I’ve had my moments where I’ve taken a big hit and ended up coughing way harder than I expected. It definitely catches you off guard. I switched to using DankGeek glass dab rigs a while back, and it made a huge difference for me. The smoother hits make it way easier on my throat, and I don't end up coughing as much anymore. I remember the first time I tried a new rig; I was so surprised by how much smoother it was! Now I can enjoy the experience without that harsh, lung-busting feeling.
