 Smoking weed and acne - considering switching to vape

I have noticed that when I have been smoking weed recently (approx twice a week) that I break out right after a smoke session (wake up with new pimples). If I go a week without smoking my face is 100% clear.
if I switch to a vaporizer would this not be an issue?
Have you guys seen the Arizer?

No, smoke as much as you want. Just make sure you follow this: www.acne.org ; it's a GODSEND. Acne is caused by bacteria, right? Well, this puts oxygen UNDER your skin, so bacteria wont have the conditions to grow.

Do it. Vaping is awesome. So much healthier and the high is better in my opinion. I don't know about smoke causing acne but it does age the skin.

"Question: Do you smoke or eat marijuana for medicinal or other purposes?
Your answer: A couple/few times per week
Marijuana can cause shifts in testosterone levels in both males and females. Any change in hormones can aggravate acne symptoms."
Got this from acne.org

I vaped for the first time recently, and LOVED it. I wish I had money to buy a decent vape.

Yeah, the high is so much more "up" and cerebral. Just feels so much cleaner.
My roommate got a Vaporite for only $65 on ebay.

Just try a few acne cleansers. Some work well for some people, while others don't.

I have oily skin and I've tried quite a few cleansers. This is the best thing that I've come across. It's expensive, but a bottle like that lasts almost a year. I'm not saying to buy that, but try a few and experiment.
Oh, and never touch your face. So many people break out by spreading bacteria and dirt around on their face.

I just got back from a trip to the beach and I broke out like crazy all weekend. I was thinking it was the sun, but I also was high the entire time. So, hmmm.

Dietary sources are the biggest source of acne, gluten can be a big player. Are you munching out on junk food? I smoke week all the time (mostly vape) and have very nice skin (although I never had acne in high school, which I also put to good diet) . I recommend eating lots of fruit and veggies to start and then avocados, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds etc. Munch out on good foods and I guarantee your skin will look nicer.
Also, washing your face is always a good idea;)
Raw pumpkin seeds are super tasty, nice and crunchy for salads, full, the best vegetarian source of zinc and incredible for the skin!

"A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.
Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security."

For me I notice when I eat highly refined oils (ie fastfood) I get sparse acne.

Acne is genetic. Some things will aggravate it, and some treatments will lessen the severity of it, but you either have it or you don't. I had acne and weed never made mine noticeably better or worse.

that's just wrong. acne is not genetic. it has to do with balance of all the organ systems, mainly the kidneys.
