Ever Vaporize?

If you enjoy smoking cannabis and have never vaporized, you should seriously consider trying it. Why vaporize? Well, vaporizing allows you to inhale the flavor and essence of the pot without all the smoke. How the hell does that work? I'll explain.....


When you smoke herb, the substance is heated to very high temperatures, sometimes exceeding 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. This is an excessive temperature because you can enjoy the essence of the herb at around 365 degrees Fahrenheit. Rather than burning your pot, a vaporizer heats the material so that the active compounds in the plant melt. This causes a phase change in the matter, which is now an aromatic vapor.


The new "smoke" is not actually smoke, but rather an evaporated vapor that has the appearance of smoke. Ideally, the vapor contains less harmful gases like, carbon monoxide. With no smoke produced, the harmful effects of smoking are greatly reduced or eliminated by using a vaporizer.
