All about Vaporizers and Classifications
A Vaporizer is the best substitute to smoking, giving the same effect but ensures that you get only the desirable substances. Vaporizers heat your herbs at temperatures that release active chemicals that provide therapeutic effects and decrease harmful gases released when smoking. Vaporizers are used because of the many health benefits it could give to the user.
Vaporizers are classified into three types according to how they heat substances namely thermal conduction, convection and thermal radiation. Thermal conduction makes use of direct contact of the metal plate with the herbs; and conducts heat to release the active substances. Convection on the other hand never touches the herbs but heats them through hot air. This method is more effective in releasing active substances in the herbs than thermal conduction. Lastly, radiation heating uses bright light. The substances absorb the energy, the temperature rises and vaporizes the herbs to produce the desirable components.
