-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.
  
 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). Electric vaporizers, on the other hand, need power, whether from a wall outlet or a USB powerbank.
