Vaporizers

WHAT IS A VAPORIZER?

A vaporizer is a device used to heat up dry herbs to a temperature, where active ingredients are released into an inhalable vapor.
Good Vaporizers offer a precise temperature control to avoid combustion of the plant material.
Vaporizers are a healthier alternative to combustion and smoking. Smoking burns plant material and produces toxic combustion byproducts which can be harmful when inhaled. Vaporizers, on the other hand, usually use electronically controlled heaters to ensure an extraction of active ingredients below combustion temperatures. Since there is no combustion, the original structure of the plant material is not destroyed but stays intact. This makes it possible to extract active ingredients from the plant over several sessions. There are studies (conducted with the VOLCANO) showing that vaporization is even more efficient than smoking.
