Default Ventilation

Sorry to beat an old horse..but...ventilation concerns again...
Has anyone ever felt their lungs feeling weird after using the torch for maybe 4 hours? Does that mean my ventilation system sucks?

Thanks!

It can also mean that you are forgetting to breath. Lots of beginners get so focused on the flame and what they are doing that they forget to breath and causing stress on the associated muscles.

A little more information on your current setup (torch, ventilation, studio) might make it easier to answer your question.
