Yummy Lung Gunk!

Here's what you do:
Take a dense paper towel, napkin, or tissue (the kleenex kind).
Place a dryer sheet on top of the tissue.
Fold it in half a few times paper side out.

Take a nice sticky bong load.

Exhale through the folded up filter. Make sure you don't inhale or get the dryer sheet particles on your lips or in your mouth or lungs. Exhale only, if you gotta cough bitch out then...

Examine the nasty ass brown silhouette of your lips. Take a picture and post it.


Funky... right?

ive done that before plenty of times back in the day, except without the dryer sheet (that would leave a nastier taste i think) also i did it the reverse way. put the papertowl over the bong then rip it. works better as an added filter.

This is why I vape from now on

I loves me my black tar and soot. Seriously that's fucking gross.

look at the build up on every thing you smoke out of. I have bongs, pipes and bubblers and even 2 vaporizers that are caked! then think about what is in your lungs! lol! even after all that they still havent proven it to cause lung cancer!

Ive seen a few avatars that were pretty cool but I think yours tops them all so far jigga! +rep for avatar! lucky you if you're hitting that!

I did one the other day that literally glistened with wet tar. You could scrap it off with a razor.

Fucking soooo gross. I showed a friend of mine what I do (because I have pets and the smoke it bad for them) and he gagged.

I don't use the dryer sheets anymore. Just a Viva paper towel folded in half. When I fill up the next one I'll pop up another picture.

I have a bong with a twist in it, and the smoke condenses to get through the twist, then it hits the ice. When I use crushed ice resin will actually accumulate on the ice itself leaving resin stains all the way up the bong.

Haha, thanks, NoGutsGrower. ..Was hitting it but shit happens, move on to the next.

But yeah that black left over shit is pretty fucking rancid. I didn't realize I was getting all that gunk up in my lungs until I did the same thing.. Took a kleenex and held it to my mouth to exhale after a long rip. Bunch of yellow and brown crap. FROM ONE SINGLE RIP??? Damn. I've taken countless bongrips and my lungs have to be filled with that shit. No wonder my phlegm is all bogus looking when I'm sick (tmi? meh its human nature).
Even vapes do it to a small extent. I'm only 23 and I plan on toking up for the rest of my life, but I don't want to damage the internal goods. Without those, they'd be no use to me.. haha. Gonna invest in a primo vape for sure. Used to have 'Da buddha' and I'd notice the whip turning a yellowish brown with the wand collecting a ton of honey looking resin. Might have to go top shelf with a volcano at some point but even then, the bag used for them also collects honey looking resin.. Still not as much as whip vapes and you avoid burning your buds which da buddha did a lot which in turn made the buds in the wand/bowl turn black. Not good. It takes training to use but it still happens every now and then. Especially when you let a noob smoker use it while you're taking a break.

I'm glad some of you on here are aware of this and care enough to post threads like this to add awareness. Sure, lots of others don't give a flying fuck what goes in their lungs but there are the few of us that want to live a long enough high life. Especially if you're active..(hiking, beach trips, climbing tedious stairs of your apartment (if that applies to you).

it was found that marijuana smoke residue is extrusive and not intrusive, meaning - it does not adhere to your lungs the way intrusive tobacco smoke does. take much less time for your body to repair from a bong hit than a cig.

I'll be experimenting with my next harvest.

I'm going to water cure all of my trim and extra buds.

Then I'm going to make ice water extracted hash.

Then I'm going to take the purest filtration of trichomes, and subject that to a secondary refinement and filtration process. This is going to require a little chemistry to result in an ultra pure finished product.

Then I will smoke this twice distilled hash at the precise temperature required for vaporization.

Exhale through the paper... and then we'll see if anything can be done about this. Water cured, water extracted, micron filtered, chemically distilled, vaporized... Does it get cleaner?

Oh yeah! Edibles.

Sounds like a tough process. Haha. I've heard of water curing but I don't know anything about it. I should research that.

I did however learn about ice water extraction hash this week though. I'll be doing that with my clippings, leftover material and maybe.. loose popcorn buds. How would you go about doing the secondary process? I've seen 2 methods of ice water extraction where someone squeezed out the water into a jar and let the trichomes settle, then used a turkey baster to gather up all the water and let it dry out. The other method was a guy that just used a double coffee filter and he squeezed the water into a jar where the filter would gather the trichomes there.

