![Unraveling the Causes of Coughing and Harshness in Smoking Cannabis](https://cdn05.zipify.com/-X29dolC-mO88ntfbFcIpM5RMUE=/fit-in/3840x0/636fe2b1a18e4f38971ae263acfde9ab/weedgets-holiday-email-banners-78.jpeg)
When enjoying cannabis, coughing and throat irritation can sometimes dampen the experience. Here’s a look at why this happens and how to mitigate it:
1. Smoke Temperature: High temperatures can irritate the respiratory tract. When cannabis is burned, the resulting smoke is hot and can cause a harsh sensation in the throat and lungs, leading to coughing.
2. Combustion Byproducts: Burning cannabis produces tar and other harmful chemicals, similar to tobacco smoke, which can be harsh on your lungs and throat.
3. Poor Quality Cannabis: Lower quality or improperly cured cannabis may contain pesticides, molds, or mildew, which contribute to a harsher smoke and increased coughing.
4. Dryness: Overly dry cannabis burns hotter and faster than properly maintained buds, which increases the harshness of the smoke.
5. Inhalation Technique: Taking too large a hit or inhaling too quickly can overwhelm the lungs with hot smoke, causing irritation and coughing.
Preventive Measures:
-
Use the Maze-X Pipe: The Maze-X pipe by Weedgets is designed to cool the smoke through its innovative waterless filtration technology, significantly reducing harshness and providing a smoother hit.
-
Stay Hydrated: Keeping yourself hydrated before and after smoking helps maintain throat moisture and reduces irritation.
-
Opt for Higher Quality Cannabis: High-quality, well-cured cannabis is less likely to contain irritants that cause harshness and coughing.
-
Use Activated Carbon Filters: Incorporating Weedgets' activated carbon filters or using pre-roll cones with integrated carbon filters can greatly reduce the amount of tar and other harmful substances inhaled, making your smoking experience cleaner and less harsh.
Understanding these factors can help you adjust your smoking method and choose products that offer a smoother experience.

"The best cannabis delivery device! I have spent thousands of dollars on various cannabis delivery devices for the many different forms available today. This incredible device provides the smoothest smoke with the most efficient burn leading to most pleasant buzz. No other device or type is needed. They are all a waste of time and money. The maze X is the only device a cannabis user will ever need."

"Best little 'whatchamacallit' in recent history. I bought the starter kit and I gotta say, the small and medium are just incredible. The small one works great with regular joints. I have been experimenting with cannagars recently and have been making 'cigarillo' sized cannagers and the medium tip is just the perfect size for it. I plan to start making fatter cannagars shortly and I believe the large will be just right for the largers sized ones. The extra large, I'm not quite sure I'll find a need for it as it is really quite large. I assume, as the pictures show, that the extra large tip would work great on some pipes and possibly small bongs. Really a great little gizmo."

"A Solid Piece of Smoking Equipment! I have truly enjoyed using my new Maze-X Pipe. It is such a solid piece of smoking equipment, so well thought out and well put together. It has it all...easy to use...easy to clean...no tiny, little replacement parts that become instantly lost. I was so impressed, I just bought another Maze-X for a present!"
