The Benefits Of Using A Vaporizer
Tue, 12/08/2009 - 18:03
There are many benefits to using a volcano vaporizer, as it is one of the best vaporizers in the world. It is built incredibly well, only takes around 5 minutes to heat up and is incredible easy to use. But to understand what they are, one must first understand what a vaporizer is. A vaporizer is a device used to release the therapeutic compounds from compounds contained in herbs or active ingredients of plant material. Vaporizing is a much healthier than smoking. A vaporizer heats the material so that the active compounds contained in the plant melt and phase into an aromatic vapor, rather than burning the herb, which produces numerous harmful by products. Ideally, this vapor contains reduced noxious gases and virtually no particulate matter. Vaporizers are generally classified as one of two types based on which method the substance is heated, either by conduction or convection. During conduction heating, the substance is placed on a metal plate that is then heated to release the active constituents. With convection heating, the heating elemement never touches the substance itself. Rather, hot air is passed through the filter which is heated rapidly thus allowing the release of the active constituents. The direct contact between hot metal and the herbs can cause them to burn.
A herbal vaporizer is a device that will heat herb material to a temperature (well below the herb's combustion temperature) which allows it to release its essence without burning it. Obviously, this keeps by products of combustion and harmful carcinogens out of you lungs and creates little or no smoke. So why, then, aren't more people using vaporizers? The, the bottom line is that they are a newer technology that has not been "proven" in a laboratory or by the FDA. However they works extremely well in extracting the pure oils and ingredients found in all herbs.
The Vapor Genie is a herbal vaporizer that has a inert ceramic, high temperature, filter which prevents the flame from coming into contact the herbal blend. The filter then mixes flame, which provides heat for vaproization, with cool air. The filter, does not contain metal, will not contaminate your vapor, and is 100% inert. The filter never needs replacement and will not deteriorate or burn.
