As the title, recently had an asthma appointment and this was the outcome. Looking to still use cannabis but make it as easy on my chest as possible.
Currently using vaporizors (volcano and 2 boundless units) but find this to be harsher than a bong, even with water pieces. Looking for any ideas from folks, nor wanting to switch to edibles as the instant effects from vape/smoke are more effective for my needs

Keep the vape below 200, ideally around 185 for most of the session. Use the avb to make tincture and take a few drops of tincture with each meal to get a nice level of THC in your system, then you'll need to vape less, further reducing the load on the lungs.
I also have asthma, I stay medicated all day every day and flew through my last asthma check-up.

Is there any reason why you can’t do both? Use less in the vapes and get used to using edibles. Ultimately you need to think whether your current needs for rapid effects are more important than your long term lung health, and only you can know that.

With the greatest of respect. You might not want to switch to edibles but your lungs are desperate for you to.

Switch to oils. I have severe lung disease and trust me it’s a horrible and exhausting way to live so if I were you I’d be trying to prevent any further lung damage

Yeah, edibles and maybe warm water in the bong?
I appreciate that some folk don't get on with edibles (me being one of them) but maybe you can supplement smaller hits with SOME edibles?

Try strains with Pinene. It’s a bronchial dilator. I find it helps my asthma, I use less steroids. I have 60 year old lungs.

You'll have to try multiple things and see what works for you, I'm a sensative athsmatic and I have a volcano hybrid and mighty plus but find them both more chesty than a standard blunt. Technically they should be easier on my lungs, but I end up with more athsma attacks and athsma related issues using vaporizers, so find what works for you and don't listen to anyone else.

Have a look at this thread it's about using a 3% saline solution with a water pipe

Lower your temps and increase them by 10 degrees when the vapor isn’t very cloudy.

Vaping is a different throat feel to any other kind of consumption method, it is alien to most people at first. I struggled for a while but am just about there with it now. Like with smoking, it takes a little bit for the throat to get used to it. Your lungs will likely thank you for it.

look for strains high in Alpha and Beta Pinene.. since using high Pinene strains, my asthma has massively improved
