Vape carts and lung/chest discomfort

Few weeks ago I bought Big Smokey Farm vape cart and after a week using it I'm experiencing some mild shortness of breath and discomfort in lungs. I don't smoke tobacco but been using Juul vape for over a year and never experienced such discomfort. Have no physical health issues. Just checking if anyone else here have any issues using these particular vape carts. Would really appreciate other's experiences.
Thanks

Yeah, sorry to say, I think these carts are dodgy. Experienced similar feelings after just a tiny bit (like 1mm) of one of those carts. Turns out the cart packaging can be bought by anyone and filled by anyone. Not saying they're made with spice, but probably poorly extracted. Even a lot of the ones in the US are said to be fake.

Good news is I've felt a lot better over time (around 2 weeks) and got checked out by a doctor, but, yeah, I'd stay away from these "cali" carts.

This is the price of prohibition (harm maximization). As Blackdragon says, switch to something else it's not worth your health.

The main problem could well and truly be that the cart is fake, which would be quite unsettling as fake carts usually have a wide variety of chemicals that no one knows about as they aren’t regulated and official. However, if this isn’t the case and you know for sure then it may be because you’ve been vaping for a long ass time, so I’d recommend switching up how you get your thc intake, for example maybe change it up to edibles or oil, etc. Hope this helps mate, make sure to get back to me if your still experiencing the discomfort.

Big corporate brands with aggressive lawyers, hate them but they would solve this particular problem.

Personally I only toke using carts. I find it a much cleaner "healthier" way of consuming cannabis and I really really enjoy it. I now toke way more than I used to when I was smoking flower and it's a lot more potent. I definitely recommend changing brand and vendor and highly recommend sn2d.

I've researched extensively into the brands that are sold through sn2d and would add select as another brand.

Yes, be weary and use a degree of common sense but as a good friend said to me when I brought up the issue of the carts that we are using could be fake, he responded by saying "he doesn't feel any different and isn't sprouting extra fingers or toes and will continue to smoke carts". I've never looked back.

Good luck, with your journey on finding what works for you because it could just be that carts are not for you.

Was it one of the vapes on this list? Might have dodgy stuff in it. I'm trying to find out if anyone sells any of the non dodgy ones in UK cos I want a good one real bad. For the record I love this site I really do, but worried some dodgy products are gonna ruin its rep
