Yes: Any form of marijuana has to be considered a substance that can cause changes in sperm quality and production. Use of any form should be discontinued if considering a pregnancy starting 3 months before trying.

Yes.: The effects of mj, however delivered, occur as a result of thc (& possibly other chemicals) entering the blood stream & ultimately into the cells of the body. Whatever smoked mj does, vaporized mj will do. By the way, fertility issues have apparently gotten your attention, but please also be aware that mj has a number of other serious problems associated with its use.

About: Some of the oxidants are removed by the vapor that would otherwise be inhaled with pot, but the main thc effects of pot on sperm function and hormone balance remain unchanged.
