Instructions (fist time using a vape)
To determine how many puffs are needed:
1. Inhale (suck in air) for 5 seconds, then take another very short breath of regular air for about 1 second and hold your breath for 10 seconds (see FAQs below if you can’t inhale for 5 seconds or hold breath for 10 seconds).
2. Evaluate your symptoms in 10 – 15 minutes, if symptoms continues then repeat first step unless there are side effects.
3. If your symptoms are controlled by less than four (4) puffs then that will be the number of puffs you use consecutively (no space in between).
4. If your symptoms are not controlled continue using 4 puffs consecutively (no time in between).
Instructions - for continuing to vape (after finding the number of puffs)
Use the number of puffs determined by the first time without any space or time in between puffs (if it took 3 times to control your symptoms, then you will use 3 puffs every time)

What is a 'puff'?
One (1) puff is a 5 second inhalation from vapor, a 1 second inhalation from air and then a 10 second breath hold.*
* As defined by Dr. Morgenstern here and in clinical research.
What if I cannot breath in for 5 seconds or hold my breath for 10 seconds
The amount of puffs you take will need to be adjusted accordingly. For example, since a 2.5 second inhale may result in receiving half the medicine dose (compared to a 5 second inhale) if you aren’t receiving relief you may need to double the number of puffs (See Video). The same rule applies for the number of seconds you hold your breath.
What can I do to reduce coughing from the vape?
If vaping causes coughing you can try using a sucking candy or having some water before vaping.
What if I experience side effects?
Go back to the previous dosage amount that did not cause any side effects and contact Dr. Morgenstern via email.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS OR YOU ARE NOT SURE IF A SIDE EFFECT IS SERIOUS THEN CALL 911.
