The main difference between a vaporizer and a conventional joint lies in the type of heating and the associated production of harmful substances.
Vaporizer:
- Heating: Heats the material to a controlled temperature at which it vaporizes without burning.
- Pollutants: No combustion, therefore fewer harmful substances such as tar or carbon monoxide are produced.
- Efficiency: Usable active ingredients are released optimally, allowing the material to be used more efficiently.
- Taste: The vapor is purer and preserves the natural taste of the material.
- Smell: Milder and less noticeable than smoke.
Traditional joint:
- Heating: The material is burned, producing smoke.
- Pollutants: Combustion produces tar, carbon monoxide, and other toxic substances.
- Efficiency: Many active ingredients are lost through combustion.
- Taste: The smoke often masks the natural flavors of the material.
- Smell: Strong and long-lasting.