I'm keeping an eye on your current grow and every method you'll take to get the finest purest smoke hahaha. I'm right behind ya sensei

Just learned about water curing after reading tons. Gonna do it with some bud as well. Anticipation building up. One more month!

wow you gotta love the misinformation in this thread.

tar doesn't stick in your lungs with cannabis as it does with ciggarettes, its been proven. ciggarettes do permenant damage to the lining of the lungs leaving deposites of nasty shit 10x nastier than what you just BLEW OUT (hence you blew it out, the majorty of the smoke didn't stick in your lungs...)
not to mention thc is an expectorant that causes you to cough up what little gnarly stuff would have stuck in there.

not to stick up for smoking..but when you have people wroried about cancer when there has never been ONE CONFIRMED CASE from cannabis alone causing cancer... (oh I just read you guys weren't claiming that, my bad..)

regardless, if you want to vape that's chill, if you like it more that's chill... it is better for you but it's debateable /how much/ better for you it truly is... when cannabis smoke has never been proven to cause emphasema, or any long term lung conditions or cancers... the worst you'll get is a bout of bronchitis if you're overzealous with your hits while you're stick...

sorry I prolly sound pretty adament... its' just that we've been smoking for over 10,000 years, without people getting more fucked up than they are off of todays fast food and processed food... and we're seriously trippin about smoking CANNABIS!?? hahahaa

Someone needs a good morning bowl...

For there to be misinformation there would need to be some "information" to begin with.

As I see it, because you know, I've spent the time to read the posts so I can appear to know what I'm talking about, this thread is just for the discussion of what is captured. To say that no tar builds up is incorrect, and any longtime cannabis smoker can attest to the funky blackness they have coughed up at one time or another.

Hell, I've had to scrape tar off my teeth before when taking a nice big sticky bong load.

I don't think anyone here is claiming that it will give you cancer or, for that matter, give you anything more than something nasty to cough up.

I do understand that from time to time we all go on little tirades and I'm not going to take your posts as hostility or an implication that some individuals in this thread are spreading misinformation based on ignorance. I think that maybe you misinterpreted something so I'm going to let this slide.

Later.

I've known a couple people who smoke heavily and some of them cough 24/7. This is why I vape 99% of the time, coughing is a nuisance.

I would have to say that most people agree vaping will cause much less coughing, regardless of what's really going on inside your lungs.

To each his own. Simply said. I like to keep my lungs as clean as possible and my mucus as clear as possible.

nothing like waking up coughing and hacking up black tar after a night of toking haha

i don't have links, but this can all be supported... since someone asked for information, lol

I read pot smoke has hundred of compounds , and many are known to cause cancer
I've read we exhale most of the smoke
but the actives are absorbed within a few seconds, so no need to ghost hits

vapor takes longer to be absorbed (~20 secs.)

studies point to the idea that pot smokers don't get cancer, UNLESS they smoke analogs or used to for a long time, then all bets are off

cilia are paralyzed by nicotine, preventing normal lung self-cleaning

if you don't smoke analogs your lungs will naturally cleanse themselves

and they're cleansing themselves all the time, that's why people who smoke analogs get cancer of the pancreas so much (pls switch to "swedish snus" & e-cigarette)

picture in the OP - at least you exhaled that isht, so it didn't stay in your lungs (i'm sure the other percentage puts a load on the system, it's gotta move all the crap to the other end of the train)
i think i read you exhale about 80-90%, not sure

EDIT (to add pictures):
this is a small bowl, eight or nine hits vaped through two sheets of Charmin, 20 secs each,
vapor was visible on most exhales
resin's there, just not black or brown

w/o flash

with flash


8 hits (maybe nine, hehe)


you have to save your "already been vaped" stuff since you can't get everything off of it, so brownies, cupcakes, firecrackers, bhang soy milk, peanut brittle, peanut fudge, peanut butter, cannabutter, canna oil, greendragon, tinctures, for small batches swamp water.


i'd post a picture of what my e-cigarette leaves, but the cinnamon i'm vaping in that would just look clear

did you know in sweden they process their tobacco different from everywhere else - so it doesn't cause cancer - it's not a secret - it's in small pouches at certain cigar shops in the US (General Snus is one)... So, there are safer ways of doing stuff, but relatively a light to moderate pot smoker who doesn't smoke analogs doesn't have to worry from what my pot doc says, and what i've read (no in forums)

This is why i smoke hash instead of bud.
