On Vaporizer is a device for heating herbs. It ensures that the plant components dissolve and can be inhaled in the form of steam. The herb is not burned. As a result, there is no smoke that usually contains toxic, harmful particles such as tar or benzene. On Vaporizer is suitable for inhaling the volatile, essential oils that are released from plants and trees. Many of these oils not only have a pleasant smell, but also a health-promoting effect. That’s how it works lavender oilcalming and improving sleep. It was already used in ancient Rome and Greece to cleanse and disinfect the sick and hospital rooms. Throughout history, the fragrant essential oils of plants such as chamomile, jasmine, sage, thyme, rosemary, eucalyptus and lemongrass have been made into perfumes and incense blends for their effect on mind and body.

Smoking vs. Evaporate

On Vaporizer is a device that is used to dissolve and release the active ingredients of medicinal plants such as chamomile or lavender from the plant constituents, such as flowers or leaves. It makes it possible to inhale them, so that they can unfold their beneficial and immediate effects in the human body. Vaporizing is considered to be a cleaner, healthier and more efficient alternative to smoking and burning plant components. When smoking or burning a scorching takes place. As a result, smoke is produced, which contains not insignificant amounts of toxic and therefore harmful by-products such as tar or nitric oxide, which irritate the mouth, throat and lungs. In addition, the combustion temperature destroys most of the active ingredients, so more plant material is needed to achieve the same effect.

Convection vs. conduction

On Vaporizer lets a hot, precisely tempered air stream flow through the plant material, which melts and vaporizes the active ingredients. This process is called convection. Ideally, the steam contains neither tar nor other unwanted by-products. Before the vapor is inhaled, it can be filtered and / or cooled. When the herb has evaporated, no ash remains, but remains in solid form. No wonder the cleaning of most of the Vaporizer fast and uncomplicated: As a rule, only the filling container above a Trashcanbe knocked out. In addition to the process of convection, there is also the conduction, in which the herbs are placed in a metal bowl and then heated. Because contact with the metal can singe the herbs, this method is rarely used for vaporizers. By the way: Most of the quality vaporizers need a socket. This means that vaporizers can be used almost exclusively at home. To evaporate outside, a glass evaporator is a good and high-quality alternative to the vaporizer. A butane gas lighter serves to heat the air around the herbs so that the steam can be released with the plant’s active ingredients.

The history of the vaporizer

In 1993, the method of vaporizing was discovered by the Cherokee medicine man Eagle Bill by a cannabis breeder. He had built a vaporizer with a heat gun. Eagle Bill adapted the principle to his product, the Shake & Vape. The design is based on the method of the Ancient Egyptians to vaporize herbs on hot stones. In 1994, a Canadian company developed the prototype of an electric vaporizer. In 1995, she published an article about her BC Vaporizer in the Vancouver Times, which subsequently gained worldwide recognition and popularity. It was not long before other lovers of medicinal herbs became aware of the method of evaporation. In 1995 entrepreneur and cannabis lover Evert developed a vaporizer („De Verdamper“), which is considered one of the best today. 1996 followed the development of a vaporizer in Germany by Markus Storz. The result was the „Volcano Inhaler“. In 2008, Oglesby & Butler from Ireland presented a practical, cordless vaporizer the size of a smartphone – the „IOLITE Original“ with piezo ignition and butane gas tank, which can also be recommended. An integrated, high quality thermostat stabilizes the temperature to 190 degrees Celsius. Also noteworthy is the „Magic Flight Launch Box“, which is a box made of wood, which convinces with a combination of infrared and conduction.
