As mentioned, get a carbon filter for your bong/pipe... after a couple bowls, you'll never hit it without one again and you'll be disgusted with how much and how quickly the carbon (and attachment) is polluted with tar.
I vape my concentrates (and flowers) now in an Arizer Solo. When using the concentrates I make a sandwhich (flower/concentrate/flower) and vape away happily.

imo vaporization over combustion is what people need to be doing, that or dont be surprised when you get cancer from SMOKING(<- It doesn't matter what, the act of SMOKING, or combusting is the issue)
Running helps a lot. If you're not doing any kind of strenuous exercise I highly recommend starting a simple cardio regimine. Your lungs are just weak from too much smoke and not enough pure oxygen, you have to make your lungs work hard so they can get that extra oxygen in there that you need. Run 1 mile and I bet the next time you smoke after that you'll be able to take a bigger rip than you have in a long time. I swear the best hits I get are right after I come back from running 5 miles. If your body can take it, push yourself to run 1 mile without stopping, or if you have to stop don't completely stop just keep walking until you make your 1 mile. You will feel like complete shit the first few times but after a little while you'll start noticing how much more air you can pull in when you breathe. Running is the cure for smoking imo
Don't know why you quoted me? I didn't say I was surprised about anything other than how young he is. Cancer doesn't manifest for years in most cases so a 30 year old with lung cancer would surprise me. That doesn't mean I don't think it is possible or dangerous to be smoking anything. Back off your high horse buddy.
BTW, I am a everyday all day smoker. I take oil hits in the AM.
Also, as a counter argument to your "canna smoke creates cancer"...... Have to seen the recent research on cannabis and it's effects on tumors? Scientific evidence shows that tumors have a hard time growing with the presence of cannabis in the body. Something about the cannabis prevents the tumor from getting any bigger and will kill tumors as well. So maybe, just maybe, smoking cannabis doesn't cause cancer.

any chance you came across hash or oil from moldy herbs? I thought i was dying a few years ago, then a chance conversation led me to discover the hash i was smoking (for the past month) was from a crop of bud rotted plants.
two weeks later I was all better.
right now i have been trimming for weeks, and to stay productive, have been on an "oil fast"
just dabs of pure oil, no hash or herbs. dunno if i feel any different in the lungs...but i sure am getting shit done.
you been rockin the omicron vaporizer eciggie thing? wheres the oil for that from?

bro ive been smoking hash almost exclusively since like last december and when I go on a big binge of it i cough the nastiest shit up. I have found that the more resiny the bubble the more brown shit i cough up. Oil being worse than bubble. I dunno if im coughin up the actual resin or just like coughin up my cilla in my lungs that cant take the heavy smoke.

I've always been 100% vaporist, with an occasional smoke(soo gross) if a friend is over or something.... Deff wont waste, but i need a vape hit to destroy all that nasty carcinogenic smoke. in my body.
I've been vaping oil for about a year, and I do notice I cough up sometimes, but that could be because of stress and nerves from school and shit. Whenever I "cough up" it's normal clear stuff. I'm scared more of what the oil is doing to me, but I don't think BHO is harmful at all, what could harm you? Unless you get a shitty can with random shit in it...

Might try cutting a 6" or so circle off an old white tshirt and covering the bong top with it and rubber banding it on for a makeshift bong filter if it's only you using it. Maybe a mouthpiece with a coffee filter circle incorporated in it. The dry ice hash might be free of the chemicals in the water and ice used in water hash. Bho might be diluted with vodka or Everclear and a few drops onto a small bud and allowed to dry to possibly evaporate the rest of the butane residue in it. Butane might have some form of chemicals or trash in it's residue that may be affecting your lungs also. Is the butane stripping off a minute layer of the PCV in those type of extracters? Are you blowing the butane/extract into tempered glass - like a small coffee carafe? Maybe the CO2 extraction needs to be simplified to eliminate the residues in bho - if any! Has anyone tried to use their CO2 bottle like you would use butane to extract oil with? Maybe a paint ball tank? Upside down? Fitted with an adapter to fit the bho rig? We are not really concerned about recycling CO2 or recirculating it like the big $100k units are. We just want some clean oil. Of course, if all of the 10 billion humans were doing it 24/7 then we might be concerned for the environment like the big several billion pounds of chemical laden air discharged daily (with permitted percentages of chemicals) like the big refineries and other industries are doing? But for the thousand MMJ users using a pound of it once a month, it is not even a blip on the CO2 radar...

jesus christ man, i cant even tell you how bad it is to smoke out of a bong excessively like that, seriously.
i know exactly what you mean, for instance i was just like you at one time and did nothing but smoke out of a bong. after about a year just in your case, i had gotten sick on day.. thinking nothing of it i just went about it like any little flu.. well when i was coughing and spitting out i realized i was coughing up pure tar.. looked like the shit that builds up in your bong after a while... i can tell you its the bong first hand, if you just cut off it youll notice how much better your lungs will feel and you wont be coughing up shit ever again.
now everyone thinks im a freak when i smoke anything because i always immediately spit out my saliva and i constantly exhale, most people dont realize how easily that shit builds up.
im pretty sure thats how bob marley died is from cancer related stomach issue from swallowing all that shit over time. most also dont realize one exhale does not completely deplete all the smoke from your lungs, you really have to push and youd be surprised how much smoke is actually staying behind that you dont exhale in one solid breath.
another thing is most people use ice or chilled water thinking it helps, well other than making it smoother and cooler its so much worse. hot air rises obviously, so the colder you get your smoke the harder it is to actually exhale fully. yes youll feel lil bit higher but it in no way is healthier.
its good your vaping now dont go back. ever since that image of all that black shit i coughed up and it wasnt just a little, ill never again use a bong or any smoking device excessively.
vaping is practically all i do now and ive never felt better. plus it saves a shit ton on weed or anything for that matter and just overall feels better to be high on rather than the sometimes overpowering effects of smoke.

^Or you could vape through your bong and ignore all the tar 
People wanna blame the bong when its the flame.

when i used to take monster bong rips, i could rub my teeth after 1 hit and have brown stuff on my fingers. i once went and looked in the mirror afterwards, man did it look gross. the drier the material, the worse it was.
had some lungproblems 3 years back.
even got malaria to boot along with swineflu (lol)
woke up coughing every day.
what i did was smoke weed mixed with tobacco (same as i always do)
till the coughing stopped and now 3 years later i almost never cough (unless i forget to clean the water of my gravity bong or something)
so, in my case, i can definetly say, it WAS NOT smoking that gave me the damn cough in the first place.
also had asthma 5 years back, havent noticed it in quite some while ( i just smoked more, soon i just wheezed occasionally and , well i havent noticed the "wheeze" in maybe 2 years.
perhaps one or 2 wheezes in that time. at most, and i cant place any particular time.

Perfect link thank you so much

exactly, every one of your posts couldnt be more on point. I use my bong 10 times a day, the secret is i dont put a flame to my herb.
Vaporizing is better then combustion in ever way possible. Its healthier, cleaner, and more efficient.
I vape the herb, make cannamilk with the stems/scraps, and brownies with the AVB
