Introduction to Vaporizers

Vaporization is an effective way to deliver the therapeutic components of marijuana without the toxic by products of combustion. The vegetable material is placed in the vaporization device and heated to a temperature of 180° to 200° C (356° to 392° F). This causes the essential oils to volatilize, or evaporate, into a pure vapor, which is then collected and inhaled. The resulting vapors contain no tars, hydrocarbons, benzene, carbon monoxide or other toxic pryolytic gases and by products of combustion. Respiratory risks associated with smoked marijuana are eliminated.

Aromatherapy Vaporizers heat materials to just below the point of combustion. A vaporizer is a device that can extract active ingredients from a variety of compounds. A vaporizer can be used with a variety of other herbal blends, as well as essential oils.

Vaporizers use fans, pumps, or direct inhale to administer the vapor to users. Some vaporizers use a food grade tube to inhale the vapor. They often have some kind of mouthpiece to keep any heat away from your mouth and to ease in the cleaning process. Other vaporizers use a fan or pump to blow the air into a receptacle or into the area around the user.

A common receptacle is balloons or bags to hold vapor. This allows you to use it for different types of applications, and it is convenient because the bag is separate from the device and easier to use in a lot of situations. The bag is made from heat resistant plastic.

Most vaporizers have more than one conceivable way to use or deliver the vapor. Pumps or fans expand the possible uses. The most basic direct inhale vaporizers are generally inhalers only, but the uses still vary depending on the situation.

Small portables tend to be restricted to more individual use, and fans or pumps are not so practical for handheld models. Nonetheless, handhelds have come  long way and many are very effective, although generally the larger desktop models are a little more effective because they have more surface area to control the heat.
