The e-cigarette has recently become all the rage. The device looks like a cigarette but is smokeless. It is basically a mini-vaporizer. It heats the nicotine solution (without burning) into a liquid vapor which is inhaled into the lungs. The “smoker” gets the effects of the nicotine without inhaling any of the harmful chemicals from burning tobacco like tar and other chemicals.

The technology is not new. Medical Marijuana patients have been using vaporizers (see this iolite vaporizer review for more info) for quite some time. The principle is the same as the e-cigarette: heat the medical herb up without burning it. The heating process releases “the good stuff” into a vapor that can be inhaled. This is especially crucial for the MMJ patient who doesn’t need any additional harmful things for an already degraded physical condition.
Why “vape” instead of smoke?
Vaporization, also known as volatization, is a process by which the active elements of a substance are released through the application of heat without combustion. In other words, the substance is heated, but never burned. This is an important distinction. When a substance is burned, a chemical change takes place and the molecular structure of the substance is actually changed. When there is excessive heat, this process of denaturing becomes pyrolysis – a major drawback to smoking a material. Pyrolysis changes the physical make up of your smoking material and is believed to lead to the introduction of additional harmful toxins.
