Part of the flavouring and active ingredients has already
vaporised, but the majority is still intact. |

the desired ingredients have vaporised and only non-incinerated
fibrous material remains. |
The vaporising method involves permeating
the herbs with hot air, causing the ingredients (active ingredients
and flavouring) to vaporise slightly above the vaporising temperature
of the ingredients (a result of the controlled heating effect)
and blend with the air for subsequent inhalation.
The ingredients also vaporise during smoking. Hot smoke fumes
flow through the herbs, causing the ingredients to vaporise. The
heat required is generated through the combustion of the herbs
in this case, a process which involves serious disadvantages.
Smoking involves the unavoidable inhalation
of toxic combustion by-products along with the desired ingredients,
these being carcinogenic, causing irritation of the respiratory
tract and emitting noxious odours.
In addition to this, the uncontrolled combustion temperature (which
is much too high) causes the unnecessary destruction of the majority
of the ingredients, thus squandering the original material.
Time to put an end to this! Invest in your health and save money
at the same time!
The following table contains a list of the
herbs which are suitable for vaporizing in the Volcano. The vapors
from the herbs listed can help you to relax from our everyday
hectic and stressful life.
