Just curious about vaping water

[graywoulf]

It may be a crazy question but as I get further into my vaping experience, I am very curious about using vaping for medicinal purposes. I am wondering if distilled water could be vaped in order to help with chest congestion or if it would do any good at all. As I said, I am just curious so I thought I would ask. Now if anyone could direct me to any good information about medicinal vaping I would be very interested in that information, Thanks!

Good question. I don't think it will work as well as you think. I once put a little bit of water based liquid in mind and it just seemed like breathing hot water and felt wrong.

Heh, what you're looking for is a humidifier.

Vapor is hot steam. Dripping straight distilled water would be hot, uncomfortable, and NOT soothing on your throat in the least. There ARE vaporizers that are meant (primarily for children) to help respiratory issues, but these work with really large, high-resistance atomizers that behave VERY differently from an e-cigarette. Again, do NOT vape water. It's not a pleasant experience.

A humidifier produces a cool mist, slowly and over the course of a long period of time. Both the cool mist/hot steam are beneficial to respiration, but vaporizers (or "nebulizers") usually have face-masks to direct the vapor into a child's mouth/nose. Usually the water also has antibiotics or other medicine in it.

Buy a humidifier or a vaporizer (commonly referred to as a nebulizer). Don't drip water, lol.

Erm...I may be wrong about this one bur I do have some medical and biochem background...but generally allowing much water in the lungs is generally a bad idea. Humidifiers add very small amounts of humidity into the air for indirect inhalation and hence have beneficial effects, but vaping true pure water vapor directly I believe would offer irritation to the throat and lungs, especially with as large clouds as other ppl blow out. Adding a little distilled water to a DIY recipe isnt a bad thing when flavors might be overpowering, mixed too thickly etc, but as far as vaping water goes I believe theres already a device on the market that does it at safe levels, a humidifier.

Some people add a few drops of distilled water per ml of juice to thin out their juice. Vaping high amounts of distilled doesn't work. It doesn't produce any vapor.

I have no idea if vaping water (even in a small amount) helps with chest congestion.

 

[graywoulf]

Thank you all for your information and input. I already use both an evaporative and a cool mist humidifier in my home at present. I do so for their effect in making the temperature seem more comfortable but not for medicinal purposes. I am however glad to learn that I can use purified water to thin e juices as needed. Thanks again.

You can't vape water, so it doesn't matter.

I like eucalyptus menthol juice for chest congestion. It helped a lot for me.

 

[graywoulf]

I had wondered about eucalyptus juice and if there was such a thing. I do not care for menthol though as it seems like like licking a "vapo rub" jar. LOL! Seriously though, is the eucalyptus juice safe and if so, where is the best juice available? Thanks!

I always wondered if this existed, but I never took the time to look for any. Could you tell me where you get yours from?

 

[Jimi D.]

I DIY. I use this Eucalyptus with Mint-INW - Bull City Vapor and diluted menthol crystals.

I am glad you asked this. I was wondering the same thing for a while. Good info.

Have you tried?
Its not sarcasm or something, I am just wondering.
The highest water content I have wcwe vaped (and I am vaping it right now) is 15%.

Sort of kind of...

If you ever rinsed out an atomizer and then tried to vape it before it's completely dry...
You would find out it does not work.

And if you've ever rinsed out your atomizer and used the coil to dry it completely...
You will never get any vaper during that process.

What you want is a nebulizer or COLD air/water humidifier/vaporizer.
