-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]]).

 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.

 +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.
