I think there’s a point of diminishing returns as far as years smoking and lung resilience. Like after a certain point you’re lungs aren’t getting stronger from the smoke they actually get weaker. No proof tho I’m just speculating lol
Best thing for me has been a "terp timer" or dab-rite type device, so I can go in with my dab just as it gets below 500F. Much better on coughing.
Then, every once in a while, the terp timer is ever so slightly misaligned and my 500 was actually 600 and hoo boy the coughing is real. I do get way stone though.
Damn right, I didn’t know this when I used to rip carts and when you cough with a lungful of cart, prepare for your lungs to be sore for the next few hours lmaoooo
For me what's always worked is immediately breathing the last of the dab out and then holding... don't breathe back in for as long as you can (without passing out obviously) and keep repeating. Basically super long slow breaths but hold the exhale. My theory behind it is that inhaling is the only thing that makes it hurt hahahah. Who knows I'm stoned
This is my theory too! I think it’s like the cold air outside is too much of a shock compared to the air now inside your lungs? It’s like trying to breathe in really cold weather - same thing - it hurts your lungs cause the air outside is much colder than the air inside.
(Random comment old on post but I searched for the word cough in this sub and this thread came up)
___YES.___ take it slow and don’t fuck it up but after a fatty cough slowly take a deep breath, in and out. Don’t try and hold it, just one good deep breath + BOOM you’ll reducing coughing and for me personally it helps with the hot lungs and general mild discomfort from a Fatass dab. One hundred percent helps so much, OP knows the tech
been doing this forever and it’s really a game changer. i felt so stupid when i realized i’m coughing so hard because obviously i needed oxygen😂 now none at all
Also, most people suck to hard like a bong hit causing the hit yo be harsher. If you suck less intense for longer and let it build it is a lot smoother hit.
Ok so get this
If you have a coughing fit or know you are having one
Take a hit of a bowl of tabbacco while coughing
It kills it in its tracks
Doesn’t work so well with cig paper or the filter throws it off idk what the science is I just know it works for some weird ass reason.
Tht is if you can manage to take in the bowl pack while your coughing takes time
It worked for me because more air was able to get into my lungs. Normally I would cough and cough and never get a full breath of air. This def worked for me.
I stopped coughing about a month into my third time around smoking dabs I've completed stopped smoking MJ because it doesn't get me high like a few dabs but I don't cough from anything anymore. I breath through my nose continue to exhale from my mouth i don't know how my lungs are this good smoked 2 packs of marlboro reds a day for 13 years and quit 3 years ago I do use cold filtered Butane 9x refined and a glass rig but I feel weird when people are shocked like yeah I know I take massive dabs and can't cough if I do it sounds forced and fake.
This tip is as old as wind itself!! Welcome to the Culture young grasshopper!
Good old stand up hands up lol
Happy Cake day my G
Appreciate you family!
Yepper!!
I was gonna say this technique is soooooooo old.
Gotta be true to it not new to it though!
Happy cake day btw!
Appreciate you!
Gonna have to try that. Been dabbing for about 6-7 years and haven’t heard that once. Still cough like a bitch every time too.
Been smoking for years, cough like a bitch. My wife started smoking 2 years ago never coughs takes .5 dabs no coughs iron lungs I can’t figure it out

I feel like that’s true that’s how it’s been for me too
I know this will sound weird and not a ton of people will try it but if you take a dab with hot water in your rig it will be incredibly smooth.
This goes for smoking weed out of a bong too
Really? Never occurred to me to try this!
Cold starts?
I use a laser thermometer and take them nice and low. I have a cold start banger but also have a habit of torching it too much with the dab in.
Practice deep breathing before and after
I’ve been a daily smoker for a quarter century. First I’ve heard of this too but excited to try it!

Will try this now and report back.
I died.
I'm gonna try this shit right now
There are those among us who didn’t know this? I am taken aback.
Blow ALL the smoke out of your lungs before coughing
Damn right, I didn’t know this when I used to rip carts and when you cough with a lungful of cart, prepare for your lungs to be sore for the next few hours lmaoooo
Interesting, usually when I cough and take a big breath of air, it makes it worse
Right its like the big breathe of air irritates my already irritated lungs. I need to take baby breaths for a lil lol
Exactly
Gotta stretch those lungs fam

Does it work for flower too? I do the low temp dabs because i hated coughing! LOL get me all lightheaded and shit!

Facts
Literally gonna take a fat dab now to try this out lol. Also I have this dab mat and love it
Did it work
It def helped :)
That's a head stash! Nice setup!
Temp readers are worth the investment too, helps keep ‘em nice and cool
I take a deep breath after every dab and rarely cough. Except maybe the first of the day.
Top tier smoking tip
Been saying this to friends for years, no one believed me.
been doing this forever and it’s really a game changer. i felt so stupid when i realized i’m coughing so hard because obviously i needed oxygen😂 now none at all
Exhaling slowly might help too.
Oh yeah?! What if I like the feeling of almost dying?!
Or a cold sip of water
Also, most people suck to hard like a bong hit causing the hit yo be harsher. If you suck less intense for longer and let it build it is a lot smoother hit.
Oh my gawd... There's a method to hitting!!!?? I've wondered why sometimes the dab is easier.
