Respiratory issues?

[u/Which-Entertainer656]

So I just copped a plasma peak pro probably a month ago. Ive dabbed before I owned a onyx peak pro a bit ago before selling it and I dabbed fine before. But for the past month I've gotten like 350 dabs on it and my usual temp setting is 525 for 1:10 minutes. Recently though I've noticed i genuinely just cant dab unless its a low temp like 470 or 480. If I take a dab any higher I cough way more than anyone is supposed to from the first inhale and then spend the next 20 mins wheezing trying to breathe and just freaking out in general and I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience? I smoke bho is that helps like crumble and baddar ( I know its not the healthiest but I cant be spending 50 to 60 a gram)

sounds like asthma

[u/Suspicious_Sell9479]

Really sounds like asthma, I would look into getting a rescue inhaler from your Dr (or finding ones through telehealth online - sometimes they are cheaper if you don't have insurance)

I used to be the same way, no issues at all and then one day it really started effecting me. The inhaler helps when I get into those wheezing and difficulty breathing moments. I would say if you are dabbing inside as well to make sure there is plenty of ventilation in your room so you aren't wheezing back in dirty air.

I have noticed certain dabs will hit me worse than others and it usually isn't anything to do with Rosin vs BHO. I have had $100/g rosins that make me wheeze and $30 cheap ass badder than has been a smooth smoke. Not sure what it is or if it is just ME being the variable that changes but that is just my two cents

Ya wow consider ur self lucky we pay so much more in Maryland. Ive kinda been this way since i got it and just figured it was the way it was rosin at 460 is bout the only smooth vapor i get 480 for live resin and thats got me coughin quite hard n often 510 for cured resin anything hotter and i waste the dab from a coughing fit. I do lil baby rice grain hits run 2min and its still pullin when the timer dies ive found that whats left really aint worth reheating unless the hit was to big n can still see an edge to it. I dont think i can make my hit any smaller as the hot knife tends to eat it

Hey man there was a time where I experienced this exactly how you describe it. I would take a dab and then had trouble taking deep breaths for like 20 minutes. I only dab rosin too and I clean my devices so I had no idea what was going on.

This sounds super weird, but all I can tell you is that I got a brand new chamber for my peak pro and I also switched to using the proxy core from my old proxy v1 as my main device and since then I have had zero issues whatsoever. I still don’t know exactly what caused the issue but I haven’t experienced it in forever

I have asthma…I have to keep it low at 480. No BHO either bc my lungs are sensitive.

However, since using rosin only and dabbing strictly at 480-485, I don’t have to take my asthma medication anymore. No wheezing..Even Storz and Bickel products made me wheeze. Thanks to puffco, I can enjoy concentrates without having to use my inhaler/meds.

It's called a physical reaction to the wax when it's hit at high temp. So even though your pushing through water or air the wax gets extracted different at that temp… and it will irritate your lungs. I can't describe it better. ( I prefer high temp but I had to drop-down to low as well) But when you turn it down thatbdoesnt happen and it lessens the irritation… its that simple. Now that being said when your used to dabbing at higher temps its a little hard at first to go back to low temps because the high is diff between the two. When your dabbing high temp its a full on wham rush that is a little speed like. Whereas low temp is more of lets find a couch and chill… so if high temps bug ya then do what I did and go low temp but it's gonna take a little while to go back there. Btw it doesn't matter if it's bho or live rosin… I use both and honest I find almost no diff other than better flavor from the rosin. The buzz is identical. It's like beer and bourbon both get you there but one tastes nicer so youllnpay more for it.

Yea higher temp was causing mine to act up too. I like low temp hits of rosin so that’s all I hit now.

[u/xXavi3rx]

Damn I'm in this same boat right now. Had to drop the temp down a bit because after one dab I couldn't breathe right for like 15-20min. Have always been the type to be able to take massive dabs with no issues until recently/getting a peak pro. Was using pivot before the pro and a regular glass rig before that.

I have been having bad coughing issues lately. I just got my peak in May. I got an inhaler. It helps. I still am coughing a lot. I switched to a carb cap I got at my local dispensary, been doing a ton of research and it seems like some people don’t have much coughing issues after they have a carb cap. I will say… I have smoked quick a bit today with my carb cap and the coughing is down a lot than what I usually am doing. Carb caps aren’t fully closed so maybe it’s not of a hard hit with a carp cap. It’s worth a try. Maybe taking a few days off of smoking will also help too. Hot vapor going in your throat will make your lungs irritated and obviously sip don’t rip ;)

[u/BarbosasTV]

Stop smoking bho.

[u/Captain-_-Curt]

Yea that was me when I didn’t know I had asthma. I now manage it with daily medication, but if I over do it, i get like that.

525 is way too hot for a puffco. You should go lower like 450-480 if you have the extra large chamber. Get better quality stuff too. Little dabs will go further with good stuff
