Be careful vaping from sketchy CBD/THC vapes. They can make some people sick. Whole flower is better, get a good dry herb vape (I know I will after this bout with my illness, even my emergency room doctor recommended a good dry herb vape instead).

Thanks to a illness called Cannabinoid Hyper Emesis, I've been puking my guts up almost every hour today.

Apparently CBD/THC can alter the rate at which you digest your food, and this seems to be one of the main roots of this illness.

edit

Thanks for all fhe kind responses i am now discharged from the hospital.

Make sure to pay your bills or we’ll confiscate your heart rule

Well you've got to catch me first (trips over IV line currently hooked to arm).

[–] adj16@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

😆

Sorry about your barfs, friendo. Hope you get better soon

[–] electric@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who could have possibly known breathing in funky plant chemicals from a pen could impact your health?

I hope more people stop this fad or we'll end up replacing the frail chain smoker generation with vaping victims.

That's why I use edibles instead, plus it gives me time to lock the fridge

Feel better soon, and you rock for taking the time to PSA your issue to spare others!

🤙❤️💪

If you don't mind me asking, what country are you located in? These pens are pretty common in Canada, but produced at a federally legal level, possibly correlated to why I havent yet heard about any illnesses here

[–] CyberBoy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Im in the USA, the vapes I was getting contained legal THC derived hemp based CBD.

I do question the purity of them, they were relatively cheap and In the US there's no government oversight over these things so its kind of hard to know what you're getting at times if you have a sketchy vendor or shop you're getting from.

Edited a bit for additional clarification.

Just like the 'Indian's reserves over here lol, they're technically their own provience so they do whatever they want.

But excuse my lack of stoner knowowledge but Tf is CBC derived THC?

[–] rarely@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I think they mean CBD extracted from female cannabis plants, not male plants. Or they mean CBD extracted from cannabis (male or female) vs CBD extracted from non-cannabis trees (which is a thing).

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know if that even possible but thc of akai wristlet available? Or this done US law loophole thing?

[–] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

First sentence was lost to autocorrect lol, but it probably is some American loophole, hopefully not trying to make synthetic THC cause thats just a recipe for disaster - and US would probably put it in more things then they do corn starch

Oh wow swipe typing really let me down there eh?

[–] miked@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

My sister is a nurse and freaks out any time I mention vaping because of shady carts. She smokes lots of flower.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 6 points 1 year ago

I tried some THC vape some months ago and was fantastic, that shit got me high as never before. But I'm afraid of buying because of what you said. Hard to know if they are legit if you live somewhere where even regular nicotine vapes (and weed) are illegal.

[–] rubythulhu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For dry flower vape, I recommend whole-heartedly the Mighty+ made by storz&bickel.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

$400 jfc

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Cheaper than a hospital stay. More expensive than not vaping.

I quit my hookah a year ago now and can recommend.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Arizer’s Solo II is an excellent handheld option

[–] ilillilillilillililli@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Crafty+ is about $200. Battery life is mediocre compared to the Mighty but it still gets the job done.

My magic flight launch box is still working amazing after… a million years

Quick edit: dang, they’re double price now.

[–] priapus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Those are great vapes, but I'd only recommend them to somebody who already smokes. For somebody new, I'd recommend the arizer air max

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Arizer Solo II

That’s all I got to say

[–] Mordachai_Shedbacon@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Just happened to my buddy. Get well soon yo ❤️‍🩹

[–] Bloodwoodsrisen@lemmy.tf 3 points 1 year ago

Being in the hospital is never fun, even though I've almost always been an outpatient, minus one incident. Get better soon!!

[–] echo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i do prefer vaping flower but you can also just not go absolutely crazy on the pen and be fine

[–] CyberBoy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wasn't going crazy on the vapes though. Maybe 7 or 8 hits total per day. Im definitely switching to flower soon.

[–] echo@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

in that case idk if flower would make a difference. the difference is just that the cannabinoids are more concentrated

[–] Stache_@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Had you vaped other carts before this one, or is this the first time using vape cartridges in general?

[–] CyberBoy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I've been vaping for a while now and I've been using this particular brand of disposable vapes for a while now too.
