Vaporizer - Yellow mucus

hello fellow tokers :bigjoint: hittin a vape while typing this. (have an arizer extreme q) works wonders other than a few of the tubing pieces) which i have only smoked the finest of nugs out of.

Okay not the point of this thread. The point is, I had a collapsed lung a few weeks ago, probably 4. and since i've been smoking out of the vape ive been coughing up yellow like mucus every morning. now i'm asking if about this being from the vape because the resin on my vape looks dark yellow, which kind of looks the stuff i cough up in the morning. but i for sure don't want pneumonia from my other medical problems. any help?
 
I'm sure vaping would be the best way for you to do it, right? See what color you cough up using a bong with a BIC :P
 
You need to stop vaping for a while and just use edibles or tinctures. Plus you need to go back to the doctor. You may have an infection in your lungs due to the collapse. Get thee to a doctor, sir. :)
 
what's up with all the rainbow mucous around here? i was just in another thread telling a dude that yellow or green lungys are almost always an infection. tell your doc, especially if you are recovering from a collapsed lung. whether it's the vape or not i really can't say. how much resin are you talking about on the vape? it might need a cleaning.
 
I'm sure since you had a collapsed lung, that would contribute to the excess mucus. I have asthma and when I use my vape it opens my bronchials and loosens mucus which I cough up. It's usually clear though unless I'm sick or in your case a collapsed lung. I think you're fine, but you should ask your doc if yellow mucus is normal for that kind of injury. But I'd say the vape is helping that stuff come loose, like an inhaler would.

An inhaler helps break it up because of Albuterol, not because it's a steamy substance. Although sometimes a steamy shower or something would help, so I see where you're getting that at :P
 
I have also collapsed a lung. not fun, yellow mucus is lung fluid reacting to an infection or damage. Turn down the temp on the vap if its making your bags yellow n shit..

Who said that vapes work because it's a "steamy substance"? Bowls work too but vapes work better. Has nothing to do with steam. Before I started vaporizing I would hit a bowl if I woke up at night wheezing and coughing. It would work the same as my inhaler with opening the bronchs and clearing mucous, plus help me go back to sleep.

That's some good info man, I have asthma and get bronchitis quite often because of it. Maybe if I started vaping that would help at least a lil bit :P
 
you really think i should go to a doctor? i thought all people coughed up yellow shit when they smoke a lot ...

brown, maybe, or clear. yellow is not normal for anyone unless they have an infection. you probably need antibiotics. if it's an insurance or money issue you could probably wait a few days and see if it clears up, like maybe a passing virus like a cold or something. but yellow means infection and if you are also wheezing you want to get that checked out.

Not all strains work good though. Jilly Bean made me wheeze even when I wasn't having any issues. My Grapefruit Krush on the other hand works just as good or better than my inhaler.
