Vapor Quality in Vaporizers
Presently, there are a very few studies which have reviewed the quality of vapor being used for extraction and delivery in various vaporizers. This is mainly because almost all of the studies concentrate on the usage mode of vaporizers and seldom on the quality of vapor. Here we will discuss some of the factors which form the baseline for measuring the quality of vapor:
1. There are at least 60 to 70 quantities of active compounds in cannabis
2. The aromatic terpinoids start to vaporize at around 260 degrees Fahrenheit
3. Bio-active compounds such as CNB, CBD and THC do not vaporize till 370-392 degrees Fahrenheit.
From these considerations, it is clear that for getting the full spectrum of vapor which will be used for inhalation, the compounds need to be extracted and delivered rapidly from a small quantity of sample, one at a time. However, most of the commercially available vaporizers are quite slow in the process of extraction and delivery and thus, the inhaled vapor are initially largely aromatic(How to Use and Store Aromatic Herbs). Then, as the temperature increases, the vapor contains more and more samples of bio-active compounds and is barely aromatic.
One way to deal with this is by using a rapid extraction and delivery approach. Systematic usage of a sequential venture greatly improves the consistently and thereby the quality of the vapor.
Another problem with most of the vaporizers is that they deliver dry air. Using water cooled pipes between the extraction point and delivery point often reduces this problem.
