 After the first stoner experiences, it is a great event for every THC lover to be able to build a joint by themselves. However, very few people are aware of why this actually works - the main thing is that it works, that it goes in. And even many older smokers are not aware of how it actually comes about that it goes in. After the first stoner experiences, it is a great event for every THC lover to be able to build a joint by themselves.

-When we light a joint, an ember develops that gets hotter the more we pull the joint. The temperature in this ember ranges from about 500 degrees at rest to about 1000 degrees when we pull. Any THC that was in this ember, however, can never go in, as it is simply burned up. In the best case, it produces CO2 and water vapor. In the worse case, due to incomplete combustion, lots of toxins. These are then drawn through the joint and the filter and end up in the lungs. Central are not these substances for the running in: The air heated by the embers flows through the joint and heats the THC present there. This causes the THC molecules to change from the solid phase in which they naturally exist in the resin to the gaseous phase and can enter the lungs. +When we light a joint, an ember develops that gets hotter the more we pull the joint.

-There they are absorbed by the blood and a short time later they reach the brain, where they dock with the nerve cells and trigger what we call a "slice" or "high". A joint is therefore something very inefficient: A large part of the THC can never enter the body, because it is burned in the embers. But a lot of smoke comes along with the dissolved THC. Nicotine is transported into the body in the same way. Be it in a joint that contains tobacco as well as hemp, be it in a pure tobacco cigarette.+Central are not these substances for the running in: The air heated by the embers flows through the joint and heats the THC present there.

-The basic principle of vaporization is to try to construct the heat source (in the joint, the embers) in such a way that no harmful substances are produced. So you just want to heat the THC and the flavors to the point where they become gaseous and can be absorbed into the lungs.+The basic principle of vaporization is to try to construct the heat source (in the joint, the embers) in such a way that that hardly any pollutants are produced ([[https://tinyurl.com/57krjppd|FOPH fact sheet]]). So you just want to heat the THC and the flavors to the point where they become gaseous and can be absorbed into the lungs. 
 This, of course, presents several problems. THC begins to vaporize at temperatures above about 150 degrees. In chemistry literature, one finds the value 200 degrees for the boiling point of THC. In practice, vaporization begins at lower temperatures. But at temperatures from about 250 degrees plant material (hemp flowers, tobacco) begins to burn (so you have then the same as in a joint or a pipe). And even before that, at about 220 degrees, plant material starts to turn black - it doesn't burn, but it slowly chars. This, of course, presents several problems.

 But the break-in is slower than with the joint, but lasts longer. It is more like eating cannabis. However, the THC-vapor works a lot faster than an edible.  But the break-in is slower than with the joint, but lasts longer. It is more like eating cannabis.

 What is also omitted: the feeling of smoking in the mouth, throat and lungs. The vapor of a vaporizer has a much lower density than smoke. The gout is indeed massively more intense - all the flavors of hashish or weed can be enjoyed. At the same time, however, you have the feeling that you are not inhaling anything. Only after a few minutes do you notice how the THC enters, so that something was in it after all. If you consume cannabis with a vaporizer, you have an absolutely pure THC slice: clear, fun and at high doses simply stunning. What is also omitted: the feeling of smoking in the mouth, throat and lungs.

-A joint has of course its advantages: It is quickly made, the utensils for it (Papierli, filter, hemp flowers, lighter) are easy to transport and cost (with the exception of really fine hemp herb...) not much and are available at any kiosk. A vaporizer, on the other hand, usually needs a power outlet and weighs a few kilograms. So it is more of a stationary device. Functioning vaporizers also cost quite a bit: there are hardly any usable machines under 400 francs, the most expensive device available on the market is currently available for around 750 francs.+A joint has of course its advantages: It is quickly made, the utensils for it (Papierli, filter, hemp flowers, lighter) are easy to transport and cost (with the exception of really fine hemp herb...) not much and are available at any kiosk.

 +Electric vaporizers, on the other hand, need power, whether from a wall outlet or a USB powerbank. When the battery is empty, some devices need to be charged before they can be used again (others can be used while charging).
  
 +Good vaporizers cost (as of 2023) from about 200 francs.
