I am interested also. Would you know if there is a difference between vaping and smoking? I tried smoking a couple of times a few years ago, but it made my chest hurt and made me cough up thick, green phlegm for at least a day afterward. At that time I didn’t know I had bronchiectasis or MAC. I just knew then it was NOT for me. I wonder if vaping would be different now.

Smoking and vaping are completely different.
Vaping is very different from smoking. You might cough a few times afterward, but coughing up phlegm is a good thing!

Ginak. It is my understanding that the current issues with vaping thc have to do with the oils that are created as part of the inhalation/deliveryprocess. Lungs, especially those with compromising conditions such as Mac or ntm’s, should not be exposed to substances that would inhibit oxygen exchange. I would check with your pulmonologist and follow recommendations . I don’t believe much if any research has been done regarding cannabis or thc vaping and more and more reports of lung damage are surfacing each day. I would definately proceed with caution and check with my pulmonologist. This is just my opinion.
