General Information

A vaporizer is a device used to release active compounds from plant material. Most commonly used with tobacco or cannabis, some say it is healthier because the material is only heated enough to release the active chemicals without burning the inactive organic matter. The essential oils are boiled (vaporized) and released in to the air, but the fiberous material is not burned. This means the worst combustion byproducts are not produced.

Decrease the harmful effects of smoking

Vaporizing is the latest way to enjoy tobacco and other herbs without damaging your health. Vaporizers heat plant material gently and have far less harmful by-products and carcinogens than in smoke.

A NORML-MAPS study published January 7, 2001 found that "it is possible to vaporize medically active THC by heating marijuana to a temperature short of the point of combustion, thereby eliminating or substantially reducing harmful smoke toxins that are normally present in marijuana smoke." The study tested a device called the M1 VolatizerAE, which produced THC at a temperature of 365 degrees Fahrenheit (185 degrees Celcius), while completely eliminating three measured toxins, benzene, toluene and naphthalene. Carbon monoxide and smoke tars were also reduced[1] (http://www.marijuananews.com/news.php3?sid=378).
