A vaporizer (or vapouriser) is a device used to release the active ingredients of
plant material, commonly
cannabis, or
tobacco, or to release therapeutic compounds from herbs (phyto-inhalation; see also:
aromatherapy). Vaporizing is an alternative to
smoking. Rather than
burning the herb, which produces numerous harmful by-products; a vaporizer heats the material, to ideally 180°C (356°F), so that the active compounds contained in the plant melt and phase into an aromatic
vapor, not smoke. This vapor ideally contains virtually zero particulate matter (
tar) and reduced noxious gases such as
carbon monoxide. Vapors may be filtered and cooled further using a water pipe or an inline water/ice attachment. Then the vapors are inhaled or stored for subsequent inhalations in a "dome" or "balloon". With little to no smoke produced, cooler temperatures, and less material required to achieve the same effect, the irritating/harmful effects of smoking are greatly reduced or eliminated along with
second hand smoke by using a vaporizer. This makes vaporizers useful in places where there are
public bans on smoking.
