee filtered weed inside my soxhlet chamber and process it with acetone, keeping the condencer cold with ice cubes...a small ebay 12 volt pump keeps the water flowing from the ice water to the condenser ... I've tried using vacuum pump to purge which seems to purge faster, but I notice bumping at reduced atmosphere, from the water flashing to steam in the Soxhlet, and I don't like bumping, it can break the boiling flask, so, I don't soxhlet the oil out under reduced atmospheric pressures til I figure out how to achieve it without the bumping... But vacuum pumping the purge is no problem... Only thing is, is that soxhletting using a vacuum pump yields an amber colored oil, because acetone boils under reduced atmospheric pressure pretty close to room temperature under a vacuum eliminating thc degradation, which is why no dark oil is seen which indicate the heat degraded the oil a little normally under no vacuum .. Hmm, after thinking about this, I should some way figure out how to dry the weed prior to soxhletting, as I may be able to soxhlet using a vacuum, if theres no water, which has a bad habit of bumping, where the water flashes to steam, and can damage the boiling flask, and then, the poor oil would mix with the hot water in the hot pan, wasting it... So until then I make do soxhletting without a vacuum, and true, the oil turns a black color, but it's still very good and far less coughy to toke than bud

Interesting. I’m a long time user and mostly dry herb vape now but did smoke it before that was available. I do find that for some medical purposes just smoking it works better than vaping for me. For example if I’m nauseous I just smoke a small amount of flower and it helps a lot, where as if I vaped the flower i wouldn’t get relief. And if I vaped a comparable cartridge I’d feel very little relief. Is there a reason for that or is it just my body’s reaction to vaping vs smoking personally

@bring.us.together - Hi - and thanks for commenting. Many people have not done well and/or gotten sick from vaping THC. Many street vape cartridges have toxins, vitamin E oil, and many other issues that good companies test and Florida-approved medical dispensaries test for. I think a big difference can also be seen by the extraction method. I believe live rosin is the safest due to there being no chemicals used in the process. Also, dry herb vaping of clean ground flower have neither chemicals nor the burning of plant material involved. My two cents!

Do not buy Cali 5G vapes. Their new sealed vapes have a huge air bubble in them, shorting them to about 4 grams, just so they can sell more. F that kind of drug dealer greed. They used to be filled to the top, always. I am now seeking out a Binoid 5G or 7G! I bet they fill up their vapes, and they probably still make great profits. Don’t pay for air bubbles!!
