Concentrate globe & your throat

Recently made the switch to all hash concentrate smoking, no herb whatsoever. Not a cig smoker either. My problem/question, what is causing my throat to be sore after smoking the concentrates out of my new piece? I have the best earwax possible so it's not product and glass on glass multi. - perculated bong to pull through. Thoughts?

Well do u hold it in for along time? maybe the hash has chemicals unless u make it, or maybe ur not use to it yet. my homie saiid hash is fucking strong n i never tried it b4. so yeah maybe u got to get use to it first.

I do hold it in for a few seconds but didn't think it was overly long. The hash is butane extracted but has been purged and I let mine dry in the heat all day unsealed to let any extra butane evaporate off. I've smoked hash and weed for years now and never had any kind of an issue for a period of time. Only thing I can think of is chemicals are still in the wax somehow....

ok well my humble opinion it would be the chemicals or the hash is really strong to what u smoked before. Cuz one time i tried to smoke some leaves hahaha
just to c if i will get high of it n no im not a crackhead so i did but my throat was harsh as fuk n the smoke was too fucking strong
the plant wasnt flushed i just smoked dead leaves n i guess a few chemicals :/

We've recently been making and smoking mostly bho; we have been smoking more oil so our harvest has more time to properly cure! But I do notice a definite increase in coughing since we've been smoking more bho. It's actually making me think about quitting smoking cigarettes! lol....I think it has a lot to do with how strong concentrates are. I don't know about anyone else, but we used to only smoke bho on top of bud, and we used to cough like crazy just from adding it to the bud, so it makes sense that it would be more harsh all on its own. But, you should also always keep in mind that bho extractions may still contain trace amounts of butane, no matter how much you purge it. So that could be it too.
You mentioned you let your bho sit out in the heat to dry....have you ever tried warming it slightly on a coffee mug warmer and stirring? It gets a LOT of the butane out, and if you do that 2 or 3 times and THEN let it sit you might notice a difference!

^I don't haha, that's why I keep purging once I've purchased from dispensary until it's gone. It's lab tested here in Colorado but don't I see anything on the sheet about remaining butane content, which would be nice for certain type of hash. I could see the raw hash being the cause due to it's strength but I guess it threw me off thinking I would be "healthier" smoking this was. Thanks for all the reply's, still having throat pain but gonna try some ideas and see if anything helps. Haven't iced the bong, maybe this will smooth the hit for me better.

I think your on to it, the strength and hitting the hash alone. Im also going to try the warmer purging idea, not to hot but hotter than what i've been getting. thanks again all
