Long Term Health Concerns

[Joint Monster]

Op,

For your memory, I would get blood work done and see how your Copper Levels are.

For your lungs, if you can afford a volcano vaporizer I would highly recommend that. It takes a little "adjustment" from smoking to get used to the high, but over-time it's much better. I didn't like it so much at first but know I much prefer it over joints.

I had got a little joint crazy at one point and definitely regret it. But all is good now, just laid off joints for a long time. Now I enjoy them from time to time, but still volcano is hard to beat.

If vaping is harsh, maybe you are vaping too high? (same with concentrates). Vape bud at like 360ish. Much more enjoyable.

You heat the tip real hot, then stick it into a pile of shatter and inhale like a straw.
My peers call it the suicide straw because it's extremely easy to push it in too far, inhale too hard or just generally get a mouthful of shatter.

I call mine a nectar collector, but I put the portion I want to smoke on a safety pin and hit it off that. Rosin tastes deadly with it. I only heat it for 20 seconds and it works great.

Few clarifications:

1. My cough isn't that bad, it's actually extremely rare, but something I would like to keep that way
2. I have a volcano and love it. I also have an Arizer Solo but I can't find the charger, so will have to get a new charger
3. When I say vaping is harsh, that's only referring to shatter - vaping flower doesn't bother me at all, in fact I quite enjoy it

And it's smooth as hell, but I only hit rosin, shatter is too harsh for my weak lungs

how long before you adjusted to the volcano? i bought one and it's pretty much an expensive paperweight. i don't get the same feeling as a dab or doob. someone said I might not be used to a "clean" high....??

It depends on the temperature I find. If you vape at different temps you get a better high as you're getting a wider range of cannabinoids. Do you have the digital one one or original? On the original try a bag or two on 6, stir up your herb, repeat on 7, stir and finish at max. If you have the digital I'm sure you can find the corresponding temperatures to the numbers I gave you. Theyre in the manual, so maybe check the Storz and Bickel website for a digital version.
